How to make the best Crockpot Dishes for a family on the move

If your household is anything like mine, busy with small children, then you can understand that there are times when you do not feel like making those four course meals your family love (ok, I never made a four course meal, but you know what I mean).

The crockpot has been a huge timesaver in our home. My family is able to get a wholesome meal and I am not on my feet for hours trying to prepare something for them. I am also a working mom, so having the crockpot is one of the best things money can buy! Here is one of my recipes for families on the go.

This is my Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches recipe. For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

1 lb of sliced chicken breast

2 tbl spoons of seasoning salt

1 tbl spoon of pepper

2 tbl spoons of minced onions

1 garlic clove

1 tbl spoon of parsley flakes

1 bottle of BBQ Sauce

1 cup of water

1 bag of hamburger buns

I will be honest and say that I really do not use measuring spoons and cups; I pour my ingredients according to how it tastes for me. I have used these measurements in the past; however, it is my personal preference to add as much or little of each as I like.

Side note: You will season your meat front to back for flavor. I have noticed through trial and error that the more water you add to your crockpot, the less flavor your meat will have.

Place your cup of water in the crockpot and add the temperature to high heat (or whatever your high temp is) this allows the meat to cook in 4 hours. If you want it to cook overnight or while you are away at work, low heat will do just fine.

Once the water is warm, you can add your seasoned meat and cook until its done.

You will know it’s finished when the meat pulls apart and is very tender.

Add your BBQ Sauce and your meal is ready.

This is a simple dish that I know your family will love. You may want to tweak it for your liking, you can add what you want or leave it as is, either way it’s quick and easy!
