HAWAIIAN CHICKEN

in the bag: 

  • 2-3 chicken breasts (whole)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbs soy sauce
  • 1/2 can of large pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup of pineapple juice (from can)
  • 2 chopped bell peppers (I used red and yellow)

to cook: 

  • cook on low for 6-7 hours
  • shred and serve over rice

Hello, Hawaii? Delicious called and wants its chicken recipe back. Or something like that. Anyhow: suffice to say this one was a hit. Juicy and sweet and bursting with flavour, this one will become a family ‘classic’ for sure.

Cilantro Lime Chicken Crockpot


CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN

in the bag: 

  • 3 chicken breasts
  • juice from 2 limes
  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 1 (16 oz) bag corn
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • salt and pepper

to cook:

  • cook on low for 8 hours
  • shred meat and serve in tortillas
  • garnish with sour cream, salsa and grated cheese, if desired

I was looking forward to this meal most of all; maybe that’s what made it so disappointing. It might be worth making again, with a few changes. For instance, I would add the corn only at the end, maybe for the last 15 minutes or so and just to heat it through. I’d also add more heat to it; maybe some chill powder or cayenne pepper. 

Crock Pot Mongolian Beef


MONGOLIAN BEEF

  • 1 pound flank steak, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

  • 3 large green onions, sliced diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root (I used powdered)
  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce

  1. Place flank steak and cornstarch into a resealable plastic bag. Shake the bag to evenly coat the flank steak with the cornstarch. Allow to steak rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir steak until evenly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
  3. Place all ingredients in a Ziploc bag.

to cook:

  • Cook on Low setting for 4-6 hours.

We loved this recipe! The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender and had a pretty authentic Chinese takeout flavour. Served with steamed broccoli it was a real treat. This is definitely a recipe we will repeat

Kielbasa/pototoes/onion/green beans

1 lb kielbasa or 1 lb smoked sausage
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 medium onion, sliced
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans green beans, drained
... 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
salt, to taste


1. Combine all ingredients EXCEPT smoked sausage, and place in crock pot.

2. Add water to barely cover ingredients. (Can also use Chicken Broth in place of water for more flavor!)

3. Cover. Cook over Low for 4-6 hours or until potatoes are done.

4. One hour before ready to serve cut the smoked sausage into bit sized piece and add to top Do Not Stir.

5. Mix before serving, and serve with a slotted spoon so the water can drain away, or drain the whole batch.

Note: If you like some snap in your green beans, add 45 min. to 1 hour before done! 
Tip:  I used 1 container of chicken broth, and I used a half of bag of red pototoes.  We also didn't drain the chicken broth, and it was GREAT.  :) :) I also used 1 1/2 onion sliced.. :)  Also, you might want to add 1 teaspoon of black pepper. :) Enjoy!!!
