Slow Cooker
Sweet and Sour Meatballs
This is one of those recipes that is super easy but is always a hit! Only three ingredients and a slow cooker and you have a delicious dinner on the table that everyone loves. Serve these meatballs over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Once you try them, you will be a lifetime fan.
Sweet Pork Tacos
This is by far the most requested dinner at my house! For sure in our top 5 dinners. The sweet pork is a copycat recipe of Cafe Rio's pork (although I think this is even better). Tacos made with this delicious pork, a homemade cilantro ranch dressing, and semi-homemade taco shells are the best! We keep them simple and just top them with cheese, lettuce, sliced olives, and the cilantro dressing, but that is totally up to you! If you are needing something new to try, I highly recommend this dinner. It's a no fail, easy, but DELICIOUS way to do tacos!
Cuban Pork Roast with Coconut Rice and Mango
This slow cooked dinner is full of so many delicious flavors! The pork is cooked all day with black beans, sweet potatoes, and red pepper in coconut milk, then served alongside coconut rice and freshly cut mango. It's not only extremely tasty, but healthy too! It makes a beautiful presentation on the plate, so you can feel fancy when serving to guests, although you'll quickly find out how easy this is to make!
Barbacoa Beef Bowls
Barbacoa beef bowls are so easy but taste like a restaurant quality dish! The beef is extremely flavorful after cooking in a slow cooker all day. It has just the right amount of heat that goes so well with cilantro lime rice. We love these bowls topped with black beans, corn, salsa, avocados, cilantro, and cilantro lime dressing. A meal everyone loves that you will happily serve to family and friends.
Pepperoncini Beef Sandwiches
Do you love sandwiches that require minimal effort, but taste like restaurant quality? These are exactly that! The beef cooks with a jar of pepperoncini's and garlic all day, you shred it, and serve it on toasted buns with melted Swiss cheese and mayo..... oh my! It's so delicious and I've never met anyone who didn't love it. It's a great dinner to serve a crowd, and goes with any of your favorite sides!
Calico Beans
This easy meal has always been a staple recipe in our house. My kids used to joke that if they smelled it cooking, they knew we were having people over for dinner. It really is a great meal to serve with dinner guests because everyone loves it! It cooks in a slow cooker for just an afternoon. I usually put it together at lunchtime, then when dinner rolls around you just prepare the toppings and serve! It's another recipe that first came to mind when my kids were diagnosed with celiac disease since it is a naturally gluten free dinner and a kid favorite that they will request time and again. I'm excited to share this with you!
