I love my slow-cooker. We use it every week for at least one dish to save time at night when the weather gets cooler. And, this crock pot go-to recipe doesn’t disappoint! It’s easy to make and very adaptable. Case in point, the original recipe called for all limes but I used most of them up last night. I had a lemon so I just substituted that in and it gave it a new citrus flavor (you’ll notice the change reflected in the updated version of this recipe below)!
