In my last shopping trip, I grabbed a bag of potatoes, some onions and frozen vegetables since they are items that store well and last longer. Plus, they are so versatile! I’m sure many families have potatoes and onions on-hand right now especially during a time when we are looking for foods which keep us from going to the store often. Using these ingredients, I thought you may enjoy this recipe that we love using frozen cauliflower, potatoes and onions. Super easy, delicious and your crock pot cooks it for you.
