Favorite IP or Crock Pot meals?
Looking at my monthly plan, I need to have 8-10 IP or crock pot meals a month.
I need some that really quick to do and don't need a lot of things to add in at the end, can just be eaten as soon as we get home, and have easy clean up. My family, much to my chagrin, does not care for soup, except for broccoli cheddar, which I have tried in the crock pot and IP to not much approval. So, soup, is out. Chili is OK, so I have that And, they can't require any side dishes that need prep or preparation other than microwaving. My go-to is usually just salad, but some of these nights we will be eating very late, and some of us can't digest lettuce/raw veggies easily. So, I need side dish ideas or meals that don't need side dishes. I have tried doing dinner early before events at like 5pm, but then everyone is starving and wants to eat when they get home. so far I have for crock pot: Red beans and rice (rice crock pot, IP rice) crock pot quinoa chili For IP, I have Beef stew Chicken burrito bowls from D. Delicious BBQ chicken sandwiches, slaw from grocery store I already do a lot of chicken in the IP for on top of salads and stuff, but DH confessed to me that he really does not like how the chicken tastes and feels when I make it in the IP, so other than the bbq chicken sandwiches and burrito bowls, I don't really want to make chicken meals. I also remembered that I can prep the meal earlier in the day, and then put it in the crock pot to keep it warm, but the side dishes need to be super low prep or just like "bread" I'd like to make crock pot mac and cheese, and will if I can figure out a pairing for it to make it more meal like.
