Thirty-One's Fresh Market Thermal Makes Potluck Super Easy

My pal Jax gifted me this to try and let me tell you- I am now a Thirty-One convert- I love this bag! I like to make buffalo chicken dip in the crockpot, but sometimes I’m unable to carry the crockpot- but with this new bag, I can make & take easily!

The Fresh Market Thermal is a stylish, portable thermal that’s large enough to hold two 9"x 13" casserole dishes. A must-have for family picnics, tailgating, trips to the beach, days on the boat, potlucks, grocery shopping or weekend camping. Its water-resistant Leak Lock thermal lining means you can add ice to this cooler bag to keep food and drinks cold.

Engchik Eats savory beef and provolone crepes with caramelized onions and Sriracha ketchup

For this recipe- I was trying to think out of the box, and I came up with a few of my favorite things- all rolled into one- my Cheesesteak Crepes.

- A package of stew meat or beef cubes
- 1/4 glass of red wine
- 6 sweet onions
- a package of fresh whole mushrooms
- 4 fresh crepes
- olive oil
- butter
- salt, pepper, garlic salt, and onion salt
- bottle of sriracha
- ketchup

After the beef and onions cooked for 5 hours in the Crock Pot, I added freshly sliced mushrooms, and let everything slow cook for another hour.

In my other white crock pot, I caramelized onions for about 12 hours- I used sweet onions sliced up, a dash of olive oil, and a teaspoon of butter, and let those onions create a caramelized flavor to add a sweet heat to this delicious dinner.

When dinner was about ready, I made the crepes then laid out provolone cheese and added the caramelized onions.
Then I added the beef and mushroom mixture.
The beef had shredded to melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness, and the onions were sweet.
The provolone added a sharp kick, and I added garlic salt and a few drops of sriracha to the ketchup for a savory topping.
