This sounds great! For stuffing, did you use a box of Stove Top?

OK haven't read much of this thread yet so I apologize if this has been posted, but this is a favorite of ours.

Swiss Chicken Casserole (not very healthy but yummy!)
4-5 boneless skinless chicken breasts (frozen works best)
4 slices swiss cheese
cream of mushroom soup
1/2 can milk
stuffing mix
stick of melted butter

Spray CP with cooking spray. Place chicken in bottom of crock pot, layering as necessary. Place swiss cheese slices over top. Mix mushroom soup with milk, adding spices to taste (I use garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper). Pour over chicken. Empty bag of stuffing on top. Pour melted butter over entire thing. Cover and cook on high 4 hrs, low 6-8 hrs. Tastes like Thanksgiving!

Actually a goof up turned out great!
My intention was to *try* to make meatballs in the Crockpot, then add sauce. The meatballs were not cooking properly, so it became meat sauce.

1 packet Lipton onion/mushroom soup mix
1 egg
1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 jars spaghetti sauce (your preferred brand)

Prepare the meatballs according to the "meatloaf" recipe on the Lipton soup mix box (or website). Place meatballs to cook in the Crockpot and check periodically. Once browned on the outside, check interior. If desired break balls and add sauce. If ball shape is still desired, keep cooking until firm, then add sauce. Cook until meat is thoroughly cooked. Serve with noodles and cheese if desired. If desired, add pasta at end and mix thoroughly.

Is there an index to this thread?

I would like a recipe for brisket, the yummy tenderly falling apart melt in your mouth kind.

If there is one here somewhere, can someone point me in a direction?

Thanks.

I just found this board yesterday and have already started a new folder for crock pot recipes
Here's my contribution

Black Bean Soup

2 (15oz) cans black beans drained
2 (4.5 oz) cans chopped green chiles
1 (14.5 oz) can Mexican stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (11oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
4 green onions sliced
2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic

Combine all ingredients, cover and cook on high 5 to 6 hours

For a long time I used the Italian diced tomatoes with garlic already added and just left out the garlic, but they've been pretty hard to find lately.

I haven't read this thread for a while, so I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or not. Earlier this week we grilled some chicken I had marinating in big Zip-Loc bags in the freezer. It came out really tough. It finally dawned on me that this had been a batch of "cheap" boneless, skinless breasts...a non-brand name that is sold in large bags. Usually I toss those in the crock overnight and then cool & shred the next day to prepare for quick meals later. Ordinarily I marinate the Perdue ones, which always turn out great. These were really tough & no one wanted to eat them.

I still had 3 other bags in the freezer, so I tried one in the crock on High yesterday afternoon. They were not only edible, but actually quite good done in the crock. (It was a sesame-soy marinade.) The flavor wasn't quite the same as it is when done on the grill, but good nonetheless.

I sliced up some potatoes & put them on the bottom of the crock because I wasn't sure the chicken was completely defrosted when I neeed to start it. About halfway through, I stirred the potatoes up to the top & put those tough ones from the grill that no one wanted to eat in as well. I thought they could use some slow cooking to tenderize them. They ended up on the top. It worked really well for that chicken as well. And the potatoes tasted great in that marinade!

ETA: I never added the marinade I used.

Sesame Chicken
Makes 4-6 servings

6 chicken breasts
2 Tbl sesame seeds
1 Tbl sugar
½ c soy sauce, low sodium
1 tsp ground ginger
¼ c water
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ c vegetable or olive oil
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
¼ c chopped white onion

Place all ingredients in a gallon-sized, Zip-Loc bag & freeze. Chicken will marinate while defrosting overnight in refrigerator.

Subbing, I haven't looked through the thread but is there an index of recipes anywhere?

As far as I know, there is no index. I tried doing it several months ago, but many of the "recipes" have no "title" - just a description of what is tossed into the crock. It was just too huge an undertaking. Sorry.

OK - Heads up. I broke down & indexed this thread. I'll be making the index at "Sticky" thread & moving this one down into the general population in a couple days. There will be a link to this thread at the top of the index so you'll always be able to find it.

Many recipes here had no real name, so I kind of improvised. Also, there are many variations of recipes like BBQ & they're all included.

Each recipe is accompanied by the page & post # to help you find them more easily. I've organized them by type of meat, soups & "other" which includes both veggies & desserts.

I hope this makes this thread a little easier to use!

piratesmate - THANKS! What a wonderful thing to do. I look forward to not having to read through all 25 pages to find the recipes I like. Thanks for all the time and effort you put in to making this thread easier to navigate.

Thanks so much!!!!! So we will see the index in a new thread? Will you be posting a link to the new thread on this thread? I know I'm asking way too many questions, just excited....

Awesome job!

 

[piratesmate]

I'm glad you will enjoy the index. I know I hate to go back & re-read a whole thread (all 25 - 150+ pages LOL) just because I forgot to copy down a recipe.

I'm glad you asked, because I forgot to come back & post a link to the Index. The index is now it's own separate thread - stuck to the top of the Cooking forum here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1915122

All I can say is......... Your hard work is so very appreciated!!!!
