Be sure to also check out 30+ Dump and Go Slow Cooker Recipes and 40+ Crockpot Chicken Recipes. There’s a little bit of a debate about which kitchen appliance is the best. As much as I do love my air fryer and Instant Pot… I think my Crockpot is my absolute favorite! Listed below are 15 of my most popular highly rated Crockpot recipes that certainly live up to the hype....
Weekend breakfasts are a big deal around here. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day (whether we eat breakfast for breakfast, or breakfast for dinner!) and the rest of the family would probably say the same. We love cooking up something extra special when we have the time! Some of our other favorite recipes are this French Toast Casserole, Breakfast Pizza and these Cinnamon Buns. A few weeks ago I got my copy of the Magnolia Table cookbook and I love it....
Broccoli Rice Casserole with Chicken: If you’ve got leftover turkey or leftover rotisserie chicken, I’ve got the best creamy, comforting casserole for you. This broccoli rice casserole with chicken comes together with just fridge ingredients, plus it lacks condensed soup! It’s not that I’m fundamentally against condensed cream-of-something soups–it’s just that I hardly ever keep them in my house. And you know I’m not heading to the store just for one ingredient to make a meal come together!...
Candy corn rice krispies: Ever since I became a Mom, I’m getting more into celebrating holidays with cute food. I can’t help it, but I was born for the preschool bake sale. Sign me up for anything monster-themed, Disney character-based, or anything that resembles candy, I love to make it! When I was searching for fun candy corn themed desserts to make with Camille, I knew it was all about the brightly colored layers....
So ever since these Chocolate Nutella Cheesecake Bars hit the stage I’ve been thinking about which version was going to be next. I love cheesecake but I don’t usually think to make cheesecake bars. But I love how they are a little more approachable and you can cut them up, freeze them in a big container and they’re so easy to pull out for a snack here and there (and here and there and here and there)....
I don’t get to say THANK YOU enough around here. And before you write this off as some blanket ‘thanks for visiting my site’ letter, please, sit and stay awhile. While I am grateful you are here, there were a lot of people here before you. Mainly, my grandma. She small-batch baked. She was forever cutting recipes in half because it was just her & my grandpa. Even when my Mom was in the house, she made small batch recipes because 3 people don’t need 3 dozen cookies....
How many bites does it take to get to the crust in a slice of coconut cream pie? My guess is 8 or so, depending on the size of your mouth. I made you 8 bites of coconut cream pie to share with one lucky person. Remember when I made y’all baklava and I asked you to put the remaining phyllo sheets back in the freezer for another use? Well, here’s the use for it....
I’ve always believed that brunch is a way to eat dessert for breakfast. If you love the flavors of creme brulee with its rich custard and crispy crackle sugar crust, this brunch recipe can’t be missed! Plus, we’ll do most of the work the day before and let it soak in the fridge overnight! Creme Brulee French Toast, overnight method: After making the custard base, we’ll pour it directly into the dish we will be baking in....
Do you love lasagna as much as we do? Try these Lasagna Roll Ups, this Crockpot Lasagna Soup or this Chocolate Lasagna for dessert! Sharing this Easy Lasagna recipe here on The Recipe Rebel, I’ll admit, is mostly for me. That’s right. I occasionally have purely selfish motives here (and my motives are almost entirely selfish when cheesy pasta is involved 😉 ). The thing is, I realized one day that lasagna is one of those easy dinner ideas I hadn’t yet mastered, because I never use a recipe....
In my never-ending quest to reduce meat consumption while on the Whole30 diet, I turned to the fish section at the grocery store. Sure, I love my salmon and salmon cakes as much as the next person on a diet, but what about a neutral-tasting protein? One that I could slather in a spicy rub and pile on top of a cool and creamy slaw? Enter stage right: cod for fish taco bowls!...
The happiest 8 weeks of my entire year is when The Great British Baking Show releases a new season. My daughter even loves to watch it with me, which I allow because competition shows across the pond are much friendlier. The personality gamut of the contestants is celebrated, flaws and flubs are ignored, and everyone expresses their genuine love of butter and sugar in a contagious manner. I love this show because I learn so much about baking and new desserts....
If you’re a chicken wing lover, then you’ll also love my other chicken wing recipes, like this Baked Chicken Wings, my Air Fryer Chicken Wings recipe, Crockpot Chicken Wings: 3 Ways, and my recipe for the BEST Oven-Fried Chicken! These Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings have the perfect combination of crispy skin and moist chicken meat. Coated in homemade garlic butter parmesan sauce, it’s a game day snack made in heaven that’s perfect for almost any other occasion too!...
Grilling season is here and we couldn’t be more excited! My husband (as cliche as it is) is a big lover of getting outdoors and cooking over a flame — propane, charcoal or wood fired. This summer I was determined to master the best grilled pork tenderloin with a super flavorful marinade, and I think I’ve got it. I love how easily this marinade is to throw together, and then you can stash it in the fridge for up to one day or even in the freezer to pull out when you’re in a pinch....
To be honest, Camille has never had a bowl of macaroni and cheese without broccoli in it. If you start kids out this way, they get used to the ‘green bits’ in most things. Remember when I used to add spinach to her scrambled eggs? But, if you’re not starting there, it’s never too late! I’m constantly trying to improve my Mom game with Camille’s diet. Over the past few months, I’ve health-ified macaroni and cheese to the max....
When I began scaling this recipe down to make just 2 ramekins instead of 6, I assumed it would be an easy job. After cutting everything in half and tasting the results, I knew I was so very wrong. Eggs are tricky things when you’re changing recipes. I imagine eggs cause trouble to anyone who is a recipe developer, not just someone like me who is trying to cut them in half yet still have the recipe turn out identical to the original!...
PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER I’m curious: how often do you guys make your own yeast breads, buns or rolls? For me, I think it actually used to be something I did more often a year or two before (right when I posted these Buttery Bread Machine Rolls), but lately I haven’t been into it that much. It’s easy to find good quality bread and buns these days (and they’re inexpensive, too!...
I want you all to know — I have not broken up with my Instant Pot. We’ve just been taking a little break as I fell back in love with my slow cooker 😉 As this Instant Pot Pot Roast (the best recipe, if you ask me!) is getting more popular, I wanted to come up with another Instant Pot roast recipe that will take you right through the holiday season (and beyond)....
If you’re looking for more veggie-loaded soups, try my Easy Chicken Vegetable Soup, Slow Cooker Creamy Vegetable Soup, this Roasted Red Pepper Soup or my Cabbage Roll Soup next! I know, I know. Here she is…the girl who doesn’t eat vegetables…with an Instant Pot Vegetable Soup recipe. Okay, first of all, I do eat vegetables. I’m just slightly picky about how they’re served. Second, I love soup big time. I will eat just about any soup that comes my way and I absolutely love playing around with soup recipes....
I have a secret confession. I’ve never liked Lemon Bars. It’s weird, because I love everything lemon! But I’ve always found most lemon bars lacking. They turned out kind of crumbly or pasty or just didn’t have an appetizing texture and not nearly enough flavor. But these Lemon Cheesecake Bars? One bite and I was in love. They are sweet, they are tangy. They’ve got a good kick of citrus but the cheesecake layer balances it out perfectly....
I make a lot of carrot cake this time of year. It’s not just for Easter in my house; it’s also the birthday cake of choice for many friends with spring birthdays. We’ve been munching on carrot cake cupcakes, carrot muffins, carrot cake whoopie pies and the like since February. I’m confident that this mini carrot cake is the absolute best carrot dessert to be had. The full-size recipe I used as a reference for scaling down is one of my grandmother’s....
