TRIED 'N' TRUE: Fix dry ingredients ahead of time for these sliders

By Jackie Lindley

It seems like everywhere we look, we see Sliders. I never knew what they were until my neighbor and good friend, Reta Bumpus, gave me this recipe.

It has been a very good recipe to have on hand. I like to fix the dry ingredients ahead of time. This is a meal you put into a slow cooker and leave it for 8 to 10 hours on low. Serve it with a salad, cole slaw — any side dish. Don’t forget to use the regular small dinner rolls for your sliders. Thanks Reta.
