Crock pots aren’t just for simmering safe recipes, and chicken doesn’t always have to be the staple choice. We decided to go a little on the adventurous side with this dish and venture over into making Mongolian Beef. This savory dish is slightly tangy, spicy and juicy, but is sure to have your kids asking for more. We couldn’t resist when we found this mouth watering dish from Very Culinary.
