The beef and noodles made by my grandma I miss so much! Her noodles was just flour and eggs. But for the life of my I cannot do them correctly! Reames has become the version I make with the use of the crockpot! But I think Grandma's just have the know how. Becuz when we cleaned out her kitchen and split the memories amongst us. We never found a crockpot! That woman knew how to make crockpot tender meat without a crockpot. If only I'd of paid attention to her cooking a little more lol
My grandmother doesn’t have one either. She uses a saucepan pot on the stove. Gas is good for slow cooking. A real low heat, the lowest you can go before it turns of on you. “Low and slow” didn’t come from slow cookers. ☺️ Works every time. NOW if you have kids and young ones at that then I would use my slow cookers BUT if they are at school I can use the stove. Good luck.
@annie When we used to get home from school, sometimes my mom had those noodles drying on tea towels on the back of all the kitchen and dining room chairs haha…and idk how she made them either. 🤷🏻♀️
The final recipe was a lifesaver, as the heating element on my oven just broke, and I had to feed a football crowd with some baked pasta dish. Using the slow cooker worked perfectly!
I'm South African, living in Canada. Love your videos. You're really helping with great ideas. By the way, Nando's is pronounced like the second pronunciation you mentioned. Like Nan (grandma) dose. Nando's. For those in Canada....Save On Foods International sells it sometimes. Or any South African store. There are plenty around :-) Also, Mindy....thank you for everything you share. I have learned a lot about what foods are available to buy here. Take tomato paste in a tube for example. I had no idea such a thing existed until I started watching your channel, and also crescent rolls and many other things. For someone who didnt grow up this side of the world, your channel is very helpful! You have also saved us from overheating in the kitchen in summer by getting me onto a slow cooker!
Kansas girl here. 😁 I love beef and noodles over potatoes. One of my grandmothers, from Nebraska, made chicken and noodles the we ate over potatoes. I think most dishes served over potatoes are good. Comfort food for sure.
Great video. It made me exhausted just seeing you jump from one thing to another. You’re amazing, and I’m in Topeka, Kansas, so I’m you’re neighbor too. Love 💕 and Hugs. ❤❤❤
I want to try this, too, because I am a vegan so making a saucy pasta would be great. I like to buy whole grain, gluten free pasta, and make my own sauce. This would be a great convenience.
Great ideas! also you said you get a lot of comments about how much cheese you use. Well in my opinion you can never have too much cheese. I use A LOT of cheese in cooking for my family also. Cheese just makes everything taste better. 😀🧀🧀
The Nandos recipe is definitely a meal we incorporate alot & it's absolutely delicious. You can also mix the Nandos sauce & cream cheese to be used for lasagna, one of the best lasagna meals you'll ever have. Thank you for the meals shared. Greetings from South Africa ❤️ 🇿🇦
Love your videos, you keep it real and are so intune with all families. I live in Lincolnshire in the UK and feel close to your family values and enjoy your UTUBE content. Thank you.
Hi Mindy. I found you through my recommendations and decided to watch. I loved this video and clicked on a few more and I was hooked on your content and personality, so I subscribed.
I tried cooking pasta in the slow cooker and it was awful. It's been a while and I can't even recall what it was or what I did that made it so.... Your video has given me some inspiration to maybe try it again. I love doing pasta in my Instant pot so I may just adapt some of these recipes to it. You have so many good ideas I am not sure what I want to try first! Thank you for your inspiration
you trying to say nandos was making me smile, its a very popular restaurant here in the uk! you say it -Nan-dos, so nan as is nanny and do, like homer simpson. id love to see some meat free recipes from you more, as i dont eat meat or fish myself x
I have an Instant Pot Auro Pro when I did my research on the slow cooker one of the things ppl complained about was the same thing, when I looked into it further the directions stated that you are to pick low or high and then the time amount.That's it, you don't press start because if you do the cooker thinks you want do I time delay. You don't need to press start. That's why maybe it does not seem to be cooking like you need it.
So I just found out that nandos sells sauces at my local Walmart and I'm in Delaware lol. Very shocking but grateful since the nearest whole foods is about 2 hours away! Thanks for the amazing recipes ❤
I also have a crock pot brand slow cooker and I rarely put it on high and leave it there because it will get way too hot and cook the meat to the point of over cooked and sometimes burned if you don’t watch it. I also have an instant pot and the slow cooker function is low as well.
Came back to say I’ve made three of these meals this week- Buffalo chicken tortellini, beefy noodle over mashed, peri peri chicken. All were hits at our home.
Amazing collection of recipes! Question: how do you decide whether to use broth base paste (Better than Bouillon) or broth base powder (Orrington Farms)? I see you use both interchangeably. I'd love to see a video with about assembling your homemade spice mixes. ❤
I’m English they have Nandos there it’s pronounced like it rhymes with Anne goes but that’s with an English accent. People will often say they’re going for a cheeky nandos over there but I’ve no idea why!
So many of these look so good. Will definitely have to try a few (though I'll need to pare things down, since it's only two of us). Thanks for the recipes!
Just package up the leftovers as servings for one or two people, stick in the freezer and enjoy for quick lunches or dinner when you’d prefer not to cook!
The garlic one is a little less spicy, though still a bit too hot for my kid. There's also (at least here, UK) a lemon and herb option, or you could maybe try using half the bottle of garlic and herb? (It's also great poured over chicken and baked/air fried and it lasts a decent while in the fridge once opened - a few weeks at least)
I would love to see a video where you compare all of the different crockpots, instant pot, or ninja brand slow cookers and tell us which is your fav. I want an all in one slow cooker with a sauté function but when I start to look at brands I get overwhelmed. Which one do you recommend????
This has been my favorite slow cooker of all time if you just want the timeless basic slow cooker and sauté functions without all the bells and whistles from Instant Pots and Ninja products. Hope this helps. Cuisinart® 6-Quart 3-in-1 Cook Central® Multicooker
Great videos as always :) I am thinking about buying a crockpot to replace a multicooker I have that is a it old :) Why are you using a plastic protection instead of puting everything in the cuve?
Definitely making several of these this week! I'm wondering how evaporated milk would work if you have the time constraints but the recipe calls for milk?
I have a ninja possible cooker which is like the cooker you have and I have noticed that mine cooks really low temp also! It may have something to do with the fact that it has the sauté function
Haha! Yes, it’s a compilation video so in addition to 2 new recipes I went back to previous videos and grabbed some of my faves so they’re all in the same spot. :)
With the mixes you have taped to the inside of your cupboard, what is the method once you come to use them please or do you just add a certain amount of the dry ingredients or use it all or what?
I would like to make more Crockpot meals, but I try to make a balance of vegetarian recipes and recipes that involve chicken/turkey. I don't have a good repertoire of vegetarian crockpot meals.
@@SeeMindyMom my son-in-law, Grandma also made a very similar dish and served it over mashed potatoes and they called it Popeye and That’s why I was curious
These look great! I would LOVE to see more crockpot recipes that can cook for 8+ hours unattended for folks who work outside the home.
I agree!!!! I’m out of the home and a 4-6hr crockpot meal just doesn’t work for me
Such a nice lady. Glad to see you are keeping Nana’s recipe alive.
The beef and noodles made by my grandma I miss so much! Her noodles was just flour and eggs. But for the life of my I cannot do them correctly! Reames has become the version I make with the use of the crockpot! But I think Grandma's just have the know how. Becuz when we cleaned out her kitchen and split the memories amongst us.

I come from a line of Midwestern farm women. My mom sometimes made homemade noodles. Yum.
I love how you improvise when you are out of something. That's real life. So encouraging to me
The final recipe was a lifesaver, as the heating element on my oven just broke, and I had to feed a football crowd with some baked pasta dish. Using the slow cooker worked perfectly!

Love the beef noodle dish

Everything looks great! I never use pasta in crock pot but am going to try because of these recipes. Thank you so much.
Me too. She made it look so easy and has given me confidence to try adding the pasta into the dish. Brilliant!
I want to try this, too, because I am a vegan so making a saucy pasta would be great. I like to buy whole grain, gluten free pasta, and make my own sauce. This would be a great convenience.
Midwest lady here and I can vouch for beef and noodles and chicken and noodles! ❤️
Girl, you need to get yourself a ninja foodi possible cooker! Best thing I've ever purchased
My son in law is from South Africa and we ate at Nando’s in London. Thank you for this recipe! I’m so excited!
Are you from London? We are visiting there in a few months and always like recommendations from locals.
My mom did a roast in the pressure cooker then added gravy and potatoes. Pressure cooked until done. Cooked noodles and added to it. Yum.
pasta and a crock pot. that’s my type of cooking video.
Yum!
Great ideas! also you said you get a lot of comments about how much cheese you use. Well in my opinion you can never have too much cheese. I use A LOT of cheese in cooking for my family also. Cheese just makes everything taste better. 😀🧀🧀
Love cooking in a crockpot. These recipes look great.
These look so good. Thanks
My family loved the creamt ranch chicken with penne. Thanks for these delish easy recipes with no "cream of" ingredents. ❤.
The Nandos recipe is definitely a meal we incorporate alot & it's absolutely delicious. You can also mix the Nandos sauce & cream cheese to be used for lasagna, one of the best lasagna meals you'll ever have. Thank you for the meals shared. Greetings from South Africa ❤️ 🇿🇦

Trying to get into the habit of using my crockpot more often. Thanks!!
It's a lifesaver for me! :)
Yum yum yum yum !!! Everything looks amazing ! Thank you Mindy !!!
Lots of lovely recipes using my favourite method of cooking in my favourite season - what's not to like.
All your recipes look great. When I have veggies on the side I always roast them in the oven. They add great added flavors. Thanks for sharing.
My heart breaks to see this precious little darling ❤❤❤
Oh yummm!!!! All the recipes looked so good.
Oh yum!! Especially that shaved beef, Ramen dish! They all looked great! Thank you Mindy!
All the crock pot recipes look amazing and I have a majority of the ingredients on hand..thanks for sharing this video.
My pleasure 😊
So I just found out that nandos sells sauces at my local Walmart and I'm in Delaware lol. Very shocking but grateful since the nearest whole foods is about 2 hours away! Thanks for the amazing recipes ❤
I've learned so much from you ❤ these look amazing. Thsnk you for sharing and being here for us ❤😊
And my meal planning for the week is done! 😆🥰 Great ideas!!
Nando's in the UK is top notch, haven't tried the ones here in the US...yet. I make my own copycat recipes at home. That sauce is so delicious!
Can't wait to try the Buffalo chicken tortellini for my daughter the next time she's home from school!
They all look deliciousThank you for the video!
I also have a crock pot brand slow cooker and I rarely put it on high and leave it there because it will get way too hot and cook the meat to the point of over cooked and sometimes burned if you don’t watch it.
I also have an instant pot and the slow cooker function is low as well.
I am new to your channel came over for the collaboration. Looking forward to many more of your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome recipes, thanks 👍👍
Love this! I always look forward to your videos.

Crockpot tasty meals! Thx
You bet!
It all looks delicious Mindy thank you for all the ideas 😊

I'd love to see a video with about assembling your homemade spice mixes. ❤
It’s just whatever I happen to have stocked at the time. :)
I love your videos. I'm addicted 😊
Such great recipes. I’m making my grocery list for grocery shopping tomorrow. I’m for sure going to make the Hoisin Beef recipe
I’m English they have Nandos there it’s pronounced like it rhymes with Anne goes but that’s with an English accent. People will often say they’re going for a cheeky nandos over there but I’ve no idea why!
We don’t each much spice but that chicken with the sun dried tomatoes looks really good
Awesome recipes, thanks
These all look delicious 😋 goingvto have to try the beef and noodles
I need more low fat crockpot recipes
So many of these look so good. Will definitely have to try a few (though I'll need to pare things down, since it's only two of us). Thanks for the recipes!
Just package up the leftovers as servings for one or two people, stick in the freezer and enjoy for quick lunches or dinner when you’d prefer not to cook!

Nando's is in Australia.
Trader Joe's sells Peri Peri sauce in a bottle.
Question for your Pepperjack beef and noodles. How much peppjack cheese am i adding please???

Definitely making several of these this week! I'm wondering how evaporated milk would work if you have the time constraints but the recipe calls for milk?
the Tortellini at my walmart is 4.78 for the small bag 👀
Can someone please link the video where she goes over what seasonings she would start her pantry with? I cannot find it.
cool
I have a ninja possible cooker which is like the cooker you have and I have noticed that mine cooks really low temp also! It may have something to do with the fact that it has the sauté function
Am I crazy or did your hair grow and then get shorter in this video? I really enjoy using my crockpot. Chili is on deck for Saturday.
I think she put together some various clips of videos she had made before. Nice to have all these different recipes for the cooler months coming up!
Haha! Yes, it’s a compilation video so in addition to 2 new recipes I went back to previous videos and grabbed some of my faves so they’re all in the same spot. :)
Do you ever find that noodles in slow cooker recipes get over cooked or mushy?
I use whatever broth my recipe calls for to get all the sauce out of bottles.
Did you use the whole cream cheese pack for the Buffalo chicken pasta?
Is there an alternative that you could suggest for the frozen noodles? They are not available in rural Vermont.
If you can find dry noodles labeled KLUSKI...they are the same thing, just dried.
Where can i find the Ranch recipe
Was the cheese tortellini frozen when you put it in the crockpot?
What brand is your beef base? Is it granules? Does it have to be refrigerated? Where do you get it?
I have used a variety over the years. The dry bouillon base I get at Walmart. I also sometimes use better than bouillon which I keep in the fridge.
With the mixes you have taped to the inside of your cupboard, what is the method once you come to use them please or do you just add a certain amount of the dry ingredients or use it all or what?
Yes, it just depends on the recipes how much I use. Usually 1-2TBSP
I like ziti but I cannot stand it with macaroni or Amy smooth noodle. I don’t know why so I usually do penne or something instead. Am I alone here?
Buffalo chicken one Looks yummy. Yikes on the crockpot liners. I think in the future those will probably be linked to cancers.
I would like to make more Crockpot meals, but I try to make a balance of vegetarian recipes and recipes that involve chicken/turkey. I don't have a good repertoire of vegetarian crockpot meals.
Curries are always a good bet for vegan/vegetarian meals.
Mindy! What does your family call you nana’s beef and noodles dish? Is it called Popeye?
They just called it Beef and Noodles.
@@SeeMindyMom my son-in-law, Grandma also made a very similar dish and served it over mashed potatoes and they called it Popeye and That’s why I was curious
How do you make Chuck roast from scratch? 🤣
On a cattle farm.
Is everything have to be so hot what about us old ppl 😢
Perfect! Thank you. :)
Yum!
Vegetarian and lactose intolerant, so I’m just over here crying in the corner 🤣
I miss dairy so, so much!!!
I'm always looking for new crockpot meals. I'll have to add these to our list.
😊
Ziti is the type of noodle :-) sooo in essence you made a baked farfalle not a baked ziti . Looks wonderful!
