Crockpot Stuffed Peppers

I have an awesome new recipe for you guys to try! If you like stuffed peppers then you have to try these! I promise you will fall in love with them and never heat your house up by making them again. All you have to turn is turn your crockpot on, sit back and relax.

Crockpot Stuffed Peppers

4 large green peppers
1 pd ground beef ( you may need a little more depending how big your peppers are)
1 onion, chopped ( or if you are lazy like me just use onion flakes)
one egg, beaten
one can tomato sauce
1 cup water
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 pkg of Spanish rice ( I used the Lipton kind that is in the bag)

Cut tops of peppers and clean out the inside. In a large bowl mix the ground beef, onion, egg, Spanish rice, tomato sauce and water. Fill peppers. It may be a little runny and that is okay.

In crockpot , dump the can of diced tomatoes on the bottom. Set stuffed peppers on top. Cook on low around 6-8 hrs.

Crockpot Turkey Breast

Kroger had turkey breasts on sale the other week so I picked up one with the plan to stick it in the crockpot ( it is way to hot here to stick it in the oven!) and use leftovers for the rest of the week. The turkey turned out so moist and had a wonderful taste to it. I am sure if you try it you will love it to!


Crockpot Turkey Breast

6-7 pd turkey breast
2 cups chicken broth
1 stick butter
onion flakes
celery flakes
Italian seasoning
parsley

Place turkey in crockpot. Pat dry and then add remaining ingredients.

Cook on low all day

Eat and enjoy!

Sunday Chicken Dinner ( Crockpot)

I was going through my cookbooks the other day and came across this recipe. I had carrots and potatoes that I needed to use up and since it is a crockpot recipe it didn't heat up my house. If you are like me you don't want to turn your oven on for a couple of hours in the middle of summer. Luckily here in Indiana it hasn't been to bad so far but I think it is because we have had so much rain!

Sunday Chicken Supper

4 med. carrots, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 med. onion, chopped
1 celery rib, cut into 2 inch pieces
2 cups of green beans
3 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 cups of hot water
2 tsp chicken bouillon granules
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp basil
( I also added in fresh corn that I had cut off from us eating corn on the cob a previous night)

Layer first 7 ingredients ( and corn if you want). Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl. Pour over top. Cook on low 6-8 hours.

If you haven't noticed I have been a mood to try some new recipes! That can be a good or bad thing, but luckily it has been good so far. Luckily everything has turned out and we have all liked it. Today I made a new recipe called Terayki Pork. It has been cooking in the crockpot all day and my house smells wonderful. It is simple to make but does take quite awhile to cook so make suer you get it on early in the morning.

Terayki Pork

• Put a 4 pound pork roast in the crockpot.
• Mix 1 cup soy sauce, 1 cup pineapple juice and 2 cups sugar in a small saucepan. Heat until it makes a smooth sauce.

Whatever Wednesday ( Slow Cooker Chicken Goulash)

I have been on the hunt for recipes that use diced tomatoes. I still have a freezer full of homemade diced tomatoes that I made last summer that I am trying to use up. I looked on pinterest and came across this recipe. It is called slow cooker chicken goulash and it turned out to be really yummy!
Here is the recipe for you!

Slow Cooker Chicken Goulash

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 Tablespoons of olive oil

1 large yellow onion, sliced

1 sweet red bell pepper, chopped

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped finely

3 large cloves of garlic

1 Tablespoon of paprika

(1) 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes (diced or stewed would work too)

1/4 cup of red wine vinegar

1 Tablespoon of brown sugar (light or dark should be fine, whatever you have on hand)

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of ground black pepper

 

 In a medium sized skillet heat the olive over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent and tender.

 

Add to crock pot. Now add the bell pepper, jalapeno pepper and garlic cloves to the pan. Cook until soft and tender. Add to crock pot.

Add the remaining ingredients to the crock pot and stir to slightly incorporate.

 

Cook on low for 5 - 6 hours or on high for 2.5 - 3 hours. Once the chicken breasts are cooked thoroughly remove them from the crock pot and shred them using two forks.

 

Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir to mix  it in with the other ingredients. If you find that this is too runny for your liking, mix in a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste to thicken it up.

Pork Tacos

I went to Kroger the other day and they had a pork butt roast on clearance so I picked it up not knowing what I was going to do with it. The next day I decided to make it and make pork tacos with it.
I put the pork in the crockpot with a jar of salsa and a package of taco seasoning. Add the amount of water on the taco seasoning packet. Mix up well and cook on low all day. When ready to eat, shred pork with 2 forks. Serve on tortillas with your favorite toppings.

My husband brought home some meat from work the other day for me ( he is the meat manager at Kroger) and one of the things he got was a roast. I  like roasts but I get tired of fixing them with carrots and potatoes. I decided to do something different with it and I am glad I did. It was wonderful!
