Can I Create a Crocabalone in My Crock Pot?

[babywings76]

Our schedule has changed this month and there are going to be a couple nights a week where I will have enough time to walk in the door, dish up something already made and eat in just 10/15 min. and have to go out the door again...with all 4 kids in tow.

So...those nights I want to have something in the crock pot. Any good recipes out there? Some with simple prep steps, too? TIA!

Throw some baby carrots and peeled in the bottom, stew meat on top, one can cream mushroom soup and a can of water mix in an envelope of onion soup mix, cook on low delicious...

chop up carrots, put on bottom, cubed chicken breasts, onion, peas, etc, one can cr chicken, 2 cans chick broth, mix, add one tube biscuits, put over top of all, cook on low, easy chicken/dumplings

You can also make a lasagna...just do traditional recipe, add no bake noodles and cook on low.

I use my crock pot ALOT...I have tons of ideas...

Put in a pork loin or chicken breast quarters, slice a package of mushrooms with egg slicer plus of course, put in crock pot, mix together a can of mushroom soup, a packet of dried onion soup mix, and 1/2 cup wine (red for pork, white for chicken), once mixed pour on top of meat. Cook on low till you get home.

Or, take a DCB recipe, fix it in the crock pot on low. After all the DCB is the crock pot for your oven!

4-5 5 chicken breasts
1 can of chicken broth
1 can of cream of chicken soup

4 chicken breasts, 1 jar of salsa, block of cream cheese -- Put chicken & salsa in cooker on lo. When you get home throw in Cream cheese and shred chicken. CC will melt as your shredding. Serve on tortillas or chips, over rice, whatever you like.

Amanda - you know I'm not one for using the canned cream soups....so I like this website. She's also written a couple Crockpot Cookbooks.

A Year of Slow Cooking


I love that she uses a lot of fresh, simple ingredients to make some really great crockpot recipes. She's also really honest in her reviews of how her family liked them.

Layer sliced onion, pork chops & sliced potatoes with cream of mushroom soup mixed with 1/2 to 1 can of water or stock. Salt & pepper each layer (except soup, of course). Cook on low for 6 hours. Serve with desired sides. Also works in oven w/DCB at 350 for 1.5 to 2 hours. Yummy!

Ohhhh, Amanda - I thought of another recipe!

We LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe, and I've made it for kids who have been here for playdates and dinner - all of them have loved it, and I've had a couple moms call me for the recipe, because their kids raved about it! And it's so stinkin' easy!

If I put ring bologna in a crock pot all day, would I end up with a crock o' baloney?

Oh, wait. I had that wrong.

If I put a crocodile and an abalone in the crock pot all day, would I end up with a crocabalone?
