Braving My Slow Cooker

I have to admit I have always been scared of my crock pot...until now!

Don't get me wrong.  I've used my slow cooker on occasion...to keep my meatballs or chili warm during football parties!  But, I had never ever made a meal in it.  I don't know why because everyone makes it look and sound so easy.  For some reason, I just had an aversion to it, which I knew I needed to break asap!  So, where did I start?  Pinterest, of course, where I found some delicious and easy crock pot meals!

My first crock pot meal was actually this Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken from Semi Homemade Mom but I forgot to snap some photos of it before my family devoured it.  With one slow cooker meal under my belt, I decided to try this Slow Cooker Bacon-Wrapped Apple BBQ Chicken and it was awesome!  I've actually made it twice in less than a week.  It is that good!

This is how mine turned out but I'll let you visit the link above for the recipe since it's not one of my originals and I didn't alter it.  I even used Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce and Gala apples (my fav!) like she suggested.  I like to give credit where credit is due when I can.  So thank you, Nikki at Chef in Training, for this awesome recipe.  Can't wait to try some of your other slow cooker favorites!

Hope you all enjoy this family-friendly crock pot favorite!
