Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature. When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger. Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger. Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings. Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface. Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release. Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it. Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted. And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉. Ingredients: 1lb hamburger 8 oz elbow noodles 2 14 oz cans beef broth  1/2 - 1 cup milk  8 oz shredded ch...

Lasagna

Lasagna   All the ingredients and spices I used (ground chicken not pictured)  I started by chopping the onion and garlic, I use a 3 cup food processor and it makes the process too much easier!  Start sautéing the onion ( I added some seasonings in at this point)  When the onion is almost done add the garlic and finish sautéing Add your meat and spices and brown.  Mix the eggs in with the cottage cheese.  Mix you sauce with the meat and mix in the cottage cheese mixture.  Start by spreading some sauce on the bottom of the pan so your noodles don't stick then layer noodles, meat mixture,  and cheese, you'll end up layering three times and finishing with cheese (I had some fresh mozzarella leftover from another recipe so I through that on top as well) I baked at 375 for 45 minutes and let sit for 10 minutes to cool. Finished product (I always add some garlic and more parmes...

Crockpot Pizza

Crockpot Pizza I'm totally taking you guys along for a first time experiment! I'll add in the notes what I would do differently next time.  Heres all of the ingredients I used, plus my 6 quart slow cooker.   (P.S. I have a cousin that works at the Tones factory and its the best thing ever...everytime I see my Aunt I get a bag full of goodies!  We've gotten so many good seasonings like this Italian one.  Last time I got Sprinkles! - Those of you that know me well know I LOVE cookie cutters and sprinkles😂) I had these parchment paper sheets on hand and it was the perfect size for the crockpot, you can easily cut your own or spray the crockpot with a cooking spray. I sprinkled a little flour on the parchment paper, laid out both of the packages of of dough and sprinkled with a little more flour before shaping it into an oval.  Then I placed it in the crockpot and finished shaping it.  It doesn't need to be perfect,...
