This is another quick and simple recipe for your crock pot. This recipe from New Mexico and a dear friend of the parish when I lived there- you remember the one with the 4 boys-Mathew,Mark,Luke and John. She is a marvelous cook and baker and I learned a lot of secrets from her when I was very young living there ( about 22). So that makes this recipe about 50 some years old for me . I do not know how long she had it in her family-- I just know-- It's so good.
