I cook large amounts of ground beef in my oven at 400 degrees. Line cookie sheets with foil. Break apart the beef, salt-pepper-garlic powder, put in oven. After 5-10 minutes break it apart more, cook 10-15 more minutes. It looks exactly like it’s fried in a skillet. It’s the quickest and easiest way for me.

[@leithagrover9116]

Much better than the pressure cooker. But I still love the stove method. Nothing Brown's the meat like that

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

‘My children are loud because.. they’re normal children’ hahah! I LOVE that remark! Too right! Is there any sweeter sound than children laughing & playing with siblings / friends / having fun?! I used to work in nurserys (I believe you guys call them daycares) with ages 0-5yrs & when I could no longer work due to my chronic genetic disabilities that’s one of the sounds I missed the most.. children’s ‘noise’ & laughter. I know that’s something most parents probably become accustomed to, but I’ve been told I can’t have any of my own little ones, & I sit here listening to neighbouring children play in their back gardens having a wonderful time; i throw open the window sometimes & just listen, it makes my heart warm 🥰💕 my nieces & nephew are all grown teenagers now, so I love seeing & hearing your little ones. Thank you for blessing people like me with your family! Food looks delicious as always, & I could NOT live without my slow cooker! Love love love it! ❤️ xx Team work makes the dream work! 😁

[@Gsdn21]

Grill recipe! This is my dad’s steak secret that we grill all the time! Take your favorite steak cut, we like filet mignon, beef tenderloin, Wagyu, ribeye etc. and smother the cuts in good honey (get the honey all over the steak every square inch) then cover the steaks in coarse sea salt (it has to be coarse sea salt for the recipe to work) the salt with the really big crystals. You want A LOT of salt on the steaks. It will seem like a lot but it’s now. Let the steaks sit out at room temp for 30 mins to 1 hours. Then throw them on the grill at a very high temp honey, salt and all! Cook until Desired temp. The honey and salt caramelize on the steaks with the high temp of the grill and make the most amazing flavor!

Good morning. Everything looks good. As a mom of just 4, I use to do meal prep and it makes things so much easier. I still do that even though they are grown with families of their own. It still makes my life easier as I work long hours(when I'm working). I can put things in the freezer and take out when I need a meal. Love your ideas and how you & Solo worked together creating your meals...Blessings to you all, stay safe, and healthy.

I always boil my bratwurst in water on the stove until they’re cooked through and then finish them up on the grill or in a frying pan to crisp them up. It saves a bunch of time and they’re cooked more evenly.

That's how we do it in my family too. Plus when you do grill them, it saves on the gas for it.

I love the Swedish washcloths! I just got some from Amazon yesterday because mine were wearing thin. They wear well, clean up well, and I even put them in a small bowl of hot water with one tablespoon of bleach when needed to keep them bright and sanitized (nurse brain related). I also like that they dry fast so I feel like they are a cleaner option than conventional dish cloths. PS I love the look Judah gives you while stirring the veggies at the stove!

One you tuber ( thr Queen’s Cabinet) makes marinades fur chicken and beef and bags them for meals in the freezer until needing , then takes it out to thaw and the flavor is in the meat ready to grill! I like the variations in her marinades. I think you might too! Getting the bags of meats marked with what kind of marinade and date makes it easy to pick and choose.

Hi! Try fiesta chicken: 1 lb chicken breast 1 can drained black beans 1 can drained corn 1 can rotel toms (I used the ones with Serrano peppers) Chili powder + cumin + garlic powder Throw in crockpot for 4 hours on high. Add 1 block cream cheese, stir in and wait 20 mins We eat with rice or chips to make nachos. Might need to triple for your family but it is so good ❤️

[@shirleyfretty487]

Good Afternoon Sara and family!!!! Been waiting for your meal prep!!!!!!

[@lynhanna917]

with the tool - if you put it in a sink of water you will have to "drain" the handle because it fills with water. It is also fantastic to use when making egg salad. In just a minute you can cut a bowl of hard cooked eggs into pieces without having to use an egg slicer or knife.. I rarely remember to defrost ground beef and it works great breaking the meat up as it cooks in the frying pan. Love your meal planning videos it really helps me rethink my meals. Love the kidos in the background - what a joy.

[@Blessedbears]

I love the meal prepping videos! I’m doing poorly in planning meals lately! Horrible! Thanks for the ideas! Never thought to brown the beef in the slow cooker! I think that can be a game changer for us too! I need to try out that meat breaker up thing!

[@lynhanna917]

run to amazon and buy it - seriously it is a great tool. I also use mine when making egg salad, put the hard cooked peeled eggs in a bowl and then chop away and in less than a minute you have eggs as fine or chunky as you want.
