  1. Mmmm... thank you for posting this. I'm looking forward to trying it. I've been on the hunt for good crock pot recipes. I love coming home from work to find that dinner is already ready!

  2. Sounds delish! Is it as good as Olive Garden's, or better?

  3. Laurie, yes, it's a knock-off of Olive Garden's recipe. I think it would be exactly the same as theirs if I put in double the Tabasco but that's too spicy for me.
