2 apples, peeled, cored and diced
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla

CROCK POT MEXICAN BEEF
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Line your crock pot (liners are in the aisle where foil and oven roasting bags are)
Starting out-- Turn your crock up to high or low then--> add the following to your crock:
1 Cup of your favorite salsa-- 1/2 of a 32 oz box of beef stock-- 2 beef boullion cubes
2 packets taco seasoning-- 1 Tbs chili powder-- 1 Tbs ground cumin
Stir to blend then add in: 2 lbs beef stew meat-- Stir to coat-- Put the lid on your crock and NO PEEKING for 4- 6hrs on high or 8hrs on low.
Your house will smell AMAZING!
NEXT-- this is what I do-- I get a bowl and a slotted spoon and get all the meat out of the liquid. Half of it I put in a ziploc freezer bag and freeze for another use. NOW-- you're left with lots and of really flavorful liquid.
Add-- 1 1/2 Cups of instant brown rice to the pot-- stir it up-- cover and let it hang for 20 minutes.
Once the rice is done-- add the meat back along with: 1 can rinsed black beans, 1/2 Cup thawed frozen sweet corn, 1/2 Cup more of Salsa (for a fresher salsa taste) Stir it all up and taste to see if it needs salt or maybe some tobasco.
NOW-- lemmie tell ya-- this makes some amazing burritos-- top with a bit of cheese, shredded lettuce-- some guacamole (avacados are good for ya) you can totally swap greek yogurt for sour cream or what I do is 1/2 light sour cream and 1/2 plain fat-free greek yogurt. Heck-- I omit the tortilla altogether and just have it in a bowl topped with stuff. Supa dupa filling, high in protein and fiber-- it makes a LOT and it's VERY budget friendly!
I use the frozen leftover beef to make a quick and awesome pot of shredded beef chili.

Cover & cook in your Crock Pot on low for 6-8 hours.
Every 2 hours, I stir the ingredients.
You can shred the chicken when it is done, or just leave it as tenderloins.
This is what it looks like after 6 hours:
I turn the crock pot off & let it sit for about 30-45 minutes.
It is a little soupy, but letting it sit causes it to not be as soupy. I serve this over rice. The rice soaks up some of the soupiness.
It makes a lot, it feeds 6-8 adults. You could have it for dinner a couple nights & for lunch. I actually like it better on the 2nd day, when it isn't as soupy.
So, you could make this the day before & then keep it in your fridge overnight.
When we have it on a leftover day, sometimes I combine the rice & the cream cheese chicken mixture and use it for burritos. Add a tortilla, some lettuce, cheese & salsa.
Easy. Good. Healthy.

most recently i made country style ribs which are a good (and cheaper) alternative to baby back ribs. bone in or boneless, it doesn't matter, they're meaty and, after some time in your slow cooker, are tender and juicy.
dry rub
1T chili powder
1T cumin
1T garlic powder (or granulated garlic)
1T onion powder (or granulated onion)
1T black pepper
1T paprika
1t brown sugar
1t cayenne
salt to taste (preferably kosher salt)
3-5lbs country style ribs, rinsed and patted dry. season liberally with the dry rub and refrigerate for at least an hour in a covered container or zip lock freezer bag.
1 onion, sliced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
you can sear the meat on all sides prior to putting in the slow cooker but it's not necessary (it does add good flavor), then place the meat in the cooker on medium heat for 2-3 hours.
at this point i like to remove the meat from the cooker and drain and strain the liquid (gets rid of that white stuff that comes out of the meat), then place the sliced onions and garlic on the bottom of the cooker and the meat on top and pour the drained liquid back in.
cook it for another hour or two, depending on how tender you like it. it's good over rice or mashed potatoes with crunchy veggies like broccoli or cauliflower.

Tomatillo pork roast.. I use about a pound and a half pork roast. Place a layer of sliced onions, chopped jalapenos, and green chilies (to taste)on the bottom of the cooker and place the roast on top. Peel husks from 4-5 tomatillos and tuck around the roast.Add cumin and minced garlic to taste, and pour a large can of tomatillo sauce over the whole thing till the roast is fork tender. Great in tacos with a squeeze of lime, or burritos. I like to shred the whole thing and make enchiladas with it!

Boy-- I'd be lost without my CROCK-POT! I made a great batch of White Chicken Chili the other day and it's SO good!
Line your crock--
put in 4 frozen chicken breasts--
heat 1/12 Cups of chicken stock to a boil and pour over the chicken (I make stock using good quality chicken soup base, a few shakes of Lawrey's seasoned salt and a few good shakes of Poultry seasoning).
Cover and cook on HIGH for about 4hrs-- low about 8hrs.
Then-- pull the chicken out with tongs and shred with 2 forks.
Strain your broth til it's nice and clear and return to the crock.
Put the chicken back as well.
Next add in:
1 small jar of Randall brand Great Northern beans--
1 packet of McCormick brand White Chicken Chili seasoning (this stuff is awesome and adds tons of flavor!)--
1 Cup of frozen sweet corn--
1/2 of a loaf of light Cream Cheese (cubed up)--
a few good shakes each of Ground Cumin and Chili powder--
Stir it all up-- cover and cook on HIGH for another hour.
Stir again before serving--
We like to top with some shredded SHARP cheddar and crumbled whole grain tortilla chips!
