I’ve started cooking some red lentils in some beef stock, adding them and some breakcrumbs to mince meat to pad the meat out a bit (and hide some extra veg in the meat). With meatballs you cant even tell the difference. What are some of your hacks/tips/tricks?

    Chicken and rice is one of my favorite meals.

    Bone in, skin on, chicken thighs. Cook in the crockpot all day (with occasional stirring, every few hours) until the chicken falls off the bone. Add salt to taste as wanted. My bf likes to use half water and half Swanson chicken bone broth inside the crockpot.

    Next, debone the chicken and set it aside. Use the broth to boil the rice.

    Finally, add the chicken back in. Enjoy.

    Side note: it cooks faster with babysitting it and stirring every few hours, but it’s totally fine to set it up in the morning and leave for work. Just make sure to stir it when you get home.
