2020-12-20T16:30:04+00:00

Slow cooker beef Stroganoff is a real family pleaser that is loaded with big chunks of fork tender beef served in a creamy mushroom sauce over tender egg noodles. This delicious easy to prepare comfort food has become a family favorite and a staple around our kitchen table.   Michelle makes a delicious version of the classic stovetop beef Stroganoff using tender cuts of steak. But lately, we’ve preferred to make our slow cooker version of the recipe that uses tougher less expensive cuts of beef which are packed full of flavor.  I find that the more expensive cuts of meat are tender

Best Ever Smoked Meatloaf Recipe

2022-11-25T00:33:20+00:00

Smoked Meatloaf has always been a popular family favorite. Growing up in my household included eating meatloaf at least once a month. I have refined the recipe over the years to come up with my version of the best ever smoked meatloaf. Smoking the meatloaf gives it such a nice flavor profile and really complements this popular comfort food. I prefer using pecan pellets in my cooker for this recipe. Other woods that will work well are hickory, maple, and cherry. I use a Traeger wood fired grill for the smoked meatloaf, but any smoker will work well, but it needs to maintain a
