Texas Chili in a Slow Cooker

Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 8 hours
Grade: A-
Make Again: Yes

I made this several months ago, but forgot to add it here, so some of my details might be off a little. I remember I tried to cut back the spices, but it was still really spicy. I added some frozen corn from last summer, and the sweetness it added was really nice.

Chicken with Rice, Broccoli and Cheddar

I got The Best 30-Minute recipes from the library in hopes that I would start cooking more again since I have a little bit more free time this summer.

All the recipes I've tried previously have been pretty good, and so far the two I tried this week are good options also.

This took longer than it should have because I was just being slow. But it still would probably take a little more than 30 minutes. I used fresh broccoli instead of frozen.

It was really good.

I steamed some broccoli and white rice at the same time as this dish and it all was done within 30 minutes. This was very good and super easy to make. All you need to do is cut the meat in thin slices, and stir the sauce ingredients together. Then cook. To only make the Beef could probably be done in under 20 minutes.

The only ingredient you may need to buy for this is Mirin, which is at most grocery stores in the Asian cooking section. (It is cheaper though if you can get it at an Asian grocery store.)
