LEAH!!! Don't give your fingers a cramp! Just copy and paste them into Word or a word processing program. Then you can have a FILE of Crock Pot recipes. Just print them out as you need them.

This is my personal favorite, but I don't recommend making it for a family dinner, way too rich. This is great to bring to a special event.

Sausage Corn Chowder

1 lb. ground sausage, browned and drained
3 cans creamed corn
4 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into small chunks
1 small onion
1 pint cream
1/2 stick of butter or margerine

Put all the ingredients into the crock pot and let simmer on low for about 6 hours and then on high for about another 2, If it looks to thick add equal parts water and milk.

Soooo good, but soooo bad for you.

for dinner tonight i am making beef tips and noodles. fancy name huh?

any way real easy and i looooooooove this.

1 package beef stew meat (i cut mine into smaller pieces)
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
2 or 3 cans water
1 package dry onion soup mix
seasonings to taste.
noodles



combine everything in your crockpot and cook all day on low. about 20 minutes before you are done add noodles, turn up the heat to high. cook until noodles are tender. serve.

i have used both egg noodles and rotini pasta. both work equally well.

Thanks for the great recipes, everyone!

I just bought a new crockpot cookbook from Sam's Club for $l0.99 called

"Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook. All the recipes are easy and definitely family type recipes.

Some very good looking soup recipes I want to try.

I use my crock pot almost every week. One of my favorite things to do with it is to make shredded cooked chicken to store in freezer bags in 1-2 cup portions I can defrost and add to main dishes quickly. I just skin chicken thighs (sometimes I add skinned breasts too) and put them in the crock pot with about 1 cup of chicken stock. I also add onions, celery, and/or carrots, whatever I have on hand. When it's done, I shred the meat and divide into bags.

I usually make chicken and dumplings the next day. I keep about 1 cup of meat in the fridge, instead of the freezer, and I keep the broth and the veggies. The next day, I scrape the fat off the broth, then I heat up the meat with the broth. I add some water too since the broth is double-thick. When it's boiling, I add Bisquick mixed with milk to the consistancy of biscuit dough, usually with a little parsley mixed in. I also add pepper to the broth. I love peppery chicken broth.

Here's what I use for Italian Pot Roast -

8oz of Tomato Juice
1 pkg. Good Season Italian Dressing Mix
1 pkg. Au Jus gravy mix
Potatoes, peeled and cubed
Carrots
Turnips/Parsnips if you want variety in your veggies
Pot Roast (or can use Stew Beef for a yummy beef stew).

Dump in crock pot and cook on low 8-10 hours. Comes out tender and has lots of flavor.

Hope someone enjoys it out there! My Hubby begs for this once a week.

Yes I love crockpots too! Just got a huge 6.5 litre Hamilton Beach crockpot with my Airmiles points and it's incredible! If anyone has some web sites that include WW points I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks Kelly! I just saved that site and will take a long look at it..... there's tons of recipes on it!

Ok, how the heck do you shred meat??

Kermit shared this one on the recipe board some months back and it is a big winner at our house.

Lone Star Roast

One sirloin roast (1 to 3 pounds)
1 regular can of rotel (or 1 14oz. can of diced tomatoes and 1 4oz. can diced green chilies)
1 package of taco seasoning
2 beef bouillion cubes
1 can water

Put in crock and turn on low for 8 hours or more. This can be shredded (it practically falls apart) for sandwiches or you can add potatoes and other vegetables to taste and serve as a meal. As sandwiches, it will serve two for about six meals. As a roast, it ususally last three meals.

I have a friend who likes to "kick it up a notch" so she uses the hot rotel! Ouch!

Thanks, Kermit for sharing this one!

Shred meat.. is it cooked or uncooked?

Cooked I shred it through the food processor.

Uncooked, well It has to be a tiny bit frozen, and its easy to cut into strips.

One more while I have the file open. This has become a TNT at our house (and with several friends I have shared it with). Thanks to Southern Living...I love that magazine!!

Chicken Brunswick Stew

2 large onions, chopped
6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 (15 oz) cans cream-style corn
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 (12 oz) bottle chili sauce
1 (14 1/2 oz) can chicken broth
1/4 cup Worchester sauce
1/4 cup butter or margarine, cut up
2 T cider vinegar
2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tap pepper
1/2 tsp pepper sauce

Place onion in 4-quart slow cooker; place chicken over onion. Add corn and remaining ingredients.

Cook, covered, at HIGH 4 hours or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken, shred and return to stew.

This freezes well.

Tiggerkeeper...

Even the HOT Rotel is MILD for my DH! That recipe does look good though.

The Chicken Brunswick stew looks good.

 

[CathyCanada]

Thanks for these, I will try some. I have a crock pot I have used once but could really use some of these great ideas to spend less time in the kitchen.
