Hooray! I love crockpot threads! I've gotten such good ideas in the past.
Thanks for the link to the recipe site!
Here are a few I've pulled and tried before:
***Crockpot Macaroni and Cheese
8oz. box of macaroni-cooked and drained
3 cups shredded Mild cheddar cheese (I used sharp this time)
1 cup shredded Mozzerella cheese
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 stick margarine
1 large can evaporated milk
Salt and Pepper
Melt margarine in crock pot.
Layer macaroni and cheese.
Beat eggs and add both milks.
Pour into crockpot over macaroni and cheese.
Top with remaining cheese.
Turn crockpot on low and cook 3 hours.
***Crock pot Roast
I never add water when cooking a roast in the crockpot. I find that the roast has its own water and if I add water it is way too much water! I also love the 3 packet roast (1 packet of ranch dressing mix, italian dressing mix and french onion dressing mix) which I mix together in a measuring cup. I quarter some potatoes and put them in the bottom of the pot and then sprinkle some of the dressing mix over them, put the roast on the top and poke some holes in it, while spreading the rest of the dressing mix over the top of the roast. Pop on the top of the cooker and cook for about 5 hours on low. The seasonings make the potatoes and roast just melt in your mouth. You could add carrots to the potatoes too if you wanted. YUMMY! We make this at least once a week in the winter (normally on Sunday). Enjoy!
Or try 1 pkg of onion soup mix, a little water, and 1 can cream of mushroom soup over a roast. I usually cook mine all day on low. The soups make a gravy that you can serve over mashed potatoes. It's yummy.
***Chicken Delicious:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 C sherry cooking wine (or whatever wine you may have open)
Parmesan Cheese
Rice
Mix soups and sherry wine in bowl. Whisk together until well blended. Place thawed chicken breasts in a crockpot. Cover with soup mix. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top. Cook 6-8 hours on low heat in crockpot.
Serve over rice.
***Hawaiian Chicken
4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 - 8oz can crushed pineapple
1 - 16oz bottle barbecue sauce
4 to 6 cups cooked rice
Place meat in a greased crock pot. Combine pineapple and barbecue sauce and pour over meat. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low heat 6-8 hours. Serve over rice.
Makes 4-6 servings.
***Italian Chicken with mushrooms
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix
1/4 cup water
1 - 8oz package of cream cheese
1 - 10 3/4 oz can cream of chicken soup (condensed)
1 - 4oz can mushroom stems and pieces (drained)
Place meat in a greased crock pot. Combine salad dressing mix and water, pour over meat. Cover and cook on high heat for 3 hrs. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and soup until blended. Stir in mushrooms. Pour over chicken. Cook 2 hrs longer on hig heat or until chicken juices run clear.
Serve over cooked egg noodles.
Makes 4 servings.
***Crockpot Chocolate Mess
1 pkg. chocolate cake mix
1 3-oz. pkg. instant chocolate pudding mix
4 eggs
1 cup water
2 cups sour cream
3/4 cup oil
1 6-oz. bag chocolate chips
Spray a 4 quart crockpot with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and pudding mix. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the water, then add the sour cream and oil and beat until smooth. Add to the dry ingredients and beat well. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour into crockpot. Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until top springs back when touched very lightly with finger. 8-10 servings
and put this on in the crockpot. She thought I wasn't capable of feeding her son the way he was accustomed, so used to do this pretty often...this was my favorite out of the things she used to make in my crockpot. She also used to leave a package of egg noodles on the counter for me to serve with it. Mashed potatoes go really well, too.
