So, this is the second time I've made this recipe, and it is still FABULOUS!!! I used a crock pot the first time and on the stove top the second time (because I started it too late for the crock pot). Both times, I served it with pasta (highly recommended). This time, I cooked the pasta in the sauce to soak up all that juicy goodness. And I had some fresh mozzarella around, so I sliced that and melted it in the top. OH. MY. GOSH, YOU GUYS!!! Talk about next level!!! This is quickly becoming a family staple in our house! It's quick & easy to prep and makes a DELICIOUS meal!
