Hello everyone. I've got my crock pot
0:02
out. We're going to make slow cooker
0:04
sloppy joe's in my sloppy joe's. I love
0:07
green bell peppers and the yellow onion.
0:11
I'm doing two bell peppers. Dicing them
0:14
pretty big because, you know, in a crock
0:16
pot they tend to melt down and we want
0:19
to be able to find them.
0:22
I'm going to be using a large skillet.
0:23
We're going to put it over mediumigh
0:25
heat. I'm going to add one tablespoon of
0:28
oil to the pan.
0:30
Start getting that nice and hot. While
0:32
the bell peppers go in and start
0:34
softening down, we're going to go ahead
0:36
and start chopping up our onion.
0:39
There we go. Let's add these to our
0:40
peppers.
0:48
All right, I'm going to run some salt
0:50
over it and some black pepper.
0:54
Just make sure you season all your
0:55
layers.
0:57
I'm going to cook these until the onions
0:59
are nice and soft and the peppers are
1:01
soft. And then at that point, we're
1:03
going to go ahead and add our ground
1:05
beef. Now, I've got 2 and 1/4 lbs of
1:08
ground chuck.
1:11
We're going to place that in.
1:16
I'm going to break it up with my meat
1:17
chopper, or you can use a wooden spoon.
1:20
We're going to cook this until the
1:21
ground beef is no longer pink
1:24
and cooked through. Just make sure you
1:27
drain the grease out of your meat and
1:28
peppers and onions. Turn off your
1:30
burner. What we're going to do is pour
1:32
this into our crock pot.
1:40
We're going to go over here and put all
1:41
of this deliciousness, these ingredients
1:44
that will turn this into sloppy joe's
1:47
into the crock pot. So, it's kind of
1:49
like a dump and go. We're going to start
1:51
off with two cans of tomato soup. These
1:54
are 10 and 12 oz each. Now, if you don't
1:57
have tomato soup, you can use tomato
1:59
sauce.
2:09
We're going to add in half a cup of
2:11
ketchup.
2:14
We're going to add one tablespoon of
2:17
wishes sauce,
2:20
half a tablespoon yellow mustard.
2:25
Right. We're going to season this up
2:28
with one teaspoon of onion powder,
2:34
one teaspoon of garlic powder,
2:40
half a teaspoon of smoked paprika. Now,
2:44
this is optional. It just gives it a
2:45
little smokiness to it. Half a teaspoon
2:48
of black pepper.
2:51
Half a teaspoon of salt.
2:54
All right, we're going to stir this all
2:55
together.
3:02
It certainly brings back memories of my
3:04
childhood. I love reminiscing in the
3:06
kitchen with old recipes that I grew up
3:09
with. Y'all let me know down below what
3:12
y'all like to reminisce in your kitchen
3:13
with.
3:15
You want to place a lid on. We're going
3:17
to cook this on high for three hours or
3:21
you can cook it on low for no longer
3:24
than six hours. Okay, this was three
3:26
hours on high. The flavors just meld
3:30
together.
3:42
All right, there's my crockot sloppy
3:44
joe's. How to make salbury steak in the
3:48
crock pot. The first step, we're going
3:51
to make those meat patties. Got two
3:54
pounds of ground beef in a large bowl.
3:56
And I just took a fork and kind of just
3:57
broke it up. I'm going to crack in two
3:59
eggs.
4:02
I kind of like to make sure there's no
4:03
shells going in. I wasn't going to use
4:06
any extra bowl today.
4:09
2/3 cup of some panko crumbs. You can
4:14
use bread crumbs if you want to do that.
4:16
That's fine. Now, these are not
4:18
seasoned.
4:21
Wish usure sauce.
4:23
About one to two teaspoons.
4:26
Just going to go across then come back.
4:28
About half a teaspoon of garlic powder.
4:30
Onion powder. We're going to put about
4:33
half a teaspoon.
4:36
1 tbsp of parsley.
4:40
1/4 teaspoon of salt. 1/4
4:45
teaspoon of black pepper.
4:49
Okay, we're going to go in with some
4:50
gloved hands. Mix this all together
4:53
until it's well incorporated. Okay, what
4:56
we're going to do now is form our
4:58
patties. I'm going to be using a half
5:00
cup measuring tool. That way they're all
5:04
the same size. Form it in there.
5:08
Pull it out. Make them nice and thick.
5:10
That way they hold their shape. So, make
5:12
sure they're firm and then we're going
5:14
to place them on a plate. Now, all we're
5:16
doing is searing them on the front and
5:18
the back side and that way it'll give it
5:20
a nice color and it'll kind of form the
5:22
patties. Just going to use a large
5:23
skillet over mediumigh heat. I'm going
5:26
to place in about 1 tbsp of some cooking
5:28
oil
5:30
and I'm going to put in one tablespoon
5:33
of butter. I'm going to give it some
5:35
more flavor. You want your pan nice and
5:38
hot. That two pounds of ground beef made
5:41
eight of the half cup size patties.
5:48
Probably going to do four at a time.
5:51
You want to leave them in there about 3
5:53
to four minutes just to get nice and
5:54
brown and toasty on the bottom side
5:57
before we flip them over.
6:00
All right, I'm going to bring my crockot
6:01
over. We're going to spray the inside of
6:04
it.
6:06
All right, we're going to go ahead and
6:07
flip these over.
6:10
That's what we're looking for right
6:11
there. We're not looking to cook these
6:13
all the way through.
6:15
Right, we're just going to brown them
6:16
about two to three minutes on the back
6:18
side and then we're going to place these
6:19
right on into the crock pot
6:23
and then we're going to start our next
6:25
batch. Okay, so we're back into our
6:27
skillet. I'm going to turn it back on to
6:29
a medium heat. Now, I've taken out some
6:32
of the excess grease from the pan and
6:34
left about one tablespoon in there. And
6:37
all of the drippings and flavorings. So,
6:40
what I'm going to do is add an onion to
6:42
here. I kind of rough chopped it.
6:47
We're just going to cook this down.
6:50
I'm going to cook these down for about 2
6:52
to 3 minutes. Two cans of beef cons or
6:56
you could do two cans of beef broth.
6:58
This will be about 20 ounces. Okay,
7:02
first I'm going to go ahead now and add
7:03
two teaspoon of minced garlic. I'm
7:05
definitely going to add some more. I
7:07
love the garlic flavor.
7:11
Go ahead now and add our beef cons or
7:15
broth.
7:19
Squeeze in about two tablespoons of
7:21
ketchup. One, two. Drizzle in one
7:26
teaspoon of wishes sauce, half a
7:28
teaspoon of black pepper, and one
7:31
envelope of lip and onion soup mix.
7:37
We're going to give that a stir.
7:40
I didn't bring this to a boil. I just
7:42
kept it hot to kind of keep everything
7:44
melding together. We're going to go
7:46
ahead now and pour this all over our
7:49
Salisbury steaks in the crock pot. Kind
7:52
of squish them down a little bit. We're
7:54
going to go ahead now and place the lid
7:56
on. We are going to cook this on high
8:00
for 3 to four hours, or you could cook
8:02
it on low for about 5 to 6 hours. You
8:06
want to make sure that the hamburger
8:07
patties are cooked all the way through
8:09
and nice and tender. I've got asparagus
8:12
in the oven. I'm heating up our mashed
8:14
potatoes on the back stove here. We're
8:16
going to need to thicken this gravy in
8:18
here. I'm going to take four tablespoon
8:21
of corn starch. I'm just going to add it
8:24
to a small measuring cup. Okay. To that,
8:27
I'm going to add about eight tablespoon
8:30
of water.
8:34
Take your whisk and blend it all
8:36
together.
8:38
All right, let's add this to the crock
8:39
pot.
8:41
Go in with a slurry.
8:45
Just going to mix this around.
8:51
I can already tell that it's thickening
8:53
up. Y look at that gravy.
9:02
How to make crockot American goulash.
9:06
All right, I'm going to place a skillet
9:07
on a burner and put it on mediumigh
9:09
heat. We're going to add 1 and 12 lbs of
9:12
ground beef into the skillet.
9:16
Start breaking it up. We want to cook it
9:18
until it is nice and brown and no longer
9:20
pink. Now, while you're browning up your
9:23
ground beef, you can go ahead and start
9:24
chopping up a bell pepper, which I
9:27
already did for you guys. And then I've
9:29
got two small onions that I'm going to
9:31
chop up also.
9:35
Ground beef is almost browned up. What
9:38
I'm going to do now is go ahead and add
9:39
the onion. I want to get that softened
9:41
down just a little bit before I put it
9:42
into the crock pot.
9:47
All right, I'm going to go ahead now and
9:49
throw in the peppers that we diced up.
9:55
Start softening those down just a little
9:57
bit. We're just going to do this for
9:58
another two to three minutes. All right,
10:00
what we're going to do now is start
10:02
putting our ground beef peppers and
10:03
onions into the crock pot.
10:07
Now, I'm just going to use a slotted
10:09
spoon to kind of drain the grease out.
10:13
Now, I used the yellow bell peppers
10:15
because I've got tomatoes going in and
10:18
so I wanted something to offset the red,
10:20
but you can use any colored peppers you
10:22
want.
10:27
Okay, we're going to add all this
10:29
deliciousness right here into the crock
10:31
pot with the ground beef, peppers, and
10:32
onions and let it slow cook. One can of
10:36
diced tomatoes. This is 14 oz.
10:45
One jar of pasta sauce,
10:50
24 oz.
10:55
I'm going to fill the jar up with one
10:57
cup of beef broth. Give it a shake.
11:04
I've got a can of 10 oz of tomato soup.
11:10
Two teaspoons of whooshes sauce. Or if
11:13
you want to go less than that, you can
11:15
do that.
11:18
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
11:23
Half a teaspoon of salt.
11:28
One tablespoon of Italian seasoning.
11:33
I just like to cover everything up with
11:35
it.
11:37
Let's go in mix it all together.
11:42
We're going to place the lid on and
11:44
we're going to cook this on high for 2
11:47
hours or on low for 4 hours.
11:51
Okay, I've cooked this on high for 2
11:54
hours. What we're going to do now is add
11:56
the pasta. Now, you can do this two
11:59
ways.
12:01
The first way is to just go ahead and
12:04
put it in uncooked. And I'm using elbow
12:07
pasta. Once you put this in the crock
12:10
pot, it will cook about 1 hour, give or
12:13
take, until you get nice and tender
12:15
pasta. Now, the second way is to just
12:18
let this cook 3 hours on high and then
12:21
right before it's done, cook your pasta
12:24
in boiling water, drain it, and then add
12:26
it to your crock pot. Either way is
12:29
fine. Yum.
12:31
You want to keep your crockot on the
12:33
high heat.
12:36
Add your pasta.
12:38
This is 12 oz of elbow macaroni.
12:43
All right, stir it in. Get it nice and
12:46
covered.
12:47
Look at your liquid level. If you feel
12:49
like you need to add any more, go ahead.
12:51
Now, this is a goulash, not a soup or a
12:54
stew. So, keep that in mind. You don't
12:56
want it too soupy. You want it to absorb
12:59
whatever liquid is in there. We're going
13:01
to place the lid back on.
13:05
I stole a little spoonful because I
13:07
wanted to taste it. Make sure that the
13:09
flavorings are all there.
13:15
That's good. We've got one more thing
13:17
that's going to happen to this dish.
13:21
We're halfway through the cook time. So,
13:23
what we're going to do is just remove
13:24
the lid, give it a stir,
13:27
push the pasta down,
13:31
and then we'll place the lid back on.
13:34
All right, let's add our cheese.
13:37
Any kind of shredded cheese.
13:42
Mix that all together.
13:46
I'm going to plate this up. Give it a
13:48
try for you.
13:57
Okay, here's my bite.
14:09
Oh my gosh, this is delicious.
14:12
The only thing missing is corn. My
14:14
husband said no corn this time, so the
14:16
corn got left out. But if you want to
14:18
add corn, you can add corn.
14:20
I'll make it as a side dish.
14:26
Mhm.
14:30
I like the big chunks of the onions and
14:32
the peppers in there. Oh, that just
14:34
makes it that's delicious. The pasta is
14:37
very tender when you do it like this.
14:39
You can do it like this.
14:41
All right, give me a thumbs up. Comment
