Crock Pot Recipes?

[RICHARD]

DO NOT BUY ANY OF THE PREPPED FROZEN MEALS.


I made one once.......I took two bites of it and tried to give the rest to the dogs.

They would not touch it. It's one of those things that make me want to toss my cookies just thinking about it.

Hmm, AmberLee, I think I may have to try that one. I have a Fix-It and Forget It Cookbook, and try to find one new crockpot recipe every month. Here is one of my favorites from the book.
Chicken Parmigiana
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons butter
14 oz jar of pizza sauce
6 slices mozzeralla cheese
grated parmesan cheese
Beat egg and seasonings together, dip chicken to coat, and then coat in bread crumbs. Saute chicken in butter.
Put pizza sauce in slow cooker, pour pizza sauce over chicken, and cook 6-8 hours on low. Layer mozzarella cheese over top and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Cook an additional 15 minutes.

That same book also have a fabulous Sweet and Sour Pork recipe. I have really been enjoying this book.

These are from my Betty Crocker Crock Pot cookbook.

The frist is actually for Pork chops, but I think I have used it for Pork Roast.

6 boneless Pork chops
1 cup cranberry-orange sauce
1/2 c. seedless red raspberry preserves
1 teaspoon quick-cooking tapioca
1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

In 1 3.5 or 4 qt. crock cooker place pork

For sauce, in small bowl combine, cranberry sauce, raspebbery preserves, tapioca, lemon peel and cardamom. Pour over meat.

Cover. Cook on low 7-8 hours or high 3.5-4 hours.

This is more for a party...Sausage Pizza Dip

1 lb bulk Italian sausage
1 sm onion, chopped
2 gloves garlic, minced

1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
1 7 1/2 oz can tomatoes, cut up
1/2 of a 6 oz can tomoato paste
2 tsp oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

1/2 c chopped olvies
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

In large skillet cook sausage, onion and garlic til meatis brown and onion is tender; drain

In 3.5 or 4 quart cooker, combine sausage mixture, tomato sauce, undrained tomoatoes, tomoato paste, oregano, basil, sugar, red pepper. Still together. Cover. Cook on low heat 6-8 hours or high heat 3-4 hours.

Stir inolvies. Spkinkle with cheese. Serve with desired dippers (breadsticks, mozzarella sticks, veggies, etc.)

I think when I made that one, I actaully embellish and put more "pizza" toppings in the dip.

This is what I cooked tonight.....

Brown 1 cut up chicken and set aside.
In the bottom of the crock pot put in
3 or 4 quartered potatoes (I used the red-skinned ones and left the skin on)
top with a layer of sliced onion
top with the browned chicken pieces

Mix the following together and pour over the chicken:
1 can of coconut milk
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 tsp hot sauce
1 1/2 tsp curry
fennel
cumin
coriander
ground ginger
ground cloves
(not sure how much of the above I added...1/2 tsp I suppose)

Cook on low for 8 hours.

I'm going to serve it with brown rice and I using some liquid from the crock for the rice. I debated cooking the rice because there are potatoes in the crock but what else will I do with all sauce???

It won't be ready for another hour and it smells divine. I'll give you a rating later.

Dorothy: I absolutely have to try that one. Thanks.
