Tomatoes – chopped

Brown ground beef and onions. Mix in beans. In a separate bowl, mix sour cream and soup. Spoon half of sour cream mixture on the bottom of a baking pan. Fill tortillas with beef mixture, roll up, and arrange in baking pan. Spoon remaining half of sour cream mixture over the tortillas. Cover with shredded cheese. Sprinkle tomatoes on top. Freeze. Bake at 350° for 25 - 30 minutes or until cheese melts and tortillas are golden brown.

Crockpot recipe blog

Just got a new crockpot this week. Looking forward to 6.5 quarts of slow cooking goodness!

To honor low-key cooking, here is a blog where the author's goal was to use her crockpot 365 days in 2008. Every day. Yikes.

Let's hope she's hit a few success along the way, even if her pics make the food look disgusting. :P
