Easy Easy Easy Chops

1 package of butterfly chops, 1/2 package of ranch seasoning mix, and 1/2 can of cream of chicken soup. Mix soup with seasoning mix and 1/4 cup of water. Whisk together, set aside and slice butterfly chops in half then dredge in the soup seasoning mixture and place in your bean pot. Add the rest of the mix, then put the lid on and cook in the microwave for about 15 minutes ( it really depends on the thickness of your chops. Thinner chops will take less time so adjust cooking time based on thickness.) We had this with seasoned green beans and roasted potatoes , but would be great with mashed potatoes.

Stuffed Bell Peppers

4 bell peppers - slice the tops off and remove the seeds. 

Chop up 1/2 cup of purple onion, the good part of the bell pepper tops, 

2 tsp of seasoning salt, 

1 pound of ground beef 

1/4 cup of catsup. 

Mix all the ingredients together and pack it into the bell peppers. Place bell peppers in your bean pot place the lid on and place in the microwave for 20 minutes on high. Carefully remove lid from bean pot and serve on a bed of lettuce and tomatoe wedges for a carb free meal. Healthy can be fast with our bean pots. 30 minutes from prep to table. 

Gumbo

1 box of gumbo mix

1 box of dirty rice mix

1can of cooked chicken breast drained and broken up

1 lb. chopped smoked sausage and

1 lb of already cooked shrimp (we buy it frozen and just remove tails). 

In your bean pot add 6 ½ cups of water and contents of both boxes. Whisk together till well blended. Next add chicken and smoked sausage. Place lid on and microwave for 15 minutes. Remove and stir again, then put lid on and microwave again for another 15 minutes. Remove and stir in shrimp place lid on and let set for 3 minutes. This is a thicker gumbo, almost like a stew. 

Serve with some fresh made cornbread made while your gumbo is cooking. Important Tip: This makes more than the two of us can eat, so I freeze a portion of it to have when I don’t want to Cook. So before you freeze a portion, remove the shrimp. Shrimp reheated are ok but just not at their best, so scoop those up and enjoy before freezing. You can always throw in some when you reheat.

Shipwreck Dinner

1 15 oz can tomato sauce 1 can sliced potatoes drained

1 pound hamburger browned 6 slices cooked bacon

Brown the hamburger in your bean pot. Drain off excess fat and then mix in all other ingredients. Place lid on Bean Pot and microwave for 10 minutes.
