Slow Cooker Pepper Steak Recipe

Forgot to post this recipe last night. I know a few of you asked for it. This was A-MA-ZING!!! My husband, who isn't a huge fan of eating healthy LOL had 2 big plates of it and asked me if I can make it a regular thing!!!! I served with brown rice, but honestly, I filled up on the meat and forgot all about the rice. Enjoy!

Here is the recipe:

I basically make mine the same way. The only difference is I use a couple of cans of beef broth instead of bouillon and water and I also add a couple of tablespoons of teriyaki sauce and some Kitchen Bouquet for flavoring and color. I just cook mine on the stove in a dutch oven pot with the cover on for about an hour until the meat is tender and then thicken accordingly. One of my favorites.

Can you repost your ranch chicken recipe. I must have missed that one.

Love crock pot food. Also love McCormic Crock Pot packs (about a dollar at the grocery store) add one cup of water to ANY big hunk of meat (I have done leg of lamb, filet mignon roast) and turn it on low. The meat comes out super flakey and moist, pork would be good too! LOVE my slow cooker crock pot!

Did someone say RANCH CHICKEN????? Please, please post the recipe. I completely missed it.

YUM! cannot wait to try this and the chicken one everyone is talking about!

Cooked this one over night for Sunday dinner though would be a good week day dinner, I just wanted a relaxing Sunday compared to the usual cooking. It was a hit. The only thing I really changed was I added yellow and red peppers and ended up adding extra cornstarch to thicken it up a bit but it was delicious, no season necessary because the addins were salty enough(soy, boiulon, etc) I cooked Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Brown Rice and we poured a scoop of meat and juice over it and waalaa. We did mention that we could have cooked some broccoli on the side but anyways it still was filling.

I made this tonight for my son's and grandson and they all loved it.

I changed the recipe a bit too, I thought I had beef broth but it was beef gravy so I added that. I also browned the onions and some chopped garlic and added that. I doubled the recipe and the next time I will drain the liquid from one can of the tomatoes, it was a little too much sauce.

But it was delicious and everyone (except me of course) had seconds. I have always had problems with peppers, I avoid them because if I eat them I burp the pepper taste for two days. I am not sure if the band won't allow me to burp up but I ate it all and not a problem. I love the taste of peppers but have avoided them for so many years, now I can finally eat them again.

My baby (26) is on leave from the Marines and I made his favorite dessert for after dinner, monkey bread pudding. I don't know why it is called this, but it used to be served at Rainforest Cafe Restaraunts. It has bread, coconut, dried apricots, raisins and the custard is made of cream of coconut, milk, vanilla and eggs. And yes, I had a small piece of it and it went down way too easy. Now that is the way banders should eat bread...
