Welcome back to day 2 to March Madness Must Haves. BBQ Chicken Sandwiches are on the menu.

I swung by before school pickup to grab what I needed from Hy-Vee (sponsored) for this recipe. I love how quick I can get in and out of the store!

This is a great game day recipe because the slow cooker does the work for you. It also can sit on warm through the game so guests can grab their sandwich whenever they want to.

The ingredients are super simple and you can use whatever BBQ sauce is your favorite to make it taste just like you want it to.

Freezer Tip Friday!

Don’t throw away leftover rice. Freeze it in small portions to use for later.

When reheating, just add a little water or broth to prevent it from drying out.

This is a great way to reduce food waste.

Hope you can use this tip soon!
