Best Slow Cooker Meals for Winter | What's For Dinner?


Welcome to an all new What's for Dinner episode on The Daily Connoisseur. Today I am sharing 3 slow cooker dinners plus a bonus dinner (for when you forget to use the slow cooker!). Thank you to ButcherBox for sponsoring this video. 






Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef

Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef

Ingredients

  • 3/4 chicken broth
  • 2 Tbs soy sauce
  • 1 Tbs hoisin sauce
  • 2 Tbs minced ginger
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbs minced garlic
  • 1 lb steak cut into strips (flank steak or rib eye)
  • 2 Tbs cornstarch
  • 5 green onions cut into 1-inch pieces
  • sesame seeds to garnish
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cooked hot rice to serve

Instructions

  1. In a large slow cooker, combine the broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and garlic. Add the beef and toss to coat. Cook on low 4-5 hours, until meat is tender.
  2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth and then stir into the beef. This will thicken the sauce. Cook for 30 more minutes on high. Serve over hot cooked rice. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.

Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Stroganoff

Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Stroganoff

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-in. pieces
  • 2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 2 large portobello mushrooms caps, sliced
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • Hot cooked egg noodles or other pasta
  • Pepper
  • Chopped fresh parsley,

Instructions

  1. Place chicken, a large slow cooker. Pour wine and soup on top. Cook, covered, on high 3 hours. If you need to cut the chicken into smaller pieces, do so now and return to the slow cooker.
  2. Now add the mushrooms. Cook, covered, on high until mushrooms are tender, 1 hour and 30 minutes longer. Stir in sour cream and salt. Serve over noodles; sprinkle with pepper and top with parsley.




Foil-packet Roasted Fish with Vegetables

I am going to write out these instructions in a more general way as things will vary depending on how many people you're serving, etc. Cut off a large piece of foil and spray with cooking spray. You can line this with parchment paper if you do not wish to use the foil. Add as many veggies as you like. In today's video I add spinach, sugar snap peas, and radishes. Place your fish on top. Cover the foil packet so the fish and veggies are all enclosed. Roast in the oven on 400 degrees. If your fish is frozen, you will be roasting for 30 - 35 minutes. If the fish is thawed, you will roast the packet for around 20 minutes. Always test the fish to see if it is done before serving. Serve the fish and veggies over rice or noodles. This is a very easy way to cook fish and it's easy to clean up too!

Comment of the Week
Heather B. writes, "I really enjoy your interviews with Dr. Tae, she is so kind and knowledgeable. I'm so glad you talked about portion size, this was so helpful! I have a set of beautiful flow blue china from the late 1800s, the dinner plates are 8", the size of a salad plate today!"

Hi Heather! I am fascinated by the changing of plate size over time. Modern plates are indicative of our larger portion sizes. Thanks for watching!

I hope you enjoyed today's What's for Dinner video. If you have any great recipes, please let us know what you've been making in the comment section. Your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the blog.

Hello, Could you please check the recipe for Mongolian beef? I believe there is a missing unit regarding the amount of chicken broth.
