Crockpot and Easy Meals "Index post 372"

[Mom21]

Made this tonight and it was great! We ate so much I think we may be sick.

I made this a few weeks ago and didn't even put in the cream cheese. DD kept looking at it in the crockpot and saying, "That looks gross. I'm not going to like it." Guess who is begging me to make it again.....LOL. I just served it with rice and a salad. Easy.

Apricot chicken (from a year of slow cooking)

11 oz jar of apricot preserves
--1 t dried minced onion flakes
--1 T dijon mustard
--1 T soy sauce
--1/4 t ginger
--1/4 to 1/2 t red chili flakes (optional)
--6 chicken thighs or equivalent body parts



The Directions.



--frozen thighs. Drop the chicken into your crockpot.
--in a small bowl, mix all the other stuff
--pour on top of the chicken


cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, high for 4-6--if your chicken isn't frozen, your dinner will cook faster.


serve with white or brown rice and veggies.

The chicken was so tender I shredded it in the pot and we had them as burritos.

I have the chicken cooking right now. Tonight we will have it over rice and tomorrow as burritos. The house smells great already, can't wait to try it.

Which recipe are you all talking about?

The Crockpot Chicken with Black beans and Cream Cheese. I didn't even use cream cheese. I just threw a can of corn, a jar of salsa, a can of black beans, and some chicken breast into a crockpot. Easy.

Tonight we had the chicken and dumplings and WOW was that good. We did add in some carrots and celery since I love those in traditional chicken and dumplings. I will be making that one again.

Tomorrow night we are going to try the crockpot mac and cheese.

Yea, please let us know...I'm want to try this!

How was it?

It was pretty good. My dh really liked it. The problem I had was that it cooked too quickly. I think next time I will make it in my smaller crockpot. It cooked for four hours and then I was home from work . It was a little too done. I ended up adding cheese and milk and it was pretty good.

I think I read once on the crockpot365 site that you could put a piece of foil over your meal to block in the heat to the food. It had said that a full crockpot works better than a half full one so if you put the foil over the food it blocks in the heat.

Keep 'em coming!

As a full time MOM, teacher, and Graduate Student, I am REALLY going to try and make all of these!

Thanks to all who contributed! It is greatly appreciated by my family.

I made the Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken for dinner tonight and it was really good. I shredded the chicken and we had it as a wrap with shredded cheddar cheese, lettus, chopped onions and chopped tomatoes. So easy and so yummy. I cooked a 3 lb. bag of chicken tenderloins and have shredded chicken leftover so tomorrow I'm making Buffalo Chicken Pizza.....blue cheese salad dressing for sauce with the chicken, hot wing sauce, and mozarella cheese. I think it'll be tasty.

Today I am making pot roast using lipton onion seasoning packets. It is the first time I have done it this way and hope it tastes good.
