Friday recipe: Pepper Steak

Got a new crockpot for Christmas, but no new cookbook to go with it. I never really used a crockpot before, so it's a little daunting to figure out how to use it ad make stuff. But I've heard that a ham in the crockpot is delicious. We'll see.

This weekend I'm trying pepper and steak from allrecipes.com since I have no cookbook. Yet. And am sticking (for 2 whole days) to my resolution not to eat out.)
