Slow Cooker Funeral Potatoes (Hash Brown Casserole)
Funeral potatoes have always been a food day favorite at my work but the topic came up and I discovered that my husband had never had it. I needed my oven for other things so I came up with this slow cooker version. I also chose to use potato chips over the traditional cornflake topping but either will work.
Date and Spinach Salad
An almost no-cook salad! If you do not like the idea of eating raw spinach, you can blanch it before shredding.
Greek Pulled Pork
A coworker shared this Greek pulled pork recipe with me. It's another one of my favorite comforting slow cooker foods. I don't know how I survived without this recipe in my life. But I am glad I don't have to, and neither do you! I like to serve this on a hoagie or roll with chips and dip.
