Slow Cooker BBQ Beer Beef n Cheese Wraps

This turned out to be a very flavorful dish and made enough meat to save for left overs! I used agave syrup but you could substitute brown sugar if you wish. This came out so good I can't wait to make it again! Please try it and let me know what you think. NOTE: The rice in this recipe gets kind of mushy and blends in with the meat as kind of a filler. If you don't like your rice this way then I suggest taking some of the liquid out of the crock pot to cook your rice with on the stove. But really, it was good cooked in the crock pot, just not your usual rice. :) 2-3 lb. London broil 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix 1 tsp. minced garlic 1 tsp. chili powder 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce 1/4 cup. agave syrup 1 can beer (I used Pabst beer) 2/3 cup rice uncooked ------------------------- 8 tortillas shredded cheese ------------------------- 1/4 cup ranch dressing 1/2 cup sour cream Coat crock pot with oil, add London broil and dump everything

Chipotle Bacon Lentil Tacos

This recipe is a somewhat different take on tacos, but I didn't know what to call them so here it is! These 'tacos' are an easy, super healthy dinner and they were a huge hit at my house tonight!  I'm so happy when my kids gobble up their dinners - and it's somewhat healthy food! Yay! :)  Now.

Bacon makes everything taste better....
