Right? I like the ingredients, but I just don’t think this is a crock pot recipe. The consistency was off. You also have to be careful with putting pasta in a crock pot. It overcooks, expands, and absorbs all the liquid if you don’t turn off the heat quickly. I’d season, brown, and crumble the ground beef ahead of time. Same with the pasta, and I wouldn’t add it to the pot, I’d serve it at serving time to prevent overcooking. Why not pour the moisture 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 the separately cooked pasta? Which then defeats the purpose of using the crock pot altogether. 🤷🏽♀️
Yes!! The onions should be browned a little too. Leafy herbs like basil and parsley should be added in the end. Only 'harder' herbs, like thyme and rosemary could be added in the beginning. Also stir it a little before putting the heat on, so the ingredients can work together. Those compartments look good for the video, but aren't helping the flavor. She'll learn with time and practice. This was a little painful to watch. Especially since the ingredients weren't a bad idea (although I would alter the proportion) 😅
I could have sworn I saw a lot of raw pink in that beef when she first started stirring up the food... Never the less, I think the concept of what she did is a very good idea but only I just would've let it cooked a little while longer than just two hours, maybe something like 3 in a hafe hours... I mean it actually takes just 1 whole hour alone just for the crockpot to get going ... So if something takes 3 hours to cook then your supposed to set your timer for four hours when dealing with a crockpot, and the first hour of the crockpot cooking doesn't count... You never supposed to count the first hour simply because the first hour of the crockpot is when it's just starting to heat up... So many people don't realize that and make that mistake time and time again, her casserole dish l believed only cooked for one hour instead of two hours because she set the time for two hours and not three... Folks remember when you're cooking in a slow cooker the first hour do not count, always put an initial one hour on the initial time that you set on your crockpot...
The recipe looks good, but if I’m making it it’s going to be on the stovetop with the beef and veggies browned and the rest of the ingredients simmered on low for about an hour before adding the pasta…….🤔
Why wouldn't you mix before adding the paste? I mean i think thats just common sense 😂 that way you can chop up that ground beef that should have been pre cooked and drained anyway... but maybe one day you'd figure this kinda stuff out and stop missinforming your younger viewer's and makeing a generation of young people who are clueless in the kitchen 🤔 just a thought.
@@user-vd8wt1kv8v so go back and proof read you're reply because it's way out in leftfield and makes absolutely no sense... and what she does is an abomination to cooking and makes using a crockpot look horrible....
Every time I watch one of her videos, I'm shocked by how people are seemingly okay with her questionable cooking skills. I hope she's trolling for views because this can't be real 😂
Interesting base recipe. I prefer to brown the ground beef ahead of time-probably after supper the night before-breaking apart as I go, then drain and store in the fridge till prepping the following day. I’d need to add more veggies in that slow cooker if it’s to be the main meal. I’m all about adding a sneaky vegetable into a dish when possible.😊
Oh, I never heard of browning ground meat a day in advance, but for some reason that sounds like a very good idea. It would also spread the workload, which my painful joints will appreciate. I like to make big batches and freeze portions. This will make it easier for me. Why do you do it? Does it also help the flavor or consistency or something?
It’s not the way to prepare this pseudo Italian Goulash. The ground beef is always cooked in a frying pan,and drained well, “before” adding it to the crock pot! 😮
I put raw roast, I put raw chicken, I will put any raw meat in the crockpot and it cooks up beautifully. As long as you have some kind of liquid, not a lot, about 1/2 cup of water or stock because It'll make its own liquid/juices/gravy.
Justine, I’m 86 y/o and learning a lot from you! I’m looking forward to trying them. Don’t pay those critical old biddies a bit of attention. They jealous no one wants their recipes. They can keep them… secret! ❤️ Your friend, Liz
I love how neat and clean this prep is… my kind of cooking … I can see everything very well and clearly follow you!!! Making it right now for dinner tonight… oh yum! ❤

I'm not sure o understand why you don't poor every in the pot and mix right away. Did I miss the reason you can't premix???
@melissaravencraft5573 You are very welcome. And remember, it's not just chicken. You also need to precook turkey, duck and pork. The only safe tartar is certain cuts of beef and certain fish, sushi grade. But things like salmon and pepperoni can have pin worms that can make you sick beyond belief or even kill if not cooked. (The cooking heat makes them crawl out making the meat safe.) Not that you wanted to know all of that, but I learned that from Chef Michael Simon and it has stuck with me for life.
@@brandichokas3671 Very helpful comment, thanks! I only knew this for chicken and pork. Once it has been cooked to high enough temperature, you can eat leftovers cold (after properly refrigerating) though right?
Thanks for the idea and video and just got home from the store and it’s all in the crockpot now cooking. I’m so excited I’ve got two hours lol can’t wait. Thank you
Really people , The ingredients are there ! Cook however you prefer and leave the lady a thumbs up ! Or maybe just start your own channel.. Brilliant idea 💡.. Then everyone can tell you how and what to do to their liking... Smh ... Such discouraging words who are you? In these trying times we have to lift each other up !
No chef/ cook would take the time to make it " pretty" in a crock pot. Throw it all in together, so it will meld and flavor up! This is coming from a person who spent 30+ years in the food industry!
@anothergoldilocks1077 Try running big casinos in Nevada. Some with 3 & 4 eateries. No taco gal here. Think what you want. I was the one with free housing, food, and a darn good wage. Everything free, and $70,000 a year! That's what being good at what you do will get you.
It looks tasty! I would have used 2pounds of ground beef rather than one, considering how much cheese and sour cream is in there, plus sauce. I also would hv browned and at least partially drained the beef, depending on how high the fat content was. I will definitely try it.
This looks absolutely amazing!!😋 You have a pug!!! I lost my pudgy puggy three years ago. She was a rescue and I had her 15 and 1/2 years. Her name was Daisy. I'm addicted to your channel!! 😊
You could also mix the sauce with the raw meat- which will make the meat melt into the sauce- it is how I do my red meat sauce in the crockpot. Easier. Needs some broth as well, but I like my pasta saucy
Interesting, I never heard of anything like this. Do you eat the meat semi raw after mixing in the cooked sauce? Or would you heat that raw meat and sauce combination some more? Very intrigued.
@@EllaGreenn For me, the meat cooks in the sauce for 8 hours on low - the texture is very soft and melty, not grainy or lumpy like when you pre-brown the meat😋😀 The commenter below makes a very good point- dairy should be added at the end if you are using it. And I would pre-cook the pasta and then add to the sauce at the end
@@EllaGreenn I mix the meat in the tomatoes, paste, any other ingredients you use- for instance I put the raw meat into the crockpot, I then add 2-28oz cans whole tomatoes that I puree, and 2-14oz cans diced that I also puree (If you like a thicker sauce, add a 6oz can tomato paste as well). I stir until the meat is fully incorporated- add onions, garlic, seasonings, and any other veggies (small diced bell peppers, celery, grated carrot- if desired) Olive oil, salt, pepper- turn crockpot on low for 8 hours. Toward the end, adjust seasonings and add 1/2 cup red wine if you are so inclined (mellows the sauce) If you like-add sauteed mushrooms at the beginning. There are many things that can be done to suit your tastes. I hope this helps 🙂
Okay I HAVE to try this! This looks Delicious. I haven't heard about it either but I know I need to make this. Thank you for this perfect and Delicious share friend 🥰💞👍🏻
Your recipes normally look delicious" but when it comes to Italian I probably wouldn't use cream cheese or cheddar but that's just my opinion you do you Justine.☺️☺️
I would use plant based already browned ground be’f. Since I discovered Gardein ground be’f in the freezer section 2 years ago I haven’t used ground beef. It is so good and easy.
Cooking isn’t your thing, Honey. It’s okay, you’re young, you’ll learn, it’s just going to take some traveling to the East Coast is all, where there’s no such thing as “hot dishes” (a/k/a “casseroles” for the rest of us) since the 1970s. That dish of yours is the furthest thing from Italian cooking as you can possibly get, which means it’s for sure a Midwest thing. First, Italians don’t use crockpots…..pressure cookers, Yes but not crockpots. Second, ALL the ingredients can never be from a jar or package - fresh only! The fact you think Rao’s sauce is the best, is evidence enough that you’ve never had real Italian food. Again, all this is fixable. Come East and you’ll quickly see what I mean. Best of Luck - see you soon!!
Beef should be browned first & dairy products should be added at the end.
Browning is everything! Especially with butter.

You should cook the beef first, drain the grease then add to sauce
You don’t need to with extra lean ground beef
I’d break it up a little bit first to save me time later, but you risk it getting tough since there’s no fat.😊
You could see clearly that the ground beef wasn't cooked
I make this type of dinner but I do cook the hamburger meat first
I love it... So tasty!!
I agree. I was thinking, cook the beef and green peppers together.🥰
She literally bought her onions precut. You think she’d go through the trouble of cooking ingredients first?😂
Should have mixed what was in the pot before adding pasta.
Best before putting the heat on, so the flavors of the ingredients can mix and work together.

That ground beef was raw on the inside. I know that I'm not the only person that saw that.
I would cook ground beef first then add.great recipe
You need to learn to cook. Never put raw ground beef in with milk products.

Always cook chicken first to ensure you don't end up killing anyone. Salmonella kills.

So...is a roast raw in a crock pot, or not?

You absolutely can put raw ground beef in a slow cooker. It’s like making meatloaf.
No!!
How many will that serve?
I like ur lil pug in the background 😊
It’s like the meat is not done enough

Watch Earthlings & What the Health, both documentaries.
Sickening
Meat wash cooked before putting in the crockpot.. everything just smashed together..too many ingredients..idk...I don't find it appetizing..
You could substitute ricotta for the cream cheese.
I love watching your videos. Lots of great ideas. I came across your video for burger sliders on hawaiian rolls and now I can't find it can you help?
Sour cream can separate and become grainy. I usually just add it about last 30 minutes. Yours looks perfect though.😊👍
😢😢 ground beef wasn't even cooked All the way 😔😔
Would not try
If you sauté the meat and onions would be much better tasting and looking ( this looks like some one throw up sorry )
