This sounds interesting. Thanks for posting it. I never would have thought of putting BBQ sauce in stew.

Do your kids eat anything that has BBQ sauce? Mine do. In fact they want BBQ on everything even vegetables. Recipe sounds delicious.

Thanks!

Stephanie,

The recipe sounds delicious and I'm certainly going to try it. I love using the crockpot. It makes life so much easier when I have to pick the boys up after school.

Be sure to drop over to my Writing Nook and pick up a copy of the gardening button. Enjoy!

Blessings,
Mary

I've always liked Watkins Vanilla. I usually buy the clear in a large bottle. It lasts forever. And their black pepper. I think you can buy it in the grocery store now.
