Slow Cooking Thursday

I love doing this Slow Cooking Thursday each week. I love my crock pot and use it so often! It really is unreal how much I sometimes use it. And I love to get and try new recipes, so this really is awesome! Click on the banner above and it will carry you over to Sandra's (Diary of a Stay at Home Mom). She is the lovely host of SCT. You will find many more great recipes there!

With this weekend being the super bowl, I thought it would be fitting to share a game time recipes.

Crockpot Hot Wings

5 lbs of chicken wings

1 jar of Hooters Hot Wing Sauce or make your own sauce from recipe below.

Cut wings into 3 pieces and discard the tip. Brown in skillet and then place in crock pot. Stir in 1 jar of Hooters Hot Wing Sauce, or pour your homemade sauce over and toss around to insure all wings are coated. Cook on low for 3 - 8 hours.

Hot Wing Sauce

1 1/2 cups butter, melted
1/2 cup Tabasco Sauce plus 2 Tablespoons

3 tablespoons dark brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon paparika
3/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons chili sauce

After the wings are done, if you desire a crunchy wing, you can fry in hot oil for a few seconds.

And an all time favorite at our home....

Cheesy Beef Taco Dip

2 lbs of ground beef or 1 lb ground beef and 1 lb ground sausage

1 onion, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

2 lbs velveeta cheese, cubed

1 jar of taco sauce

1 can of rotel

Brown your meat with your onion and pepper. When it is no longer pink, drain and put in your crockpot. Add velveeta, taco sauce, and rotel to the crock pot. Stir all together and cook on low for about 3 - 4 hours. Stirring occasionally. Serve with your favorite toritilla chips. We love ours chips warmed in the oven.

Hope you enjoy one or both of the recipes!

Hugs and Blessings,
