Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Mom's Tips- Pour a little water into bottom of cans when emptied and pour back into crockpot, Also, do NOT drain tomatoes or beans. Pour everything. You can use Pam Non-stick Spray instead of added butter or oil. Also I can't believe it's not butter spray for a healthier option.
