My family loves this easy recipe for slow cooker barbecue stuffed potatoes. It's a no-frills, dress it up how you want, frugal crowd pleaser!
Slow Cooker Barbecue Stuffed Potatoes
This is a recipe I posted wayyyyyy back in 2012. It's SUCH a yummy and frugal recipe to have in your back pocket!
With what we are all going through right now with being cooped up in our houses, I'm hoping that most of you have everything in your pantry you need for this recipe right now. It's a very forgiving recipe. Feel free to just GO FOR IT with what you have on hand. 🙂
Also, if you're anything like me, shopping with a bunch of kids tagging behind you in the summertime is at the very bottom of your what-I'd-just-love-to-do-this-summer list. Thankfully, my stockpile has saved me from making way too many grocery runs this summer! As I was hunting down a recipe to make this week, I decided it would be soooo nice if I could find something that we had ingredients on hand for. However, this one fit the bill.
In this recipe, a simple slow cooker barbecue chicken tops plain baked potatoes for a SUPER cheap dinner. This is perfect for a busy night. Want to add some cheese? How about some BBQ Sauce? Yes please!
Slow Cooker Barbecue Potatoes
Luckily, we had a few baking potatoes left over from grilling night last week. And thanks to using coupons, I had enough barbecue & Worcestershire sauce to last me at least until my son heads off to college. (Okay, not really, but we do have quite a few bottles in the pantry!) I also had two bottles of barbecue sauce all but cleared out in the fridge, and didn't want them to go to waste. I let them sit upside down a bit to use up every last bit before throwing them away.
