Overnight Creamy Crock-Pot Grits

Makes 10-12 servings

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 2 cups stoneground old-fashioned grits not instant
• 7 cups water
• 1 tbsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter cubed
• ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

• Directions:
• Add grits, water, and salt to a large slowcooker.
• Stir well then add the lid.
• Cook for 7 hours on low. Stir once or twice if possible so it doesn't stick to the sides.
• After 7 hours, remove the lid and add the heavy cream and butter. Stir until completely melted and creamy.
• Ladle into bowls and serve warm.

It is important to use “old fashioned” or stone ground grits for this recipe.

Do not use quick grits which is finer ground and cook much faster. 

All you need to start these grits in the slowcooker are 2 cups of stone ground grits, salt, and water.

Do not use milk- we will add cream later.

Add grits, water, and salt to a large slowcooker.

Stir well then add the lid.

Cook for 7 hours on low. Stir once or twice if possible so it doesn’t stick to the sides.

After 7 hours, remove the lid and add the heavy cream and stir.

Now slice up a stick of unsalted butter. 

Add the butter to the creamy cooked grits. 

Stir until completely melted.

Now you have a big crock full of the creamiest buttery grits you have ever had!

 Ladle into bowls and serve warm.

Makes plenty of servings, around 10-12 bowls.

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1/2 large yellow onion diced
• 3 cloved garlic diced
• 2 jars marinara sauce
• 1 box lasagna noodles
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
• 1 16 oz tub ricotta
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• olive oil for sauté

Instructions

• In a large skillet cook onions and garlic in olive oil until softened.
• Remove from pan then add in beef. Crumble and cook over medium heat until browned.
• Drain then add in cooked onion mixture, 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning, and one jar of marinara sauce. Stir.
• In a bowl add ricotta, 1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
• Spray the bottom of a crockpot with non stick spray.
• Cover the bottom with a thin layer of the meat sauce.
• Add a row of lasagna noodles, 3 or 4 depending on the size of your Crock-Pot.
• Top with a few spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture. Spread to cover the noodles.
• Add the meat sauce on top, spreading to cover.
• Repeat for about 3 more layers ending with the meat sauce.
• Pour the other jar of marinara sauce all down the sides and top of the lasagna.
• Top with the remaining Mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
• Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours.
• To serve cut into squares and scoop onto plates.

In a large skillet cook onions and garlic in olive oil until softened.

Remove from pan then add in beef. Crumble and cook over medium heat until browned.

Drain then add in cooked onion mixture.

Stir in 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning and one jar of marinara sauce. Stir.

In a bowl add ricotta, 1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth. Set aside. 

Spray the bottom of a crockpot with non stick spray.

Cover the bottom with a thin layer of the meat sauce.

Add a row of lasagna noodles, 3 or 4 depending on the size of your Crock-Pot.

Top with a few spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture. Spread to cover the noodles.

Add the meat sauce on top, spreading to cover.

Repeat for about 3 more layers.

End with the meat sauce on top. 

Pour the other jar of marinara sauce all down the sides and top of the lasagna.

I have found using 2 whole jars of sauce keeps the lasagna from getting dry or too crispy on the edges. 

Top with the remaining Mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.

Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours.

How amazing does this look?!

Cut into squares right in the Crock-Pot. Depending on how big your servings are you can do 9-12 squares. 

Each square is a big, hearty meal! 

To serve: cut into squares and scoop onto plates. 

Dinner’s ready!

Easy Crock-Pot Corned Beef

Makes approx 6 servings

Ingredients

• 3-4 pound corned beef brisket I used a flat cut
• 1 seasoning packet included with brisket
• 1 large yellow onion sliced
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 cups water or broth
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

• Cover the bottom of the Crock-Pot with the onion slices and garlic.
• Lay the corned beef on top, fat side up.
• Sprinkle the seasoning packet all over the corned beef.
• Add water (or broth) and apple cider vinegar to the Crock-Pot, on the side of the meat.
• Cook low and slow for a tender brisket, ideally  8-9 hours on low.
• Remove corned beef from the Crock-Pot and let rest for ten minutes.
• You can also place under the broiler for two minutes to crisp the top if you would like.
• Slice the corned beef against the grain and place on a platter.

Notes

*Serve with horseradish cream sauce, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots.

A few basic ingredients are all you need to add to the corned beef to get the perfect flavorful meal!

Start with a 3-4 lb corned beef brisket. I used a flat cut this time.

Cover the bottom of the Crock-Pot with the onion slices.

Add 3-4 large cloves of garlic.

Lay the corned beef on top, fat side up.

Most packaged corned beef briskets come with a seasoning pack.
It usually includes peppercorn, bay leaves, allspice, cinnamon, ginger, coriander, cloves, nutmeg and mustard seed.

Sprinkle the seasoning packet all over the corned beef.

Add water (or broth) to the Crock-Pot, on the side of the meat.

I also add 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar to make the meat extra tender.
Thanks to Cooking LSL for the tip!

Cook low and slow for a tender brisket, ideally  8-9 hours on low.

Remove corned beef from the Crock-Pot and let rest for ten minutes.

You can also place under the broiler for two minutes to crisp the top if you would like.

 Slice the corned beef against the grain and place on a platter to serve.

Serve with horseradish cream sauce, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots.
