I printed this off the web so many years ago, that I can’t remember where it came from exactly. Everything gets tossed in the slow cooker together. Super easy. I love a good crockpot meal!
Here’s what you’ll need:

Round Steak with Vegetable Gravy in the Slow Cooker
I found this recipe stuck in my tattered recipe binder, jotted on a calendar page from 1998. I used to make it quite a bit, but somehow forgot about it. I’m glad that I found it again, because it’s really easy and good. [Read more…] about Round Steak with Vegetable Gravy in the Slow Cooker
Mandarin Chicken Rice Bake
More-with-Less is one of my favorite cookbooks. It’s full of simple, delicious and economical recipes and this casserole is one of them. This is a perfect recipe to use chicken that you’ve already cooked and frozen. Once the chicken is cooked the dish is a snap to put together. [Read more…] about Mandarin Chicken Rice Bake
Camarones Con Arroz – Shrimp with Rice
I had a fear of raw shrimp.
All those specifications – deveined, tail-on, tail-off – a little too creepy!
But, I’m happy to say I’ve conquered my fear with this recipe. It was easy and delicious, which is everything I hope for in a dish.
Chicken Fiesta with Black Beans – a crockpot recipe
You’ll be declared “Best Cook” for making this dish and you’ll love yourself too for how easy it is. It’s a great feeling to have dinner all cooked in the crockpot when you get home after a long day, or just to know it’s finished and you’re free during that time before dinner when little ones get very needy.
This has been a go-to recipe for my family for years. We make it often at home. It also makes an appearance on vacation. Since we rent houses and travel with extended family, it makes sense to take food with us and save on the restaurant costs. This recipe is easy to throw together in the morning. We use a crockpot liner when vacationing so we can skip the scrubbing after dinner.
I usually serve Chicken Fiesta in tortillas, but it’s also really good over cornbread. If you’re in a hurry, check out this 15 Minute Skillet Chicken Fiesta. All of the flavor of the original, but much faster!
