It’s no secret how much we love to use our Crock-Pot around here.  We find that it is much easier to feed our large family this way. We can make big enough batches of food and it’s also great to be able to prep and make something in the morning, toss it in the crock-pot and leave it to cook during the day while we do other things.  Crock-pot cooking definitely makes things a lot easier around here.

Mother Nature was evil to us once again today……yesterday was wearing flip flops and had grass and today I woke up to this.

Since Mother Nature decided to deliver snow to us today, we thought today was the perfect day for soup so Alex got to work this morning prepping all the ingredients and throwing them in the crock-pot for Cheeseburger Soup!

This soup was soooo good, the entire family loved it!  All of the kids ate it and didn’t even know they were eating all kinds of vegetables…..vegetables they never want to eat!!!!
