Nanny to Mommy

My husband randomly bought a few pineapples because it was on sale, thus why I usually do the grocery shopping. He kept saying he would cut it so we could have fresh fruit available, but of course he never got around to it. But I absolutely despise food waste. So, I decided to take my hand at pineapple chicken. And because there were two pineapples, I made one for now and one for later in an easy freezer-friendly safe bag.

We used venison for this recipe because my husband goes hunting for a hobby, but you could even use pork or other types of tenderloin. I prefer deer meat because this recipe cuts out the "gamey" taste if there is any. Plus, with inflation at an all-time high and my husband having all the necessary stuff for hunting, using deer meat just makes financial sense for us. But I realize it isn't for everyone.

My husband is a hunter so we used deer chop steak for this recipe, but you could use any chop steak. I love a good crockpot, slow cooker recipe during the cooler fall months. And this one is so super easy and such a crowd pleaser. I have added some links to the seasoning packets I use, if you want to skip the preservatives and make your own.

 I don't know what to call this recipe. Turkey and Sweet Potato Casserole, Turkey Potato Hash? I know it is super delicious and there is so much you can deal with. Once everything is chopped this is a one pan meal. You can switch up the meat options like lean beef or venison. Or you can also use regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes. The calories and macros just change a little bit.

As always, I use the MyFitnessPal app to find out the calorie count and you can find a video on how to add recipes that I made HERE. Eating foods I enjoy was how I lost 65 pounds and kept the weight off. YES, you can eat potatoes AND lose weight. I calorie counted and worked out.
