Print Recipe

Description

Experience Slow Cooker Beef Manhattan, a hearty comfort food packed with flavor and nostalgia, perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef roast (chuck or round) Substitute: Brisket for a slightly different flavor.

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Base – Start by placing the sliced onion at the bottom of your slow cooker to create a flavorful base.
  2. Step 2: Add the Beef – Lay the seasoned beef roast on top of the onions, pressing down to ensure contact.
  3. Step 3: Pour in the Broth – Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce over the beef, ensuring liquids cover at least half of the beef.
  4. Step 4: Season the Brisket – Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt evenly across the beef.
  5. Step 5: Set Up for Cooking – Cover the slow cooker and set it to LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.
  6. Step 6: Shred the Beef – Once cooking is done, remove the beef and shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Step 7: Strain the Broth – Strain the onions from the broth, returning only the liquid back to the slow cooker.
  8. Step 8: Thicken the Gravy – Mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry and stir into broth to thicken.
  9. Step 9: Serve and Enjoy – Layer a slice of bread, top with mashed potatoes, shredded beef, and ladle gravy over the dish.

Notes

Choose quality beef for optimal tenderness; don’t skip the slurry for thick gravy; rest beef before shredding to retain juices.

          Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

          • Author: Chef Emy
          Print Recipe

          Description

          These low carb cheesy garlic chicken wraps are loaded with tender chicken, melty cheese, savory garlic, and wrapped in low-carb tortillas for a quick, satisfying, and keto-friendly meal.

          Ingredients

          Scale
          • 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded, or use rotisserie chicken
          • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
          • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
          • 2 cloves garlic minced
          • 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
          • 1 tablespoon olive oil
          • 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
          • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
          • Salt and pepper to taste
          • 1 handful baby spinach optional

          Instructions

          1. Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil. While heating, warm your tortillas for 10-15 seconds in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
          2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. If using spinach, add it at this stage. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese coats everything evenly.
          3. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four low-carb tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to form secure wraps.
          4. Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side without moving them, until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly oozing from the edges.
          5. Remove from skillet, slice each wrap in half diagonally, and serve hot. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

          Notes

          Dont use too much filling or wraps will split open. Dont skip toasting the wraps for best results. Mozzarella is classic but experiment with different cheeses. Warm wraps before filling to prevent cracking. Can swap chicken for leftover turkey or add crumbled bacon for smoky flavor.
