The purpose of What’s For Dinner? is to provide you a recipe with items on sale this week, with no more than 10 ingredients (not including pantry items), and coming in at under $10 per meal.
With the return of cooler temperatures is the return of slow-cooked oven meals.
(Because no one wants to run their oven for three hours when it is 90 degrees outside.)
This one is a family favorite (aka Know Thy Family will eat the whole thing). It is an easy-to-make-put-it-in-the-oven-and-forget-it kind of meal. Serve with brown or white rice and some fruit and you’ll have a hit.

This sounds so good. I’m wondering if it would work in the crockpot? I’m going to make some adaptations for our allergies and try this out. 🙂
adaptations I made
Used homemade gluten free cream of mushroom soup and added GF beef bouillon.
Added a can of mushrooms
Used uncured bacon from whole foods
Cooked in crock pot on high for 6hrs.
Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Does this work with chicken thighs? Do you just need to adjust the cook time?
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe!
