Always Asian
I grew up on take-out! When I’m in the mood for something “homey” and cozy I always turn to asian food! I know that sounds a little strange since most people go for tomato soup and grilled cheese or a roast, but I remember all the nights my father used to come home with Thai, Chinese and Indian food. The smell filled the entire house and I just knew I was about to be in heaven. So here we are, Crock Pot Take-out Mongolian Beef served with rice!
A True Crock Pot Dinner
This recipe is great because there’s no cooking of the meat before hand. The only prep work you have to do to the meat other than slicing it is coating it with cornstarch, which takes a plastic bag and about 5 seconds.
Introducing Mr. Cup of Cake
Who’s holding those chopsticks… Parker! By the time you all read this, he will be my husband!!!!!! Crazy. But seriously, he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Plus, he loves cooking and might be more obsessed with food than me! He gets all the credit for this delicious recipe and the cute bowls we took the photos in were even a wedding present from a cousin of mine!
Parker is a great spoon holder too… But he kept wanting to just eat the food! And as soon as I told him I was done taking photos he grabbed a bowl and started gobbling it right up!
You don’t have to top yours with green onions or sesame seeds, it just makes it looks a litter prettier and the onions add a little more flavor. But if you’re looking to add more veggies you can always add steamed broccoli or carrots to the pot and give it a good stir in the sauce and serve. If you add some broccoli you can even call it Beef and Broccoli! Another one of my favorite dishes….
Another one of my favorite slow cooker/ crock pot recipes is this Cheesy Artichoke Dip! Oh my! Football season can’t come soon enough, because I need to be making that and my cute football cupcakes every weekend for parties.

Congratulations on your wedding!! Since I am Asian, I love the smell of Asian food. My mother made all kinds of food as I grew up, so anything home made would make me feel at home
Thank you! And I’m so jealous, I’m sure you know how to make EVERYTHING Asian then! Sometimes I get lucky with a recipe, other times I just sit there thinking it’s not as good at takeout.
Congratulation on you marriage. By the way I just bought Make It With a Cake Mix and love it. Just love your site. Everything I’ve made is wonderful. Paulette
Thank you so much Paulette! I’m so glad you love the book as much as I do 🙂
Oh my GOODNESS! This is delicious. I added the red pepper flakes and I am glad I did. Thank you for this recipe!! I love so many of your recipes and always trust that you won’t share one that wouldn’t taste fantastic.
Many happy returns after the wedding! The aroma of cooking Asian cuisine appeals to me since I am Asian. As a child, my mother cooked for my siblings and me every night, so whatever dish she prepared made me feel at home drift hunters.
Does this serve 4? Thank you for sharing all of your amazing talents! My family and friends are grateful!
