Top 5 Spring Crockpot Recipes

 

Mexican Bell Stuffed Peppers with Monterey Jack Cheese!

I love crock pots! When I first moved away from home it was one of the first kitchen accessories I got myself. I had to get one of the largest ones I could find so I could fill it up and make a huge delicious meal to enjoy with friends. In fact, I think they’re so fabulous that they shouldn’t just be used for comfort food or soup in the Winter… they can still work magic in the kitchen in the Spring! Here’s a round-up Spring crockpot recipes to enjoy this year:

1. Crock Pot Mexican Stuffed Bell Peppers topped off with Monterey Jack Cheese.

2. This Cauliflower and Broccoli in Swiss Cheese Sauce recipe is a great side for any spring meal! Tillamook Swiss Cheese adds a sweet nutty flavor to these vegetables!

3. Lasagna in a slow cooker?! That’s right, start up the crockpot with this Vegetarian Lasagna featuring Tillamook Shredded Mozzarella and you’ll have a yummy Spring dinner with little effort.

4. I don’t know about you, but tacos are a spring stable in my house. With this Chicken Tacos recipe you’ll be able to make simple, delicious tacos and top them off with Tillamook Cheese and Sour Cream!

5. You might not think spring when you first look at this Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe, but if you had the foresight to start your spring garden and plant some spinach then all you have to do is skip to the garden, harvest your spinach, throw in the artichoke hearts, cheese, and sour cream, and you’ll have the freshest spinach artichoke dip anyone has ever tasted.

What other recipes will you be cooking up in your crockpot this Spring?

Tillamook Spinach Artichoke Dip

 

This cheesy appetizer is an easy and delicious addition to any gathering

When it comes to cooking it’s easy to get stuck in a rut, making the same few things for dinner or having the same breakfast cereal for weeks. Every time it’s my turn to bring an appetizer, I seem to come up with the same three or four ideas. I was invited to a birthday party recently and sure enough, I was assigned to bring the appetizer. Over the phone, I mentioned that I was going to try my best to come up with something new and creative. My friend got quiet and then said, “But I asked you to bring the appetizer because we all love your spinach dip.” Well, what’s a girl to do but bring a spinach artichoke dip.

My recipe has been adopted from The Pioneer Woman. My ingredient list is slightly different but the cooking instructions are the same. It turns out, even “The Best Spinach Artichoke Dip Ever” can still be made better with Tillamook!

Ingredients
6 tablespoons Tillamook Salted Butter
4 tablespoons chopped garlic
10 ounces fresh spinach (you can use less if you get spinach in a bag that has less than 10 ounces)
Salt
Pepper
2 cans artichoke hearts
3 tablespoons flour
1½ cups whole milk
5 ounces cream cheese
½ cup feta cheese
½ Tillamook Shredded Italian Blend
1 cup grated Tillamook Pepper Jack Cheese
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
