That sounds like one heck of a sandwich! I am sure my husband would love me forever if I made him one of those.
I love how this recipe sounds! I'm getting ready to have company for 10 days starting this evening, so I may just have to add these to the menu!
This is a great idea, especially during the ever hectic holidays when I feel like we're pressed for time and I cannot BEAR to order pizza or grab drive thru food one more time!
This sounds like such a nice summer dish when you don't want to turn on the oven!
This is as easy as it gets! I love how you put them in a muffin instead of the traditional bun! This actually sounds really good for breakfast!
These sandwiches look absolutely delicious! I'll have to convince the hubby to make some for me!
I'm definitely going to try this! I like that I can easily make it gluten free by omitting the muffin, definitely a plus!
I'm fairly new to crockpot cooking, and these sound simple enough for me to attempt! Pinning so I can refer back to this later!
I don't eat meat but my family would love this recipe. All things pesto!
I would use Quorn as I am a veggie but oh boy what a delicious recipe. I can't wait to take this to work.
This looks absolutely delicious! I hardly ever use my crockpot for making dinner because I am out of the house the entire day. But this would be great to try on the weekend.
Yum! This looks awesome. I am looking for new crock pot recipes too. I ended up getting a second crock pot to use for our Christmas Eve party this year, so now I am on the search for lots of crock pot meals – that and they seem so much easier!
My crockpot will be happy to make this one for me. Sounds delish and easy!!!
It sounds so Italian, and I love it. Pesto, oregano, and chicken…mmm yummy!
I don't eat meat, but I must admit that looks good. My son would love this!
These look delicious and easy, which means my kind of meal! I love that they can be made in a crockpot. I'm always looking for new recipes!
