Crock Pot Hamburgers
Ingredients:
2 lbs. ground beef
1 cup Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
1 pkg. dry ranch dressing (I used Hidden Valley)
1 pkg. Onion Soup Mix (I used Lipton)
1 egg
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 cup water
Directions:
First, take some foil and crumple it loosely so that it lines the bottom of your crock. I used 3 pieces in total, but you might only need 2. This will keep the burgers from cooking in the grease!
Pour your cup of water in the bottom now as well.
Mix together the ground beef, Bread Crumbs, ranch dressing mix, onion soup mix, egg and Worcestershire sauce.
Form them into patties (3" or so) and place them into your crock like so...
This is where I made 3 foil "strips" by folding pieced of foils loosely, so they would sit gently on top of the other burgers and still allow the ones on top to drain as well. You may choose to skip this step, but I didn't want to risk my burgers sticking together ;)
I then added my next layer of burgers.
Cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-2.5 hours.
Serve on some yummy buns and ENJOY!
Crock Pot Spicy ground beef
Equipment:
Ingredients:
3 lb. lean ground beef (I used lean ground beef from Costco with 9% fat; don't use fatty ground beef since you're not draining the meat)
1/2 - 3/4 cup Cholula hot sauce (Buy the big size bottle at Costco or at a Mexican market for this recipe. For kids, I would definitely use the smaller amount of hot sauce.)
2 T ground cumin
2 T garlic powder
2 T onion powder
1 tsp. coarse grind black pepper (or less, to taste)
salt to taste (I used about 1/2 tsp.)
1/4 cup water (plus 2 T more water as needed if you're using the smaller amount of hot sauce)
Instructions:
I used my 6 quart Ninja Cooker to make this, but it was barely over half full, so any 4 or 5 quart slow cooker will do. (I froze most of my meat, and if you have a really large slow cooker you might even want to increase the recipe.)
Ingredients:
3 lb. lean ground beef (I used lean ground beef from Costco with 9% fat; don't use fatty ground beef since you're not draining the meat)
1/2 - 3/4 cup Cholula hot sauce (Buy the big size bottle at Costco or at a Mexican market for this recipe. For kids, I would definitely use the smaller amount of hot sauce.)
2 T ground cumin
2 T garlic powder
2 T onion powder
1 tsp. coarse grind black pepper (or less, to taste)
salt to taste (I used about 1/2 tsp.)
1/4 cup water (plus 2 T more water as needed if you're using the smaller amount of hot sauce)
Instructions:
Thaw ground beef overnight in the fridge, or if you forget to plan ahead, thaw in hot water for about 20-30 minutes. Spray cooker with non-stick spray, then put the thawed ground beef into the slow cooker, breaking it apart with your hands.
Mix Cholula hot sauce, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and water. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the ground beef and use a large spoon to stir it into the meat.
Cook the meat and spice mixture on high for 3-4 hours. After each hour, remove the lid and use an old-fashioned potato masher to mash the meat mixture about 8-10 times, so that by the time it is done the meat will be finely crumbled. If you're using the smaller amount of hot sauce, you might want to add a couple of tablespoons of water part way through the cooking time. (You can probably cook this for 6-8 hours on low and mash it every couple of hours, but I haven't tried that.)
Use meat mixture to make Taco Salad, Ground Beef Tacos, or Beef Burritos. The meat freezes well. I freeze mine in small containers so I can thaw it quickly in the microwave whenever that Taco Salad craving hits me.

CHICKEN - Tips and Techniques
Chicken Tips & Techniques
Safety:
Always wash hands, preparation surfaces, and utensils in hot, soapy water before and after contact with raw chicken. Never allow cooked chicken to sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours. If it is not eaten immediately, cooked chicken should be kept hot or refrigerated.
Thawing:
Thaw chicken in the refrigerator, in the microwave, or under cold running water - never on the countertop at room temperature, which provides bacteria with an ideal temperature to grow. When thawing chicken in the refrigerator, be sure to place the raw chicken on a plate on the bottom shelf to prevent the raw juices from dripping onto other foods or refrigerator surfaces.
Cutting:
Cutting boneless skinless chicken breasts into pieces can be a slippery task. Make it safer and prevent the knife from slipping by cutting the chicken while it is partially frozen. The firmer chicken is much easier to cut and handle.
Storing:
Packaged fresh chicken should be refrigerated in the coldest part of the refrigerator. Freeze uncooked chicken if it is not to be used within 2 days. If properly packaged, frozen chicken will maintain top quality in a home freezer for up to 6 months.
Freezing:
If you use boneless, skinless chicken breasts often in recipes, package them for the freezer in recipe-size portions. This lets you thaw only the amount you need and prevents extra pieces of raw chicken, which are very perishable, from spoiling.
Cooking:
Always cook chicken until well done, not medium or rare. If using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should register at least 180°F when the thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of one of the thighs. (Make sure the thermometer does not touch the bone.) For chicken breasts, cook to an internal temperature of 170°F. When the chicken is completely cooked, the juices should run clear.
