Sweet & Tangy Meatballs Crock Pot Freezer Meal


36 meatballs
16 oz grape jelly
20 oz bbq sauce

Divide between two freezer bags and freeze. To cook, just dump into crock pot and cook on low for 2-4 hours. 


Very delicious and would be good as an appetizer even.

Salmon Patties

This is one of my grandma's recipes. She made these for me often when I was younger and stayed the night at her house. I haven't had them in so long, and they're so good.


1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 cans of salmon- pick out any bones
1 tbsp flour
saltine crackers (I used about half of the sleeve)


Mix all ingredients in a bowl.  You can add more milk, flour or crackers to your liking. You want them to be sort of thick.  Form them into patties and fry them in a pan until browned flipping as needed.

Crock Pot Parmesan Ranch Mushrooms

I don't like mushrooms at all, but I decided to be nice and make this recipe for Mike the other day. I imagine these would be good to bring to a pot luck or as an appetizer at a party.



1/2 cup butter
1 packet of ranch powder 
mushrooms
2 tsp parmesan cheese

Melt butter and mix in the ranch powder.  Place mushrooms in crock pot. Pour melted ranch butter over top and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Cook on low for 4 hours.

Spinach Patties

Mike had these spinach burgers at his friends house a few months ago. I finally got around to buying everything for them. I made them one day while he was at work so he could take them the next day for lunch.  He loved them. Marley even liked them too.


1 bag of thawed and well drained chopped spinach
2 egg whites
1 whole egg
½ c shredded cheese
½ c bread crumbs
1 tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder

Mix all ingredients in a bowl.  Shape into patties and cook over medium high heat in a non stick skillet with a small amount of cooking spray. Cook until they are slightly brown and firm flipping as needed.

Mini Monkey Bread

This is another recipe I've been seeing a lot on Pinterest. I made these the same night I made the zuppa toscana. Great combo!


2 (7.5 oz) cans buttermilk biscuits
6 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tbsp garlic powder
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for sprinkling on top

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray muffin pan with nonstick spray. Cut biscuits into four pieces and place in bowl. Mix butter, garlic, parsley, and parmesan cheese together and pour over biscuit pieces.  Place 6-7 pieces in each muffin cup. Sprinkle with more parmesan cheese. 


Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

I've had this recipe in my recipe box for years. I'm not exactly sure where I got it from either. All I know is that these biscuits are so good. 


2 cups bisquick
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
1/4 tsp garlic powder


Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix bisquick, milk, and cheese together until they a soft dough forms. 

Drop large spoonfuls of the dough onto a cookie sheet. 


Bake for 8-10 minutes at 450 degrees. 


Mix together butter and garlic powder. Spread onto biscuits once they're done cooking. 


This recipe should make between 10-12 biscuits. Mine were on the large side so I only got 8. It just depends on how large you make them.

Warm Bean Dip

I went to a family friend's candle party a few weeks ago. While there I had the most amazing chip dip ever! Of course when I got home I looked online for the recipe, just to make sure I was making it right. 


1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
2 cans (16 ounces, each) refried beans
1 packet taco seasoning
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded


Spread beans on bottom of baking dish. 


Mix cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning until smooth. 
(I heated it in the microwave to help it mix better)


Layer cheese mix on top of beans. Layer shredded cheddar cheese on top of that. 


Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted.


I think for next time, I wouldn't add the whole packet of the taco seasoning, it was just a little too much for me. And I would probably stir my cream cheese/sour cream more to make it really smooth because there were big chunks of cream cheese still, and I didn't care for that either. Other than that, it was delicious!

Veggie Pizza

I've had this recipe in my recipe box for a long time. I've had veggie pizza before, but I've never actually made it until now. 

2 tubes crescent rolls
16 oz light cream cheese
1 package ranch dressing powder
1 cup mayonnaise
veggies
mozzarella cheese



Unroll crescent dough and preheat oven according to package directions. Place in a cookie sheet. Press perforations to make solid. Bake according to package directions.  


Mix cream cheese, ranch, and mayo. 


Spread on cooled crescent rolls.


Chop veggies.


Spread veggies and cheese evenly over top.  Slice into squares before serving.


We all loved it! But, we are horrible at eating left overs so half of it didn't even get eaten. Like some previous recipes, next time I will only make a half size so it's not wasted.

Baby Sandwiches

Here's another Pinterest recipe. There isn't an actual website with the recipe, it was just all typed up under the picture. But regardless, these are delicious!! This is actually the third time I've made these-that's how good they are!

2 pkgs hawaiian sweet rolls 
1lb honey ham 
1lb turkey 
1lb swiss cheese 
1lb provolone cheese 
1Tbsp honey mustard 
1Tbsp poppy seeds 
1 stick of butter 
4 Tbsp sugar 
2 Tbsp onion flakes 

Cut rolls horizontally (do not split up into individual rolls) remove top. Layer meats and cheese on the bottom and replace the top. Mix and melt together all other ingredients in saucepan. Let cool! Then spread on top of rolls. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes

That's the Pinterest way. When I make them I leave out the swiss cheese and add cheddar. I also only use butter, sugar, garlic powder and minced onion in the spread for the top. And I definitely don't use a whole stick of butter. 





These are so good that we never have any leftovers! YUM!
