Crockpot Make Ahead Ground Beef

So you are wondering "How to cook ground beef in a crockpot"? Here's my little short cut for time saving weekday cooking and also several time saving weeknight dinner ideas too! A few weeks ago I posted my Lazy Day Chili recipe and suggested that you use pre-cooked ground beef to cut the preparation time. I received a lot of emails asking how I prepare mine.
s my little short cut for time saving weekday cooking and also several time saving weeknig Crockpot Make Ahead Ground Beef



It is not uncommon to see 3 or 4 crockpots going at the same time at my house. Time just seems to get away from us and after having to stop for fast food one too many times I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I love to make shredded chicken to have it on hand for quick burritos, salads, bbq chicken sandwiches and other easy lunch and dinners.

Then, I also started making ground beef  ahead so I have plenty of options on a busy night. Like on nights we don't get home from TaeKwonDo until 7:00pm and we didn't get to eat before we left. I grab a package of precooked ground beef out of the freezer and toss it in a pot with spaghetti sauce and boil some pasta. Viola! Dinner in 10 minutes.

Some of my favorites made with 1 pound precooked ground beef:

Quick and Easy Sloppy Joes - add 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, onion and garlic powder and precooked ground beef. Simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Meat Sauce Marinara - combine spaghetti sauce and precooked ground beef in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Prepare pasta. Serve and enjoy!

Flautas - combine ground beef, 4 ounces cream cheese, 4 ounces salsa, 4 ounces shredded Colby Jack cheese.  Lay out 4 (6 inch flour) tortillas at a time and add 1-2 tablespoons of mixture to the lower 1/3 of the tortilla. Roll the taquito tightly without tearing the tortilla.  Place taquitos seam side down on the baking sheet.  Repeat until the baking sheet is full, being careful not to allow the taquitos to touch.  Spray taquitos with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt.  Bake 15-20 minutes until the tortillas are crisp or the ends begin to brown. 

Check out below for more recipes and ideas. What are your favorite ways to use pre-cooked ground beef?

A spin on the classic all-America breakfast casserole frees up your morning by letting the crockpot do all the work for you. Simply toss the ingredients in the slow cooker and wake up to a piping hot crowd pleasing breakfast.



    We are so excited to be partnering with our friends at Jones Dairy Farm to bring you a scrumptious brunch recipe perfect for Easter Brunch, starring one of my favorite ingredients.


    Nothing says 'holiday' like starting the day with a special breakfast. Whether it is Easter, Christmas, Father's Day or a birthday I love starting the day off a spectacular meal. As I have shared many times, I am not much of a morning person. Which kind of throws a wrench in my plans.

    Although I have finally gotten a morning routine down so that I get up at 5AM each day. Yay me! That said, I still only cook hot breakfast on the weekends after I have had a chance to have a few cups of coffee.

    Enter the time-saving holiday (and every day) meal plan. Slow Cooker Overnight Breakfast Casserole.  I love being able to make a casserole overnight while I sleep. I mean does it really get much better than that?


    It does! How about a meal filled with 'real ingredients' that you mix together and then go to bed. You wake up to a scrumptious hot breakfast waiting for you. Even the one convenience ingredient in this recipe, fully cooked Chicken Sausage from Jones Dairy Farm, is all natural with no nitrates or nitrites, no MSG and no preservatives. Ok wait for it.... And it tastes amazing!



    With sausage loaded with that much flavor I knew we needed this amazing Overnight Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole to be bursting with bold flavors. It all starts with hash browns and an Italian flavor explosion in every decadent bite! Slow cooked sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese come together overnight to create a divine breakfast casserole that is impressive enough for a holiday brunch by simple enough for every day breakfast.

    Slow Cooker Overnight Breakfast Casserole Slow Cooker Overnight Breakfast Casserole

    Truly a flavor explosion in every bite! Our family and friends have devouring this recipe and I can't stop eating it, myself. Looks like I know what's for Easter breakfast!

    And I am sure I will get a ton of emails so, I will let you all know that you can pick up Jones Dairy Farm Breakfast Sausage in the freezer section at your retailer, nationwide or check out their locator.

    Enjoy!

    =================================================================


    Overnight Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole
    SERVES 8 | ACTIVE TIME 20 Min | TOTAL TIME 6 Hours 20 Min

    Slow Cooker Overnight Breakfast Casserole Slow Cooker Overnight Breakfast Casserole

    12 large eggs
    1 cup heavy cream (or half and half)
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    1 (20 ounce) bag refrigerated hash browns
    1 (5 ounce) package Jones Dairy Farm fully cooked chicken sausage links, sliced into coins
    8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
    4 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
    1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes, divided
    1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, divided
    cooking spray

    Spray a slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. I used a 6 quart crockpot. Set aside.

    In a medium bowl or 4 cup measuring cup combine eggs and cream. Whisk until well combined. Sprinkle spices (onion powder, salt and both peppers) over egg mixture while whisking. Whisk until completely combined. Set aside.

    In slow cooker, combine all of the hash browns and about 1/2 of each of the remaining ingredients (Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, sliced sausage links, sun-dried tomatoes and basil). Using fingers, gently toss hash brown mixture until combined. Pour egg mixture over casserole. If necessary use a spatula to smooth out the top.

    Set aside about 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese (approximately 2 ounces). Sprinkle the remaining reserved ingredients over the top of the casserole. Cover the slow cooker and cook for 6-8 hours on low or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the casserole reads 160°F. Once the center of the casserole is cooked through, it is done.


    Sprinkle casserole with remaining cheese, serve and enjoy!

       It will give you tons of possibilities and its prepared in the slow cooked with very litt Crockpot Shredded Chicken



    Things just seem to get busier and busier no matter how hard I try and busy leads to not having 30 minutes to cook dinner or time to shop for ingredients. That lands us in a drive thru. I didn't realize how much we were having fast food until we looked over our statements. It was like every other day for 2 weeks.

    That is when I decided I had to take more time to pull together some make ahead items. So that way, on those insanely busy days I could still manage dinner and feel good about it.  I have made this make ahead crockpot shredded chicken recipe 3 times in the last month and I have to tell you it has come in handy so many times, I can't even count.


    This Saturday we spent all afternoon and evening at the park. Munchkin and her friends were riding mini ATV's, Chad was flying his drone and playing frisbee with the guys and I was taking in some mommy time and holding down the fort while I got in some great conversation with friends.

    Before we knew it, we couldn't see 5 feet in front of us and it was almost 8 o'clock.  So, we headed home and unloaded the crew. I had a hungry group on my hands and nothing planned for dinner. I reached in the fridge and pulled out a container of shredded chicken and whipped up some of the best sandwiches we have ever had.

       is a perfect hearty and comforting soup Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup

      Easy Minestrone Soup

      If you have ever ordered the Minestrone Soup from Olive Garden you know that minestrone soup is packed full of so much goodness and flavor. This minestrone soup is one of the easiest soups you'll ever make! You'll need to slice and dice a few fresh vegetables, but otherwise, you'll just dump everything into the crockpot and a few hours later you're almost ready to have this delicious soup for dinner.

      The last 30 minutes before you're ready to eat you'll throw in some of your favorite small pasta noodles, zucchini, and some canned beans. At the last second toss in some fresh spinach if desired.

      Hi! It's Aimee from Like Mother, Like Daughter - where I'm all over sharing my favorite easy family dinners and desserts. I'm back again today sharing one of my favorite soups with you, and even better? It's made in the slow cooker!

       is a perfect hearty and comforting soup Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup

      How do you make this Minestrone Soup Recipe?

      One great thing about this minestrone soup recipe is it's a great way to clean out your fridge and pantry. Use a bunch of leftover vegetables from your fridge, and some canned foods from your pantry! You can use any vegetables you have or any types of beans you have. Vegetable broth or chicken broth. And any small pasta noodles you have on hand!

      This minestrone soup is one of those ultimate winter comfort foods. It's easy to make, and so nice to have a piping hot bowl of soup ready to eat at the end of a long day! You might also like this Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup.

      Helpful Tips to Make Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup:

      • You can make substitutions for all the ingredients based on what you have on hand! Use any pasta noodles, chicken broth instead of vegetable, almost any canned beans, and a variety of vegetables.
      • Save time, by chopping your vegetables up the night before, so all you have to do in the morning is throw everything into the crockpot.
      • To freeze, bring the soup to room temperature and store in airtight containers. To serve, thaw in the refrigerator and warm over medium heat. The pasta may break apart when you reheat it, so if you are making it for the freezer, leave out the pasta until you heat it up.

      What you will need to make Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup:

      • A Slow Cooker - I like mine that is programmable so it’ll only run as long as I want it to then it turns to warm, so food doesn't get overcooked.
      • A Ladle - perfect for scooping out big bowls of soup!

      Enjoy!

      Crockpot White Chicken Chili

      Crockpot White Chicken Chili  is an easy dinner recipe idea for busy weeknights.  Tender chicken slow cooked with zesty spices and white beans - topped with cheese, chips, cilantro and sour cream. Yum!

       is an easy dinner recipe idea for busy weeknights Crockpot White Chicken Chili

      Crockpot White Chicken Chili

      Sometimes it’s nice to mix things up and serve a white chili instead of a traditional tomato based one.  There’s something special about the way all the flavors meld together into a yummy comforting dinner that’s sooo easy.

      It’s Erin from Suburban Simplicity back this month with a family-favorite for you! We love this Crockpot White Chicken Chili because it’s so easy and also delicious the next day for lunch!

      This recipe couldn’t be more simple.  I just got a new crockpot because my previous one was worn out from so much use!  This was the first recipe I couldn’t wait to make in the new one. The next will be my kid’s favorite - Crockpot Pizza Casserole. For the chili, you simply place all the ingredients, except the beans, corn, and cream cheese (if you’re using) into your slow cooker and let it simmer for 6 hours on low, or 4 hours on high.

      About a half hour before it’s done, you can then add the corn, cream cheese (if using) and beans. Once it’s finished cooking, you take out the tender chicken, shred it and place it back into the crockpot to serve.

      It’s time to ladle it into some bowl and top with any of the suggested yummy toppings including cheese, jalapeños, and chips!

       is an easy dinner recipe idea for busy weeknights Crockpot White Chicken Chili

      Helpful Tips to make Crockpot White Chicken Chili:

      • You can use either chicken breasts or chicken thighs in this recipe, or a combination of both.
      • This is a flavorful but mild chili, so If you prefer it spicier, feel free to add some jalapeños while the recipe is cooking in addition to adding them as a garnish. 
      • Depending on your preference, you can either leave the chicken in larger chunks or shred it once it’s done cooking.
      • The cream cheese is optional. If you want a creamier chili, add it to the crockpot 30 minutes before it’s done cooking.
      • For thicker chili, blend the liquid with an immersion blender before you put back in your shredded or chunked chicken. 

      What you will need to make Crockpot White Chicken Chili:

      • Crockpot - this kitchen appliance is a must have any time of the year for set it and forget it recipes.
      • Ladle - great for serving soups, stews and chili recipes.
      Enjoy!

      Slow Cooker Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches

      Take your pulled pork to the next level with these Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sandwiches! They are the perfect combination of tangy and sweet with a pineapple barbecue sauce that will rock your world!!! Fully loaded, they are the perfect anytime sandwich.
       Take your pulled pork to the next level with these  Slow Cooker Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches
      These Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sandwiches are the perfect laid back dinner that is easy to make but tastes like a million bucks.

      Plus, with the weather being hotter than Hades, using the slow cooker instead of the oven is a definite plus.

      Hello friends! Melanie here again from Garnish & Glaze to share an awesome summer sandwich with you.


      I do love a good classic pulled pork sandwich but sometimes you've gotta switch things up a bit and add some more color and texture. After trying this sandwich, I don't think you'll go back to the ordinary one not to mention the other Hawaiian inspired recipes you can find here.

      The first step is elevating the flavor of the slow cooker pulled pork. Instead of cooking the pork with water or soda, you'll pour in some pineapple juice.

      This adds sweetness as well as more of a Hawaiian flavor profile. You'll also add pineapple juice to the barbecue sauce and cook it down so it thickens.


      I'm not a big fan of coleslaw as a side dish but it's a must on shredded meat sandwiches like my
      Buffalo Chicken Sliders and pulled pork sandwiches.

      I love that it balances out the sweetness of the sauce, adds freshness, color, and texture. Yes, it gets a bit messy but only the best foods are, right?!

      The last component of this sandwich that really gives it the Hawaiian feel is the pineapple, grilled pineapple.


      If you've ever been to one of those meat-lovin Brazilian restaurants I'm sure you've tried that delicious, sweet, buttery grilled pineapple.

      It's seriously my favorite way to eat pineapple and tastes amazing with pork. It seems a little strange to put pineapple on a sandwich but it totally works. You'll love it!

       Take your pulled pork to the next level with these  Slow Cooker Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches

      Helpful Tips to make Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sandwiches:

      • Plan ahead! Since you're working with the slow cooker, be sure to put the pork in sometime in morning so it has enough time to cook and get tender. It will take you all of 5 minutes to throw it in there so no excuses.
      • Make the barbecue sauce during the morning or day when you have time or at least 15 minutes before you're ready to shred the meat.
      • I recommend using a spicy barbecue sauce that isn't already too sweet. My go-to is Open Pit (Original). It's a great base and I'm able to add as much sugar as I want and tone down the heat by adding a little ketchup.
      • Buy the pineapple juice in small 6 ounces cans. They sell them in a set of 8. This way you won't waste any or have to store a big bottle of pineapple juice in the fridge. But if you do buy it in a bottle and don't know what to do with the rest, use it in smoothies!
      • Use fresh pineapple. After cutting off the skin, slice the pineapple into rings. Use a small round biscuit or cookie cutter to remove the middle core.
      • For a more colorful coleslaw, make your own mix of green and purple cabbage and carrots. Sometimes stores will make fresh coleslaw mixes and have them in next to the refrigerated salad dressings.

      What you will need to make Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sandwiches:

      • Slow Cooker- Every home needs a slow cooker. I love using it in the summer so I don't heat up the whole house and it is just makes cooking so much easier because you just set it and let it do all the work.
      • Small Sauce Pan- I use my small sauce pan all the time for steaming vegetables to making all kinds of delicious sauces for dinner and desserts.
      • Grill Pan- I love having a grill pan for small things like the pineapple in this dish or for the winter. You still get the beautiful grill marks without having to heat up the whole grill and walk in and out of the house.

      Enjoy!

      With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
