So last week you may recall that I was speaking highly about slow cookers and the MAJOR benefits to cooking with them for your muscle building and fat loss results and just simply reducing your total time in the kitchen while not sparing on great taste!
Now for those of you who already have one here is a recipe for you below that was specifically created for the slow cooker. This one tastes great! Just get it started in the AM and get ready for a fine meal later on at night.
If you don’t have a slow cooker yet, what are you waiting for? Here is the exact ones I have (yes I have two )
Today I’m showing you how to prepare quick and easy Mini Muscle Meat Loaves.
As you will see, it’s a very simple recipe that only requires about 4-5 minutes of prep time and clean-up time is about 2 minutes (and we all know how important it is to have a fast clean-up time ).
That recipe is perfect for any meal of the day (low in carbs) and also makes a great snack.
You can also cook a few batches and freeze them, that’s what I do so I always have some on hand when I’m in a rush and don’t have time to prepare anything, ready in about 4 minutes in the microwave (from frozen to ready to eat).
