Easy Recipes

When you're first strating out to cook, some recipes can be pretty confusing! I've gathered together a few of my favorite easy recipes here. None of these require fancy kitchen equipment and all of the ingredients are pretty cheap where I live.

Easy Crockpot Recipes

BBQ Crockpot Chicken - sauce and chicken. It doesn't get much easier than that! Do this with ribs as well.
Easiest Crockpot Beef Roast - throw in a can of soda and a packet of onion soup mix and you're done.
Four Bean Casserole - 4 cans of beans, a bit of bacon, an onion and some ketchup. Suitable for potlucks!
Pulled Pork - a few ingredients but you get a lot of great tasting pork from the effort. Great for parties.
Rump Roast - dump everything in and cook. Use for French dip sandwiches if you like.
