Easy Beef Jerky *

Beef jerky makes a great snack and is a good source of protein. The only problem is just about all of the jerky you’ll find in stores are made with nasty ingredients and low quality meat. This beef jerky is a cinch to make at home with a jerky gun and a food dehydrator….both of which are fairly in-expensive and are a great investment. You can adjust the seasonings in this jerky easily to fit your tastes at the time.

Crockpot Beef & Cabbage Casserole *

Growing up my Mom would make stuffed cabbage…little rolls of cabbage with a ground beef/rice mixture tucked inside and a yummy tomato sauce poured over top. It was one of my favorite meals as a kid. This is my take on a quicker/easier way to get that same deliciousness. Just put everything in a crock-pot and allow it to cook slowly, letting the flavors meld together, gently. It is sooooo good, especially if you serve it over some hot cooked brown rice. Tastes just like Mom’s…only easier

Slow-Cooker Barbecue BBQ Beef

This slow cooker/crock pot BBQ recipe is great for a Sunday lunch, or early dinner. Everything is cooked in the slow cooker for 6 to 8 hours, so you don’t have a lot of work to do…you can rest and relax on your Sabbath but still enjoy a great meal. If you don’t have a lot of time in the morning to put everything in the crock pot, you can do it the night before….simply place everything in the crock pot container, cover with the lid, and place in the fridge. The next morning (6 to 8 hours before you want to serve the meal) just take the container out of the fridge and place into your slow cooker/crock pot base, cook as normal. Serve inside whole-grain sprouted rolls, soaked/sprouted tortillas, or over cooked brown-rice, with a simple side-salad. My husband prefers the roll/tortilla and my kids and I prefer the rice; both with a little shredded cheddar cheese on-top…..Yummy!

Italian Scalloped-Potato & Beef Casserole

This casserole is so hearty and filling. It is just the kind of meal that my husband loves…meat and potatoes. Serve this with a simple side salad drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. This casserole can also be cooked in the crock pot if you have a busy day ahead…simply follow the crock pot/slow cooker instructions.

Black Bean-Sweet Potato Chili

This chili is a twist on a classic comfort food dish that most everyone loves. The sweet potato puree in this version really gives the chili a different and welcome new flavor, slightly sweet with a touch of spicy-ness. When I made this I thought it would probably taste pretty good, but I had no idea that it would get such outstanding reviews from my children and especially my husband! Enjoy this with some homemade spelt biscuits or texas skillet bread*.
