I love the way a crock pot makes the whole house smell delicious all afternoon.

Love to you, Tipper! Watching you cook calms me down. God bless and keep your entire family. 💜

I’ve been watching old videos all day of y’all bc I miss y’all- I know that sounds crazy but it’s just me and the kids here all day and I love y’all .. made your cube steaks for dinner for the second time and my goodness they are good!! ❤ all good wishes to y’all and can’t wait to see a grand baby soon!

A fine recipe. Can't go wrong with Granny's cooking Tipper!

I like seeing the girls at the table, don't know why i just do😊, and you guys, Matt and Austin, take you hat off at the table! That showing respect and appreciation for the person who prepared the meal you are about to enjoy 😊 It's a long family tradition for my family

Amazing to me that some people find it strange to see a family sit down for dinner other than special occasions. We did since I was born until my Dad's Parkinson's disease got bad enough to necessitate us staying in the living room with him. I love family meals when you talk about your day, what you learned at school or work, who you may have heard was sick, just anything and everything. I think families would be smart to start that with their young kids so it's an everyday way to talk, laugh, and stay connected. Good video!

Im going to have to steal this recipe and make this for dinner tonight. Thanks A lot Mrs Tipper!...In the Southern mountains of Appalachia

Can’t go wrong with Henkel knives. We’ve had ours for over 30 years. The way Matt takes care of knives they’ll last a lifetime. I know you don’t have a dishwasher which destroys any utility knife. We use our dishwasher all the time and never put the knives in. I like the improvised onion soup mix method. Thank you for sharing that. As always, I enjoyed my time with you guys!❤️🙏🇨🇦

That meal sure looks yummy! It is so nice to see a family eat together. Praying for Katie and baby, quick easy delivery. God bless the whole family too.

Thank you for sharing how to make the lipton onion soup!!! It's to expensive to buy!!! Especially when you have all of the ingredients!!! God Bless Us All!!!

Sometimes i put a can of cream of mushroom soup in with the onion soup mix and a little worcestershire sauce.

I love it when you do your meal videos. Enjoy all videos, but meals bring back great memories.❤️ to all.

Looks so delicious Tipper!! I agree with the person who said watching your videos calms them, and they absolutely do I love watching all of you 💕

My gracious Tipper it's ok we know you get busy .

Another scrumptious meal, Tipper - something you are definitely good at. Slow cookers were sure a great thing to help the busy homemaker! Blessing to all. Praying the 'countdown' for Katie & her 'lil bit' continues to go well.

Tipper, this good ole country meal looks wonderful. I’m hungry so I’m wishing I were having suer with y’all even though it is 4:01 am . Enjoy!

😂 you're having a CRS kind of day! I always enjoy watching you cook dinner 😋

I knew something was missing in the pie recipe, but it is not like you haven't been busy Tipper. Thank you, love watching your videos on any subject. I make my cornbread just like you do, but I use Martha white cornmeal which is just like my grandparents did.

I love Appalachia and watching your related videos... So beautiful in every aspect. 😊

I still love cold corn bread for breakfast. Crumbled in a bowl with sweet milk; my Dad and Mom poured Buttermilk on theirs.

Tipper, I like to cook a chuck roast in crock pot with Lipton Onion soup, brown gravy and a cut up onion, when it is done falling apart I like to transfer to pot on stove and add white rice and cook until rice is done, YUMMY... It is so good, hope you try it... GOD BLESS you and family🙏🙏🙏... Make sure enough water is in to cook the rice...

Tipper, Daniel Boone cornmeal mix is made in Boonville NC.

Looks delicious, this is how we have cooked our roasts for as long as I can remember. Like always thanks for sharing.

I do my crock roast with 1 can French Onions soup and 1 can Beef Consomme , season with dried onions, salt and pepper 😊

I just fixed roast beef in my big black iron pot with fresh carrots 🥕 Sunday. I stuff my roast beef with garlic then brown all sides in olive oil makes a wonderful gravy when you keep it barely coved with water add in chopped onions & parsley. Beef Rump roast is the best with mashed creamed red potatoes and small baby peas. We had Key Lime Pie for dessert. I don’t have a granny to borrow from any more. ❤ Bless your heart! So sweet how your daughter kept saying that. I should have gone to the store and bought some yeast rolls to go with our meal. 🎉

Many days I will put on your old videos also Watch them over and over., its very relaxing & fun.,watching your videos🙏 God bless you all🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Linda from Ct

You prepare such good food , most of it you grow which is wonderful, such a good family , God BLess you all Thank You

The #8 on the cast iron skillet correlates to the size of the eyes on an antique wood stove. Did not know that bit of history! The meal looks awesome!

That kitchen is a dream! A flour that is better than White Lily?!? I must try! ♥

Oh I use that recipe (close enough) with all fresh, even sliced onions. I especially like using the crock pot in the warm weather because it doesn't heat the kitchen up. Now I'm hungry hahaha!

I have 3 Griswold skillets. One is a #8--my favorite. My daddy's family was all from Meadville, PA which is just south of Erie where Griswold was made. Love my skillets and large Griswold Dutch oven.

Borry! I love it! No bar·rowing here neither!

Your supper looked really good. When I make a roast, I use 1 envelope each of Italian dressing mix, brown gravy, and Ranch mix. Take all 3 and put in a 1 cup measuring cup and add water. Mix it real good and pour over roast. The ranch dressing mix is salty I think, so I sometimes don’t put quite the whole packet in. I can see in Katie’s face that it won’t be much longer for her. I’m praying everything goes well.

I admire that you have the whole family for supper! Your meal looked delicious. Good variety of different vegetables! Thanks for sharing!

Dear Tipper, I have learned so much about my own family history, thanks to your wonderful lessons on Appalachian language and culture. Thank you! Take care, rest. Sleep. You will need a lot of energy, once you become a Grandma. Blessings and much love ❤️.

It all looks so good! Hinkles are wonderful knives. My brother-in-law is a butcher and he swears by them. You always look so nice but today you look especially pretty. Praying for all of you and Granny.

Everything looked so good!! My ex introduced me to 'no bake cheesecake'! Ironically, I too have a roast cooking in my crock pot! Katie has really been on my mind lately. Praying for a very easy delivery!

Looks like a meal my mother and I would serve except we use chuck roast. When the garden stuff comes in, we cut up tomatoes, cukes, add green onions and any other vegs that are growing. Can't beat fresh vegetables. BTW I love my slow cooker for cooking the meat. It makes it so tender and good tasting. The gravy is wonderful that I make from the drippings also.

I love my Henckel knives. I've had mine more than 30 years. They take good edge and hold it. I put a real good edge on them about every other year and then just do touch-ups on them to keep them sharp in between. I'm sure Matt will keep yours in good shape. You can do that growing green onions from the root end trick with store-bought ones, too. It works about 80% of the time. I have a pot of green onions I grew that way. I didn’t harvest all of them and left some to flower and go to seed. Now the 3rd generation of those store-bought onions are about to bloom. I love that can buy them once and then harvest them twice more. Also, if I ever buy a bunch and aren't going to use them all right away, I stick the ones I don’t use in pot of dirt to stay fresh. It's much better than letting them turn to slime in the fridge, even though sometimes some of them get away from me and end up 2 feet tall. 😁

Okay, I'll make the cheesecake. It looks both easy and delicious. I already have a crock pot recipe for beef roast. I brown mine first but other than that, it's pretty much the same. Although I didn't realize I was making onion soup mix lol 😂😂😂 I also add red pepper flakes and cayenne but that's for the guys. I have some spicy dudes to feed 😅

👩🏻‍💻I would use the Lipton Soup but it turned out tasting salty. I am sure the potatoes and butternut absorbs the salt in Granny's recipe. I like the idea of you onion mix because there is no salt, unless I missed hearing you mention it. Sounds delicious.

Thank you very much for posting this! Supper looks so good y'all! I will use this recipe it's great to have crock pot recipes for busy days! Makes life easier! Hugs xx

That looks so delicious, Tipper! I want to try that roast and pie myself! Thank you for sharing 😊

Ah Tipper cooking in the kitchen. Kaching! Divine. I'm 68, I've been cooking all my life, and I always learn something new from you.

I was wondering about the sweeting in the pie lol, your supper looks delicious.

Love y'all's cooking videos thanks for sharing 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Exactly how my mother would make pot roast. I remember coming home from church and she’d get the roasting pan out of the oven - it would be sooo good! In later years she would make it in the crockpot.

I love that you clean out every bit of of goodness from the bowl with a spatula ❤

I’m glad you remembered that sweetened condensed milk, otherwise that would be a sour pie. You were having a very busy day. I’ve had a couple days like that lately! I say “I’m meeting myself coming and going!” Your meal looks delicious!

Tipper, as always, your meal looks absolutely delicious ❤. I know yall are very excited about your FIRST GRANDSON, BABY COMING. VERY VERY SOON❤❤. That definitely could be your state of forgetfulness and confusion. I’m so excited for Katie and ALL of you. I can hardly wait myself!! Praying for all to go smoothly for Mommy nd baby 💕🙏🙏. Gods Blessings to all of you ❤️

Fixed your tender cube steak from the cookbook. So delicious! Added onions and mushrooms just because we love them. Also love the ham steak. I am so glad you shared with us. Since this is how I cook, down home, I enjoy new ideas or a different way to fix a favorite.

My mouth is watering. Bless your heart Tipper. You had a busy day and did up all the dishes. After having 50-60 and 70-degree weather, it's been cold this week in Michigan, and tomorrow 2-4 inches of snow, but beautiful blue skies.

My dad loved green onion too: he would dip it in vinegar and salt! Totally forgot that memory until this video 🫶🏻

How funny, I was going to make this tomorrow. Great minds... we also used either the dry soup mix or Italian dressing. We never measured anything either. Everything was a cup. Not the measurement but a glass. About half of a whiskey glass.🤫

Thank you for sharing this beef and potatoes recipe. I would always put my beef on the bottom and veggies on top and tons and tons of broth/water on top. Makes a huge difference putting the meat on top. We really enjoyed it. You made me look good. :) Thanks again.

If you have just the right amount of flour, mixed in the cornbread, it won’t crumble as much. I usually fry my cornbread, but oven baked is great too!!! All of your suppers remind me of my childhood in Tennessee! I love watching you cook.

Tipper, I like to add a can of cream of mushroom soup along with the onion soup mix when I make that roast. Try it, I believe you’ll really like it. Ya don’t add milk to the can, just spread it over the meat then sprinkle the dry soup mix half on the roast & half on top of the mushroom soup. ❤😊❤

We love that pie recipe too!! One thing we do differently is put it in a regular pie crust. Just bake it off, store bought or homemade, and when that cools just fill it and refrigerate. So good! We like pie cold, so that might be why we like it. ❤

Mm, that beef roast looks delicious and making your own version of Lipton's onion soup is such a good idea! I haven't had a good beef roast in a long time. My crockpot died and I haven't gotten a new one yet or I would try that tomorrow!

What a yummy looking supper!

Thank you for sharing this.

Looks so good Tipper! Feed that sweet baby Ms. Katie! He's a coming! ❤ Thanks Tipper for the recipes! Praying for you all!

It’s the better than bouillon beef, chicken, or vegetable concentrated stock. Love the food. It all looks delicious. Thanks Tipper. 😊 Also, Henckels is a good brand of knives. ❤

I always sear the meat and place it second in the pot with celery and onions on the bottom. I brown onions I place on top of meat with carrots.

My husband passed away earlier this month. I'm now catching up on your videos. As I expected, I'm finding a great deal of comfort in them.

I can’t lift cast iron anymore so I gave it all to my son and his wife and kids. I still bake my cornbread in a skillet it’s a red copper skillet and works fine. I miss my cast iron though.

We all have days of mix-ups! Was listening to the news last night and the guy was having a rough time of it, smoothed things out, and then had a couple more. Thanks for the onion soup mix recipe. I'm going to make a batch to have on hand. Great for dip, too!

Love that beef recipe. We love hudson cream self rising cornmeal. So good to have garden onions this time of year. The sizzle is the best part. That's a feast. Yum. Yall have a blessed night.

So Hungry now for Roast. Just wanted to pass this on. I put some Ranch dressing mix in mine once. Loved it and now do every time . Have a blessed day

Did you all get the wind yesterday that we got in VA, Shenandoah Valley? It was terrible and caused a bunch of fires from downed power lines. Nicer today, but still a little cold. I haven't seen any gardens started here yet. Have a roast ready for Easter and might try your crock pot idea instead of the oven. 🐰🌷

I live just a few miles from Booneville. I like Martha White buttermilk mix cornmeal. That tip of the hot pan for the batter makes excellent corn bread.

Another wonderful family dinner! My mom would make a pie like yours and she added crushed pineapple to it - so good!

My Aunt found that same recipe many years ago and it's been a family favorite ever since. We always had it with the cherries! I keep the ingredients on hand too! 😊

Your videos and your daughter's videos get me through some rough times. Ive been sick a long time, and when im having trouble eating, i can put on one of your videos, and it takes my mind away from what I'm having to do. God bless you and your family!🙏❤️😊

Hello Ms Tipper… I have been in the hospital all this week, and your channel’s videos have gotten me thru the long long nights by bringing to calm me down between my prayers to the Lord. I am home again, and back to normal life. Thank you and bless you in Jesus’ name✨

Love love love your videos! So comforting in this crazy world! I saw in a previous video you mentioning your “favorite” Appalachian Cookbook. What was it again? I’m pretty sure I have it, but to make sure. My wife and I bought a little house in a holler in Cosby, Tn… not far from you guys! We love the lifestyle and can’t learn enough! Your simple biscuit recipe is already our family favorite. God bless you and your family ❤️

Looks delicious!! The pan is most likely a 10" in other brands. Also, once you add the mayo, let it sit in the fridge overnight to get the real flavor. I found when I make coleslaw, it tastes best the next day.

I love cooking in the crock pot. So easy! Hope y'all are doing well, God bless!

Yum, delicious looking family meal! May the Lord continue to bless your precious family! 😀❤️

Oh goodness I was laughing! I understand tipper! I have 4 boys and I home cook everything so my brain is like this all the time haha! It happens to all of us 😂❤I can’t imagine having to explain everything step by step so I’d say you’re doin pretty good

👋💙🙏💙👋Granny’s roast is very similar to one of my recipes. I also slice an onion or two in mine. Turns out so tender and very delicious. Have a great day dear friends. 👍💙🙏💙👋 Jennifer

When we lived in Germany as an Army family there was a J.A. Hinkels shop downtown. I have 2 sets of steak knives from there . We bought those in 1983 & they have just been the best & only steak knives we've had since then. My hubby always said the Hinkel knives were very good ones. He was a knife collector. Your supper looks just delicious!!!

❤Thanks for including all your ingredients mistakes and omissions! I was berating myself for doing a whole load of laundry with the detergent sitting there waiting to be added. I had to wash it all twice! You made me giggle and remember to forgive myself. You are a blessing to me.

Beautiful in Georgia today! My hubby and I played golf! So much fun❤. I love watching you prepare a meal ❤

I always put a roast in the bottom of my crock pot and veggies on top. Maybe I did it wrong. Everything looked so delicious. I make the pie and need to do so soon. Thanks for sharing. ❤ Patti.

I've gotten green onions from the market and put them in a glass of water in the kitchen. I cut off the green part for cooking whenever I need some, and then it grows more green part. After a while, I think it runs out of nutrients and doesn't do well. So, I think I'm going to plant them in a trough of soil in the kitchen window and see how well it works.

Supper looked great. I could just taste that cornbread in a glass of milk 😮. Not sure if you’ve ever made Mississippi Pot Roast-but it is wonderful….and it’s a crock pot cooking meal. Take a chuck roast-or your preference of cuts, put it in crock pot, take one pack dry ranch dressing mix and one pack au-jus gravy mix-put it on top, then cut up slices of butter and place around on top (1/3 cup) … place 4-5 pepperoncini peppers(whole) on top and slow cook for @8 hours. It falls apart, and the flavor is awesome. I’m sure you could use different peppers and it would be just as good. I typically double the ranch & au-jus, but I love the extra goodness. No liquid, etc. I know you like trying different things, so I thought I would mention it. It won’t be long until you’re going to need quick meals-grand baby and garden will be your life ❤

Always love when you show us your suppers. I'm between houses right now-moving-but would like to try it once I get settled!

I just finished eating dinner but this makes he hungry all over again. It looks wonderful 🫶🙏

Roast in the crockpot with veggies is one of our favorite Sunday lunches. 😋 Mama always got a chuck roast, potatoes, carrots, and onions, and used Beefy Mushroom soup instead of Lipton. Yummy good. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. Hugs 🤗 and God bless ❤🙏❤️

That no bake cheesecake recipe is a really old Bordens Eagle Brand recipe, it was originally called Cherrio Cream Cheese pie, I think it came out in the 1940s. The old mill in Boonville is about 30 minutes from me up Highway 601 up above Yadkinville. If you come to Boonville let me know and ill meet yall for lunch or dinner , there are a few good old country restaurants there, the Boonville flour mill also makes good self rising flour.

What a meal delicious looking good to. See miss Katie and Tipper and Matt with his delicious meal on his plate your a number one cook Tipper ❤️ Shelby

Tipper, until you get to Boone, just look for self rising stone ground corn meal which is really the key. My husband always loved my cornbread because it didn’t crumble. I let the batter sit just a minute or two before I stir it up and put it in my hot skillet. Your meal looks awesome!

OH My Tipper what a delicious homemade meal especially the potatoes and cornbread. I use to fix my roast like that i always loved it. Sitting here at 5a.m. wanting a plate of your wonderful food i honestly just cant eat much anymore and so much my stomach can't handle but i still love seeing it remembering the good times cooking for the family my kids being home thinking it would always be that way. Tipper you are so blessed to have beautiful daughters that want to be around their parents they enjoy sitting down and eating and carrying on a conversation. God has sure blessed you and Matt plus blessed Corie with a wonderful husband that enjoys his in-laws not putting them down and don't want to be around them. Corie picked a man that has so much the same qualities of her daddy she learned how she should be treated by watching her loving parents. That is a valuable life lesson . I hope Granny is doing well i miss seeing her lovely face and hearing her sweet voice . I don't mean to pry i was wondering if granny every feels like coming up and eating supper with the family or you all just pack up everything and go down there and eat with her? I know life gets so busy with having to run here and there doing things for others and when you take her to Dr appointment or whatever that's spending time with her but from someone who is by myself but my little dogs that keep me sane 99% of the time I reply on others to help me get the mu many Dr appointments and to grocery store. I always feel guilty for taking them away from their chores their obligations their families its always in a rush it would be nice to just sit laugh and eat for a few minutes with them. Iknow I'm projecting and in know way implying you don't take the time anyone can see what a outstanding family you all are but sometimes life gets so hectic we might forget the older ones in the rush . Im sorry I always write a novel to you and don't mean to take your time away from your life I just feel like I know you all and i know that's silly. Lo, l'm sending you all blessings and love hope you have the time this weekend to slow down and rest and enjoy your wonderful family. 💖💚🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️💖💛🌼

Love those Henckels knives- Old time German company- have had a few for 35 yrs- still great!!

Tipper, my mom always did the Lipton Onion soup pot roast too. She added a can of cream of mushroom soup too and it makes a gravy. Give it a try sometime…..you will love it too!

Good recipe, Tipper! Also, I had a pumpkin I had since Oct., and had it sitting outside in shade at front door, til freezing temps at night, then brought inside. It lasted til January when I finally cut into it and roasted it cut up in oven with spices and brown sugar! Yum!

I’ve fixed that pie with cherry, strawberry and blueberry pie fillings but I also like it with chocolate syrup or caramel syrup (or both) drizzled on top.

Love the video. Everything looked so delicious. I have eaten plenty of meals almost an exact copy of that one. Only difference is I have never eaten it with butternut squash.
