Crockpot Cooking Just Got CRAZY! Try These Insanely Delicious NEW Slow Cooker Recipes…

[@Shopgirl325]

Tomato paste-I think you open both ends but only take off one lid and then push through on the lid that is left. That should work better. But, like you said, scooping it out with a spoon works just as well 😊

[@celesteadams524]

I was coming comment to say the same thing! Push through with the lid that’s left on!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Lol 🤣 the way my can opener cuts is around the outside edge so it won't fit thru 😉

[@debragreen7272]

I was going to say the same! I love this hack pushing on the lid! ❤

[@gregchandler900]

Never thought of that!😀

[@durandjensen5929]

NO, it doesn't work as well to use a spoon. Using the lid scrapes the can almost completely clean in ONE move; no need to scrape with a spatula, or if you DO scrape with a spatula, it will only take less than 15 seconds to remove ALL traces of the paste. How is that NOT better than a spoon?!

Hello Patricia,how’re you doing today?

I cook for just myself in the crockpot all the time! Sometimes I do a large amount and freeze some, but I do make small portions in the slow cooker from time to time. Everything looks delicious, especially that taco pie!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

That's how I've been doing for me and Patrick too, and it's been such a help. And that taco pie was yummy 😋 thanks so much for watching

[@garryyoung3154]

Hello Stephanie,how’re you doing today?

[@dragonflyy000]

@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel I cook for just my hubby and me nowadays as well, and alot of times I'll make extra to freeze, I've been learning SO much about cooking extra and freezing for later, Oh my goodness! How convenient?!?! WHERE were ALL these crockpot recipes, and tips & tricks, in the 90s, when I was raising my young little boys and worked fulltime?? Ohh all this info could've helped me SOOO much!! But, when I'm just cooking enough for just us two, I often wondered if my crockpot was too big for such small meals? He bought me a brand new Crockpot for Christmas, and it's the SAME EXACT one you have! Even the same pretty maroon color. So I decided IF it works great for you and your Patrick, it would be FINE for my Terry and me! ( Our 2 Electrician hubbys! My hubby was also an Electrician, though in a different capacity than your hubby, but I thought that was pretty cool! I think you said he worked for the city, more as a Line Electrician? My husband did Industrial and Commercial jobs, more as a Contract Electrician. He was also a Service Electrician, and also did alot of New Installation jobs, such as Krogers, Wal-Mart's & Meijers, just to name a few. So he was skilled in HVACR too. That's what his degree is actually in-HVACR, and he switched over to being fulltime Electrician and HVACR as needed at the company he ended up retiring from. Pretty cool huh? Another fun fact- our favorite vacation spot, and where we spent our honeymoon is right by you!! AND I'm more than ready for a relaxing stay in our favorite cabins in Gatlinburg,,,but that won't be happening anytime soon :(( Though we're finally able to take off for a vacation after being fulltime caregivers to my Mom the last 11-12 yrs.,,,we just lost her 8 months ago,..between the loss of her, and our youngest son several yrs ago, we deserve a vacation but just not in the budget right now. SOO very grateful that our last vacation was down there, in 2011, and we ended up taking our son and my Mom. It was the very last vacation either of them ever had. So thankful for those special memories now. ♡♡ May They Both Rest in Heaven now,.......
