Overnight Southwestern Crockpot Breakfast

Put some butter at the bottom to prevent the potatoes from getting hard

Shredded Red Potatoes- 4

Mushrooms, Red Peppers, Green Peppers, Onions-2 cups

Add Salt and Pepper if you like

Sausage- 4 links

Eggs- 12

Green Chilies- 1 4 oz. can

Cheese- 2 cups

Set on low for around 5 hours.  I know that is not overnight, but I guess my crockpot cooked faster.  You could try it on warm for a bit. Due to my husbands work schedule I am up at 3:15 and I wanted it to be done for him to be able to eat.   I just turned it off and at 6:30 it was still warm and ready for us to eat for breakfast.  You could always throw a spoon of salsa on it and call it done. :)  Easy enough, right! 

Crockpot Grilled BBQ Steak

What do you do with your left over steak?  Well, if you have any left that is.  These steaks were in the freezer and needed to be cooked.  Every once in a while a pack of meat gets lost in there and in order to save it from the trash we cook it up.  We happened to be grilling that weekend, so I pulled them out so we could grill them.  The next day I put them in crockpot and let the crockpot do all the work.  

 I put them in the pot when I went to bed on low and in the morning they were all done and ready to get shredded and sauced up just in time for my hubby to have some yummy bbq sandwiches for lunch.  

I toasted the buns a little in the toaster oven and Voila, this is what you get!  I wrapped them up and packed them in my husbands lunchbox for work.  He appreciated and loved them so much that is the first thing I heard from him when he got home that night. : )  Score...brownie points for this lady!

Saucy Pulled Pork Sandwich

Crockpot meals are my best friend. When you have more tasks than time in a day. As a stay at home mom, with a busy schedule, I often turn to the crockpot to save the day. Words can not explain the burden of rushing to get a hot and homemade meal for dinner done and walking through the door to the aroma of an already done meal! It makes me oh so content and makes the end of the day even better. Pulled pork is one of the most fabulous meats to let simmer in the crockpot, in my opinion. Pulled pork has so many options, but one of our absolute favorites is a saucy pulled pork sandwich...YUM!

Saucy Pulled Pork Sandwich:

I grabbed a 10 pound Pork Butt and threw it in the crock pot from 9 am until 6pm.....
of course I put it in the most wonderful creation "A CROCKPOT BAG".   When it was done I had a few specialty Budweiser sauces leftover from a holiday pack and poured them in which ended up being around 1 1/2 cup; then I poured about 1 cup of the sweet chili sauce in it.  Two slices of bread lather up with a good amount of mayo and a sprinkle of pepper...its truely a "MMMMM" worthy moment.

Doesn't that look delicious?  It was too! If you have never used a crockpot bag, grab a box on your next store trip and you will be so happy you did.  It saves from so much clean up time. You remove your food and throw the bag away and do a quick wash of your crockpot and that is that.  Basically, you just got a moist, delicious dish by doing nothing...and you don't even have a crockpot to scrub out.  That is a perfect end to a already made meal kind of day...less cleaning!

What have you been cooking in your crock pot?
