I managed to get that can of Cream of Mushroom soup, it's Heinz 400 g and cost almost $4.

Will try that first recipe one of these days. Sounds easy and yummy.

Yikes - that is pricey, since a small (305g) can here runs about $1.00, and even less if it's a store brand and not a name brand.


KK: Glad you liked it. I think the potatoes are the best part of that recipe! I could make a meal just on the potatoes and leave the chicken to everyone else!

I'll post a fish chowder recipe later....I promise!

I miss fish chowder, sigh.

1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onions
one can cream of chicken soup (mushroom works great too)
16-oz box tater tots

Spray inside of crock pot with non stick spray
Brown ground beef and onions in skillet until crumbly. Drain.

Put beef and onions in bottom of crockpot.
top with soup then with the tater tots

Cover and cook on low 2-3 hours


I love this and make it often. You can also make it in the oven using an 8x8 baking dish. Same ingredients and instructions. Just add more tots. Bake at 350 until tots are brown. Great with shredded cheese sprinkled over the top too.

Our Senior Citizen Meals on Wheels progam serves this too.

I made this recipe also but only had cream of potato and cheddar cheese soup on hand so I used those. You are right - the potatoes are wonderful. This is the only dish I have ever made that there were absolutly no left overs. My niece was visiting and she ate it cold and loved it - Ha!

I'm making a pork bbq butt in the crockpot tomorrow.

1 pork butt 4 or 5 lbs
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
3/4 cups water
1/2 cup bbq sauce
1 tablespoon of liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Pour the vinegar, water, bbq sauce and liquid smoke into the crock pot.
Rub the butt in olive oil, salt and pepper generously.
Place in the crock pot.
Add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
Cook on low for 10 hours.

When done discard the liquid.
Shred the meat with clean hands.
In a large pot, add another 1/2 to 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar, about a tablespoon of texas pete hot sauce.
Heat all up and serve on big buns!

I'll definitely be making this one. Sounds great!



gini - the potato and cheddar cream soups sound good too. This chicken and potato recipe is a favorite around here, and I love it because it's so easy and a no-brainer. I don't think anyone could mess it up if they tried!

I even made it last night using a 12.5 oz can of chicken breast. I even just dumped the juice in. I only had one can of regular size cream of chicken soup. It still was yummy!!!

[Randi]

Pomtzu, I used your chicken and potato recipe last night also! I used a can of Cream of Chicken and chicken legs. It was yummy - and so easy!

Thanks for sharing it.

It seems that so far, everyone likes the chicken and potatoes recipe. That's great. I've never met anyone so far that didn't like it.

But I'd like to be going to beeniesmom's today for some of that pork bbq she's making. I can't wait to try that one........

It's getting to be that time of year again, when I break out the crock pot and let it do the work.

I'm looking for some new ideas. I do the old favorites like chill and stews, and I have a couple of chicken and beef dishes that are good, but I'm looking for some new twists, but kept simple.

I have one of my favorite chicken dishes in cooking now. It smells soooo good!!!!
Any kind of chicken parts - I used legs today.
Potatoes quartered - no need to peel if you don't want to.
A large family size can of cream of mushroom soup - undiluted.
Parsley flakes, pepper.

Put chicken and potatoes in pot - spoon over the mushroom soup - and season with the parsley and pepper. The soup cooks into a wonderful gravy and the potatoes taste fantastic after cooking in it all day.


I also do basically the same with roast beef - any cut - except use a regular size can of the soup undiluted - and sprinkle an envelope of dry onion soup in it. Again - cook the potatoes in with it too.


So I'm looking for some new chicken or roast recipes (or any other kind of meat) - but kept simple.

Does anyone have any they would like to share?


ETA: I forgot this - for those that don't like mushrooms or mushroom soup - you can use any kind of cream soup. I have used cream of chicken or cream of broccoli too, altho I prefer the mushroom.

I've cooked this same recipe except w/pork chops and I slice the potatoes. Since I don't have a crockpot, I bake it in the oven in a cooking bag. I use cream of mushroom soup, sliced fresh mushrooms and fresh green beans. So yummy and filling on a cold day.

Yum - but I'll skip the green beans Mary.

I'll have to do a pork roast in the crock pot like that - and maybe add some broccoli instead of the beans.

Next weekend it's corned beef, potatoes and cabbage - I promised my granddaughter. That's another meal that everyone here likes.

Just made this yesterday, and it's basically whatever I had on hand, and it turned out so darn yummy, I can't tell you.

I took 1/4 of a smoked turkey that had been cooked, and used the meat from it and the broth from cooking it.

Take the broth, put it in the crock pot. Add in a bag of green lentils, a small bag of baby carrots, 3 potatoes cubed, an onion chopped, and a bunch of cilantro chopped. Add about 1 tsp salt (not much since salt from the smoked turkey is already in the broth. Add enough extra chicken broth to cover the veggies.

Let simmer all day long, until the lentils break down and the starches come out and thicken it to a stew like consistency. Add back in the smoked turkey just before serving.

I made home made baking powder biscuits, cut into shapes with autumn cookie cutters (pumpkins, apples, scary cats) and served them with the stew.

I am so slow - just got my first crock pot last week. So far I have made an Italian Meatball Stew, and Chicken Pot Pie - both were yummy! Right now I have a Cheesy Ravioli Casserole in it.

That's so funny - Gretchen. I have 3 crock pots! One is small just for dips etc with one temp- HIGH!
I love my crock pot.
I make all kinds of soups in them. And I've done the biscuits on top for dumplings a few times. YUM!
I would love that cheesy ravioli recipe tho!
I've done Crock pot Pizza - that was ehh - ok - the pasta turned kinda mushy.

Another good one and I think someone mentioned it already but it bears repeating is to do a beef roast topped with a can of coke.
Also - a beef roast with one can of beef broth and one packet of dry gravy is good too and let it cook on low for several hours.
I just really wanted to subscribe to this thread so the ideas keep coming!

where'd you get Smoked Turkey? Only thing I'm picturing is deli meat and I know that isn't right.
