Chuck roast and slow cookers seem to just go together. But instead of making the same old boring pot roast and carrots with potatoes, try this different flavor and serve it with old fashioned mashed potatoes and green beans on the side for a hearty but healthy alternative. Cranberries are packed full of healthy vitamins and nutrition.
One of our favorite healthy and hearty crockpot recipes for a family dinner was created when my daughter was in an International Fair at her school and we adapted a recipe we found in an African cookbook. It’s yummy and very different, but kids and adults alike enjoy the exotic sweet and savory flavor of this dish.
Want a healthy sauce for pasta, but don’t have time to stay in the kitchen? Prep and forget our hearty meat sauce packed with veggies in the slow cooker.
Similar to a smoothie, the cottage cheese gives this recipe more “body” making it more the consistency of a frozen treat.
Cottage cheese is made by separating the curd (milk solids) from the whey (liquids). You can make your own cottage cheese at home easily and you can control the fat content as well as the moisture content. Do you want to make a spread or dip with cottage cheese? Drain the curd well and limit the cream you add and you’ll have a drier base. Do you love full fat creamy cottage cheese? Start with whole milk and finish with heavy cream (I cannot be held responsible for your heart attack!)
Equipment needed:
Strainer
Cheesecloth
Mixing bowl
Large saucepan
If you enjoy the warmth and comfort of chili on a cold day but would prefer a milder flavor, using chicken, and maybe even a little less indigestion than beef chili is famously known for, this white chili is the perfect slow-cooker recipe.
