Crock Pot Chicken Parmesan : A pinterest recipe(2 stars)

Chicken Parmesan is one of my husbands favorite meals.  So when I came across a crock pot recipe I thought bonus.  Turns out this one wasn't really a hit in the Snow household.  First off, we like Chicken Parmesan to be crispy.  This is so NOT the case with this one.  The taste was fine but the lack of crispiness was missed immensely.  I am kind of bummed to say this one was a flop.  Now, in a pinch I just might make it again just because it was so easy..  I will just tell my family it is chicken marinara or something like that.  Try it for yourself though and if you liked it please tell me what I did wrong.  ;)   Go check out her site and see if she has better tips than I found.  If you are to repin this pin it from her site please.

Easy peasy Spaghetti Sauce

I have been making this sauce since we first got married. I really do love it. It is simple, SIMPLE! There are fantastic spaghetti recipes out and this is definitely "Americanized", but it is yummy. I just love that it tastes great and is so easy. Everyone in my family likes it. Well except for Boo but she hates dinner. Who hates dinner? Weird child. My other child actually has this for her birthday dinner.

1 lb ground beef
1/2 onion or 2-3 T minced onion
1 16 ounce can tomato sauce
1 16 ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
pepper to taste

Brown the ground beef on medium heat add onion and mix together. Once the meat is all brown and the onion softened drain any excess grease. Add the sauce and diced tomatoes. Add all the spices (make sure to crush them in your fingers as you add them. This brings out the flavor) and bring to a boil. Place a lid on top and let simmer 30 minutes on medium low. Stirring occasionally. Enjoy!
