I'm confused – why would you go to the effort of making a single meal for one – in a crock pot when you can easily make several meals at once – put in individualized containers and then you don't have anything to clean up – it's ready to go whenever you want? (Save on electric too!) The recipes look good!!
I would love more mini crockpot recipes. Thank you for providing these.
I bought that exact same mini crockpot from Amazon and I love it… My first dish it was pumpkin pudding. Also I’ve made a pot roast in it but I used dill to season it and when it was done, I put sour cream on it…it was excellent. Yes, more meals for one or two would be great. (I’m actually gifting one of these to my little sister for Christmas, but hers is decorated with minions all over it which she loves.)
Love my old crockpot. I think I've had four different ones over the years, and I'm now 70. The last two were purchased at thrift stores. I do live alone as a senior now and have one crockpot left. Not sure I'd buy a cooker just for one, since I love making a pot of chili or several other casserole type things and freezing the leftovers. (One of my smartest purchases has been a small box freezer, and I think I only paid $139 for it a couple years ago). Re the old crockpots, they can run hotter and can crack. I thank God I was home when I heard a loud crack, and sure enough, it was my crockpot that I had plugged in about a half hour prior; it cracked into two big pieces. I was able to rescue my ingredients and of course had to pitch the pot. I also love using a crockpot for desserts like hot fudge cake or chunky applesauce from the Fix It and Forget It Cookbook. You can probably hit your library, local thrift stores or online at Abebooks for many of these.
What about beef stew in a crock pot
Amazing video! New subscriber.
First time visit to your channel. I am a widow and older and have that little crockpot. There are wonderful cookbooks for these mini crockpot cookers too. I recently made split pea soup that was delicious.
Corn casserole needs jalapenos, sliced or diced.
Great ideas! Thank you! I will keep watching hoping you make more crock pot meals for one or even meals for two, so there’s left overs. 🙂
And your rice cooker.
I love your energy Claire 💗

Great ideas! Nice gift for bro in law but, now you have to get him an extra gift because, you shared half of his gift with us AND he now knows what you got him 😂❤ I'm absolutely loving how, you're cooking the single servings and eating them. Girl! Keep making these vids and make us a cookbook!l
Love to see more meals for one. I am an older senior and I’ve got to were I do not like to cook. Thank you for sharing your ideas.❤
This was great. I’m single and need ideas for just one person. Thanks.

Could you make gravy from the roast liquid?
I’m definitely trying the meatloaf recipe! Thanks for the great ideas! More recipes would be great!
I love single serving dishes all the time. It's just me. I love my 2 qt crock pot for soups & stews.
