Pepper Steak Crock Pot

Pepper Steak

This is delicious. I couldn't believe it the first time I made it. Even my toddler eats it up and asks for seconds (she also calls is sketti, so maybe she's not the best reference LOL) This is truly the easiest way to make pepper steak. There's a little bit of prep work involved, but it's easy too. Just takes some planning.

Here is how I do it:

Take 1 1/2-2 lbs. beef round steak, cut in 3" x 1" strips (against the grain). Lightly brown this beef in 2 T. oil in saucepan and transfer to a 5 quart crock pot.

Combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 garlic clove, 1 cup of chopped onions, 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (sometimes I use 1/2 t. or more because we love ginger) in a small bowl. Stir and pour this mixture over the meat. Cover and cook on low 5-6 hours.

Cut 2 large green bell peppers (or colored bell peppers work too) in strips. Place in a zip lock bag and put in fridge until later.

Now dice two cups of tomatoes or use a 16 ounce can diced tomatoes (I add can diced tomatoes with garlic or onions for more flavor sometimes) and set to the side for later.

At the 5 hour mark add peppers and tomatoes to meat in crockpot and cook mixture 1 hour longer.

After an hour if the mixture is too soupy combine 1/2 cup water and 1 tablespoon of corn starch to make a paste. Stir into crockpot and cook on high until thickened (about 10 minutes).

Serve over rice (or noodles if prefered

Breakfast Cobbler Crock Pot

Breakfast Cobbler

This is one of the easiest crock pot breakfast cobbler recipes ever! We have it in our house quite often (after all, there's nothin' like waking up to the smell of cooking apples).

-4 medium size apples peeled and sliced (granny smith are my favorite to use, but any will work)

-1/4 cup honey

-1 tsp cinnamon

-2 tblsp melted butter

-2 cups granola cereal

Directions:

Spray a 2 quart crock pot with PAM non-stick spray. Place the sliced apples in crockpot and in a small bowl mix the remaining ingredients together. Top the apples with the cereal mixture in as even a layer as possible. Cover and cook on low 7-9 hours (overnight) or on high 3 1/2 - 4 hours. Serve with milk

Cheesy Chicken and Stuffing Crock Pot

Cheesy Chicken and Stuffing

This is a great one pot wonder meal. Every now and then (when I'm not in a hurry) I'll make some green beans or broccoli to go with it. Most times we just eat the crock pot chicken and stuffing (that's because most of the time we're eating so late to begin with).

This is how I do it:

Spray the inside of a 3 - 5 quart crock pot with PAM non stick spray.

Add 4 chicken breast in a single layer (or as close to a single layer as possible).

Now add 1 1/2 - 2 cups of shredded cheese (I used swiss, but whatever you have will work) in an even layer.

Now, in an even layer, add 1 - 10 1/2 ounce can of cream of celery (or mushroom, or chicken, or whatever you have on hand) soup. Remember to spread it to make it an even layer.

Sprinkle an entire 6 ounce box of StoveTop Stuffing (whatever flavor you like) on top of the soup.

Cook on low for 5 - 6 hours or on high for 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Goes great with any green vegetable as a side dish (we had steamed broccoli because it is our favorite).

*NOTE* Remember, lean cuts of meat that have little to no fat will dry out quickly if cooked too long. Be careful not to overcook when using chicken breasts

Beans and Weenies Crock Pot

Beans and Weenies

Crock pot beans and weenies is one of the easiest (and kid pleasing) crock pot meals I've ever cooked. Now that the weather has cooled off, this is one of those warm, comforting crock pot meals that we LOVE on breezy evenings when there's that crispness to the air.

Here is how I do it:

- 5 1/2 cups of cooked pinto beans (or 3 - 15 ounce cans)

- 1 - 16 ounce package of your favorite hot dogs, sliced

- 1 large onion, chopped

- 1/4 cup of ketchup

- 3 Tablespoons of prepared yellow mustard

- 2 teaspoons of worcestershire sauce

- 1/2 cup of brown sugar (light or dark will work), packed

- 4 cooked bacon strips, chopped or crumbled

Dump all ingredients in a 2 1/2 - 3 quart crock pot. Mix to incorporate. Cook on high for 3 - 4 hours or on low for 6 - 8 hours. 

*TIP* This is a perfect recipe to use any leftover crock pot pinto beans in. Not to mention it's a very budget friendly recipe too.
