The fall after Michael and I started dating Cris made these yummy Crock Pot BBQ Chicken Buns for us one time when we were up visiting. So, in my mind, they are on my “perfect fall foods” list. And with little Miss Iyla’s arrival coming in less than a month, (eek!) I knew that this recipe would be perfect to freeze up to have on hand when this Momma is gonna be in some desperate need of easy meals that I love and adore.
I actually froze it up in two bags so that I could have it multiple times. With dividing this recipe in two, we ate about 6 sandwiches off one pack. Ryder loved it so much that he had to have his own FULL SIZE sandwich both times we had it…and he ate it all. I don’t know where he puts it!
