0:08
now I'll be honest i don't use my slow
0:10
cooker very often but there are some
0:13
recipes that can only be cooked in your
0:15
slow cooker now these three recipes
0:18
might surprise you how fast they are to
0:20
throw together and the best part is they
0:22
taste delicious now I'm curious before I
0:25
get started do you still have a slow
0:27
cooker or are you completely team
0:29
Instant Pot i still have both cuz I
0:31
still use both but I'm curious what you
0:34
use all right everyone let's get cooking
0:37
now the first recipe we're making today
0:39
is our loaded slow cooker chicken and
0:42
potato casserole first we're going to
0:44
spray our slow cooker with non-stick
0:46
cooking spray next we have four to five
0:49
rusted potatoes now I love to leave the
0:52
skin on them just cuz it makes life a
0:54
lot easier and then I also like to cut
0:55
them into about bite-sized pieces so
0:57
we're going to dump about half of these
0:59
into the bottom of the slow cooker next
1:02
I chopped up about 2 lbs of chicken into
1:05
bite-sized pieces we try and simplify
1:07
that's how we're doing it so we're going
1:08
to pour all of the chicken onto the
1:10
potatoes now in here I have some salt
1:13
some pepper and some garlic powder we're
1:16
just going to sprinkle a little bit on
1:18
right now and then sprinkle on a little
1:20
bit a little bit later okay okay now
1:22
we're going to do halves of things so we
1:25
have four things of green onions so
1:27
we're going to do about two onto it we
1:30
have about six strips of bacon so we'll
1:32
do about half of those onto this and the
1:35
recipe calls for two cups of cheese so
1:37
we're just going to do a cup and put it
1:43
this now we're just going to go through
1:45
and do the steps again
2:02
and last we have one cup of whipping
2:04
cream and you're just going to gently
2:07
pour that over the cheese and that's all
2:10
you have to do with this recipe so
2:12
simple so easy so we're going to put the
2:16
on now we're going to cook this on low
2:18
for about six to eight hours this is a
2:20
great one to put in in the morning then
2:27
dinner all right guys this one is all
2:29
done my sister Kendra is coming later to
2:32
taste test with me so you'll have to
2:33
wait till the end to watch that so right
2:35
now we're just going to move on to the
2:36
next recipe the next recipe I'm making
2:39
is our slow cooker tamalei pie now I
2:42
cheated just a little bit and I decided
2:43
to brown my ground beef before we
2:46
started just to make it a little easier
2:48
beef is all ground grease is drained and
2:51
now we're just going to add a little bit
2:52
of salt and pepper and a little bit of
2:53
cumin so we'll just put that in usually
2:56
I would cook that with it as it's nice
2:58
and hot and on the stove but we're just
3:00
adding it now now we're going to spray
3:02
the bottom of our slow cooker with some
3:04
non-stick cooking spray
3:07
then you're just going to pour the meat
3:09
right into the bottom of your slow
3:11
cooker now for the easy part we're going
3:14
to just dump everything in we'll just
3:16
kind of go for it so we're going to have
3:19
corn make sure you drain your corn
3:22
before you dump it in we have black
3:24
beans that are rinsed and
3:26
drained 10 oz of green enchilada sauce
3:30
this is the brand I like Old El Paso
3:35
we have 10 oz of diced tomatoes and
3:37
there are green chilies in this one you
3:39
can add the green chilies separate but I
3:41
just like to do mine together tomatoes
3:42
and chilies makes my life easy then we
3:45
have about two green onions that we
3:48
up and then just a little bit of
3:50
cilantro if you don't like cilantro you
3:52
don't have to add this but I love
3:54
cilantro now we're just going to go
3:56
ahead and mix this all together and
3:58
we're good to go for a little while now
4:00
we're going to put the lid on we're
4:02
going to let it cook on low for about 6
4:04
to 8 hours all right this has been
4:06
cooking for a while oh man it looks good
4:10
so now we need the yummy part on top of
4:12
it to make it into our I guess tamalei
4:15
so I have one corn muffin mix we're
4:17
going to pour it in and then I just have
4:20
two eggs that we're going to crack in
4:21
and that's all that we need for this
4:28
then you're just going to mix it until
4:30
everything is well combined so once it's
4:33
all combined it's going to be like a
4:34
paste almost so we're going to carefully
4:37
try and just spoon it on spread it out
4:39
as best that we can you've tried to
4:41
spread it out the best you can we're
4:43
going to put the lid on and cook it for
4:45
another hour we're going to keep it on
4:47
low and then we'll we'll test it with a
4:49
toothpick to see how it's how it's doing
4:52
tamalei I'm pretty sure has cooked it's
4:57
good okay looks all cooked looks good
5:01
now we're going to add just a little bit
5:02
of cheese on top and we'll put the lid
5:04
back on we want the cheese to melt we
5:06
don't have to cook it any longer we just
5:07
need melted cheese just going to throw
5:13
bit okay we're going to just let this
5:16
melt for a little bit while we cook the
5:18
other recipe kendra is almost here and
5:22
the last recipe I'm making is our bacon
5:24
wrapped apple barbecue chicken this one
5:27
is good all right so you're first going
5:29
to start with two apples now they said
5:31
to peel them and then to shred them and
5:34
so I will cut mine into pieces you can
5:36
tell I've already been working a little
5:37
bit i will just shred it just like
5:41
this until there isn't much of the the
5:43
middle of the apple left so this is kind
5:45
of like our special sauce we're going to
5:47
finish adding to it so we have about a
5:49
half a cup of barbecue sauce we're going
5:50
to add and if you know me you know that
5:53
I like to eyeball then we have juice
5:56
from one lemon we'll just pour that
5:58
right on top then we're just going to
6:03
up for the next step we're going to take
6:05
our cooking spray spray the bottom just
6:07
to make life a little
6:10
easier now over here we have our bacon
6:14
so we're going to take a piece of
6:15
chicken these are This is a lot of
6:17
chicken and it says to do two pieces of
6:19
bacon per chicken so we're going to try
6:21
our best to wrap it and it doesn't have
6:24
to be a tight wrap we want a little bit
6:26
longer bacon too cuz it will actually
6:30
wrap all right you can see that looks
6:33
good we're just going to put this right
6:34
into the bottom of the slow cooker we
6:36
have to fit four in here so we're kind
6:37
of going to push it to the side
6:50
so now we're going to take our apple
6:51
barbecue sauce and just pour it onto the
6:57
chicken okay then you're just going to
6:59
spread it around just so all the bacon
7:02
is covered all right guys that's it
7:04
that's all you have to do super easy now
7:07
we're going to just grab our slow cooker
7:09
