#FranksRedHot & #HamBeach slow cooker join forces…

Let me begin by introducing myself, I am Lily; the woman who only used a slow cooker/ crock pot for nacho cheese during a birthday party.  Now that we got that out of the way, WOW!!! The things people make with the slow cookers are amazing!!!  I seriously had no idea what to do with them, hence the nacho cheese; but now; hold me back!!!

I was going to write a blog post about something I was going to cook in my NEW Hamilton Beach 5qt Slow Cooker, but
I couldn’t think of one thing; so I asked the kids to tell me what they felt like having for dinner.  Being that today has been the coldest night so far, it was an easy answer for them; they chose beef stew.  So I thought to myself that beef stew might be a little boring for you to read about, so as a second choice they said “happy-help me stew”

Foodie Friday: Homemade Sloppy Joes recipe

 

 

With Halloween this weekend I wanted to share my recipe for Sloppy Joes. This was a Halloween favorite as a child and I made them every year for my kids to eat before Trick or Treating. You remember as a child eating Sloppy Joes. My mom made them out of a can of Manwich. She would serve them open face over toasted buns. You had to eat them with a fork and butter knife. To this day I love them. I can taste them, smell them. Something so simple yet so fulfilling. My mom was not that into cooking. Yet there are a handful of dishes that I loved. She made chicken fried steak that any southerner would love and liver and onions (yes I said liver) that to this day I miss. It is amazing that I miss the simplest dishes. A can of Sloppy Joe sauce and I am back in my mommas kitchen. (don’t worry she doesn’t know Mr Internet so she has no idea I am talking about her )

When I was asked to do fall recipes for my buddy Adventures of a Military Family 8, I was thrilled! I have a ton of wintery recipes. Growing up the first part of my childhood in the snowy mountains, my family ate foods rich in gravy or stewed. I didn’t know it at the time but my grandmother was cooking for a large army. Every meal was at least ten hungry adults. My grandmother had a way of making cheap meals taste elegant. This happens to be right up her alley. The nice thing about this meal is the crackpot does most the work. You do a little prep. It cooks slowly all afternoon and then you pile it on some mashed potatoes and add a veggie.
