Loaded Potato Soup

Loaded Potato Soup - Crockpot

6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped

1 ham steak cut into cubes

3 1/2 cups chicken stock

1 2 pound package frozen hash brown squares

1 onion peeled & sliced

1/3 cup flour

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded cheddar

1 12oz can evaporated milk

4 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Add bacon, ham, chicken stock, potatoes and onion to crockpot. Mix to combine. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until potatoes are fully cooked and tender.

Once it's cooked and ready to serve melt the butter in a small pan and gradually wish in the flour. When that is completely blended, whisk in the evaporated milk and whisk until completely smooth. Bring it to a simmer. It will get REALLY thick.

Immediately pour the mixture into the crockpot and stir to combine it with the potatoes, broth, onion, ham and bacon. Make sure it's completely blended together. Then add in your sour cream, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Stir until well combined. Taste. Add pepper and salt as needed.

We topped with thinly sliced green onions and a bit more cheddar cheese.. You could also add more bacon and sour cream too if you'd like.

Marry Me Meatballs

I can’t say no to crockpot recipes and Your Barefoot Neighbor shared this one so I had to try it. I’d like to say my children aren’t picky but they all have their own quirks when it comes to food and my youngest daughter didn’t care for the sun-dried tomatoes. Everyone else enjoyed it as it is. Marry Me Meatballs Ingredients 2 lbs frozen Italian meatballs 4 C chicken stock 1 jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped 1 can cream of chicken soup Italian seasoning Garlic powder Onion powder Red pepper flakes 2 lbs gnocchi (shelf stable ones) 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream Baby spinach Shredded Parmesan cheese (I used shaved Parmesan) Directions Add meatballs, chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, sun-dried tomatoes and seasonings to crockpot. Cook on high for 3 hours. When that is done add in your gnocchi, heavy cream and baby spinach and cook for another 30 minutes on high. Top with the Parmesan cheese. Serve with garlic toast.

Sausage & Rice Casserole

Last night we failed to pull anything out of the freezers for dinner. Seems to be a common thing here in this house and it’s quite frustrating. I went to my fridge and saw the mushrooms I had gotten and remembered there was a TikTok recipe for them. Y’all this was the EASIEST meal! Sausage & Rice Casserole Ingredients 1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage 2 pouches of Uncle Ben’s long grain and wild rice 1 1/2 C. Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese, shredded 1 can of golden mushroom soup 1 package of sliced mushrooms Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown sausage, add in mushrooms once almost all the way cooked. While that’s cooking down, pop your rice pouches in the microwave per the instructions. When they’re done add them in with the sausage and mushrooms. Also add in your can of golden mushroom soup and the shredded cheese. Mix it all up and put in the oven for 15 minutes.
