I had Sloppy Joes once when I was a kid, it was at my friend's house, and I wasn't into them. I remember it being really sweet, and gross. So, when I got the America's Test Kitchen cookbook a few years ago, I didn't even look at the recipe, but then I was curious as to what was actually in it. Upon reading the recipe, It seemed super simple and tasty....so I'm not sure what the problem was when I was a kid. Anyway, I tried the recipe with my family, and it's quick, super easy and delicious. It goes really well on the Soft Pretzel Buns. To keep the cooking to a minimum, serve it with a fresh garden salad.

This Beef Stew Recipe is perfect for the colder weather! Tender beef is simmered in a crock pot until melts in your mouth tender. It’s comfort food heaven!

Developed this recipe for the family, slightly sweet, mild spice, can easily be made hotter by adding in some diced chilies or a diced jalapeño. Just throw it in the pot and forget about it! Good great with the cornbread recipe

I saw some beef shank at the store. Never cooked beef shank before. Seemed like a good idea. It's got a chunk of marrow bone in it, so the Crock-Pot was an easy decision. Turned out pretty awesome. The little lady served it over rice with avocado.

I love sloppy Joes and have always just bought the sauce in a can. I saw a recipe on Chili Pepper Madness for making it from scratch and it turned out great. I always prefer my sloppy Joe over angel hair pasta, but it is traditionally served in a bun.

I wanted to recreate the stew I had in Ireland. It took a few tries but I got it down! Enjoy!

We love sloppy joes in rolls and just on pasta this is a fun tasty change!

Two recipes in one. To make yogurt just drain it for an hrs after it’s done. For Greek yogurt, drain it in the refrigerator overnight. There is no sugar or fruits added, can add all that stuff later as needed, I didn’t want my big batch to be just one flavor, I wanted to use it For different things, like (To make a flavor batch just get the flavor yogurt with live culture, like vanilla for example )for cooking, so it’s all plain . I made yogurt and I took the other half and made Greek yogurt. If you don’t want a big batch I put that in here too. When making this , do not peek at it, or remove lid at anytime. The only time this lid comes off is the step where you add the starter yogurt and that’s it, I can’t stress this enough as it will not work if that lid comes off , even for a sneak peek and you wasted all that time. There is nothing to making just time. If you have other people in the house when this is being made, make sure everyone knows not to touch it , or remove that lid, or the towel in that last step, if you have to put a do not touch note on it. I watched 3 videos on how to do this before i attempted this , I will put them in the notes below for anyone who wants a better understanding before trying this. I highly recommend watching them , the first one is about 8 mins the other one is 19 mins long.

😋 I recently made a Big Mac salad, and discovered that everyone in my house likes Big Macs lol! So with not wanting to heat up drive through, I make stuff at home, it’s safer and cheaper that way anyways. I came up with added a sloppy joe and a Big Mac together , iam not a fan of sloppy joe but my husband is, and everyone loves Big Macs . Something new and different. I haven’t made many new things , but Iam currently working on getting new recipes back out. ( was a big heat at my house, definitely adding this to our monthly menu plan) this made 6 sandwiches, I recommend doubling it if you want more than one sandwich, we are a family of 5 , and it was a fight on who got the last one...https://youtu.be/a79pAYWaj2w

If you've got vegetables that need to be used in the next couple days, this is a great recipe for that.

It's Yankee Pot Roast in the Crockpot. With "Stew Packette".
