This slow cooker picadillo is one of my favorite recipes from my mom and by far my all-time favorite slow cooker recipe! This recipe is too easy to make. I have a few fun gadgets that make it even easier like my food processor, dicer and baggy stands. If you’re looking for more kitchen hack products, here are My Amazon Kitchen Musts!
