Manual can opener! The less things sitting on the counter top, the better for me and my tiny kitchen 😃

[@judycarey9051]

I'm 70 years old. For some reason, at this time in my life, I have problems with electric openers and even openers like yours. I use one of the old church key openers (with the point and the hook) like my grandmothers did back in the 1950's. Works great.

[@juttakasapis6408]

I have some of the key can openers. That's the one I grew up with. I looked like a dummy trying to use a manual one, the first time...lol. That the one I use now. I never used a electric can opener...😃

[@doodiehutchison4463]

I am so thankful that many companies are using pull tops on their cans!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Those swedish meatballs looked so yummy!!!! After watching this, I'm starving and it's 9:16am. 🤷‍♀️

[@CarlaMackenzie]

That was my fave!

[@nkailihiwa]

Thank you for the meatball recipe! Making that right now. Easy when you’re sick and don’t feel well but still have to get dinner on the table.

[@CarlaMackenzie]

You are so welcome!

[@allisonmorrissey2078]

Love all of these recipes. I use a manual can opener.

[@shelleyhicks822]

The swedish meatballs looks delicious giving me ideas for Sunday dinner for my crockpot 😉

[@CarlaMackenzie]

That was our fave. Sooo good

[@sharondavizcaino7603]

The lasagna looks really delicious

[@lacihutchison2983]

This is my first time seeing one of your videos and I'm already impressed. Can't wait to see more!

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Awesome! Thank you for being here :)

[@savannahnf]

I love those rolls! I’ve got to try the crockpots lasagna

[@brendagage908]

Recipes are great my husband isn’t a fan of ricotta either so I add cottage cheese as a replacement……he likes that better..lol thanks so much for sharing

[@pennywebb5039]

Love the rolls so good.

They were excellent!

[@andreamuskaug7587]

Thank you for another amazing video! 😍

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Thank ya!

[@patlogdon1373]

I actually have 1 electric can opener and 2 manual ones. I prefer the electric but sometimes its contrary with larger cans.

[@sarahb3671]

I love Ricotta cheese The Swedish meatballs looked delicious

[@chasitytaylor8858]

Manual can opener....it works if the power goes out and it’s simple. Great looking recipes. 😊

[@MissMandaSparkles]

I used french onion dip instead of sour cream in the meatballs and it is so delicious!

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Someone else mentioned doing that too. Sounds like it would be really good!

[@kathieschlosnagle8410]

Hmmm. Sounds like a great idea!

[@amumof2347]

If you pour the beef broth into the cream of chicken can you can swirl it around and get more of that soup out.

[@pattiecomo21]

I always have a manual can opener ,❤ im old school kitchen items ,

[@cherylweeden5106]

Great ideas love them all and I will probably try them all as well🤗❤️

[@comocamlian]

Yummy!! I replace Ricotta cheese with Cream Cheese!

[@sharondavizcaino7603]

The meal looks delicious but unfortunately family will not eat meatballs so I will use a beef roast and cook it until it falls apart and do the rest like you did. Thank you for the different meals you put together

[@daveanasinclairprovencher5903]

I use the can opener from Pampered Chef. Not only does it take up a lot less room, but you can wash it in the dishwasher as well...and bonus no sharp edges! Also I make a lasagna soup recipe instead of plain lasagna. I do use ricotta in mine as well!

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Great tip!

[@kathyfranco9372]

I just found your channel today and everything looks so good. I wanted to tell you that I have been married for 46 years and have always made garlic toast like you did😊 and I still use a hand held can opener..

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Yummy!

[@MNFARMWIFE]

Manual can opener for me but I want an electric one eventually! And I LOVE sour cream 😋 we usually do a salad with our Swedish meatballs. We prefer cottage cheese in our lasagna over ricotta! All of these recipes looked so good!!

[@donnadivis8654]

Hi! I still use the good ole fashion crank can opener! I LOVE ricotta cheese. I will be trying these recipes. They look fantastic!!! Thx!

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Thank ya!

[@donnadivis8654]

[@mariat3276]

Tried the Swedish meatballs! Although, I made my own Meatballs and added some allspice. Loved it! Thank you! (Manual can opener)

[@CarlaMackenzie]

So yummm!

[@BakingJane]

Lots of good cooking.

[@kayburris8464]

Looks so good!

[@amumof2347]

I find that putting the cheese filling in a large Ziploc baggie and piping it on like you do onto a cake like they do with the frosting gives you better control on the disbursement of the cheese.

[@debbieparedes2624]

♥️ty for some new recipes! I have made the crockpot lasagna before and it is delicious and so easy. I don’t care for ricotta cheese either, so I substitute cottage cheese instead and it still tastes really good.

[@GirlyTipsEtc]

Yummy TFS!

[@AlyssaCarvajal]

I use a manual can opener still too! I love dump and go recipes :) Crock pot chicken nachos looked so good! We love Mexican food in our house! I just uploaded my buffalo ranch chicken quesadilla recipe and it was so good!

[@Vera4962]

Was just gonna compliment you on having the recipes in the See More section so we can copy them down and then watch the videos. Thanks again ! BTW, I have an electric can opener but use a manual one as hubby used the elec. can opener to open cat food every day. It is on the back porch now. Much easier to wash the manual one. LOL !

[@CarlaMackenzie]

I love my manual can opener too! Thank you so much for watching :)

[@cynthiavillarreal5525]

Great ideas, I make my lasagna in the oven I always doctor up jar sauce first I cook a pack of hot Italian sausages in olive oil and onions then the jar sauce add 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning garlic powder half a teaspoon, a pinch of sugar salt and pepper instead of ricotta I use cottage cheese 2 pounds of mozzarella cheese and half bottle of Parmesan cheese flavor your cheese mixture with garlic powder Italian seasoning salt and pepper my lasagna usually weighs between 5 to 8 pounds it’s so delicious and my family loves it for the holidays 👍🙏🌈🦋😋😋

[@kathieschlosnagle8410]

Great recipe ideas! For the last one, I think I might add a few cubes of cut up Velveeta to thicken instead of the quesa and maybe some Rotel. Could perhaps be used for tacos?

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Oh yes

[@faithpackett3315]

That's my favorite seasoning also

[@mirandakuczynski6780]

I’m old school with the can opener!!

[@rhondamiller4077]

Love your pink pan!

[@tracy2795]

Ricotta is good, we usually use cottage cheese in our lasagna and that’s really good too.

[@brandinunn1003]

We still use a manual can opener Tip for the chicken nachos...we only use a jar of salsa and a package of taco seasoning. No extra liquid. And even at that we usually end up draining off some extra liquid at the end.

[@daveanasinclairprovencher5903]

I do the same! Less liquid is definitely a plus with the nachos. Also good with pork to make pork nachos!

[@grannygarden5887]

I still use that exact style can opener after many years. my original reason was it didnt take room up on the counter but , i love it anyways. Over the years i found out it was worth buying the higher end one which was still under $20. thanks, great recipes !!!!

[@lisakern2217]

Thanks for the recipes. Everything looks soooooo good!!!

[@CarlaMackenzie]

You’re welcome hun!

[@nickhayburn1919]

I use both type of openers😄 I am going to make the Swedish meatball dinner!

[@pammir6619]

I like the ricotta cheese I also add some cottage cheese to mine

[@sandradaly4478]

Love ricotta cheese. Have tried a Similar crockpot lasagne recipe. Very good. I have a hand can opener.

[@jennifergraham612]

Manual can opener, , I see you are using your new crock pot, , I like the white, , love the apron, thanks for sharing your recipe.

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Thank you! Yes I am :)

[@1002CL]

Manual can openers put metal shavings into your food. I use the one that opens the seal on the side. No sharp edges and no metal shavings.

[@cherylgaston479]

Suggestion for taco chix ,dont use a whole can of broth,use 1/4cup for a less watery broth .

[@christypogue-lee515]

I LOVE your cooking vlogs!!! I just LOVE your channel, God Bless You!

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Thank you so much!

[@amandacarroll9611]

We use a can opener just like yours. Use your electric hand mixer to shred cooked chicken. It works great, and is much easier and faster. I want to try all 3 recipes!😋

[@CarlaMackenzie]

That’s how I always shred my chicken lol I just didn’t want to do it like that in the crockpot but I probably will next time. It would have turned out better.

[@taraoldham3155]

I love ricotta cheese and so does my husband

[@farmhousesprinkles7705]

Have you ever used crock pot liners? Life changing!!

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Yes I have ❤️

[@watermelongal5512]

Love these recipes Makenzie! I do not like ricotta cheese either that's why I don't like lasagna and I use a manual can opener too. I'm too afraid of the electric one. Everything looks good!

[@joycehurt7875]

I use both it's good to have if power goes out.

[@TastingParty]

Substitute the ricotta with cottage cheese. It adds the same creamy texture & more flavor. Alex might like it.

[@lauraparker2334]

My kids don’t like ricotta cheese either so I just double the mozzarella cheese and they love it like that! Lasagna has been both their birthday dinner choice since they were really little- they are 45 42 now!!!!

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Mine too! Even at my age now. Mom still makes us lasagna for Christmas. Hers is the best!

[@patmulh4245]

I use a manual can opener. I use cottage cheese in place of the Ricotta ....I have a grown daughter that hates cottage cheese....I throw it in the blender before I put it in the Lasagna and she has never caught on...lol. Enjoyed your video, and have to make those meatballs!!!

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Sounds great!

[@mandyalley125]

I never liked lasagna growing up because of the ricotta cheese. Now as an adult i make it all the time using cottage cheese instead of the ricotta cheese and its delicious! We make it several times a month.

[@shelbylynnwilliams8520]

Oh yeah! Thanks so much for these crockpot meals!!!! Electric can opener. Love lasagna but my husband hates it because of ricotta cheese. I have substituted cottage cheese & he still won’t eat it. I only fix lasagna when my grown children & families visit for a weekend.

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Alex won’t eat it with cottage cheese either really. My mom makes us lasagna every year for Christmas. Soooo yummy!

[@feyfantome]

For the meatballs, since it’s more of a brown gravy I think golden mushroom, or even cream of mushroom, would be a much better addition than the cream of chicken. Golden mushroom would be spectacular to increase the ‘umami’ flavor. I’d probably even throw in some sliced mushrooms or canned mushrooms.

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing!

[@karensomething16]

I hate mushrooms!😂

[@jeannem4475]

Except if you don't like mushrooms...at all.

[@courtneymarshall8035]

I LOVE ricotta cheese.. I always put at least double the amount a recipe calls for... I absolutely HATE cottage cheese, but I can eat ricotta cheese by itself, with some salt and pepper!

[@joycehurt7875]

Oi liked ricotta cheese also till I got a container from Walmart and it had a bunch of hair all mixed in it. So now only use cottage cheese.😬

[@terrid4715]

Yummy 😃😄 I use folk can opener I love rota cheese

[@cynthiaheart2021]

I have to use more my slow cooker looks yummy

[@annraines3573]

It depends on whether I have ricotta cheese in the house that day. The only time I ever made lasagna in the slow cooker it got way to dry. So I only cook it in the oven.

[@carmelita4855]

I like it in the oven so that I don’t have to break the noodles 😊

[@jameshchetwyndjr9739]

Just got crock pot. Beef stew tender, tasty, good 8 hr

The manual can opener is the best! i have never had a frozen meatball in my life and I am pretty scared to try them

[@krisheathman9053]

I’ll pass on the ricotta cheese, but love lasagne so much and make it with cottage cheese instead❣️ Yummy 😋 I also make my own homemade tomato sauce for it too. Hand held manual can opener here. The less clutter on the counter the better 😂

Love your crock pot dinners! The Swish Meatballs look wonderful. What kind of short bread cookies were those? We’re they from a Target? I don’t like Ricotta Cheese either, so I take a 24 oz container of cottage and blend it in the blender or food processor with salt, pepper, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. So you can try that if Alex doesn’t like a Ricotta.

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Yes they are from Target! Pretty good :)

[@hollerlife2108]

If your not a sour cream fan but enjoy french onion chip dip, try replacing the sour cream with dip. I love sour cream but my step mom doesn't so that's what she always has done and I continue to do in my beef stroganoff

[@CarlaMackenzie]

Oh wow such a good idea because I do love the dip. I couldn’t taste it in the meatballs and they were a huge hit in my house.
