The Best Crock Pot BBQ Chicken

By Leave a Comment

Don’t get me wrong, chicken straight off the BBQ is amazing but right now its raining outside and I’m not too fond of cooking in the rain. I don’t know if you want to put on your rain gear and brave the weather in these winter months but I’d rather put my feet up and watch some TV where its warm. My couch.

So here is a delicious recipe that allows you to not only enjoy some delicious BBQ chicken but stay inside where it’s warm. Give this crock pot recipe a try I’m sure you’ll love it.

Instructions
  1. Start by scrubbing your potatoes well.
  2. Next make small slices into the potato or poke it several times with a fork- all the way around. This allows air to escape while the potato is cooking.
  3. Cut a square of foil large enough to cover each potato separately and completely.
  4. Place all potatoes into a large Tupperware bowl that has a lid and add your garlic, seasonings and olive oil place the lid on and shake thoroughly (it take a lot less time if you do it this way instead of doing it on every individually)
  5. Wrap each potato in it's own foil and place inside the Crock Pot.
  6. Cook on high heat for approximately 3 hours.

Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos

#chicken #dinner

Alright, we make a LOT of different crock pot meals, and all of them are delicious but this has to be my absolute favorite! We have made it three times since the first time we made it and it gets better every time. My little sister came to visit for a long weekend and we made a plan for dinner, but as plans often do, they fell through. So when I was trying to figure out something in a pinch and I remembered how much the hubby and I liked this and we had all of the ingredients in the cupboard and freezer so we made this for my sister and a few friends and it was a huge hit! I was hoping that there would be leftovers but no such luck, it was all gone in a flash!

Cashew Chicken Slow Cooker Dinner

By Leave a Comment

cashew chicken

I originally meant to do this whole week long thing where I posted one freezer meal a day. I was going to call it FREEZER-WEEK-EXTRAORDINAIRE or something equally ridiculous.. But my husband is kind of a goofball and when I said “Before you put each of these in the crock pot when you’re home for lunch make sure you take a picture of the meal inside the bag.” He heard ” Take a picture of some of them.” So instead of a whole week of freezer meal recipes I think I have two.. Oh well! So here it is, Cashew Chicken for dummies. The coolest thing about this dinner was that we had everything in our apartment for this except the rice wine vinegar, so it was really good for our bank account as well as our stomachs!

Chicken Jalapeno Chimichangas|This Is Why I’m Full

My dad loves to make Chimichangas, they are a family favorite! Since the Hubby and I will eventually be starting our own family I decided to turn it up a notch with the next generation’s take on this family classic: Chicken Jalapeno Chimichangas. As I’m sure you know I am CRAZY about jalapeno cream cheese… I use it in/on pretty much everything I make for my wonderful husband and I, so I thought why not add some spice to this super simple dinner!!

Jalapeno Black Bean Chili

Jalapeno Black Bean Chili|This Is Why I’m Full

So I’m pretty excited about this Jalapeno Black Bean Chili, it was the most delicious chili I’ve ever eaten, and that’s saying a lot because my Dad makes some pretty fantastic steak chili! Dan and I were at the grocery store trying to decide what we wanted to make for dinner last week and I suggested chili. We had talked about making chili all winter, he wanted to make it with bear since he got one while hunting last November, but it never worked out to where we were able to get some of the meat from his dad so we gave up.
Anyway, we decided in the middle of the store that chili sounded wonderful and then proceeded to find things to put in chili… Neither of us had ever made chili before so it sounded like a fun experience! As we were walking around trying to figure out what goes in chili other than ground beef, beans, and seasonings I found black beans with jalapenos and I grabbed some and from that point it was pretty much decided that this wasn’t going to be like any chili my dad would make.
I grabbed the other stuff we ended up putting into our chili and the rest is history! We made it on a Saturday, and even though it was almost 100 degrees outside it turned out amazing! I was so proud of my Husband and I, it had just the right amount of heat and the sour cream we put in it made it even better!

Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup|This Is Why I’m Full

Until I made this Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup I had never actually had tortilla soup, and this was a really good choice! As always I took about three different recipes and put them all together into something that sounded amazing! After this sat in the Crock Pot all day our whole apartment smelled amazing! When we made it I decided to use the tomato halves and I still think that I made a fantastic choice. We strained all of the tomatoes out of the Crock Pot and put them into our food processor and added some flour to thicken it up and it was so good! We froze the half that we didn’t eat and ate it the next week and I wish that we had made more because it was fantastic! Please leave comments and suggestions below and enjoy!

Simple Crock Pot Meatloaf|This Is Why I’m Full

The traditional way of making meat loaf is a long and slow process. What better way to make it than a Simple Crock Pot Meatloaf? The idea seems to go hand in hand, but I haven’t seen many recipes for this method, until now. Making a Simple Crock Pot Meatloaf is amazingly… Well, simple!

Better yet, the low heat produced by the slow cooker wont heat your house up! You know what that means, meat loaf in summer while staying cool. I’ve done this before and it’s amazing. I love meat loaf and hate sweating in my own home. No more baking for hours at 350* plus its just so amazing I can’t get over it.

Not to mention this Simple Crock Pot Meatloaf recipe will have everyone up in arms about how amazing it tastes, and how well it stays together. A nice dense and delicious meat loaf you can modify to fit your exact needs.

As we all have seen I like to add bacon to my recipes, and this is no exception. Bacon meat loaf is as delicious as it sounds, and you should try it too.
