🥕 My Little Crock Pot Earns Its Keep Tonight

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Hi there Reader,

I love putting side dishes in the crock pot, especially when the main dish already has me using the oven.

I actually keep a small crock pot just for sides, and it earns its keep around here. I pull it out for holidays, but I use it during the week too when I want one less thing to watch on the stove.

Tonight I’m making a cozy ground beef and rice casserole, letting glazed carrots take care of themselves in the crock pot, and finishing everything off with lemon lush for dessert.

One easy main, one hands-off side, and something sweet at the end. That sounds like a pretty good supper to me.

Kitchen Confession

My carrots were still cold when I poured the melted butter over them, and it hardened right up on contact. Looked like a mess.

Three hours later, you would never know. This is one of those recipes that fixes itself while you're not looking.

📌 Don't forget: You can change the serving size in the recipe card.

Have a good day! Julie ❤️

Happy Cooking! Julie Pollitt

Hi there Reader, When you hear “just five ingredients,” do your ears perk up too? If you’re like me, you don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen—or hunt down 20 ingredients you’ll never use again. That’s why I think you’ll love this recipe: chances are, you already have everything you need. If you keep a bottle of BBQ sauce in the pantry (I always do—it’s a lifesaver), you’re halfway there. This Crock Pot chicken comes out tender and juicy, smothered in that sweet, tangy BBQ sauce we all...
