Bargain recipe of the week- Giant Eagle!

Bargain Meal of the Week

I heart Giant Eagle!!! They are having great sales again this week. This is a recipe that I am really excited to try. I don't have 3 hours to simmer something however, so I will be trying that step in a crock pot. That way I can start it in the morning and it will save some time. Happy Eating!

Check out Stretching a Buck deals here to see more deals at Giant Eagle. I will not expense spices/oils since most of us have them on hand.
