Looking for a lower carb meal? This recipe for Slow Cooker Bacon and Beef Chili has the same great chili flavors but with less carbs. Hi all! I hope you are all doing well.

It seems to be the only diet that works for me, and well the only diet I can stick too. To make this chili lower in carbs I had to really think about every ingredient. I thought red onion had less ...

Slow Cooker Buffalo Ranch Drumsticks
Slow Cooker Buffalo Ranch Chicken Drumsticks are a spicy dinner that I can't get enough of! Buffalo wings are one of my top 10 favorite foods and probably always will be. This recipe uses skinless drumsticks mostly because I don't have to worry about browning the skin and it keeps the sauce from getting greasy. I add a touch of cayenne for more heat and also minced garlic. Taking the skin off the drumsticks takes a bit of work, but once you get the rhythm down it's no problem. I start by ...
Slow Cooker Party Potatoes
Slow Cooker Party Potatoes are a delicious casserole side dish that has amazing flavor! Have you ever had a week where everything goes wrong? I rarely do, but this last week was the most exhausting I've ever had. I had no idea when I'd muster enough energy to get this recipe out. Today though I shouldn't be working, I'm feeling better enough to work. I enjoy making these recipes posts and feel horrible I've been absent. This recipe is a an older recipe, I've made variations of it before, ...
Slow Cooker Chile Verde
Slow Cooker Chile Verde is spicy tender pork, wonderful just wrapped in a tortilla! My dad's been here often visiting from California, so I know his eating habits well. He's always ordering chile verde when we go out for Mexican (and fish and chips EVERYWHERE else). Maybe I've been blind my whole life, but I've never acknowledged chile verde on menus until recently. It's very spicy and flavorful, and great on tortillas, doesn't even need toppings. I tested out this recipe so I'll be ready ...
Slow Cooker Chili Cheese Casserole
Slow Cooker Chili Cheese Casserole is everything comfort food should be! This is one of those throw it together comfort meals that is great for game day or even a quick dinner. Fritos and chili are a match made in heaven. I didn't know how the Fritos would do on the bottom of this, I was hoping for the best. I found that Fritos soaked up some of the chili and even browned some along the bottom edges. My inspiration for this recipe came from an old cookbook I got from woman off a Facebook ...
Slow Cooker Peachy Barbecue Ribs
Slow Cooker Peachy Barbecue Ribs are sweet but still tangy, great over mashed potatoes. It's May, so that means I can start with the barbecue inspired recipes. I am getting better at grilling but I still prefer using the slow cooker in the summer. Meals like this are easy to throw in the crock pot early in the day and then make a few sides for when dinner is ready. We usually eat outside after swimming, we recently got one of those above ground pools. Last summer the pool never warmed up, but ...
Slow Cooker Banana Nut Cake
Banana Cake in the slow cooker? YES! This Slow Cooker Banana Nut Cake is moist and dense and is topped with cream cheese frosting. Over on my YouTube channel I had a few requests to make more desserts, and of course I had to make time this week for a new dessert recipe. This cake turned out amazing!! The slow cooker cooked it perfectly, the cake rose nice and tall but still had a moist dense texture. I let the cake cool, then made a homemade cream cheese frosting. Let me tell you it was very ...

I was mind blown when I saw it the other day when I was searching around for recipe ideas. This recipe is based on my classic Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore recipe, which I use boneless skinless chicken thighs in that recipe. My recipe is based on my mom's recipe. I did brown the chops for this recipe, some say browning the meat adds ...
Slow Cooker Queso Verde
Make an entire pot of this Slow Cooker Queso Verde for your next party! I've tried to make this Slow Cooker Queso Verde for months. Finding white Velveeta cheese was not easy. After searching every store in town, I found out that Walmart is the only store in my area to carry it. I order queso dip at every Mexican restaurant I can find, and get a little upset when it isn't offered. This recipe makes a huge batch, so invite all your friends over! When I make cheese dip with Velveeta, I do ...
Slow Cooker Steak and Potato Soup
Slow Cooker Steak and Potato Soup is hearty and comforting! This recipe for Slow Cooker Steak and Potato soup is pure comfort food. I had the idea to do steak and potato soup, a stick to your ribs, hearty man meal. I was researching other recipes and most of them looked like standard beef stew, but soupy. I did not go the beef stew route for my recipe. You do not have to use an expensive cut of steak for this recipe, in fact I used a cheap stew meat for this! I had planned add corn to this ...
