I decided to make these into individual servings instead of slicing. I find it helps me control portions if I already know exactly what I can eat.
These were easy to throw together and then put in the slow cooker while I was outside raking and picking up leaves. 16 bags later, oh boy! The fall and spring clean up really gives me a great workout. Mulching will be done in a couple of weeks!
