I’ve said this many times before, but I enjoy cooking a lot more when part of the work is done for me. I like recipes with few ingredients & even fewer steps. One of the shops were excited to share with you during Yellow Friday, is The BBQ Pantry. This shop is packed with spices, sauces, rubs & mixes, ready to help you make a fantastic meal. I’ve been busy trying out quite a few lately. I’ve come up with 5 easy dinner recipes using some of my favorites from The BBQ Pantry. 

1. Crock Pot Roasted Chicken & Gravy

Ingredients:

Organic Rosemary & Garlic Sea Salt

Organic Rosemary Poultry Gravy Mix

Whole Chicken

Olive Oil

Garlic cloves

Onion or diced scallions

Directions:

Place whole chicken into crock pot. Cover in olive oil. Sprinkle a generous amount of the Organic Rosemary & Garlic Sea Salt all over the chicken. Place whole (peeled) garlic cloves into the center of the chicken. Dice scallions OR peel & cut onion in half. Place into the center of the chicken. Cook on high for about 6 hours. 

Make Organic Rosemary Poultry Gravy according to package. 

I usually don’t like gravy, but this mix makes delicious gravy. It would be perfect to add some mashed potatoes to this dinner!

2. Crock Pot BBQ Pulled Pork

Ingredients:

1 bottle Hickory BBQ Sauce

2 Liter Bottle of Root Beer

4-5lbs Pork (preferably pork butt or shoulder)

Directions:

Place pork into crock pot. Cover with the bottle of root beer. Cook on high for 4-6 hours. Take pork out & discard the root beer. Shred the pork & mix in bottle of Hickory BBQ Sauce. Serve on rolls & enjoy!

3. Crock Pot Chili

Ingredients:

Arizona Chili Kit

1lb Ground beef

2 cans tomato sauce

1 can stewed tomatoes

1 can kidney beans

1 can black beans

Directions:

I followed the directions on the Arizona Chili Kit mix, but cooked it in the crock pot instead. Brown the meat & then add the meat along with all other ingredients into the crock pot. 

This mix comes with multiple mini bags of seasonings. Maggie loves cooking with me & this was her favorite to help cook. She got to open & add all of the seasonings herself! 

4. BBQ Grilled Chicken

Ingredients:

Boneless chicken breasts 

Vinegar BBQ Sauce

Directions:

Marinate the chicken breasts in the Vinegar BBQ Sauce for an hour or so. Place chicken on a pre-heated grill. Brush on extra Vinegar BBQ Sauce as you grill. 

I served the chicken diced over salad. The vinegar taste to the chicken was perfect with a salad dressed with oil & red wine vinegar.

5. Aged Merlot London Broil

Ingredients:

London broil (or steak of your choice)

Vintage Merlot Infused Sea Salt

Pepper

Directions:

Season both sides of the london broil with pepper & Vintage Merlot Infused Sea Salt. Grill & enjoy!

This Merlot Sea Salt is amazing & could be used on many different things. This was the best london broil I’ve ever made.
