Sweet Chili Beef Slow Cooker Lettuce Wraps

We love lettuce wraps. They are simple, unique, fun to eat, and come in all sorts of good flavors – plus they make fabulous dinner party food that gets a crowd together. They are simple and fun – and work well for a main course or an appetizer.

We've had a few lettuce wrap recipes we enjoy, but we've been working on some lately that are SO good, we have been excited to share them with you. And the best part of all the tasty new recipes?? They are all made….. IN THE SLOW COOKER!

That's right – these good spicy and sweet lettuce wraps are cooked in a slow cooker- toss in the ingredients, stir a couple times, and out comes an good meal nobody will forget anytime soon.

This recipe is adaptable – you can add a different kind of meat (ground chicken and turkey are both excellent) or switch out vegetables if you don't like peppers or mushrooms. Snap peas, zucchini, carrots, bok choy, and water chestnuts would all go nicely in these wraps!

You could also use some of those as garnishes for a dinner party and let guests add their own favorites to their wraps for a little extra fun.

You can also make these ahead of time and bring to work for a good and healthy lunch. reheat the beef and veggies in the microwave for 45 seconds, until hot, and spoon into lettuce cups.

These lettuce wraps are so simple and good- you'll want them all the time!

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef

• 2 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• sesame seeds, to garnish

Method

1. Add beef, mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, and garlic powder to slow cooker.
2. Toss to mix well and crumble ground beef.
3. Add soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder.
4. Cook on high for 2-3 hours, or low for 4-6 hours until beef is well cooked through (stir 2-4 times during cooking to make sure beef doesn't come together in massive chunks and to be sure sauce coats the mixture- a quick stir will do.)
5. When beef is cooked, drain any excess liquid into a pan.
6. Heat liquid on high until reduced in size by half, pour back over beef and vegetables in slow cooker.
7. Scoop about 2 tbsp beef and vegetable mixture into each lettuce cup, garnish with sesame seeds (and if serving at a dinner party, let guests garnish with sriracha, spicy mayo, soy sauce, green onion, etc as they prefer.)
8. Eat immediately.
