Crockpot BabyBack Ribs

March 9, 2016 By: Skaalcomment

Who doesn’t love ribs? There is a place by me in Connecticut that’s amazing! I love their BBQ but sometimes you want to make something at home or don’t feel like eating out. It took me awhile to make ribs at home, for a long time I just couldn’t get them right. They would be greasy or stringy and just…..well they just weren’t good. So I thought about it and realized I was making things way too complicated. I was adding too many ingredients and just stressing too much about it. This method is so simple but it makes ribs that are so delicious! I used Yuengling BBQ sauce which is amazing on it’s own and just let them do their thing in the crockpot. The results were perfection! [Read more…]

Crockpot Macaroni and Cheese

February 10, 2016 By: Skaal4 Comments

Who doesn’t love macaroni and cheese? I can’t fathom it so I made up a version in the crockpot that’s super easy to make and absolutely delicious! All you have to do is cook the pasta. Now I spent a long time being very picky about my M&C, I love the Stouffer’s version! There was a time where I could have lived on it. 5 minutes in a microwave and I was in creamy, cheese goodness! But I love trying new things so I wanted to try my hand at homemade stuff. My Baked Macaroni and Cheese always comes out delicious and this does too! If you are looking to put a little kick in this, you can replace the Havarti with some Pepper Jack cheese slices. [Read more…]

Crockpot Mashed Potatoes

January 17, 2016 By: Skaal1 Comment

My love of mashed potatoes is pretty big. But, as you can see by my Perfect Mashed Potatoes recipe, the prep work for homemade mashed potatoes is a little time intensive. I loved making these because they are insanely easy. This is perfect if you don’t want to peel potatoes as you just add the potatoes as is. I actually recommend doing that because the skins gave the potatoes this awesome texture. This is a perfect side dish for a long roast as it slow cooks in the crockpot and just needs to be mashed up and it’s ready to go! [Read more…]

Steak is always a favorite around here but I wanted to switch it up. These are easy to make and come out nice and tender since they are made in the crockpot. A great thing to make when you don’t have a lot of time for prep. The sauce helps tenderize the meat very well and they taste great with some mashed potatoes. [Read more…]

Baked Potato Soup

I love potatoes. I don’t know if it’s because I’m Irish or if it’s just because they are amazing, but if we had another potato famine, I would definitely feel the pain. One of my favorite potato dishes is baked potatoes so when I saw this recipe for Baked Potato Soup, I decided to try it out. I made a few changes but I think they made it all the better. I made this in the Crockpot so it was very easy to prep and it came out delicious. A perfect meal for a chilly day! [Read more…]

BBQ Beef Brisket

It’s been a crazy busy last few weeks! I started a new job and this never ending winter has been sucking my energy levels. But I have been working on some new recipes. I got inspired by this great BBQ brisket recipe from A Family Feast (see here). I tweaked it slightly and made it one Saturday in the crock pot. It came out fantastic, so good in fact that I had to kick my husband out of the kitchen because he kept sneaking bites. I felt like the mom in “A Christmas Story” with the turkey. I learned two things: one, I will be making this again and two, I need to buy a bigger brisket because 2 pounds wasn’t enough! This has become a new favorite around my house, even my toddlers eat it up. [Read more…]
