I love baked potatoes! Especially Crockpot Baked Potatoes! They are an easy side dish that can be filled with anything! Sometimes though, they can hold up your dinner if they don’t cook long enough in the oven. If you want to take that worry away, you can make them right in your crockpot! They come out soft and delicious and you don’t have to worry about timing them around your main course. You let them slow cook away and they will be ready just in time. They will also save you on oven space since these will be cooked elsewhere. All you need to get ready is all of your favorite toppings, you can watch the butter and cheese melt right in and your ready to eat! [Read more…]

Pineapple Salsa Chicken
I love coming up with different ways to make chicken. It can get boring if you have a chicken heavy diet without variety to there are tons of recipes here that can get you out of that rut. Like Pineapple Salsa Chicken! Pineapple in salsa is a great combination, the sweetness of the fruit helps counteract the spiciness of the salsa so it makes for a really delicious mix of flavors! This meal gets slow cooked in the crockpot so you can prep it and then get other things done while this simmers away for you. If you can’t handle a lot of spice you can take out the jalapeño or the chili powder to tone down the heat for you. [Read more…]

Crockpot Philly Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwiches
Now that fall is here, my crockpot is getting used more and more. This is a great recipe to make for a busy day or if you are feeding a group and want something nice and easy. You can make this for Sunday football and have it ready by the 4 pm game with no problems! I used provolone for the cheese but you can absolutely mix it up and use something different if you want. Some American, Sliced Pepper Jack or some sharp cheddar would all work well with this! I cut right into the middle of the roll to make a little sandwich boat, which helped hold all the yummy goodness inside. [Read more…]
