Blueberry Dump Cake
I didn't have that many frozen blueberries left, so I also used frozen blackberries and raspberries. Because they were frozen, I had to cook it for about 15 minutes longer. I used a suggestion and added more butter (I used 3/4 cup), but I wish I hadn't! It would have been perfect with 1/2 cup. But otherwise, this turned out great and was really easy. I'll be using this one again for sure.

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
This was my first pot roast in a slow cooker, and it turned out great! I followed the recipe kind of, but used some suggestions as well. I seasoned the beef with burgundy beef rub, salt, and pepper before browning it on all sides. Put some carrots and onions in the slow cooker, put meat on top, and substituted beef stock for water in the recipe. I cooked it for 8 hours, and it was very tender and flavorful! I didn't master thickening the gravy though. I tried cornstarch but next time I think I will try using flour instead.

Chicken Meatballs and Spaghetti
I had sauce already prepared, so I only used the meatball portion of this recipe, and it was excellent! I used Ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs, and ground turkey instead of ground chicken. They turned out really well and everyone loved them!
