Ingredients:

FOR THE MEATLOAF:

1.5 lbs (80% to 85%) lean ground beef

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

(1) small yellow onion, shredded

(3) cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp Italian Seasoning

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

1/2 tsp ground mustard

FOR THE GLAZE:

1/3 cup barbecue sauce

2 tbsp sugar-free ketchup

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp Sriracha sauce

chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions:

Cover a 6-quart slow cooker (or larger slow cooker) with a large aluminum foil board. Grease with cooking spray and set aside.

Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onions, garlic, Italian spices, salt, pepper, ground mustard, butter, cream, and Worcestershire sauce into a large mixing cup. Mix until combined with your hands, but do NOT overmix.

Split meat into half.

Press half the meat to the bottom of the slow cooker.

by Rebecca March 24, 2020
written by Rebecca

This Slow Cooker Jambalaya is a great way to use less effort to make this New Orleans favorite! This recipe consists of a lot of seasonings, smoked sausages, and uncooked rice.

Doing this in a slow cooker makes the cooking much simpler! When assembling the recipe, there are a few things to watch out for, if you follow the tips below, leaving only with a great jambalaya, which will surely please a crowd on a chilly winter day. Enjoy this casserole with your family and friends.

Slow Cooker Jambalaya Recipe

Slow Cooker Jambalaya Recipe

Ingredients:

(2) large celery stalks, diced

(1) small onion, diced

(4) cloves garlic, minced

(1) green bell pepper, diced

(1) red bell pepper, diced

16 ounces smoked sausage, chopped

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tbsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tbsp freshly ground black pepper

2 (15 oz) canned diced tomatoes

1/2 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped

2 cup vegetable broth

2 cups uncooked white rice

Directions:

Put all ingredients to Save the uncooked white rice into a slow cooker.

Stir it all together. Place the lid on the slow cooking pot and cook for 3-4 hours on high. At this point, the liquid should be boiling up.

Stir uncooked rice in a slow cooker, very quickly. Quickly cover with a lid and keep cooking on top for another 20 to 25 minutes until you cook the rice or consume the most of the liquid.

Serve hot with some hot sauce and freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy it.

Tip:

I used some tomato flavoring with both diced tomatoes and tomato paste. I’m using the vegetable broth. You substitute the liquid with chicken broth, but I like the deeper flavor that the vegetable broth offers.

Always check the consistency and the taste of your casserole.

CROCK POT CHEESE BEEF MAC CASSEROLE

by Rebecca March 24, 2020
written by Rebecca

This Crockpot Cheese Beef Mac Casserole is easy to put together, but it has a great taste. A simple, delicious, slow cooker’s bowl, and macaroni, a family food for a hectic week, it’s good food. The macaroni is cooked near the end of the cooking period and added to the pot. This meal has many delicious kinds of cheese that take the macaroni to the next point. With more cheese, you really can’t go wrong, and this recipe is full of flavor. I made numerous times of this recipe, and it didn’t disappoint me, not even once. And my favorite? Instant bowl, you can throw anything. And I mean, the entire thing, even the uncooked pasta. You just got to lift your finger here, at least. When anyone asks me on which dish to prepare for a busy day, I’ll certainly recommend this dish.

With hardly any effort, you can fast get dinner at the table. The meal is so much to love. The flavor is a delicious pasta recipe that is fantastic and has everything you love about tacos.

Taco Pasta Recipe

Taco Pasta Recipe

Ingredients:

1 lb lean ground beef

salt and pepper

(1) bell pepper chopped

15 ounce can crushed tomatoes

1 cup jarred salsa I used mild

15 ounce can corn drained

3 tbsp taco seasoning

2 ½ c water, you can use low sodium chicken broth

2 ½ cups chicken broth and enough water

12 ounces shell pasta shapes whole grain or white

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

Over a medium to high heat, heat a skillet. Add the beef, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the meat until it browns, stirring regularly, transfer beef into the slow cooker.

Add and stir in the bell pepper, crushed tomatoes, salsa, corn, taco seasoning, and broth or water.

Cook on low for 5-6 hours, or at high for 2-3 hours.

Stir the pasta in, cook 10-20 minutes up on high. Cooking time for pasta can changes with a slow cooker, start testing for doneness at 10 minutes.

Stir the cheddar cheese and serve.

Tips:

You can do this easily with shredded or ground chicken if you prefer just to leave the meat out. Also, if you want to make it vegetarian, it still has outstanding taste. The use of salsa in place of the diced tomatoes is another good substitution. I enjoy replacing salsa in a lot of recipes that include a can of diced tomatoes. If you’re able to enjoy a spicier dish, a spicy salsa produces this recipe perfect for you.

SLOW COOKER PINEAPPLE BARBECUE MEATBALLS

by Rebecca March 24, 2020
written by Rebecca

This crockpot that I’ve got for Christmas last year has become my superman for lazy and tired nights. Like lately, I’ve always found myself tired for working too much so I don’t have the energy anymore to cook dinner. So what I’ll do is to toss everything in the crockpot and relax. Although, before I was so intimidated by crackpots, I thought it’s just too good to be true. But when I tried it I instantly fell in love! And I can still remember the first dish that I cooked. So this recipe is as you already know is so easy to prepare but again since we are cooking it in a crockpot you have to wait for two hours. But trust me it’ll be worth it. I was skeptical the first time too. This pineapple barbecue meatballs has become my family’s favorite. It’s sweet, tangy, and deliciously addicting. The ingredients are simple, you might already have them lying in your fridge or pantry. And what I love most in crockpot recipes is you just have to put the ingredients together and leave them alone. Before you know it dinner is ready. Amazing right?

Tips:

Replace ground beef with ground turkey, or add half sausage.

If you have any vegetables in the refrigerator that you would like to use, just chop them up with the meat and throw them in.

For this recipe, every type of rice works well. I used white, brown, and even cauliflower rice.

Change the seasonings so that the meal changes and make them delicious Mexican Stuffed Peppers.

It is necessary to ensure that your rice is slightly undercooked before it enters the slow cooker so that it does not turn mushy.

Notes

It’s important to use lean ground beef as you don’t want too much fat in the slow cooker. If you can’t get your hands on some lean ground beef, then brown and drain it before mixing with the other ingredients. Using uncooked rice in the beef mixture may lead to the rice not cooking correctly. Uncooked rice will be hard and not appetizing at all. When you pour in the beef stock or marinara sauce, make sure you don't get any inside the bell peppers. It can make them get very sloppy.

Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

(2 – 3) boneless chicken breasts frozen (no need to thaw)

(1) can Cream of Chicken Soup

1 cup Milk

(1/2) onion chopped

(3-4) potatoes, peeled and diced

(1) 16 oz bag of frozen mixed vegetables

1/2 cup chopped celery

Salt and Pepper to taste

1 tsp Garlic powder

1/4 tsp Poultry Seasoning

Directions:

Place everything except the biscuits into the crockpot.

Cook on low for the entire day.

Remove Shred and Chicken. Fill in the crockpot again and stir to combine.

Bake the biscuits and add it in the bowl, serve.

Tips:

Frozen veggies, make you ready for quick preparation, you can also use fresh ones.

Dairy (milk) doesn’t always hold well in the slow cooker, so in this recipe, I used condensed soup (it also makes quick preparation). Add and use heavy cream that is added towards the end of the cooking when making a homemade sauce (and thicken with a cornstarch slurry if needed).

Now, use Crockpot trays if you want to save even more time for yourself. They make a breeze to clean up. You can just toss the liner, instead of scrubbing and washing the pot. There is practically no washing up.
