I would go with sixteen ounces. With three cups of milk, I think eight ounces would be too soupy.

Or you could do eight ounces, and just have another eight ounces ready to cook on the stove and mix in?

We just finished the Buffalo Chicken Pizza and it was really good. These are definitely two recipes that I will put in my regular rotation. Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread!

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.

I purchased the 16 oz after looking at the amount milk and cheese. I will be trying this next week.

I have a question about the size of box of noodles. Does anyone know if it's 8oz or 16oz?

We thought that 8 would be too little so we used one pound. I would reccommend after making it using just a little less than the 16 ounces. The liquids go down quick.

One of my families current faves:

2 tablespoons butter
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 onion, finely diced
2 (10 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces
Directions
1.Place the chicken, butter, soup, and onion in a slow cooker, and fill with enough water to cover.
2.Cover, and cook for 5 to 6 hours on High. About 60 minutes before serving, place the torn biscuit dough in the slow cooker. Cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center.

YUM!

Just made this and it was EXCELLENT Next time I would use a little less water........but yummy

I like the Italian sausage one, do you think it's raw sausage or cooked sausage? I like Jimmy Dean. I just think about all the grease!

i know what you mean. i would cook the sausage first and then drain the grease.

Do you know how much water you did use? I'm making this for a friend and don't want it to turn out too runny.

My DH actually put it together and he said he used 3 cans full of water to cover.....I think I would try using 2 cans

I don't see a lasagna recipe listed. If there is, sorry - I scanned through quickly. This is from the Kraft website hence all the Kraft brand foods but I've used other brands. It's really good - my husband absolutely loves it and he's really, really picky.

Slow-Cooker Lasagna
1 lb. ground beef 1 jar
(26 oz.) spaghetti sauce
1 cup water 1 container
(15 oz.) BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Ricotta Cheese
1 pkg. (7 oz.) KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, divided
1/4 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
1 egg
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
6 lasagna noodles, uncooked

BROWN meat in large skillet; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce and water. Mix ricotta, 1-1/2 cups mozzarella, 2 Tbsp. Parmesan, egg and parsley.

SPOON 1 cup meat sauce into slow cooker; top with layers of half each of the noodles, broken to fit; and cheese mixture. Cover with 2 cups meat sauce. Top with remaining noodles, broken to fit; cheese mixture and meat sauce. Cover with lid.

COOK on LOW 4 to 6 hours or until liquid is absorbed. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses; let stand, covered, 10 min. or until melted.

We had this tonight and it was GREAT!!! It's a keeper for us. Thank you!

We just had this tonight- DH loved it! I added 1 cup of water, 3 sliced carrots and used salt/pepper/poultry seasoning on the chicken breasts before cooking. I did this in my "medium" crockpot and used 1 can of biscuits and 3 breasts. The house smells marvelous! Mine was finished at 4 1/2-5 hours.

Did you use 2 cans of soup with only 3 breasts?

The flavor was excellent but I waaaayyyy overcooked it. I put my chicken in a little frozen so I added extra time and it was dry, dry, dry. We all ate it and everyone said they liked it...but the texture of the chicken was sad. I will definately make this again but not use frozen chicken and stick with the suggested time.

I did my version of a Swedish Dill Pot Roast today and I wasn't sure if this was in the list of recipies. Please don't be put off with the use of vinegar, it will make the toughest roast super tender:

Ingredients:

Roast (any kind you prefer)
salt
pepper
2 Tbsp vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp of dry dill
8oz sour cream
2 Tbsp of dry dill (save this for the end)


1. Rince and pat dry your roast.
2. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
3. Pour water, vinegar and 2 Tbsp of dill in the bottom of the crockpot.
4. Place roast in crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours
5. Remove roast, cover with foil to keep warm and turn crockpot on high.
6. Add sour cream in spoonfuls once sauce begins to boil. When combined, add roast back in and sprinkle rest of dill.

This is great served with mashed potatoes, because the sour cream gravy is wonderful on top.

Tried this one it was soo good! Thanks!

Slow Cooker Pot Roast
3-lb. chuck roast
8 oz. fresh sliced mushrooms
1 packet french onion soup mix
3/4 cup red wine

Lay the mushrooms on the bottom of the crock pot and lay the roast on top of the mushrooms. Mix the wine and soup, then pour over the roast. Cook on low for 8 hours.

Goes great with roasted vegetables (slice carrots, celery and onions, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, place in a roasting pan and cook at 400 for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through).

Yes, I did use 2 cans of soup. Next time I'll use more chicken in my larger crockpot.

I did the "Complete Barbecue Chicken Dinner in the Slow Cooker". It was really good. I didn't add the cheese to the potatoes but you can replace the potatoes with stir fry vegetables because they will steam really good in this one.

Fixing the Mac & Cheese tomorrow night!
