Notes

This is one of the three recipes we use after making our Slowcooker/crockpot shredded tri-tip.  After the tri-tip is prepared and divided this makes a simple, quick, and hearty meal.  
We will make mashed potatoes, either homemade or instant real mashed potatoes.  Our brand of choice is Idahoan.  This brand has different flavor varieties, is quick to make and delicious.  
Our sauteed zucchini recipes is a great way to finish off this meal.
