Crockpot Root Beer Pork

Published on December 16, 2016November 19, 2019 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog6 Comments

This is a new recipe to our menu planning. I hate shredding meat with a fork so I usually put the cooked meat into my bowl for the stand mixer and use the paddle attachment. I will put it on low and let the mixer ‘shred’ the meat for me. This works well for chicken breasts also. Continue reading “Crockpot Root Beer Pork” →

Crockpot Tortellini Soup

This is a fairly new recipe that we have added to our rotating menu plan. My DD17 made this one day when I was out of town and it turned out beautifully even though she didn’t add the sausage.

Below are links to some of our favorite crockpot meals. I love to use my crockpot as I can just throw something in there in the morning and forget about it until dinner time. It’s so easy to do. If you haven’t been using yours then I suggest you pull it out of the closet, clean it up, and get ready to enjoy some delicious meals.

Pintos

We eat pintos about once a month. They are super simple to make in the crockpot and the leftovers can be made into refried beans later in the week. The refried beans can be transformed into burritos and quesadillas as well so I usually double this recipe.

This recipe also works well for black beans.
