When you stated you hadn't used the fire roasted tomatoes before, I was like "Oh you're in for a flavor ride girl!" I just love using those in certain recipes, all these crockpot meals look amazing. Thank you so much for sharing them!🥘

[@RevBTB]

hang in there, Mama! lol my "baby" turned 20 this year and my oldest has TWEENS! The roller coaster is long and winding, but will be over before you know it & you wont remember the tired, you will embrace the joy of that ride and wish for the "used to be" lol. but now, lazy mornings are when I get to watch all you amazing creators so the exchange isnt too shabby... /wink

I get 100 lbs of sweet onions every year from my boss and have to find ways to use them before they go bad. I recently found out you can make caramelized onions in the crockpot. I thinly sliced and quartered about 8 large onions and added 4 tablespoons of butter along with a bit of salt. I let them cook overnight on low for about 12 hours. You can even freeze it to use later. Makes a great French onion soup as well. I wanted to make it a little more substantial, so I added a 1.5 lb piece of Chuck roast along with 8 cups of beef broth and cooked on high for about 4-5 hours, then shredded the beef. Was super delicious!

[@SeeMindyMom]

That's a lot of onions! Glad you found some ways to use them! :)

[@patriciasweet151]

You fo know you can use panty hose drop an onion in a leg tie a knot. Keep filling up both legs up like this. Hang with some are flow around. They keep for a long time

[@maryhull531]

Thank you . This sounds delicious . Will have to try this .🌹

[@patriciasweet151]

@@maryhull531 Just cut off what ever you need below the knot. Sorry forgot to add this.

[@sarahritter2055]

Whenever I get a large supply of onions, I peel and chop them (skins and peels bagged in the freezer for future veggie stock), then I put the chopped onions in my dehydrator. Once dried, they store well in a jar for soups, stews, etc. You may want to do the dehydrating outside, though! I hope this helps 😃

[@kymschoeff2858]

What I’ve read is that the Aura, unlike the crockpot, heats up slowly to temp to avoid causing the outside of the meat to seize up before the inside reaches temp. So when you change the setting the process starts over.

[@candycemonroe7345]

Rewatching an old video. I just wanted to say watching you make substitutions in your use it up challenges makes me feel more confident in cooking.

I'm in that Lazy Day Cooking club! I'm an OG member lol 💝 Love the club 💝

[@wendeestafford]

Saving the crockpot liquid from certain recipes has completely changed the way l cook. Those liquids add SO much home cooked flavor to pretty much anything but they are invaluable as soup bases! When l have an over abundance of veggies leftover from the crockpot, l will process them right along with the leftover liquid. So good in future meals! Great video Mindy as usual! 🤗

[@SeeMindyMom]

Great tip!

[@karlaneese9379]

We loved the jalapeño popper chicken sandwiches! Next time, instead of water, I plan to add some of the juice from pickled jalapeños to bump up the tangy spiciness. So yum. The rest of the bag of Rhodes rolls I used to make calzones and baked them at the same time I made the rolls for our sandwiches! The remainder of the chicken will be used for enchiladas later this week.

[@asweetnspicyginger2443]

I absolutely love my crockpot!! Thanks for the recipes!!

[@erinmorey9334]

Bought some chicken and totally excited to watch this video to decide how to use it in my crockpot! Thanks, Mindy!

[@SeeMindyMom]

Hope I could give you some ideas, Erin! :)

[@AliciasKitchen7]

I feel the instant pots are the same way with the slow cook feature so what I like to do with the instant pot if I want to slow cook in it is pressure cook for 1 minute and let it sit on warm for the time I would slow cook for

[@alphadog3384]

Made 2 chicken skinless chicken thighs with cream of chicken soup & herb in the crockpot for dinner..then shredded mixture over egg noodles.

[@comiketiger]

I had a really special deal on 5 lb of cube steak one time. We were having a game day get together so I made a large pot of chilie out of it. I made it pretty similar to my "world famous" chilie, ☺ It made an outstanding combination. 😋😋😋. Another great video with a world class presentation. You get some needed rest young lady. 😉 God bless over you.

[@SeeMindyMom]

Thanks! I will try. :) Rest is hard to come by in this season of life, I'm realizing. LOL!

[@RevBTB]

OH and as for cubed steak in the crock.. I use cubed steak when I need the meat to hold its form more. it is always a cheaper cut of meat so is easier on the wallet too

[@dianecuthbertson2686]

I bought your meat masher from Amazon, have used it twice so far, it’s fantastic! I love it, so so much easier than using a wooden spoon or egg flip.

[@denisebiendarra5996]

Those recipes look so good, esp. the first one, which I’m planning to try this week if I can figure out how to use our new Instant Pot. Our Crock Pot finally but the dust, and I finally bought a new appliance that I can use for slow cooking as well as other methods. Please say a prayer for me so I don’t hurt myself😯!

[@SeeMindyMom]

You can do it!

[@sherilynalexnder897]

A couple weeks ago, you did a vid on 'when I'm tired of cooking' meals - that was today for me, so I'm happy to get ideas and motivation from this post, thanks!

[@SeeMindyMom]

Happens to all of us! ❤️

[@nancycarney]

I love my crockpot. Do not have all the other cooking gadgets. I also love "cook once and eat 2-4 times". 🙂 It just may show up differently the next time, lol. Your combination of ground beef and italian sausage also makes a great meatloaf. We use leftovers for italian sub sandwiches.

[@SeeMindyMom]

So true! I do the same thing. :)

[@chantaldespres2917]

Maybe it's a american thing but all the food channel I follow use sooo much cheese ! in canada, cheese is not cheap and I would not put philadelphia anywhere else than bagels! lol! But it give me good ideas , thanks :)

[@laurac56]

The US government subsidizes dairy farming and that helps our dairy products’ prices. (Although dairy prices have gone up here just like everything else.)

[@erinlikesacornishpasty4703]

Idk, cheese isn't all that cheap here either, even with the dairy subsidies. It's definitely a cultural thing, we love cheese! But Mindy uses cream cheese a lot as a kind of easy roux shortcut, I've noticed. My family never uses cream cheese like that, but I like the idea 🤷‍♀️. Our store brand cream cheese is way cheaper than Philadelphia cream cheese, too. I've hosted several foriegn students, many from Asia, who attend a nearby college and they often are shocked by how much cheese we eat.

[@angelacorner5204]

I only have a slow cooker, so I'm hoping that the beef noodle recipe turns out ok. Thank you for the recipe, looking forward to trying it, something different from the same meals. From the UK.

[@cmapperson26]

Instant Pot Aura question- how does it perform compared to a traditional ceramic slow cooker? I find the "slow cooker" function in my regular Instant Pot takes forever compared to my crock pot.

[@cmapperson26]

Ha! You literally just answered my question in the video. Guess that's what I get for commenting midway!

[@SeeMindyMom]

Haha! No worries! I’ll take comments any time I can get them. 😊

[@Mrrngglory3043]

Crockpot brand slow cookers cook 25-50 degrees hotter than all other slow cooker brands. So if your recipe doesn’t work quite right, that’s probably why.

[@janicecraig2364]

Wrapping potatoes in foil and slow cooking for 8 hours on low makes the nicest baked potatoes.

[@mysticmom616]

I put skinless chicken legs in a greased crockpot. I sprayed them lightly with avocado oil then a chicken seasoning mix. You could use onion powder, salt, pepper, sage and thyme instead. I just sprinkled it on top of the chicken. I cooked in on low for 6 hours overnight. The chicken was cooked perfectly and I had a chicken leg for breakfast. I added no water or broth when I cooked them.

[@wendeestafford]

I like your style! I would totally eat chicken for breakfast! 😊 That sounds very good.

[@phoeniciacloud1515]

Yum 😋

[@deniseb7370]

I’m so ready for crock pot “season”! Enjoyed the video! ❤️

[@SeeMindyMom]

That recipe where you cut up the flour tortillas and added in- it would be good with corn chips or nacho chips or Doritos in it.

[@lorita3488]

How to cook baked potatoes in a crock pot - some recipes wrap potatoes in foil but you can if you want to but you do not have to! Just salt & pepper them and stack them up in the crock pot. cooking time will depend on the size of the potato so try to use all the same size if possible. prick with a fork to see if done. Wash potatoes and prick with a fork. Rub with Olive oil and salt & pepper, place in slow cooker & cook till fork tender. Turn slow cooker to warm! It will depend on the size of the potatoes & your slow cooker on high it should take 2 to 3 hours and on low 6 to 8 hours. To your taste prefer they can go on the grill or broiler for a couple minutes for a crisper skin. Serve with bowls of Sour Cream, Bacon bits, chopped chives or chopped green onions or your favorite toppings Baked Potatoes in slow cooker Prick the potatoes with a fork several times, then rub potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and wrap tightly in foil. Place the potatoes into a slow cooker, cover, and cook on High for 4 1/2 to 5 hours, or on Low for 7 1/2 to 8 hours until tender. Baked potato in foil: Drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Rub the salt and oil over the surface of the potato, then wrap tightly with the foil sheet. Place in your slow cooker. Cook the potatoes on high for 4 to 5 hours or low for 8 to 10 hours, until soft.

[@CristinSierra]

Yes I have the same problem with my insta pot when I try to use it like a slower cooker. Several times I’ve had to pressure cook my potato soup after slow cooking it all day because the potatoes and carrots were still hard

[@angelachavez3526]

Meals look great! What was your opinion on the fire roasted tomatoes in the red sauce? It looked very delicious!

[@SeeMindyMom]

That was the best meat sauce I’ve ever made! IMO. 😂 My husband also said it was very good.

[@LeMErin21]

Which recipe was your favorite? I’m probably going to make the enchiladas with low carb tortillas 😃

[@SeeMindyMom]

The enchiladas! Though they were all things I would make again. But my kids and husband had 2nds of the enchiladas, and we had no leftovers!

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good afternoon Mindy Mom. I'm definitely having this for lunch today.

[@isabelleon2381]

Hi, I love your content! 💚 I would like to say that the recipe called white chicken enchilada casserole reminds me a little to much to a Mexican recipe called chilaquiles but this one whit the soft tortillas. Instead of doing that, you can add tortilla chips and it would be 100% better! Also, you can add toppings like cheese, sour cream, onion and cilantro. Also the chicken would be a topping too. We eat chilaquiles at breakfast and some times, you can also add a sunny side up 🍳

[@SeeMindyMom]

Great ideas!

[@thisnthatcormak]

I've not used my crockpot a lot but I've been trying to. Several of these recipes look so good How do you like the liners? I'm trying to justify if I need to try some!

[@shayvay777]

Those recipes look super yummy! Definitely pulling out my crockpot tomorrow:)

[@SeeMindyMom]

These were all really good. There were no leftovers of the chicken enchiladas!

[@teresialynch4407]

I use my Instant Pot Duo, that's what I have. I found that if you use a slow cooker recipe, the Temps don't work the same between my crockpot to instant pot slow cooker mode. High on IP is about medium/low in CP, and Medium on IP is about Low/ Warm on CP. Hope that makes sense.

[@truthinlovemama]

Yes, I have the same issue. I can’t cook roasts in my instant pot on the slow cooker setting at all. It doesn’t get hot enough to break down the collagen.

[@melissaparker1342]

Fire roasted tomatoes are delicious in Taco soup

[@SeeMindyMom]

Oh, I'll need to try that this winter! Thanks!

[@mrsc9193]

For the Beef & Veggie casserole, at what point would you put it in the freezer? My thought is before the noodles. So then when you're ready to make it you simmer it for 5 hrs and then add the noodles & milk (and later the cheese). Does that sound right?

[@deniseiml]

Thanks for the great recipes an excellent videos. They are much appreciated. ❤

[@GriefCoachCindy]

I think I read that instant-pots on slow cooker mode heat from the bottom. Traditional Crockpots heat on the sides. So that might be why you have trouble with temps. But the sauté function is a good hack.

I like my slow cookers better. I'm old school. LOL. Sometimes you can find good deals on crockpots at garage sales or thrift stores. If they don't have cracks and the cooking elements work.

[@koreanchick1417]

Most instant pots have a slow cooker function and you just have to buy an extra lid..instead of buying the instant pot aura (which is pricey for having the same fuctions as a normal instant pot lol) or another slow cooker!

[@lorita3488]

one of my favorites: Dad's favorite Meal - Bar-Be-Cue Potatoes From the Kitchen of: Alderson Family Favorite Meals Bar-Be-Cue Potatoes For each person scrub & slice a potato in 1/8 inch without cutting all the way through. Put a couple of tablespoons of butter on it, forcing some into the slices while holding potato all together. Salt and pepper it. Put a nice big slice of onion on top. Use heavy duty aluminum foil, and wrap with a roll and seal on top. Repeat foil wrap! Bar-be-cue on grill for about an hour. Bake extras for those hungry people or to use the next day. Can be roasted in 350 degree oven for 1 hour! I usually do two potatoes for each person. Over the years different people in the family (if they are there when making them or tell you what they want have found other things they want in with their potato. Different spices, celery, mushrooms (for me they get to soft), sweet green peppers. What would you want yours and what can you think to add

[@ja5034]

❤you are not alone at all so sleepy after a long week at work sports and school kids projects leaves me no time to cook a home cooked meal your so helpful my family thanks you

[@amandaribofpalmetto]

I have been making something similar to the chicken popper sandwiches forever! It starts with a dip I make. Jalapeño popper dip, 1 block cream cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, shredded cheese and diced jalapeños to taste. Toss it all in the crockpot and cook on low all day and eat it as you want! We had some left over one day and had chicken tacos for dinner so we all ended up putting it on our tacos. Now we just make the dip with the chicken and make quesadillas with it!! Soooo good!

[@karenmbbaxter]

I love your videos because for me I will save wherever I can for a holiday/trip because I can't stand the cold weather. I book a year early to save money and your recipes also help me feed my family inexpensively so they are well fed throughout the year. So many teenagers and 20 year olds spend thousands of dollars on Uber Eats and I don't think it is that cheap. I am not sure whey they do it.
