Wow, I can't believe it's that hot already. I am printing this out for dinner tomorrow. I love lettuce wraps and need an easy, slow cooker dinner that can be made in advance. Perfect – thanks Kalyn!
Alyssa, our temperatures have been up to 93F already! Glad you like the recipe.
You can never go wrong with these lettuce wraps! Well, at least not for me. Hubby always has to have the filling on bread, but that's fine. 😉
Kalyn, you are so right about the slow cooker being such an asset in the summer. I've even put mine on my table on the screened porch before when I used it to get ALL the heat out of the kitchen! Will look forward to your summer labeling. 🙂
