Menu Plan Week of June 30th
June 29, 2008 > 7 Comments
This week my brother and his family will visiting at the beginning of the week, and then we all head off to a family reunion of sorts. I am bringing the snacks and smores. It will be a blast I am sure! Once again, I will be feeding 13 this week, so I took many of my readers advice and will fire up the crock pot for our meals this week.
I will be posting my grocery budget in my sidebar again this month after falling down on the job in June. I have decided on $700 since I will be hosting 16 extra people at various times throughout the month of July as well as providing snacks for the reunion.

Crock Pot Sloppy Joes
- 3 pounds ground turkey
- 2 1/2 cups ketchup
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
- 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
Brown turkey meat, when turkey is almost done add onions and cook for a few more minutes. Put turkey and onion mixture into the crock pot and add the rest of the ingredients. Cook on low for about 4 hours. Depending on the temperature of your crock pot you might want to add a little more water.
Serve on hamburger buns.
Crock Pot Shredded Beef Tacos
- One boneless beef roast
- Jar of Salsa
- 2 beef bullion cubes
- Garlic powder
- Water
Brown roast on all sides then place in crock pot. Add jar of salsa, 2 bullion cubes crushed, garlic powder to your liking, and enough water so the roast is almost covered. Cook on low for about 8 hours. Take the roast out and shred the beef with a fork. We serve our shredded beef on a tortilla with black beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream.
I love this meal because you can have everything prepared in advance, it is great when company comes or when you have a busy evening.

I am going to have to start using my crock pot more often this summer. It really makes sense in the heat.
