Beef stew typically needs to cook "low and slow," simmering on the stovetop for hours to result in tender, flavorful meat. I've got a shortcut for you with this recipe! You can cut down your cooking time significantly by using a tender cut of meat, such as beef round steak or sirloin, instead of pre-packaged stew meat, to achieve that same melt-in-your-mouth beef stew in about an hour. Quick beef stew IS possible!
Corned Beef and Cabbage is a favorite of mine and it’s a tradition on St. Patrick's Day! Here's a simple CrockPot recipe for this holiday meal.
Chili is the answer to so many questions: Planning a game-day bash? Cooking an informal dinner for a large group? Need an easy one-pot weeknight meal?
There are tons of chili variations, but my favorite is a classic chili with meat and beans in a spicy tomato sauce. This one is my go-to chili recipe, made with lean ground turkey (or ground beef), kidney beans, pinto beans, tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, jalapeno, and the perfect blend of spices. I love serving chili buffet-style. Set out some bowls with shredded cheddar cheese, low fat sour cream, chopped fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, sliced olives, chopped green onions, and corn tortillas, and everyone can load up their chili with their favorite toppings. Beef Enchilada Dip - a warm, meaty, cheesy, and delicious dip that makes for a great crowd-pleasing appetizer. It's super easy to make, and if you're preparing the dip for a party you can do most of the work ahead of time by cooking the meat and assembling the dish, and then just heat it in the oven a few minutes before serving.
We've all heard about cake pops, which is an ingenious idea, so why not create a savory pop with taco filling? I brought these taco pops to a holiday party last weekend, and they were completely gone within an hour. Who can resist a taco on a stick? These little appetizers are so easy to make- all you need is crescent dough, taco meat, and a few taco-style fixings like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole to serve on the side. They also make for a fun snack, or you could throw a few of them into a salad to serve as a meal.
Brisket is so easy to prepare – if you do it right. The keys to success are to cook it at a low temperature, for many, many hours, and to keep the meat tightly covered so that it doesn’t dry out. If brisket is not cooked long enough, the tough connective tissues found throughout the meat will not break down and the result will be dry, chewy brisket. That’s why I always use my crockpot to prepare this meal; it’s a foolproof way to yield fork tender, flavorful, juicy brisket every single time. When I made my very first brisket, I looked at a ton of recipes trying to decide what ingredients I wanted to use to flavor the meat and create the sauce. This recipe is what I came up with, and it’s the same one I use every year. I love this recipe because it’s both sweet and savory. The cooking liquid turns into the most delicious glaze, so when you slice the meat, make sure to drag each piece through the sauce. For Hanukkah, I’ll serve it with potato latkes and green beans, and it’s the perfect holiday meal.
Your slow cooker makes this beef stroganoff recipe so delicious and easy. Throw everything together in the crockpot, and a few hours later you've got fork-tender beef in a creamy golden mushroom sauce ready to eat.
This casserole recipe, made with ground meat, beans, and a sweetened tomato sauce, is one that was given to me years ago from a friend, and I have continued to make it over and over, no matter what season it is. It is especially delicious in the cooler months, and I have included stovetop, oven, and crockpot directions to suit whichever cooking method you prefer.
