You NEED these CROCK POT DINNERS! | SUMMER Crock pot recipes

[@samarabarber2829]

Yes I never make meatloaf the same every time lol. Sometimes it's a bbq meatloaf, sometimes it has gravy and then one time I made a jerk meatloaf. Love meatloaf ❤

[@FeedingtheByrds]

YEP! Change it up. Keep them guessing. 😆😂

[@vickienorris9951]

110° yesterday and going to be just as hot today. 🔥 🥵 Please send us your rain, lol! Love your recipes ❤

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Oh my goodness!!!!

[@comiketiger]

Great set of recipes. Ive been hungry for a meatloaf! Great idea. I always enjoy your videos. God bless all here.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Try it in the crockpot! SO easy!

[@emilyguinn8025]

We do crushed saltines instead of breadcrumbs or soaked bread! It’s delicious! 👍🏼

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Great tip!

[@yvettethomas5533]

Once I found out you could cook a meatloaf in the slow cooker, that is litterally the only way I make it. Haven't used my oven or stove in 3 yrs. (because i use my slow cooker and instant pot, and a forman grill) My stove is litterally just an extention of my countertop🤣🤣. And no matter what your recipe is for meatloaf, it turns out perfect everytime in the crockpot!!!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I can't imagine going back now. It's so good in the crock pot!

[@ValerieHargett]

Now that is GENIUS to bag meals for trips! We already always carry a cooler with ice. Girl, you have just made our family vacations much easier!😊

[@FeedingtheByrds]

OH absolutely! Quite honestly when we go out to eat a lot now, we are disappointed, so I would almost rather eat at home unless we know it's a place we love.

[@nancyfeeser4653]

Can’t wait to make the crockpot meatloaf!!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

It's so easy!

[@micahsmom1883]

I live in the UP and our weather can be all over the place, but I do not view my crockpot as a certain weather type of appliance, I use mine all year long for convenience. Some days I throw things straight into the crockpot and others I freeze ahead of time and then throw them in on the morning of. It helps to keep us eating at home when things are ready to go or I can just press the easy button on the day that I have no energy or imagination.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I totally agree. I love having things ready for those really busy days, or days when I just don't feel like cooking.

[@chunkofbutter75]

A restaurant I worked at we used to put hot honey on ice cream vanilla. Also, it went on the sour cherry bread pudding that had a Mexican chocolate drizzle and then the vanilla ice cream with the hot honey on top. It was amazing but we made our own hot honey with Gochujang and honey.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Um... I need all of those things now. I want to try them!

[@anitaholmes6824]

I love my slow cookers, yes, plural!!! I use mine all year long and especially in the summer months for the reasons you stated! I have never made meat loaf in one and honestly can't wait to try it now, the foil wrap I think was the star to make it perfect and the clean up would be quicker as well right!! The weather here in Canada is perfect, not too hot, thanks for sharing!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

You're so welcome! We are always a multiple crock pot household.

[@MK-xh3cs]

It's 105 where I live in TX. At this point, the 90s would feel like a cool front!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Wow!

[@deeferry6520]

Its 60 - 68F here in Glasgow, a bit clammy and we've been having lots of rain. Typical Scottish weather, we had a nice spell in May where it reached about 77F, then it was gone and we're back to the misty, wet horrible summers we usually have. With regards to your crushed eggshells, I add banana skins and used coffee grounds, put them all in a blender and add some water. Mix to make a slurry and pour it rould the soil on your plants outside but especially indoors, its a great fertilizer. (potassium, calcium and nitrogen).

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Ok I am definitely going to start doing this!

[@agentk4332]

We are empty nesters now and we love meatloaf sandwiches. We will make 1/2 a loaf just for that. Yes we use the crock pot. We like the "back of the box" recipe from Quaker Oats.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

That is a great suggestion! Meatloaf sandwiches on day 2 next time!

You can cut the pita bread in half and open it up to put your chicken in. That way it doesn’t seem like there is too much bread.

[@barbarahaynes4129]

I’m glad you mentioned that…I meant to say it in my above comment, but as usual, I forgot!😮😂😂😂

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Such a good idea!! I didn't even think of that

[@rosemarydoran9907]

Interesting to make meatloaf in the crockpot! One thing my mom did in summer was make meatloaf up and then form patties and have dad grill them. Easy and no heating the oven! I'm in Nebraska and it has been unusually cool in the 80's and not as humid! We are having rain which is much appreciated especially by our farmers!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Oh I bet that is so helpful right now!

[@comiketiger]

Same here in ks. Heat wave coming again but it has been an amazing summer. Praise God for the rain.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Absolutely!!

Hot in Ohio and rain just makes it humid!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Yep! Same here. Also when I recorded this we were getting rain, now we are in a dry spell

[@aprilhampton6298]

I love balsamic vinegar.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Me too!

[@jennifers1123]

These look delicious! For meatloaf, I use Hunts Meatloaf Sauce, and I grate a small onion with my cheese grater to add to it. It adds moisture, and flavor so you don’t have any chunks of onion that might not get completely soft during cooking. The weather here in Alabama is miserable. The heat index was 105° today.

[@marywalker1394]

Me but haven’t been able to find it lately i I same my onions and green pepper fine dice

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I've never even seen that meatloaf sauce before!!

[@jennifers1123]

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I will have to check it out!

Cloudy and 77 degrees here in KY today. Low 80s the rest of this week. Temps in the 90s next week.

Hi Amber. I'm seeing this video a little late, but we had lots of rain when u were having it. I live next to Asheville {old fort}. I thought it was never going to stop raining. Now that the sun has been shining it's so hot, I may have to ask the Lord for some rain to cool things off. 😁 Thanks for all the great recipes. U should have seen me perk up when u said balsamic chicken. Girl I could drink that stuff. 😂 Have a great week!!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

You are so welcome, you will definitely love that recipe if you love balsamic.

We'll take that rain down here in Gonzales, TX! Lol! That hot honey chicken looks so delicious, I'm going to do this one this coming week!

Hope you enjoy! Add some coleslaw or maybe maybe a ranch or blue cheese for it and you have a winner for sure.

[@blubonnettx]

Thank you for posting these recipes! Can’t wait to try them all. I’m very envious of your vacation spot. Haven’t had a vacation since 2014. Here in our south Texas oven it was 107 with a heat index of 111. God bless!!!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Oh wow!! That's what most people from Texas are saying.

Im in Az and in our Monsoon season…and we have not had a lick of rain….and we need it so bad! And it’s HOT! Love the meatloaf in the crockpot! I usually grate zucchini and chop spinach in mine for added veggies, oh and I always grate the onion just like my Gram did.

Well- I am Phoenix… so we are definitely in the hot season. We never really had our typical Monsoon season in June and now we are getting some rain and cooler temps for the next 3 days. Today is supposed to be high 90’s. All week it has been around 110°.

Thank you hon!!! I'm envious of your mountain vacation. We are melting in the Orlando area, where we continue to be under an excessive heat warning 🥵. These are great recipes- will definitely be making these. Today I prepped a mississippi roast for dinner, searing it first in the Ninja Foodi Pro multi cooker, then switching it over to crockpot setting.

I love a Mississippi pot roast!! I grew up in central Florida so I totally get the heat

It is hot here in Central Florida. Today it was 99 but, felt like it was 105-115. I go outside to just water a few plants and go back in feeling like i went through the water hose. Gonna try that meatloaf in my crock pot.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I grew up in central Florida. I remember it well! 🥵. But I actually prefer the heat to winter.

I have to be super careful of carbs and gluten, so i make the hot honey chicken in the crock pot and top it on a salad. Especially with the dressing being the juices.
