You’re a lifesaver. I time stamped my comment so I can find the enchilada casserole again at 21:35.

[@StinaStudios]

Of course! Thank you for the next time stamp too!

[@jinglesh1398]

I would buy a PDF version of this collection if it were available. This video has a lot of views so I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[@trishabarr5868]

I LOVE fall. CROCKtober is my favorite season😊

[@MealsWithMaria]

It's your season!!!

[@Ashleyjohnson397]

Thank you! I’d love a vegetarian crockpot series! Love your videos Maria!

[@MealsWithMaria]

That's a great idea! Thank you!

[@debilee1501]

Just leave out the meat.

[@BrowneyedGirlmjd]

October is my favourite month for 2 reasons. NHL hockey starts and CROCKTOBER on KZbin. Oh I just wanted to bring to your attention KZbin has a glitch. Somehow it is age progressing the clips of your children. I haven't aged a day so I don't understand how Benny is so big now. He is just a baby and isn't even crawling yet!! He has to be. Or I am getting really stinking old at an exponential rate. Right???

[@MealsWithMaria]

I think it's a life glitch hahahaha I don't know how they change and we dont!

[@joycealtvater8371]

You use too many processed ingredients

[@313Martin]

Let’s go Detroit red wings!!!

[@Back-handedLuck-ul7ms]

Same thing happening here. Drivers license says I am almost 70, but I swear I'm still 48! What's happening???!! 😁

[@angeliquechurilla121]

Can you link the mashed potatoes and green beans recipe I tried to search it on your site and I didn't see it linked here ​@@MealsWithMaria

[@jackiejermeay6568]

Beautiful children. Food all looks amazing😊❤

[@christeenprice5637]

Maria what an incredible video of recipes, thanks 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸😊

[@MealsWithMaria]

Thank you so much!

[@sandram6665]

Use the lemon juice and broth to deglace the pan and get the flavours out.

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yummm! Great idea!

[@roxyfur]

Lots of great recipes and cute kiddos :)

[@sarahl.944]

For the fruit crumble, I often add dried fruits to the fresh fruit in the bottom. They absorb that excess liquid and taste amazing. Raisins, cranberries, tart cherries, and even dried blueberries work well. I also like to add some pecans or walnuts to the topping mix. Its also good with some vanilla icecream. YUM!

[@katrinarobertson4489]

Yummmm thank u for soooo many great ideas!! I love the longer videos like this!! & the slow cooker ideas- are a FANTASTIC BONUS!!

[@MealsWithMaria]

😀 I’m so glad you enjoy them!!

[@julielewisizame]

That curry chicken recipe with the salsa... I would have never thought of that. Sounds weird but I am definitely going to make this. My family likes the recipes that I've made of yours. Keep em coming! 😊

[@MealsWithMaria]

It’s so crazy how good it tastes!

[@pauletteingulia3107]

I’m watching this in the middle of November and you probably won’t see this comment, but your sons are beautiful and they seem to love their Mom very much! Love your video - to the point, no idiocy, just how to cook good meals. Thank you! I look forward to more of your videos!

It's July ' 24 & oh...love the Sound of this!!

[@lisadurant883]

I would have rinsed the picatta pan with the broth mixture to get the flavor and bits!!! Dragging out my crockpot!!

[@MealsWithMaria]

I don’t know why I didn’t do that!

[@Coco-bg8lw]

Thank you! So very inspiring ideas! These meals look soo delicious 👍🌟🌟🌟🌷

[@MealsWithMaria]

You’re welcome and thank you!

[@Gud2B_Blessed]

WOW!!! FIRST time on your channel and I CANNNNNOT WAIT😂😂to try these. These were some really good recipes.😊 My onky suggestion is to wash/or rinse your meat. Straight from the package into a pan or pot😖 IS Hard No for me. Everyone does things different from their kitchen, but not cleaning meat is a turnoff. Meat has alot of handlers before its packaged. So, cleaning/rinsing, cutting excess fat etc, from meat is a MUST in my house. Otherwise God bless.

[@nynapetrov]

It's definitely my favorite compilation. I tried the quick chicken curry wow wow wow fast to prepare, and my kids loved it. Maria I love that you always include the recipes and always have lentils, chickpeas, and beans. Your kids are super cute. Tommy reminds me of my grandson. Julian loves to cook, and Ben keeps saying cheese. He cracks me up 😅

[@MealsWithMaria]

😀 yay! So glad you liked the recipe and happy you enjoy the video too!

[@mariad.3176]

Thanks so much for sharing these recipes, Maria, and for always providing realistic dinner ideas for our families!

[@APL6526]

Lol I love your sweet babies commenting along, so sweet and such good manners (even if when younger)

[@melsockman9615]

This is my first video. And might I say, these recipes look yummy. Thank you. Your boys are adorable. Kids and animals always takes a video to the next level. ❤

[@nicholehelmueller2130]

This is probably the best crockpot recipe video I have ever seen. I love that you use flexible recipes and give people "pantry friendly" ideas. Please do an Instant Pot, Sheet Pan and Foil packet video. You are very creative and this video has helped me break out of the norm crockpot videos and now I have a new recipe with hashbrowns, stew meat and shaved steak.

[@debrablanson2288]

I love making soups usually vegetable soups and when there’s leftovers and there always is I add heavy cream and have a whole new supper delicious soup😊

[@MealsWithMaria]

Great idea!!!

[@myhillsidegarden3998]

Love all that you are sharing. Just wish there were some/more that are dairy free. It is so hard to find good crockpot recipes that don't have dairy in them. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your day. Catherine

[@sandrawarrington7874]

This was a great video compilation of meals. I will have to add some of these. I watched/listened to this while cooking.

I tried the beef chuck tacos tonight and it was delicious. Husband was impressed. Chicken piccata is next on the list

[@kellyschaefer5735]

Thank you for all these simple dinner ideas.

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

Lots of great recipes. Time stamps would be a game changer to help us get through a long video and relocate a particular recipe. I’m going to try that enchilada dish with the tortilla strips at 21:35.

The cube steak yes!

[@bluebird2416]

WOW! Thank you for so many good crockpot choices!

[@JillyM]

I made the Ritz cracker Chicken tonight - it was SO good. I really like the way the sauce is lighter because of the sour cream. I’m going to add broccoli and brown rice the leftovers for a casserole - I actually don’t like how heavy cheesy broccoli rice casseroles are, but this sauce is going to keep it light and zingy! Thank you for 31 great recipes!

[@rds1717]

Thanks for sharing all your delicious sounding crockpot recipes. Crockpot cooking is my fave. However, at 39:31 the recipe is mis-named. It's kidney beans & rice. Red beans are a different bean. You should try them. They taste much better than kidney beans IMHO. Red beans are my go to beans. Soooo yummy. 😊❤

[@MealsWithMaria]

Oh boy! Ok I’ll try them!

[@kellieglendon3136]

Such a good cook, learned some new ideas and ways to use stuff, thanks so much

I go mid morning early afternoon after going to my physiotherapy appointment making it a round trip. As I am not a driver I am really lucky to be walking distance away. The worst time to go in our town is on a Friday late afternoon early evening when all the farmers bus in the off shore workers. Since they usually only come to town once a week the banks and stores are very busy. I live in a heavy farm based county.

[@krisvillanueva3939]

Cute kids! They are your best fans!

[@glomontero6011]

If u want celery all the time just cut the 2” from the bottom, use the rest how u want and plant the bottom. U can look in KZbin for how to sprout chicken veggies. Once its establish you can just cut the outside stocks and it’s never ending . I actually had to pull it out it grow so much. But next bunch I get am repeating my plant celery.

[@rhondamiller4077]

Love crocktober! Thank you!

[@maelindaseawell5269]

Is there a list of the meals and a shopping list or recipe list? Also could you put in markers for each recipe so we can reference them when copying at home? 🙏

I will definitely try some. They look very delicious.

[@christophervogt7456]

Love your videos, but 1 hour & 23+ minutes is too long for me. I'm watching it in small increments of time, 15 to 20 minutes at a time. I will get through it! 🤣 The dishes I've seen so far look amazing! I love a good crockpot meal and get tired with my go to recipes. Thank you for sharing! Happy Crocktober Maria!

[@MealsWithMaria]

Totally get it! It’s a different style for sure! Shorter ones to come too!

[@mollypurcellmealprep]

so many awesome recipes, Maria!!

[@sherrywilliams409]

It’s always good when your kids eat all of what’s on their plate…..but when they ask for more! How great is that. My four year old granddaughter eats like a bird and you are constantly coaxing her to eat! It’s so frustrating. We’ve yet to find any food that she’s crazy about. 👍🏻awe Benjamin is adorable. I saw him walking behind you looking up trying to see what moms cooking!! What handsome young men you have!

[@beckyoverstreet7478]

So many easy and delicious recipes for the slow cooker! What could be any easier which is why every time I find myself going to a fast food place I’m usually upset with myself when I know I own a SlowCooker and a Instant Pot …1) It’s so expensive to eat out 2) usually the food is not even very good 3) Every time I get takeout I feel like I over paid for the food I got 4) I think I’m setting a bad example to my family as it’s not as healthy as my homemade food would have been 5) I feel bad because why didn’t I just throw something into the SlowCooker or use my Instant Pot and have a meal ready to dish up for supper when it’s so easy …as I’m sitting and eating takeout !? 6)all I would have to do is throw something into my SlowCooker first thing in the morning or later in the day and use my Instant Pot . When will I get organized and plan ahead.. after all I know we have to eat !🫤 8) Maybe I’ll do better planning for our meals tomorrow !🤞😉9) I own an freezer that has plenty of food in it and I have a SlowCooker and an InstantPot .. I have no excuse 😝10) I need to start planning a menu for the entire month and having the ingredients on hand for it! 😮😊Well I can always hope that I’ll do that !😂Blessings💕

My favorite meatloaf is the same as yours, the only difference, my husband loves A! so I add a couple T's of that and we love it! Oh, and I make it in the slow cooker as well..

thank you for so many options to try out

[@philipbailey7430]

Anything crockpot is good

[@MealsWithMaria]

😀

[@samanthashaw8329]

a pressure cooker or instant pot would work great too for these recipies. i did bbq chicken in the stovetop pressure cooker as i was very tired had clearance chicken to cook and hungry mouths to feed i think start to finish the chicken took 30 minutes then broiled 5 minutes the other night we had soup beans pintos with smoked turkey butt added in place of ham hock they took a bit longer but still done in an hour no pre soaking

[@wingingitsemiretiredlife2981]

Some great recipes it's probably the best ever invention for busy working moms. Imagine just coming home from work and being served and all you do is critique the meal? LOL...well one half can imagine anyways.

[@brentneyclemmons5392]

def trying the meatball reciepe, i might add cheese! and maybe some french bread with butter on the side. You could also maybe make this a soup of some kind.

[@pattybanzhof]

the Ground Beef Enchiladas, when (and if) do you drain the grease?? I really want to make this today but then....we all know raw ground beef, when heated/browned thoroughly, puts out almost 1 cup of grease!

[@MealsWithMaria]

Hmm I think it absorbed into the tortilla?

[@nancycosta2448]

Hi! Do you have to brown the cube steaks before putting it in the crockpot? Thank you to anyone answering this?😍🥰😘

[@peggyhunt2103]

Hi you should t lock the lid while cooking. The lock is for when you are taking it somewhere.

[@suebarnard1734]

When you cook the whole apples. Cut the apple skin all around the middle. It will prevent the apple from falling apart

[@MealsWithMaria]

Interesting! Thank you!

[@SuntaX10]

Hey I am binge watching your shows but what do you think of the slow cooker option of instant pot? Is it as good as crockpots?

[@MealsWithMaria]

I’ve used it many times! Works just fine for me 😀

[@PurpleReign1401]

Most of the time, I don't make "Thanksgiving" dinner on Thanksgiving. I make what most consider a "Thankgiving" dinner atleast 4 times a year. We prefer ham over a turkey but we like turkey tenderloin. Most of these recipes look good.

[@An_Gold]

Is it possible for crockpot chicken skip the canned soup? Anyone tried? And skip the butter+Ritz crackers? If anyone did it, please let know how it works. Try to not use much butter (and canned food as well). Thank you

[@simplysusan87]

Great video 😊

[@shannonschell482]

I found u through brooke Southern frugal Mama i love theee vids do u have any ideas for low sodium low sugar crockpot meals i found out i have liver disease and kidney issues and a diabetic its a struggle especially when u love to cook

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

A tip I would give about salt is to cook from scratch and not use anything canned. Instead of cream of mushroom soup, chop mushrooms and cook them in a nonstick skillet and use equal parts unsalted butter and flour to make a roux, cook that a few minutes and whisk in milk - you have your own cream of mushroom soup. Use dry beans instead of canned (you will have to cook them yourself before adding to crockpot but you can freeze extra cooked beans for future recipes), and use frozen instead of canned vegetables. Good luck! PS I love Brooke too at SFM.
