7 EASY & HEALTHY CROCKPOT MEALS: 5 INGREDIENTS OR LESS RECIPES ON A BUDGET

Hey guys, it is about 6.15 in the morning and I am prepping my first crock pot meal. This one is very plain and simple, it's just a roast with carrots and potatoes. My family loves this meal, it's super easy for me and it makes a lot of food. Alright, it's been a full work day, I'd say it's been like 10 hours, anyways, it's been like 10 hours and it's looking really good. It's been about 10 hours, potatoes are done, carrots are done and you can literally pick apart your meat, you don't even need a knife, that's how tender it should be and you're good to go. You can eat it with just like butter bread, you can eat it on a sandwich, you can eat it as is, it's super good too. Alright guys, so the second meal I'm going to show you is breakfast casserole, super easy and quick. I'm actually going to do this right now, let it cook all night so that it's ready in the morning and I'm going to divide this up into like portion containers so that I can use for breakfast throughout the week for me or my husband or if my kid's on the weekend. It is the day after and my instant pot has been on the whole night, I don't really know if that's dangerous, I mean I know it totally happens and this is us but I just put it on slow cook the whole night and it looks really good. It actually has an hour and 20 minutes left but I wanted to turn it off before I went to work. Look how yummy! So good! Good morning, it is like 6am and I'm going to do another crock pot meal. This is like meatballs and it was supposed to be meatballs and ravioli but I didn't like the ravioli that Aldi had so I bought Ling Tortellini. So all you need for this recipe, two cans of tomato pasta sauce, tortellini, this one's cheese and meatball. Good morning, today is day... I'm going to be showing you today how to make chicken salsa, super easy, all you need is chicken and your favorite jar of salsa. Alright so for this meal I really like to cook up a bunch of instant pot rice, I use tortillas and we do chicken salsa tortillas and I usually do a thing of corn and black beans because the kids like it but very simple, add some cheese, sour cream, look that's my plate! That's my plate! You're so silly. Actually wait, that's your brother's. But I like to add sour cream, cheese, guacamole, chips, salsa and everybody's happy. Good morning again, I am making the meal for today and today it is frito pie which I also use the same recipe today for just chili so if you don't want to do frito pie you could just do chili, you could make rice to go with it, you could just have the chili by itself and have it with cornbread but I'm going to do a frito pie because it's not winter anymore but it's really simple, there's only like 5 ingredients in the chili and then you can just add fritos and cheese and jalapenos, whatever toppings you would like. So I have a whole 2 pound block of ground beef, I'm going to ground it all and use half of it for this and use the other cooked half for a recipe tomorrow. So that's what I'm going to do first. Alright, it's Saturday and I'm still doing a slow cooker meal. This one is homemade hamburger helper, much healthier than the boxed you can buy though. Alright guys, so it's been probably like 6 hours. And the meal is done but I'm going to add a little bit of flour into it to thicken it because it's kind of runny and then I'm going to add in a pound of my noodles, about a pound and this is going to cook in there for like 20-30 minutes until this is done and then it's ready to serve. You can add your cheese and whatever other toppings you'd like. Alright guys, it is the last meal that I'm showing you and today we're going to do slow cooker lo mein and I'm going to do it with chicken thighs. You can do this with pork, even beef but it's like a Chinese dish and I'm going to do it in the instant pot slow cooker method because my regular slow cooker is dirty. So you can buy the regular fresh produce for this, chop it for this meal but you can do something a lot simpler. I have a pound of chicken that was from the other meal that I had left over and I have a packet of oriental stir fry. So this is what I'm going to use. I'm going to use the sauce in here with the chicken all day and you need like lo mein noodles. So it's an easy one and it tastes really good. Do you like it? Turned out so good. It's one of the easiest meals. Alright guys, I really hope you enjoyed simple meals, easy to have cooking when you're at work so that you don't have to do anything.
