Five of the BEST Slow Cooker Recipes WITHOUT Canned Soups!

[@preschoolhomestead]

One of the hardest thing about trying to find slow cooker meals is all the processed ingredients! Thanks for this!

You are so welcome!

[@terryball5563]

All recipes looked yummy. Thanks for Sharing.

How is Acre doing? I was wondering... Is he walking yet, talking or jabbering? Is he eating real food, what is his favorites? I'm sorry, it just drives me crazy not seeing or hearing him. If yall say don't watch I have to... I enjoy it😊

[@judytieger8976]

You are right about most having canned soup. I make my own equivalent of the soup. Recipes online.

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

When I first bought my crockpot in the Uk I bought a recipe book. Not a single processed ingredient. When I moved to North America I was shocked that I found it difficult to find any scratch cooking recipes for the crockpot.

Love Becky, but gotta disagree. She still needs more experience. As she admits, as she constantly asks for advice. But she's getting there. She is very skilled in her niche. I have learned things from her. And it's "generation's." And again, I support her, but she is no Julia Child. That is a HIGH bar.

[@deltorres2100]

Let me tell you a true story about crockpot when I was younger I’ve always bought that brand crockpot 20 years later I called the company to ask if they had a replacement knob. The man said what is the problem I said there is no problem. My crockpot works well. I love it but the knob has weathered over the years and it fell off and I needed a replacement. I said I love my crockpot so the customer representative from crockpot told me, that is the stories we love to hear so he directed me to buy the knob, but in the end crockpot send me a small crockpot for free. I think it was a 5 quart maybe and they sent it to me for free for my story, which was really the truth so I’ve never bought another brand batch crockpot, and I’ve never had any issues with them, except maybe the handle or off and that took 20 years 🥘🥘

[@queencupcake09]

Im so happy to hear this!!!! A company that genuinely cares! I have to Crockpot brand slow cookers and I love them!

[@kimdewbre8859]

I have the same Crockpot that Becky has, only in white. My knob on the lid has weathered, as well. I have looked at replacements but cannot figure which one to order.

[@deborahcox3214]

I too have an old crockpot. I believe I got it around the time they came out with the removable crock. The lid was plastic and my knob had come off, hubby fixed it a few times but it wasn't working anymore. I contacted Crock-Pot and lo and behold, new lid, glass and free!

When my husband made chili and there was only about a bowl left, I made a casserole dish of chili cheese potatoes. Did cook the potatoes like home fries for a crispy exterior before putting them in the casserole dish.

Today bought 2 onions(and a small eggplant), from my neighbor up the road who has a roadside stand! Admire your efforts & my neighbor(who grows alot, even asparagus)! I fully believe if my life hadn't emploded when my husband died from cancer at 43 yrs young when our son was 4 yrs old, we would have had more sustainable trees, produce, chickens would have been nice but not necessary. Enjoy your channel and am happy for your joy and happiness, but tears do come for what could have been. It will be 25 years this December since our loss, he would have been 68 yrs old yesterday. Decorated the cemetery for his birthday/Halloween today (he loved Halloween), (car trouble prevented us going sooner). Thank you for the joy you bring in inviting us along your journey as your friend. 😊❤

[@Faith-in-him]

I just wanted to reach out to you and tell you how sorry I am for your deep loss. I can tell you loved him a lot and miss him greatly. Perhaps, taking up a relaxing but satisfying hobby like gardening might be just what you need to focus on? You could even place something in your garden that reminds you of him? I hope my suggestion isn't too assuming and too forward. May God bless you, comfort you and strengthen you. 🙏

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

@@Faith-in-him Thank you for your caring and comforting message. Yes, my husband was and still is the love of my life, we are soulmates. We prayed and God brought us together, we felt as though we knew each other a lifetime. We lived and loved a lifetimes worth. I have and do garden at the cemetery. That has helped, because I grew up with parents who each had 2 green thumbs. At my childhood home we harvested and canned from jam to veggies. Our son(who was 4 yrs old when his Dad passed away) and I have done certain projects(planted sprouting potatoes one year), but it is hard when your collective dreams and goals as a couple are gone with your person. Each year I want to do lots of things but my health is precarious and do not always feel like it(going up the road to the veggie stand was a one time thing last year). I love all we did plant and do before the cancer, from 3 evergreen trees(for an anniversary and a bonus tree for our son). A French lilac tree from my parents, it blossomed the spring after he passed. Peonies we bought and planted the next spring after we got married. I love when cornflowers come in the fall in the driveway or the side of the road, he loved them. Phlox too, wild phlox has come into our yard. We planted our front and side perennial gardens our first year married. Thank you for your suggestions. He is really all around. Wrote this for him: Beds and beds of wildflowers Colors so brilliant my mind soars You there with me, your hand in mine A dream of forever long agos A place out of time, loving and divine

[@Millenassang]

Hello! In your last video you talked about a french pumpkin from Provence. I am from that region and I would advise you to look into an other variety : the Courge/Courgette de Nice. It s a variety that produices both pumpkin (courge) and zucchini (courgette), if you pick the fruit when it s young it is green and is a zucchini, but if you let it ripe long enough it becomes orange/brownish and it s a pumpkin! Usually you would leg the first few fruits near the base of the plant to ripe for a long time and pick the new fresh one as zucchini to eat during the summer! It s not very watery and is very fun to grow Keep up the good contents, la bise from France 😊

You should try savory pumpkin Orzo. 3 sausage links, cut out of the casing, of your choice fried in a little olive oil of your choice, removed from pan, and set aside. 7.5 Oz of regular plain pumpkin, not pie pumpkin, one clove of garlic diced very fine and one onion diced fine, in the oil left in the pan sweat the onion and garlic for one minute, add pumpkin stir for 2 or 3 minutes. Add 2 and a half cups chicken broth, and mix well for a few minutes. Then add one cup of Orzo and stir for a few minutes until Orzo is to desired tenderness. Then, add a fourth of a cup of heavy cream simmer until thickness you desire, take from the heat, and add and stir in the sausage you pre-cooked and sprinkle with a good Parmigiano, Usually ready in 20 minutes. Add a salad on the side if desired. You can use any sausage you like from spicy to sage or Italian.

I appreciate your crockpot ideas very much! I'm an early retiree. Due to my severe arthritis in my hips, I can only stand for very short periods & I'm not able to walk much.👩‍🦽 I now live with my daughter and her family of 5. Both my daughter and son-in-law work full time. My son-in-law does most of the cooking since he gets off earlier. My 16 yr old granddaughter who takes online high school classes, also does a lot of cooking. She is taking a cooking class & she enjoys cooking for us . I like giving everyone a break from the kitchen & crockpot meals are the easiest for me to do. I can gather the vegetable ingredients for chopping at the table & sit & chop there. I've learned to sit at the stove in a chair to cook for short periods like searing meat.. Then throw it all in the crockpot and just wait. LOL I've even learned to do dishes while sitting down... So thank you 🌷for these recipes. Crockpot cooking or simple dishes that I can cook for are family of 6 make me feel like I am contributing something. I hope to see more...❤

Thank you for the Salisbury steak demo. I was going to make it from a Campbell's soup recipe and my wife who is a regular viewer of yours asked me to follow your recipe instead. Suffice to say, cooking is not my forte and I lack some of the basic skills - watching you dice the onion was revelational, forming and frying up the patties - just watching your hand skills was a great help to me. And I didn't need to use a can opener! ;^) Jack in Sequim.

I enjoy watching you explore using different cooking methods for meals. They all have their place and value.They all allow options around varied schedules. Right now I have 2 crock pots with apples. One making into sauce and 1 with peels and cores making into juice for jelly. When I have smaller amounts of apples I make sauce in the microwave. One thing I don't usually do is brown my meat. I can see the value. I'm going to try it. I like how you've shifted to smaller canned amounts. It can be helpful when you can - have the jars, lids, space to store, etc. As your family grows you may switch again. I can't believe how the time has come and gone!!!

Hi...it's in the spice section and it's a concentrate of mostly caramel and flavourings (I think). It makes sauces look browner.

You can easily make a browner by mixing a spoon of sugar and a spoon of oil on the stove on high until it's almost black. (At that point, it will no longer be sweet.)

I’ve seen the company Kencko at Walmart and they are just so expensive. It made me wonder if it could be mimicked by freeze drying fruit, blending different mixes of fruit and reconstituting it with juice or water!

[@lyndsiedavidson3913]

This is exactly what I was looking for! I've been on a cooking journey the last couple years and I try to do as many things from scratch possible. It's difficult to find crockpot recipes that aren't "dump and go" with condensed soups and seasoning packets. Thank you definitely smashed that subscribe button! 🙏

You should let the cold water run when you straining hot stuff down your sink, so it wont srink you drain lines.❤

[@AcreHomestead]

Thanks for the tip!

[@vbo9872]

@@AcreHomestead Yes, I watched a plumber say that if you don't run cold water, the scalding hot can damage the PVC

[@Rummage.rabbit]

You are a blessing! Thank you so much for showing and teaching folks like me how to make deliciously hearty recipes, you put so much love in what you make. I’m so glad I found you!

[@villagesteader3552]

So good to see recipes without canned soup!

[@ercieberwick1513]

Canned soups are very unhealthy.

[@agold2125]

I love how, like I, you use your knife, or whatever is in hand to mix the pot. It’s probably something that a chef would cry over, but it’s easy and convenient. I can use you for proof that I’m not an idiot. I like your recipes and style. Have a good year.

I bought a crockpot a year ago, it hasn't been out of the box yet. Perhaps you will inspire me!

Becky we always put chopped water chestnuts in our Salisbury steak. Adds just a little crunch! It’s delicious

[@JanisKamplain]

The salisbury steak in the crockpot looked like an absolutely delicious meal and perfect for a cold day,.

[@tennagrover6140]

I like to make a red wine sauce for steaks on the grill. Never thought about adding it to my pot roast! Good idea as always Becky!

[@conniekline9881]

This is the first time I have watched your slow cooker recipes, and they sound excellent! Thank you for sharing your easy, low stress, and delicious recipes.

[@sheliaheverin8822]

You are making me want to get my crockpot out more. I hardly use it anymore, but some of these recipes you've been making looks really good. I do use my instant pot about once or twice a month (I don't use that as much either).

[@paularene5557]

I love that you brown your meat before cooking in the crockpot!!!!! Thank you so much for doing crockpot meals. It really helps us working moms to use a crockpot. I’ve been using one for 30 years.

[@brittanyjean179]

I just got done watching the mushroom crock pot meal - I cannot wait to try that, thank you!! 😍 have you made Hungarian mushroom soup?? I think you would enjoy it because it has dill in it too!! I sub Hungarian paprika for half regular + half smoked.

[@madzabinga8382]

I just looked up a recipe for this soup, it sounds and looks totally delish! If Becky doesn't take you up on the suggestion, please know I am going to!😁 Thanks for the suggestion.

You're so cool, I love all the gardening, canning, cooking, and you are so positive . I appreciate this channel so much, thank You!

Your audio is perfect when you position your microphone as it was in this video. However, your added audio is too low.

[@AcreHomestead]

Thanks for the feed back! I can work on that moving forward!

[@ShirleyinGeorgia]

I like making my own sauces, too….No preservatives👍 These were great ideas…..especially the salsa verde chicken and sides. I LOVE THOSE FLAVORS. Try crumbling some barbecue Fritos on top of your corn salad. It adds a nice flavor and crunch. Thanks for sharing your kitchen ideas with us, Becky 🤗

JAMERRILL SAID TO TELL YOU TO PLANT AFERICAN Migroles next year😊

I saw that and I will!

I always sear my crockpot meat. The manufacturer's book suggests this also. The chicken verde looks delicious!

[@christianwhite4933]

Are you guys always drowning in leftovers?

[@michellebarham326]

I believe she uses leftovers for lunches or a no cook day.

[@ellenradford8582]

She said in earlier videos that she and Josh love leftovers. That was when she was in her old house and made freezer meals

[@terridantzic4361]

I love, love my crockpots (have all sizes), instant pot and air fryer. My instant pot sat in it's box for quite awhile before I ever used it 😢. Thank you so much for these recipes. They all look delicious. Becky, I love your show more than any other cooking show ever. When I was little I watched the Galloping Gourmet with Graham Kerr and Julia Child but you are number one!

Please give us a look-see at the girls when they are enjoying the scraps of food.

I love your program! I have been using instant pot for at least 5 years.. saves me time an the keep warm makes all other dishes cleaned up. I just started pot in pot pasta cooking in instant pot….one bowl, less soggy noodle. Instant pot to me is a time gem. I always do hard boil eggs and I’ll cook potatoes in it to make mashed potatoes…did that a lot for my mom and froze mashed potato servings. Instant pot=time saver! I love your techniques!

[@cierrasimpson116]

Not being mean or anything but I always have a hard time hearing her videos. I know it’s not my phone because other videos on KZbin work fine and I can hear them fine.

[@cathyb19]

Use close captions

[@lindatenga6195]

Cierra, I understand what you’re saying. Sometimes it sounds like she’s trying to not wake the baby, or, maybe, she’s been talking so long, that she might be getting out of breath. Not a criticism. I wouldn’t be able to talk as long as Becky does. 😊

[@Basswife26]

I don’t have a problem hearing her, even without my hearing aids

[@BrookelLakeKC]

She appears to record then do a voice over on portions, which helps eliminate background noises and she can speed up her video. A little lapel microphone may help but I think she does a great job. Also, I’m listening on my ear buds (JBL, nothing expensive to buy). Maybe ear buds will help?

[@Debra_Hasatheory]

I'm hard of hearing. It helps a lot to use earbuds or ear pods because the sound goes right in my ear. As soft as she speaks, I bet this would help anyone to hear her better. Is like how she speaks. It's peaceful.

[@balynch4780]

I want to try everyone of these, and will send to my son. Sent him a Crockpot and he loves it. Thanks for posting these!
