Grandpa had the right idea about a complete meal: a meat and three vegetables. As the chef of my home, my goal is to serve my family nutritiously complete meals, such as meat with three colorful fresh veggies. That’s one of the reasons why I love this crockpot meal.
Let’s start with the basics. You can choose either chicken or pork. Chicken breasts, tenderloins, wings, or thighs are all good options. Pork chops taste great as well.
Next, the vegetables. Potatoes are a requirement, but the other two vegetables can be flexible. Carrots and green beans are typical favorites, but broccoli, zucchini, spinach, or peas will work if your crew prefers.
The sauce is a compilation of basic ingredients that you already have in your kitchen. Soy sauce, honey, and ketchup make up the substance of the liquid (necessary for the crockpot), while the herbs bulk up the flavors. Like with the vegetables, feel free to substitute these herbs for your family’s favorites! Cajun seasoning or paprika could be excellent subs.
Roast all day long in your slow cooker. Toss in the green beans 30 minutes before serving (or steam in the microwave, then stir into the crockpot). Enjoy this meat and three!
