This is a good crockpot recipe that I thought would be good to share. Everyone seems to be so busy and having dinner made when you get home is so nice and often saves us from calling for pizza. Of course, I had to change it a little but it is vegan if you don’t garnish with feta, so it works for potlucks, too.
