Welcome to this week’s Publix Super Meals. Each week I am going to share a recipe to help you take the Publix Super Deals and turn them into Publix Super Meals!

Well this week I saw the olive BOGO and knew that I wanted to whip up some Picadillo! With the holiday craziness, I am all for dinner options that are quick and easy. So instead of doing the recipe on the stove, I decided to throw everything in the crockpot. I do this with my pasta sauce so I figured that the Picadillo would work too. It turned out great and took very little effort.

This is a perfect weeknight meal and great comfort food on a chilly day. As you can see the ingredient list is pretty small so you can whip this one up without breaking the budget. Try my Easy Crockpot Picadillo and let me know what you think.
