I know it’s back to school for so many everywhere and if it isn’t happening right now it’s coming! The first coupl of weeks are exhausting for everyone. Oh and the kids fall asleep early if you’re lucky. Here are some of my favorite crock pot recipes to help out. Easy, fast and ready right when the kiddos get home if needed.
Have an amazing back to school year! You’ve got this!
Sloppy Joe, slop sloppy Joes. This summer it’s all about turning off the oven and trying to stay cool. This recipe is sure to hit a home run for families. It’s easy and good and good. Perfect for Fourth of July and a big crowd!
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 stick of Velveeta
Hamburger buns
choice of condiments
1 whole onion chopped/diced
Garlic Powder
Set out that crockpot. Brown your ground beef and cook onions together in a skillet-drain off excess grease. Pour your ground beef mixture into your crockpot and add a dash of garlic powder. Cube your Velveeta and add on top pf your ground beef mixture. At this time you can add 2 tablespoons of ketchup, mustard, relish etc… I choose to not add these in the crockpot so people can add what they choose once the mixture is complete. Cook on low for 30 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally. Serve on buns with condiments.
I would say these roughly make about 8-10 burgers so double as you see fit. These were sooo good! I used a small block of Velveeta so there wasn’t a ton of cheese but I think I could have easily used half of that. Happy Fourth and stay cool!
It’s summertime! It’s S’mores time. My senior year in high school the summer after we graduated my friend Beckie and I literally made s’mores almost nightly at her parents house in the backyard with a mini bonfire. I would drive my car into the next town and every night we would roast and eat. I loved it. I love s’mores so much I have an entire Pinterest board full of s’mores recipes. I love trying new recipes out although I have to admit I almost always alter them…I may have a control issue.
S’mores Crockpot Cake
1 Box of chocolate cake mix
ingredients listed on your cake mix box
1 Box of graham crackers
1 Bag of Mini Marshmallows
1 cup of Chocolate Chips
Spray the inside if your crock pot with cooking spray. In a bowl mix the wet ingredients on your cake mix box with your cake mix box dry ingredients. Poor mix into crockpot. Add two layers of graham crackers-whole- on top of the cake mix,sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the graham crackers, and add a layer of marshmallows covering the chocolate chips-I would be liberal with the mallows-the more the merrier.
Cook on low for 2.5-3 hours! The best kind of summer cooking is crock pot-no heat in your kitchen!
This was awesome and Row loved helping by throwing things in the crock. This cake would also taste great over ice cream. What’s you favorite summer treat?
