Meatless slow cooker meals for the whole family
Check out these lacto-vegetarian meals that my family enjoyed. I tried another recipe that did not turn out. Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see recipe flops in future videos (they could be helpful to see what things don't work, but for now I've decided to try that recipe again with a few tweaks and share it in a future video).
Recipes featured in this video:
Sloppy Joes:
Quinoa Enchilada Casserole:
Brussels Sprouts Soup - This recipe is not overly picky, I've made various adjustments based on what I happen to have when I'm cooking it.
butter
2 leeks (or 1 onion), diced
2 ribs celery, diced
3 carrots, sliced
1 QT chicken (or vegetable) stock + 2-4 C water
potatoes, chopped
1-2 C cream
1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved (or quartered if they are really big)
Kale
salt and pepper
Saute onion, celery, and carrots in butter until soft (season with S&P).
Add stock and water + potatoes (my original recipe says to wait to add the cream, but I sometimes add the cream now), slow cook until potatoes are almost tender (high 2-4 hours or low 5-8 hours), Add Brussels, kale, S&P, (and cream if you didn't earlier) and cook at least another 30 minutes (You should be able to throw all of these in the slow cooker when you put in the potatoes, but I didn't test that for this video)

Why I always have Pickled Onions in my fridge.
A day without pickled onions in my fridge is a sad day.
