Alright, listen up, y’all! We’re gonna talk about cookin’ up some ground chicken in that there slow cooker, the one you plug in and it just does its thing all day. I ain’t no fancy chef, but I can make some good grub, and this here ground chicken is cheap and easy, so pay attention!
First off, you gotta have the right stuff. Now, don’t go buyin’ no fancy-schmancy ground chicken. Just get the regular stuff, the kind they got on sale. And you need a slow cooker, of course. Them things are a godsend, I tell ya. You just dump everything in and let it cook. No fuss, no muss.
Now, let’s get to the cookin’:
- Thaw that Chicken! Don’t you go throwin’ no frozen chicken in there. That ain’t right. Gotta let it thaw out good and proper. Otherwise, it’ll cook all weird and you might get sick. Nobody wants that.
- Dump it in: Take that ground chicken and dump it right into the slow cooker. Yep, just plop it in there. Don’t be shy.
- Season it up: This is where you get to be creative, kinda. I like to use salt, pepper, some garlic powder – the kind in the jar, not that fresh stuff that costs a fortune. And maybe a little chili powder if I’m feelin’ spicy. You can use whatever you like, really. Just don’t go overboard. A little bit goes a long way. Give it all a good stir, make sure everything’s mixed up nice.
Cookin’ Time and Some Ideas:
Now, you gotta let it cook. I usually put it on low for about four hours. But sometimes, if I’m in a hurry, I’ll put it on high for a couple of hours. Just keep an eye on it, you know? You don’t want it to dry out. And for heavens sake, don’t overcook it! If you do that, it’ll be dry as a bone, and nobody wants to eat dry chicken.
Once it’s cooked, you gotta drain the grease. Nobody wants greasy chicken. Just tilt the slow cooker and spoon out that nasty grease. Or you can use a colander if you’re fancy like that.
Now, what you do with that cooked ground chicken is up to you. You can make tacos with it. Just get some taco shells and fill ’em up with the chicken, some lettuce, tomato, cheese, whatever you got in the fridge. You can make chili with it, too. Just dump in some beans, tomatoes, onions, and whatever spices you like. That’s what I do when it gets cold outside and I don’t want to go running to the store.
Or you can just eat it plain. Sometimes, I just put some on a plate with some mashed potatoes and gravy. It ain’t fancy, but it’s good and it fills you up. And that’s what matters, right? Feeding your family good, wholesome food without breaking the bank.
One more thing. Some folks like to add some veggies to the slow cooker with the chicken. You can do that if you want. Just chop up some onions, peppers, carrots, whatever you got, and throw ’em in. It’ll add some flavor and make it a little healthier.
And don’t forget about the cleanup! The best part of using a slow cooker is that there ain’t much to clean up. Just wash the pot and you’re done. That’s my kind of cookin’!
So there you have it. Easy peasy ground chicken in the slow cooker. Now go on and make some! Your family will thank you, and you won’t have to spend all day in the kitchen. And that, my friends, is a win-win.
