Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie
I love, love, love, love my slow cooker. I love that I can put the ingredients in the crock in the morning and by dinner time I have this delicious dish. Everyone came in the house this evening and commented on how wonderful dinner smelled. If you are not using your slow cooker at least…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken with Loaded Tater Tots
Happy Valentine’s Day! From the frying pan into the fire. We are always busy but on the day after we got home from vacation my daughter had a choir concert. I needed to have dinner ready to go and be able to serve it to three different people at three different times. We usually don’t…
Slow Cooker Smothered Boneless Pork Chops
We all eat dinner together just about every night. Four to five nights each week we eat at the table and then the other two are usually our “To-Go” meals in the car. I am trying to instill good table manners such as please, thank you, please pass the … , use your fork and…
Slow Cooker Pork and Tomato Stew
This is another attempt to add more vegetables to our meals. I took out pork loin boneless chops the other day and when I went to search for a recipe nothing was particularly inspiring to me. That my children will tell you is dangerous as it means I will start creating something on my own….
Trisha Yearwood’s Slow Cooker Pork Loin
I pinned this recipe for Trisha Yearwood’s Slow Cooker Pork Loin from Bo’s Bowl.com a few weeks ago. I was waiting for the night that someone pulled pork loin from the freezer for dinner. Last night was the night. Verdict: The pork loin was okay but a bit ordinary. The gravy is the reason to…
Slow Cooker Bottom Round Steak
So last night’s dinner was not a casserole. I found a really great deal on Bottom Round Steak at the local grocery store that I just could not pass up. When I got it home I realized I had no idea how to cook it. It was about 2 1/2″ thick and had a fairly…
Slow Cooker German Style Beef Roast
I had another beef roast in the freezer. The first thing I thought was “Oh no, not again.” It seems we have a beef roast lately at least once a week and I was running out of ideas of what to do with it to make into a different meal for my family. Well, back…
Slow Cooker Chinese Pork and Broccoli
I am working on cleaning out our freezers for the big Thanksgiving/Christmas baking season. I have pretty much cleaned out the refrigerator of all the stray items but still need to work on the freezer. I had four fairly large thick pork chops that I found in my freezer that needed to be used. I…
Slow Cooker Hungarian Goulash
My slow cooker has been working over time lately. I love that I can put a bunch of stuff in it early in the morning and then not have to think about dinner until I come home or I am getting the kids ready for our to go meals. I found this recipe on Pinterest…
Balsamic Onion Slow Cooker Roast
Last night being Halloween I wanted something extra easy to have for dinner. This was it! I took our favorite flavors and blended them with a beef roast in the slow cooker. I only had to add mashed potatoes and carrots for our comfort food dinner before heading out on the spooky, cold evening. Verdict:…
Slow Cooker Easy Barbecue Pork Ribs
We spent the weekend doing family stuff. My daughter looked at me and asked, “Is Saturday Family Day now?” I LOVED that! For so long Saturday has been our catch-up day. All the laundry, cleaning or shopping that we didn’t get done during the week was always left for Saturday. Now, we have time to…
