"World Famous" Slow Cooker Meatballs

"World Famous" Slow Cooker Meatballs

“We're not sure if these slow cooker meatballs are world-famous, but they were very popular in our kitchen. First and foremost, they're super easy. Just mix the meatballs, place them in the slow cooker, and let the Crock Pot do its magic. The flavor of the meatballs is delicious with the combination of pork and ground beef. Perfectly seasoned, fresh onions, garlic, and parsley add tons of flavor and make these meatballs taste like something grandma made. These meatballs were delicious alongside a salad and are tasty on spaghetti. But, we loved making meatballs subs with them. Yum!” - Kitchen Crew

Slow Cooker Pork And Beef Roast

Slow Cooker Pork And Beef Roast

“My mother used to cook pork and beef roasts together, and there is nothing like it! You can use any cut of the meats you wish. Because it's being slow-cooked, you don't need the most expensive cuts to achieve a juicy, tender result. Vegetables are up to you. I am sharing what I do, but there's no reason you can't use whatever you love! You can certainly use just beef, just pork, or even chicken... it's a wonderful recipe that will make your mouth water at the scent of it cooking and satisfy your taste buds when you eat it!” - Gail
Buffalo Style Chicken And Rice Soup

Buffalo Style Chicken And Rice Soup

“This healthy and hearty soup combines the same great flavors of Frank's brand hot wings served with carrots and celery with blue cheese dressing (optional). But, this is a less guilty, less messy recipe that you eat with a spoon. It's a cross between Buffalo chicken chili and vegetable & wild rice soup. This great, kitchen-sink-style soup can be easily tweaked to suit your family's particular tastes. Make it thicker or thinner by adjusting the amount of wild rice. It's delicious topped with sour cream, avocado, shredded cheese, tortilla chips, or crumbled blue cheese. Enjoy! Freezes GREAT!” - Julie
Tuna Noodle Casserole

Tuna Noodle Casserole

“This tuna noodle casserole is creamy, savory, and so good. It's a very classic recipe with a few twists. French onion dip adds a unique and super yummy flavor to the casserole. It adds the flavor of onions without the work of dicing them. The cans of cream of mushroom soup and cheese really give this dish a creamy texture. Quick and easy to throw together, this tuna noodle casserole is a great family meal.” - Kitchen Crew

Chicken Apple Sausage One-Pot Dish

Chicken Apple Sausage One-Pot Dish

“So easy and tasty, this one-pot dish is perfect when you want to throw together a quick meal. Chicken apple sausage makes this different from other recipes. It's smoky, sweet, and savory all at once. The sweetness is slight but there. Almost very faint cinnamon which is amazing with the potatoes and cabbage. Everyone is going to ask for seconds.” - Kitchen Crew
