,,,.and for ringing in the New Year, too. So if you are getting together with friends, or just hanging out with family only, this should please everyone as either a buffet item or served at the table. It is one of those “set it and forget it” deals, since you know how long it takes, and you can start the day by putting this thing together. As always, Betty Crocker’s kitchen mavens do their job, but the seasonings should be to your taste.<\/p>\n

So let’s quietly say “Bye-bye” to the weirdest year on record, and let the scent of good food from the slow cooker waft through the house until someone, some short person who got all excited over a pack of colored markers at Christmas or a good kid’s book like “Have Spacesuit – Will Travel”, says, “When do we eat? I’m starving!”, and everybody says “Yeah! When do we eat???”<\/p>\n

Happy New Year, and many, many more down the road!<\/p>\n
