Spaghetti Sauce II

When I threw this together I was just looking for something different from my other favorite recipe. It was so good, I can’t wait to make it again. It was thick and delicious. I did make this again without the Italian sausage (it’s not something I often have on hand) and it was still very […]

Sweet or White Potatoes in the Crockpot

While sweet potatoes aren’t often something that take *forever* to cook, sometimes it’s nice to cook them without having to think about it, take up space on the stove, heat your kitchen, or have them ready for an early breakfast. We love mashed sweet potato for breakfast. It’s filling, warm and nutritious! This method words […]

Bourbon Chicken

This recipe was originally a crockpot recipe but I wanted to try it and forgot to put it in the crockpot this morning. So as with most crockpot recipes, you can tweek it and cook it on the stovetop or in the oven. It was delicious. It will be made again. My husband said that […]

This is one of my favorite ways to prepare a roast. It always comes out perfect and with it cooking in the crockpot, I am free to do other things.

Venison Sloppy Joes (crockpot & skillet)

You could probably use ground beef with this, but I also have a sloppy joe recipe I love to use with ground beef I can share, too.

I prefer using ground venison, but if you are crockpotting this you could use stew meat which will cook down into shreds over time.

Ingredients:

1/4c bacon fat […]
