I’ve made these Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin Tacos on repeat lately.  They make the easiest weeknight meal, and they are so good and healthy too!  We are really into the uncooked tortillas lately.  My kids like to cook them up really quick.  You can find these with all the other tortillas.

I top mine with a fresh pico and some freshly shredded Colby Jack.  You can make this really low carb if you want with a lettuce wrap or use a low carb tortilla. 

What do you need to make these tacos?

• pork tenderloin
  I love to use a pork tenderloin.  It cooks up beautifully in the slow cooker too!
• Creole seasoning
  Seasoned salt works great too.
• taco seasoning packet
• jarred jalapeno juice
• fresh jalapeno
• water
• shredded cheese
  I like to use Colby Jack
• tortillas
  Use your favorite tortilla here.  We like to buy the “uncooked” ones found with the other tortillas.  You can also use low carb tortillas or corn tortillas.  I even like a lettuce wrap too!
• Toppings:  shredded lettuce, sour cream, avocado
• Pico de Gallo:  I make my own with roma tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno, and salt

I’m happy to share these Slow Cooker Southern Cheesesteak sandwiches with you!  I’ve been working on getting these right for a while.  My family has been patient with me.  Ha!  And I’m pleased to report that everyone was happy with their cheesesteak sandwich last night!

This dinner idea couldn’t be easier to throw together, and it smells so amazing!  It’s got all those ingredients we love down here in Louisiana… onions, bell peppers, garlic, creole seasoning.  And a few jarred peppers for some spice is always nice!

Slow cooker recipes like this one make me feel like I’m totally winning at life.  It’s the perfect recipe for busy school nights!  

Tips for making Slow Cooker Cheesesteak Sandwiches:

• I like to change up the cheese for my kiddos.  They prefer shredded Colby Jack on their sandwich.
• Out of beef broth?  Make your own by using 4 beef boullion cubes to 30 oz of boiling water and let cool slightly before adding to slow cooker.
• Serve these panini-style.  Slice up some french bread into 1 inch slices.  Grill and press them down in a skillet for a hot-pressed panini sandwich instead.

Y’all, this slow cooker breakfast casserole has changed our Sunday morning routine!  My kids love to go eat after we go to Mass on Sundays, but lately that is just not a good option with the state of our post-hurricane area.  Restaurants are either closed or packed with lines.  

So the option to have breakfast waiting on us when we return home from church is so appealing!  This Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole has been an excellent new tradition!

My kids like the sweet Hawaiian rolls in this recipe, but you can totally substitute regular french bread or even croissants!

Tips for making Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole:

• Do all the work the night before for this recipe.  It needs to set up in the fridge overnight.
• Use whatever kind of bread you have!  French bread and croissants work great too!
• Want breakfast ready for earlier?  Set that alarm and simply take it out of the fridge and set it in the slow cooker for 3 hours.  Head back to bed!!
• We like to set ours before church around 7:00 am, so that it is ready for us when we return home around 10:30.

Slow cooker suppers are life savers right now, and I can see this Simple Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Sandwiches in our future several times this school year.  Getting back into this routine after 7 months and a hurricane kind of throws you off your game a little to say the least.

This recipe has a sauce that comes from my grandmother.  It’s super easy to mix together and I’m pretty sure you probably have everything for it!  

I love how slow cooker recipes make me feel like I’m winning at life.  It’s the little things lately that count.  Thankfully, our school was spared major damage from Hurricane Laura, and we are able to be back in session.  The joy from both the teachers and students can be felt!  We are all ready for a routine that doesn’t include staying home!

Tips for making these Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Sandwiches:

• Get your roast seasoned and your sauce ingredients mixed the night before you cook it.  This makes throwing it together on busy mornings even easier!
• Use a slow cooker liner for easier clean up.
• We served ours with curly fries because who doesn’t love a curly fry, but you could serve it along side coleslaw, green beans, or a green salad for a healthier option.

Oh my goodness!  This Overnight Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal recipe is seriously going down as one of my favorites folks.  I was giddy with how delicious it came out!  I’m dreaming of making it again soon as I type this post for you guys!

How great is waking up to breakfast already made?!!  It’s FABULOUS!  I felt so accomplished which is exactly what I need in life right now since we are FINALLY back to school.

Let’s talk about how good it was.  If you haven’t tried steel cut oats, let this recipe be your reason to try them.  They make a huge difference and the oatmeal is so creamy!  I love topping each portion with a little more brown sugar, sliced almonds for crunch, and a little milk.

I’m bringing back an oldie but a goodie for you guys today!  This Crockpot Hoppin’ John was first published on my blog back in 2013.  It deserved a little updating and attention because it really is one of my favorite easy recipes.

And I’m all about easy recipes with back to school life right now.  So I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Original Post from 2013:
This is a super simple recipe given to me by a friend several years ago.  I love crock pot recipes that turn out great (because I’ve made my share that don’t). This one is a nice change from the usual Red Beans and Sausage I like to make.  It uses can black-eyed peas, but I’m sure you could use dry beans by just soaking them overnight before putting them in the crock pot.

Crockpot Hoppin' John

Yield: 6 to 8

Print

Ingredients

• 1 chopped onion
• 1 chopped bell pepper
• 1 can (MILD) Rotel or diced tomatoes
• 1 can beef broth
• 3 cans black-eyed peas
• 1 lb. of sausage (sliced)
• cooked rice for serving

Instructions

1. Add onion, bell pepper, Rotel, beef broth, black-eyed peas, and sausage to the crockpot.
2. Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours.
3. Serve over cooked rice.

Notes

Substitute diced tomatoes for the Rotel if you prefer less spice.

Sweet potatoes have always been one of my favorite side dishes.  They are so versatile and perfect any time of year in my opinion.  Not only are they my go-to potato option when I’m trying to eat slim and trim, but they are one of my favorite holiday side dishes.  Every year during the holidays, I look forward to all those sweet cinnamon flavors of sweet potato casserole.

And last year, I was put in charge of it.  And let’s just say, I may have added an extra cup of sugar on accident.  I realized it as I went to put it in the oven, and there was no way I was starting over on the dish.  I brought it to my sister’s house that day and told her she may want to put it on the dessert table.  But no worries!  It was sweet…but it was good too 🙂

But I’ve recently discovered how much I like sweet potatoes on the savory side too.  They really are a blank canvas, and that’s what makes them so great!  And putting potatoes in the crock pot has become my new thing.  I had never tried a potato in a slow cooker until last year.  Boy did that change things for me in the kitchen.  I love that the slow cooker can cook anything from breakfast to dinner to dessert.  It’s a working mom’s best friend for sure.  My co-workers and I always talk about what new recipe we’ve tried in our crock pot.  I can’t wait to share this one with them!

This recipe is quick, easy, and delicious.  The hardest part about it is peeling the potatoes.  After that, it’s literally throw it all in a bowl and stir.  It doesn’t take long for those wonderful garlic Parmesan flavors to fill your home either!  Hope you enjoy!
