What’s in Your Chimmichanga?
This week, we made Shredded beef sandwiches from the Slow and Savory Cookbook and had leftovers. A few days later I put on a pot of Slow Cooker Refried beans. I also found some hot poblano pepper turkey sausage ($.75 a package, short date sale) in the freezer that needed to be used. Chimmichangas seemed like [...]
