Notes

Storage:

Store leftovers in an airtight container (or covered with plastic wrap) in the fridge for up to three days. This recipe doesn't freeze well.

Tips:

Be sure to spray the crockpot well with nonstick cooking spray for easy clean-up (or use a slow cooker liner).
The Italian salad dressing mix that you want to use is the dry powdered mix, it's not a container of salad dressing. Don't substitute, it's not the same thing. This is VERY important.
Do not mix the packet like it tells you to on the back of the package. This is meant to be used dry!
