The Jack Burton Way to Easy Meal Prep
Now, lemme tell you something about meal prep. Some folks think you need a culinary degree and a set of precision tools to whip up something worth eating. But ol’ Jack Burton knows that ain’t true. Sometimes, all you need is a Crock-Pot, a few good ingredients, and the wisdom to let it all simmer while you go out and tackle the world—or at least your workout. Rob Shoecraft, the maestro of muscle meals, swears by this recipe for its simplicity and effectiveness, and if Rob says it’s good, then you better believe it is.
Ingredients for Success
Now, what are we talkin’ here, you ask? We’re talking about a meal that’s fit for a king—or at least a bodybuilder with a king-sized appetite. Here’s what you need to toss into that trusty Crock-Pot of yours:
- 3-pound bag of frozen chicken breasts
- 2 cans of black beans
- 2 cans of corn
- 1 jar of salsa
- 1 block of cream cheese
Now, I know what you’re thinkin’. “Jack, you can’t just throw a bag of frozen chicken into a Crock-Pot!” Well, my friend, Rob Shoecraft would beg to differ. He tosses it in there like he’s throwing down the gauntlet, and by morning, he’s got a meal that’s as ready as a trucker with a full tank of diesel.
The Magic of Letting It Simmer
Here’s where the magic happens. You throw all of that goodness into your Crock-Pot the night before. Set it on low, and let it marinate in its own glory for about 8 to 10 hours, while you catch some Zs and dream of your next set of squats. When you wake up, toss in that block of cream cheese, let it melt for about 30 minutes, and bam! You got yourself a meal that’ll fuel your workouts and maybe even your spirit, too.
Keeping It Simple and Effective
You know what ol’ Jack Burton says about keeping things simple? “If it works, don’t fix it.” Rob’s got this meal split into six servings, and he doesn’t fuss with all those little containers like some folks do. He just eats it straight outta the pot, measuring his gains more in terms of how he feels than how it looks on a scale. ‘Cause at the end of the day, it’s not about the flavor, pal—it’s about the gains.
Macros That Make a Difference
Now, any bodybuilder worth their weight in protein knows that macros matter. This hearty meal serves up about 47 grams of carbohydrates, 62 grams of protein, and 20 grams of fat per serving. And if you’re thinking, “That sounds like a lot,” remember: it’s all about fueling those muscles for greatness. Rob’s been chowing down on this concoction for weeks, even when it started to wear on him a bit. But hey, like the man says, it’s not about the flavor—it’s about the gains.
Adjust as You See Fit
Now, this ain’t a one-size-fits-all kind of dish. Feel free to get creative, folks. Maybe you wanna throw some rice under there, or swap the salsa for something with a little more kick. You do you, ’cause at the end of the day, you’re the one eatin’ it. And as ol’ Jack Burton would say, “The world’s your oyster, but only if you can crack it open.”
Why This Recipe’s a Keeper
Rob Shoecraft calls this his staple, and for good reason. It’s quick, it’s easy, and more importantly, it gets the job done. Just like a trusty old semi hauling freight across the country, this recipe delivers—every time. So why not give it a spin? You might just find yourself on the road to bigger and better things, one crock at a time.
So there ya have it, folks. The College Boy Crock-Pot Recipe, a meal that’s as dependable as ol’ Jack Burton himself. Give it a whirl, and remember: when you’re lifting those weights or stirrin’ that pot, you’re not just fueling your body—you’re fueling your journey. And that, my friends, is the kind of wisdom you don’t find in any cookbook.
