    After you peel back the label, hit the container sharply on the edge of your counter and it will open up easily. And those all look yummy!

      Fry the kielbasa first. Mix the rest in a pan on the stove. WHY A CROCKPOT ON UNCOOKED KIELBASA??

    Mandy, all 3 of these look awesome! We’ve got. 3 In our home too. It’s my husband Mike, our daughter Kelly (who just turned 40 this past Aug) & myself. Kelly has Down Syndrome & she loves party food & all of these are made with ingredients that she likes. She can be kind of picky sometimes. I think we will make these for New Years Day & we can snack on these for dinner. Thanks for the great recipes!

    I had a little tip I wanted to tell you when you made the chocolate oatmeal cookies. If you are using honey, peanut butter or anything sticky like that just spray your cup or spoon with a little Pam and it will slide right out.

    Mandy, we went deer hunting for a week in our camper. I checked out some of your recipes and made them while we were camping. I made your pulled pork, with slaw; crock pot cherry pie dessert; creamy loaded potato soup, but I added 2 cups of shredded Velveeta cheese (wow!,) and my favorite crock pot chicken and noodles. The food was delicious and the hunt was a success. Our granddaughter got a deer and everyone loved your recipes. My husband is not a fan of pulled pork, but I think adding the beer to the recipe just really tenderized the meat and he loved it and asked if I would make it again. That’s the first time in 50 years that he has asked me to make pulled pork again. The sauce was absolutely delicious. I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for making them! Debbie in Missouri💕💕

    Reminds me of about 25 years ago when my granddaughter graduated and I made many different items for her party. I had forgotten this sort of recipe. I bought a package of 100 tiny frozen meatballs, put them in an old fashing electric pan that just heats food and then keeps it warm. I put in the meatballs, chili sauce, grape jelly, and smallest jar of mustard. Delicious. Thanks for the memory I needed it.

    I love watching you guys! I have an easy appertizer that my mom made every Christmas eve(she's been gone 10 years). Cranberry meatballs. I use frozen homestyle meatballs (you can make your own) It's a jar of chili sauce and a can of jellied cranberry sauce (whole berry or not). Cook it in the crockpot on low 4 hours! It's super simple and delicous!

    One thing I made at Christmas is chocolate oatmeal cookies. My grandmama made them and my mama made them. I waited until Christmas because they set better when it’s cold.
    I have also made the chocolate without oatmeal and used it to ice a cake. It’s delicious.

    For the chicken bacon ranch appetizer, you could put the square of pastry dough into a small cupcake pan, fill it with the filling, sprinkle with more cheese, and lift the corners to make make them stand up, or fold the corners in towards the center. Bake according to recipe.

    I love the Bob Evans taters!!!! They are delicious and so easy for a quick dinner with Salisbury steak during the week! And bacon 🥓 in the oven is so easy and if you keep your bacon grease it’s easy to pour into a container! Looking forward to trying these! Thank you for sharing 🥰

  • @bethanyb1760

    Our go to meatball “sauce” recipe is meatballs, jar of bbq sauce and a small can of diced pineapple and cooked in slow cooker. So easy and delicious!

  • @lauragreen4899
    @lauragreen4899 11 месяцев назад

    Can't wait to try these. I did once see a lady who did bbq meatballs on the stove instead of the crock pot so the sauce could thicken and stick to the meat. Made sense. But everything looks amazing.

  • @cathyfeigert5660
    @cathyfeigert5660 4 года назад +1

    Those look delicious! I have a recipe that is similar for kielbasa-
    1 package of kielbasa, cut into 1” pieces
    1 cup of beer
    1 cup of ketchup
    3 T each of the following
    Brown sugar
    Apple cider vinegar
    Worcestershire sauce
    Place kielbasa in your crockpot, combine all of the ingredients and pour over top. Cook on low for 4 hours or on high for two.

  • @sandraposton7942
    @sandraposton7942 4 года назад

    These look good and I definitely plan to try them. An appetizer you might want to try is sausage/cheese cups or squares. Brown 1 lb of good ground sausage, drain. Add 1/2 cup of ranch dressing and 1/2 cup of cheese (I use whatever cheese I have, usually cheddar). To make cups, put a heaping tablespoon of sausage mixture in mini filo cups, top with more cheese. Cook a few minutes to melt cheese. To make the squares, roll out crescents rolls and put in a 9x13 pan (seal perforations). Cook for about 6 or 7 minutes. Then spread the sausage mixture on the partially cooked crescent rolls and top with another pkg. of crescent rolls (seal the perforations). Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Delicious!

    We are football fans (Go Chiefs!)
    and one of our game day traditions is to forgo a meal and have a "snack" buffet instead. Everyone gets to pick one or two snacks/appetizers or a dessert/candy, etc they've been craving and we have a game day snack buffet. So much fun. We will have to try all of these recipes!

    @barbaram5787 2 года назад

    Bob Evan's are the best quick mashed potatoes.
    Tip: you may already use this but just incase.
    I buy cheap aluminium foil to cover my baking sheets. It keeps them cleaner and makes clean up faster. Like you did to cook your bacon.

    @judygriffin7217 2 года назад

    LAY a sheet of tin foil on the bottom of your Oven, it will help with clean up. Catches all of the over spills. Learned that trick from my Mom! When tin foil needs a change, just remove and lay a new sheet down !

  • @lisaredwine4857
    @lisaredwine4857 Год назад

    One thing you might want to try is to sub out the grape jelly with cranberry sauce. It's great and easy to find this time of year. I like using it much more than the grape jelly.

    What an adorable family!!! These looked soooo good, so I'm going to be making them all for my family. They're gonna love it! I loved when you were having a hard time opening the pillsbury roll of dough and your husband's hand comes into view to help you. Don't you just love helpful husbands? I have one of my own! :) I just subscribed. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you, too!
