Happy New Years Eve! Since there are lots of football games on TV this week, I thought this would be a great recipe for when you need to feed a lot of people and you don't want to be in the kitchen all day. I love using my crock pot and actually wish I used it more because every time I do, I am amazed at how perfect the meat turns out and I didn't even have to do anything! It's the best just sticking all your ingredients in there in the morning or the night before and then you have this delicious meal ready for you in no-time. Once the meat is done, all you have to do is toast these buns with the cheese on one side to get melted and then you're ready to layer on the beef and sauce. I added some sweet potato fries as a side because they go great with these sliders. Hope you enjoy this easy, party ready recipe!
