Crock Pot Cheesy Potato Soup

Crock Pot Cheesy Potato Soup I’ve been on a real soup-kick lately and this ultra-creamy crock pot cheesy potato soup recipe is one that my whole family loves. Crock Pot Cheesy Potato Soup Recipe Before anyone says it, yes, I know that Crock Pot is a brand name and that most people these days say slow cooker instead. I just can’t help it, y’all. A crock pot is a crock pot to me, even if it’s not a Crock Pot. Who’s confused? HA! If you’re interested, this is the Crock Pot I use the most in my own kitchen. No matter what you call the magical kitchen appliance that it’s cooked in, you’re going to love this cheesy and delicious potato soup recipe. The pound of Velveeta cheese in this soup pretty much means it tastes perfect. Yep, I said it. This potato soup is perfect! This soup actually reminds me of the cheddar baked potato soup from Bob Evans which I’ve been obsessed with for many years. I love to add some fresh chopped green onions and crispy crumbled bacon to the top of my crock pot ch...

SHEPHERD’S PIE

Image
SHEPHERD’S PIE ost is sponsored by the NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services. I received monetary compensation, as well as free product, in exchange for sharing my experience visiting a local grass-fed beef farm. Thank you, Ray Family Farms, for hosting my visit and providing the inspiration for my shepherd’s pie recipe. SHEPHERD’S PIE I believe the best dishes start with love and this shepherd’s pie has got it in spades. With its savory beef and veggie filling topped with decadent mashed potatoes, it’s best served when the weather’s cold and you’re craving a stick-to-your-ribs comfort food dinner. ABOUT THE BEEF And the recipe I’m sharing today started with a visit to a beef farm. I was invited to tour Ray Family Farms — a family-owned farm not far from where I live — where I learned about locally produced beef and Ray Family Farm’s herd of Belted Galloway cattle. There are benefits in supporting locally produced beef. Chad Ray, along with his family, put a lot of thoug...

DELICIOUS OVEN COOKED BARBECUE BRISKET Full-flavored delicious Oven Cooked Barbecue Brisket marinated overnight, and then cooked on low heat yielding a smokey tender flavor! OVEN COOKED BARBECUE BRISKET Hey guys! I’m going to be very behind in my recipe sharing because for four days we’ve been visiting family in Nevada. In fact, I didn’t cook during our getaway at all! Instead I’ve been the recipient of good home cooked meals and boy did I enjoy some tasty grub! We spent Father’s Day weekend at my in-laws house and every time we visit, my Father-in-law Bill makes the most magnificent meals including this mouthwatering Oven Cooked Barbecue Brisket! The aroma was amazing while cooking and I knew this would be another tasty meal, so I asked if I could share it with all of you! That means that I made everyone wait before serving up a plate of food so I could capture the meal in a couple of pictures. Brave, I know! The family got a peek of what Alan goes through as I swatted everyone away f...

KETO BREADSTICKS

Image
KETO BREADSTICKS These cheesy breadsticks are keto, low carb and gluten free. They are easy to make and ready in about 30 minutes. Two weeks ago, I shared with you Low Carb Keto Bagels. Using a similar dough with a few tweaks, I made these cheesy breadsticks. The dough comes together easily in the food processor and is only five ingredients. MOZZARELLA CHEESE AND CREAM CHEESE The base of this keto dough is cheese. Mozzarella and cream cheese are melted down to form a cheese dough. You can melt them down in the microwave or over the stove in a double boiler. ALMOND FLOUR AND COCONUT FLOUR I tested versions with just almond flour and just coconut flour but found that the combination of both worked the best. Coconut flour is very absorbent, so you don’t need to use as much of it. I originally tried only using coconut flour and while the dough worked out fine, it tasted sweet from the coconut flour. Ideally, I would have liked to only use almond flour but almond flour does not absorb as we...

KETO FATHEAD PIZZA- BBQ PULLED PORK Don’t miss out on BBQ sauce anymore! We have an amazing keto approved sauce and a delicious Keto Fathead Pizza recipe to use it on. BBQ pulled pork. KETO FATHEAD PIZZA BBQ Pulled Pork I have been grilling since I first learned to cook. I won’t bore you with how long ago that was…… Grilling is my favorite method of cooking. It increases flavor, looks beautiful when finished and usually involves the family hanging around outside while I grill. I don’t get the insatiable need to throw everyone out of my kitchen then. Once I started eating the keto way I assumed giving up BBQ sauce was at the top of the list. So, of course I set out to make my own keto approved version. I make the sauce in big batches and freeze in mason jars. Once a week I just take a jar out of the freezer and refrigerate it. This keto fathead pizza recipe will cure both your pizza and BBQ cravings! What is fathead pizza? Fathead pizza is a dough that uses almond flour and then mozza...

BUFFALO CHICKEN MEATBALLS- KETO APPROVED Eating the keto way does not been you have to give up your favorite foods! Even though we love wings on keto, I like to change it up a bit with these keto buffalo chicken meatballs! KETO BUFFALO CHICKEN MEATBALLS  Low Carb! We absolutely love buffalo chicken wings.

Our keto buffalo chicken meatballs are oven baked and offer less calories and fat than traditional wings. Yes, on keto the fat is ok, however sometimes you may have a day where you are closing in on your fat and calorie goal for the day and need something lighter. These will curb that buffalo chicken craving in a quick way! There are no pork rinds in this recipe, you can add them if you wish. I personally do not like them and the meatballs hold together just fine. HERE IS HOW T...
