Good afternoon Mel from Georgia. Just checking you channel, everything looks good so far. One thing, I know you said EVAPORATED milk for the Mac & Cheese, but I had a friend that actually used SWEETENED condensed milk by accident once. You can only imagine how that came out.
I use golden mushroom soup in my green bean casserole and love it. I wasn't fond of the green been casserole until I started using the golden mushroom soup.
I have never used the Golden mushroom, I don't know if I've even seen it in years, but you know I haven't even thought about that soup on a long time. Thanks for sharing this awesome tip and for watching
Our family recipe for green bean casserole has a twist…we use 1 can cream of mushroom, 1 can cream of chicken, & the best is…cream of cheddar cheese! 😋. The cheese sauce adds so much more flavor.
Anyone else hit the thumbs up before the video is over! All of these recipes look amazing..as usual! I'm going to try the Jammin Jams. All of them look scrumptious! Thanks Momma!!❤
It's always a pleasure to get a new video notification from you, Aunt Mel. I just got home from the hospital a few hours ago and recovering from a severe Crohn's flare-up and UTI. I gotta follow-up with my regular doctor and GI doctor. Please keep me in your prayers. Thank you in advance. God Bless. PS, everything looks and sounds so delicious. I'm over here drooling just by looking at the thumbnail picture.
Everything looks delicious! I love Thanksgiving. Thanks for all the prayers for my friend’s husband. Les went home to be with Jesus yesterday, a month to the day after her daddy. Please continue to lift this family in prayer. After 41 years together, she’s feeling lost. I’m so glad she has a strong relationship with her Heavenly Father and that He will be her strength and comfort. Their boys have grown up in church and two of the three actively are in ministry now. Thanks for praying. I am praying for you and the allergy season. I used to tell myself it’s just allergies, but they can make you feel as awful as anything else. Praying for a quick healing. God Bless and keep you ❤
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and my very favorite meal!!! I’m blessed to have my son and his family to celebrate with, but I will check my Aldi and see if they have the same turkey breast that you show here. I’m not opposed to having Thanksgiving dinner all year long! These recipes you shared will be a joy for me to cook!
I love Thanksgiving too, it's not as stressful as Christmas with all the gifts and things like that and I can really focus on family and giving thanks for all the blessings in my life!
Momma Mel, You just saved me from doing a lot of cleaning up (dishes) on Thanksgiving. I am so very thankful for you and your tips for a easy, less stressful thanksgiving. May God bless you and your family. Have a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving. Sending you love from Cumberland county Tn.
I had already decided to do a crockpot mac n cheese for our office Thanksgiving and looked at multiples online today earlier and had decided already on Trisha's version. Good to see it made on your channel and it turns out! Thanks Mel
You have solved the mystery of our favorite (now closed) BBQ restaurant’s cheesy green bean casserole, I had to go sit down! We have been trying to figure that out for over seventeen years (they’ve been closed for nine). I can’t wait to surprise my family. Thank you for another wonderful video!
Honey, it was the sleeper hit of this meal 😂 the cheapest and easiest one of them all, too! It was just sitting drawing NO attention to itself whatsoever and BAM it was the best! 😂😊
Mel, I gotta tell ya! This meal has got me so hungry! Can't wait to try the green bean casserole...Mel Style! And that Pumpkin Lava Cake WOW!! 🎃🍁🍂🌾🧡🤎 HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!
How amazing! For those of us working on Thanksgiving day, this gives us a chance to still have a great meal in the late afternoon. Thank you! I would haven't thought of it.
Thank you for this video. This Thanksgiving it’s just my husband and myself so doing that turkey breast in the crock pot is perfect! I’m excited to try it.
Mel, thank you for always sharing delicious, easy to prepare recipes. It is a pleasure to watch you cook every week, and I can't wait to try these dishes. I could eat some of that mac & cheese right now.
We were already craving thanksgiving food so we made it last night! 😂 we bought the same smaller turkey breast but I made all of the sides! Green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, homemade yeast rolls and I actually made a purple sweet potato casserole that turned out amazing! We’re still planning on having thanksgiving dinner of course, but we just wanted it sooner ❤ it’s a lot of work for sure but so worth it!
1-28oz. green beans and 1 can cr. mushroom soup, french fried onions mix well put in a covered cassarole dish put in microwave for 7min. then stir and put more onion and cook uncovered for 3min. and they are done. I love the taste and it is so quick
Mel, I love each recipe! It amazes me how u can turn a crockpot into do all that! I was thinking part way thru, I hope that dear Mom who's living in a hotel gets to see this one, she's been in my heart and I pray for her all the time. I have a tender place in my heart for the hotel folks who can't afford a home & apartments are too steep for them. But for God's great grace to me, I might be in that same place. I haven't seen her post lately, but I still think of her plight often. So, thank u for sharing simple, easy to make recipes with all of us, they will make our celebrations perfect! I love how u call Patrick Dad too, makes me feel like I'm part of ur family. Have a blessed week sweet friend! I hear u have a hot spell coming again ... oh wow! 🙋♀️🌻🎃🍁💕💕💕🌄
Thank you so much for your so kind words Sandy, you always put a smile on my face and warm my heart. I know exactly who you are talking about and I think about alot of our friends here often, too. Many are down on their luck, sick, or even just lonely and this community is a happy place for them. I hope they know they are loved and prayed for by many here, and that it brings them comfort and peace. Thank you for always being so kind to not just me but all those in our community here, I appreciate you more than you know.
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel Awe, that's so precious to me how u care so deeply, Mel. It truly is a place to feel and share love, and bc of that I just know ur eternal blessings are going to be great! Hey, did u see Jennifer in Cook Clean & Repeat has a cookbook?!! That's what I've been hoping & praying u might do! I think ur destined to go places & do bigger things. U remind me of sweet Paula Dean. I hope u talk about the how's at ur Thanksgiving table & keep yourself open to God's big plans! Can't wait to hear u say it someday! U might just hear me WAHOO from there! 🙋♀️🌻💕💕💕💕
@sandybowman7140 I love Jen, she has given me lots of encouragement,advice, and help the last couple years and I am BEYOND excited for her cookbook! And maybe one I will make one too. I haven't mentioned it yet, but my website went live this week, a few found the link tonight in the description box. I just have a few recipes loaded and I'm doing some training this week to learn how to load everything in now that it's live so I will be adding more soon. But now everyone can pin or download printable recipes straight from there. 👍🏼😊👏 I know lots of people wanted that. And when you sign up for the newsletter you get 5 of our favoritr recipes emailed to you too. So I'm baby stepping it, but I feel so blessed that the Lord has allowed this to become my full time job of joy 😊 There are days it's hard, like all work is, but I love it and I am working on building a legacy to pass on to my girls.😊
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel I'm so excited for u Mel, I'm hoping u get a cookbook put together too! I'm not that good at technology but I'll have to look into ur Newsletter, maybe have the guys at the library help me figure it all out!? I just pray u keep blessing people & opening people up to the love of Jesus, he's the only one who can bring sweet peace to a person's life! I know I'm "preaching to the choir" with that statement too. The love u have for others is inspired from his Royal Highness himself! Have sweet week dear friend! 🙋♀️🌻💕💕💕
I love your channel and all your recipes! These Thanksgiving video's are sooo helpful for my bigger family and helping me to cut down some of the hard work of putting such a large meal together. I am going to try these recipes out before the holiday as they all look so good!
Have you recovered from the wedding? I know it gives you such joy to know your precious one is with someone she loves and who loves her. Such happy times!
I have a sister who is allergic to Mushrooms so in our green bean casserole we use cream of chicken soup instead, I also use frozen beans not canned, I just leave them to unthaw in the refrigerator overnight. They have a nice crunch and taste more like fresh green beans. Blessings and Prayers thanks for the new recipes will be trying them for sure
Me too. I was just trying to figure out if I could cook them in the crockpot first. Then pull off the skin and add the rest of the ingredients. I’m going to try it. I hate to use the oven. It is rarely cold where I live. I’m going to try it.
I might try the crockpot sweet potato casserole this year! So glad I found your channel because I grew up in Madisonville for several years of my childhood and your accent makes me so happy and reminds me of TN! I still live in the south, but TN holds a special place in my heart. I also purchased some jams for Christmas presents! 🥰
You are real and relatable Nomi, not trying to one up or compete against anybody, on the humble and grateful for all experiences, not just the glitz...some folks just don't get it. Thats fine, we get it and love it. Best!😊
Sweet potatoes, I like to add chopped pecans and shredded pineapple, then would add mini marshmallows and mix and done. Happy Thanksgiving all and stay patient when necessary, and always be blessed.
That sounds delicious, I've never thought about pineapple 🍍 😋 But I have added a little coconut before-I love it but the rest of the family not so much 🤣
Mel thank you for this video!!! I am so glad I found it in your history. I am going out and buying me 2 more crock pots (luckily you can find them cheap) and I am doing our entire thanksgiving meal in crock pots! Everything in your video, other than the cake, is what I normally cook for Thanksgiving. I am even going to try the cake! You are just the best - thanks!
Wow! I will be trying some of these recipes. I use my crockpots during the holidays because we like things hot. Crockpot meals save my life when I'm busy which is is always. I'll be looking for the dressing recipe in a crockpot.❤ ❤❤
I too use my crockpot on thanksgiving. I have a triple one that each pot is 21/2 quarts. Great size for sides Keep the videos coming Mel, even being in my 60’s I can always use some new recipes. Margie Houston Tx 0:53
Hey neighbor,your kitchen looks like mine about now 11-20 -23 I just came from Kroger (PACKED ) I’ve been sick and think I’ve bought more than I’ll be able to prepare this year ! Love crockpot cooking as well. Wishing you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving my Blount County friend…🙏🦃
Lady!!! Thank you for this ….thank you SO much. When I tell you, my gosh my oven went out recently and we haven’t been able to afford a new one. I have a roaster we purchased form walmart a few years back which I plan on cooking my turkey in but I was stressing about my sides! You are precious and I just love your channel thank you for this wonderful video! Blessings
You are so welcome! There is always a reason God lays certain topics on my mind - as silly as that sounds - I know without a doubt it's true. Thank you for sharing this with me and I hope you can get your oven fixed soon. But it sounds like you are making do just fine, my oven went out a few years ago and I bought an air fryer (one that looks like a small toaster oven, you can fit a pizza or small casserole dish in it to bake) and it saved us for a couple weeks until the new mother board came from Amazon and my hubby got it fixed. Gotta be creative sometimes - I made a whole video about cooking without an oven, here it is it might help you, too. And skillet meals if your stove eyes are still working - I have a lot of skillet meals on my channel, too. ruclips.net/video/ECoD_HICAKY/видео.htmlsi=0NnFSnqodRMWmZ_7
Love all of these! I'm having wrist surgery 2 days before Thanksgiving and been on the hunt for something easy to do for my adult daughter since she is determined to make the entire dinner this year. It's only the 3 of us (Darling Husband, her, and me). So, I have every confidence in her!
That's awesome, not your surgery LOL but that she is cooking for the three of you. She will rock it! And I'm praying for you to have a successful surgery and speedy and complete recovery.
Oh Mel, you have gotten me addicted to the Jammin Jams. I just got another order in last week. Some are Christmas presents but most are for me. And I try to share with my family, but I can’t help giving them the side eye if they actually eat them! 😂
I just ordered mine about 10 minutes ago and if I like the products, I’ll order and buy the case lol and that is a good idea about giving those things out for Christmas
I could never veer from my momma's dressing, so just have to bake it in the oven. Her recipe is very simple but so delish. Here is a video where she made it with me last year, have a happy Thanksgiving 😊 ruclips.net/video/tHAo5qvN4Ss/видео.htmlsi=jpEYbKelwk6ew_NM
At one time I had an electric roast that could cook many ways and several crockpots. Don’t you know I did not turn my stove on once!! Lol it was me and 2 kids so we were good with it. Easy clean up too
Hello momma Mel. So happy for you and your videos.. This year I'm on a mission to try some new things..... I look forward to seeing you each week. Thanks for sharing!! Stay safe my neighbor. I did save this video 😊😊
Hi Mel! Beautiful Thanksgiving dinner! Everything looked so scrumptious! Thank you so much for sharing your "all Crockpot Thanksgiving Dinner" with us.! God bless!
Love doing the crockpot thanksgiving meals. We find it helps a lot. We also do our dressing in them. Our oven only gets the rolls and the pineapple/cheese casserole now.
Let’s Jam! To see all Jammin Jams delicious offerings go to jamminjamstn.com/ and use code FALL for 20% off a minimum order of $35
Everything looks great !! Do you ever put a little nutmeg in your cheesy macaroni ?
Good afternoon Mel from Georgia. Just checking you channel, everything looks good so far. One thing, I know you said EVAPORATED milk for the Mac & Cheese, but I had a friend that actually used SWEETENED condensed milk by accident once. You can only imagine how that came out.
😂 hey it might just be extra good
I had forgotten about that tip, I have done that before and I loved it!
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel I don't think that I would like Sweet Mac& Cheese
1st recipes sauce would also work on a small pork loin too.🐷
I use golden mushroom soup in my green bean casserole and love it. I wasn't fond of the green been casserole until I started using the golden mushroom soup.

Oh honey, I will sure continue praying for her. I just can't imagine how lost she is right now. Maybe the good Lord comfort and sustain her.

I am so glad that this is going to help you! Thanks so much for letting me know!
first time I'm in charge of sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving. this is perfect!!!❤❤❤❤
I would have to take the macaroni and cheese out and put in a casserole with more cheese on the top and put in oven under the broiler.
Jammin Jams look delicious! All of your Crock-Pot recipes look wonderful! My favorites are the Sweet potatoes and Macaroni and cheese! 😊
Thanks friend, and those were delicious for sure!
I have a sister who is allergic to Mushrooms so in our green bean casserole we use cream of chicken soup instead, I also use frozen beans not canned, I just leave them to unthaw in the refrigerator overnight.

That sounds delish! Thanks for watching and sharing!
Thank you so much for muting the sound on your mixer. Some utubers run it the whole video while trying to talk over it. Love your channel!
I always bake the sweet potatoes in the oven, let them cook & pull skins off, mash & add other ingredients.
Me too. I was just trying to figure out if I could cook them in the crockpot first. Then pull off the skin and add the rest of the ingredients. I’m going to try it. I hate to use the oven. It is rarely cold where I live. I’m going to try it.

All look so good. The turkey breast would be good for empty nesters!
I cook one every year and we usually have 10 people. We have a ham too so we end up with leftovers. ❤

You can also put your turkey in broth. I always do that with all my turkey meat. Really makes it moist
OMGoodness.... I'm sitting here drooling! Everything looks delicious!

This was truly one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen in a very very long time. Excellent! ❤
Momma Mel; I watched Falon from Moss family tv microwave her sweet potatoes for a minute to make it easier to chop. Hope that helps!
That’s a good idea
I use Velveeta cheese in my green bean casserole
That’s how I cook my turkey breast. My kids even like the sauce over their mashed potatoes!!
Wow! I will be trying some of these recipes. I use my crockpots during the holidays because we like things hot. Crockpot meals save my life when I'm busy which is is always. I'll be looking for the dressing recipe in a crockpot.❤ ❤❤
YUM! Thank you so much! This is so much help. Sending love right back, from Texas 🩷🙏
You are so welcome! So glad it was helpful!
Don't you love it when local people make good! Congratulations to Jammin Jams on their Dolly contract! Sounds like a great product!
Any suggestions on what to add to the turkey if you are not a cranberry fan?
I too use my crockpot on thanksgiving. I have a triple one that each pot is 21/2 quarts. Great size for sides
Keep the videos coming Mel, even being in my 60’s I can always use some new recipes.

The outside plastic netting n the turkey can also be used as a scrubber.
Now that's smart, thanks for that info! And for watching 😊
Why would you cook the turkey with the netting? It could impart toxins to the meat when heated, especially if it’s plastic.
Thanks so much for the crockpot options, everything looked so good and so easy too! Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome! I love having options, LOL
A whole video of Deliciousness!😋😋 Thanks Mama Mel.... Have a Blessed week!🩷💗🩷

But it sounds like you are making do just fine, my oven went out a few years ago and I bought an air fryer (one that looks like a small toaster oven, you can fit a pizza or small casserole dish in it to bake) and it saved us for a couple weeks until the new mother board came from Amazon and my hubby got it fixed. Gotta be creative sometimes - I made a whole video about cooking without an oven, here it is it might help you, too. And skillet meals if your stove eyes are still working - I have a lot of skillet meals on my channel, too. ruclips.net/video/ECoD_HICAKY/видео.htmlsi=0NnFSnqodRMWmZ_7
I’ve made the turkey in the cranberry and orange sauce. I love it!
I'd love to smell your kitchen when they are all finishing up. ❤
Love all of these! I'm having wrist surgery 2 days before Thanksgiving and been on the hunt for something easy to do for my adult daughter since she is determined to make the entire dinner this year. It's only the 3 of us (Darling Husband, her, and me). So, I have every confidence in her!
That's awesome, not your surgery LOL but that she is cooking for the three of you. She will rock it! And I'm praying for you to have a successful surgery and speedy and complete recovery.
@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel thank you sweetie!! Love all your recipes. And, yes, she will rock it!
Such good recipes! Now I am kicking myself for donating my smaller two crock pots.
It all looks good but I still prefer my mac-n-cheese baked in the oven with a bread crumb topping
I put my turkey in a baking bag, then cook in a crockpot yummy
Thank u for this video. I got a crockpot this year I been looking for recipes for my crockpot.
I hate to peel and cut sweet potatoes. Walmart sells bags of frozen sweet potatoes already peeled and cubed. That's what I use now -- so much faster
Oh Mel, you have gotten me addicted to the Jammin Jams. I just got another order in last week. Some are Christmas presents but most are for me. And I try to share with my family, but I can’t help giving them the side eye if they actually eat them! 😂
Love it!! They are really so delicious and Janice is a perfectionist with her products! I am so happy to share her with all of you!
I just ordered mine about 10 minutes ago and if I like the products, I’ll order and buy the case lol and that is a good idea about giving those things out for Christmas
Love the lava cakes but I'm not sure about pumpkin and chocolate together. I might use vanilla or butterscotch pudding and white chocolate chips.
I use frozen green beans.
Very few can vegetables I like.
I love frozen and fresh vegetables.
The side dishes look delicious.
Whoa! Everything looks so good! That Mac and Cheese, though! ❤️😋🙌
Thank you 😋It was really a sin LOL
I love my cricket pot its amazing what you can make in them! Thanks for sharing ❤!
I made your sweet potato recipe and green bean casserole and they were a hit! Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You never let us down. You are the best!
I would bake the sweet potatoes 1 day before,then you remove the skin when cool,much easier.love Thanksgiving dinner anytime.
That's a great tip, thanks 😊
Wonderful, just wonderful!
Everything looks so good lol save me a plate
Everything looks delicious! 😋
I always add a can of peas or frozen peas to my casserole sure makes it so much better 👍
That's a great idea!
All this looks delicious! I’m no cook but I think I could do these recipes plus I have no oven.
Thx&see ya😁
Yep, it's an awesome video!!
Thank you so much ❤❤
Thank YOU! So happy that you liked it!
This looks absolutely delicious. The only thing missing is the stuffing. It’s my favorite!!
I could never veer from my momma's dressing, so just have to bake it in the oven. Her recipe is very simple but so delish. Here is a video where she made it with me last year, have a happy Thanksgiving 😊

At one time I had an electric roast that could cook many ways and several crockpots. Don’t you know I did not turn my stove on once!! Lol it was me and 2 kids so we were good with it. Easy clean up too
First time watching your videos loved it . I’m so going to try a couple of these recipes and thank you so much everything looked amazing !!!
Love, loved, still loving it.
That cake looks amazing! Thanks for the recipes ❤
My pleasure 😊 And it was AWESOME but I am a lover of the lava cakes!
So glad to get the recipe for these dishes! I love cooking in the Crock-Pot!!! Thank you Mel!!! ❤
Hello momma Mel. So happy for you and your videos.. This year I'm on a mission to try some new things..... I look forward to seeing you each week.
Thanks for sharing!! Stay safe my neighbor. I did save this video 😊😊
Hi Mel! Beautiful Thanksgiving dinner! Everything looked so scrumptious! Thank you so much for sharing your "all Crockpot Thanksgiving Dinner" with us.! God bless!
You are so welcome! Thank YOU for watching and I hope it helps you out!
Thank you for all you for all you do
Thank you for sharing. I will be sure to try these recipes especially the cake 😋
Love doing the crockpot thanksgiving meals. We find it helps a lot. We also do our dressing in them. Our oven only gets the rolls and the pineapple/cheese casserole now.
That is awesome! And I have been wanting to try that pineapple cheese casserole for years now and I somehow keep passing it over - next year for sure!
All looks delicious, Mel! Thank you for sharing. Have a great week!
Thank you! You too!
WOW, Mel, these were all fantastic. I am planning on using a few of these for our holiday get togethers.
Your crockpot Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes look out of this world and well the green bean cheese casserole looked great as well as the dessert 😋😀
I was so happy when you put the ice cream on the lava cake.
Lol I know 😂
Gosh, I’m ready for turkey dinner!! Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes!!
