We came home tonight to the chicken recipe posted first. Very tasty! And you are right, the potatoes are absolutely wonderful.

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 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!

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.

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

I'll post the Cheesy Ravioli recipe tomorrow

We loved it

A tip for the holidays and your crock pot...don't throw out the turkey carcass after your yearly feast. Break it up and cram it into the crock pot, add carrots, onion, celery, a bouquet garni and enough water to cover it.

Cook on high for at least 12 hours; you can leave it in for 24. The aroma is heavenly and at the end you will have a lovely turkey stock to use for soups, stews, etc.

Strain the stock and refrigerate immediately. When completely cool, skim the fat off the top.

Tip: I overfilled my pot and saw liquid bubbling over the top, so I just put a pizza pan under it to catch any overflow.

ETA: if it is bubbling a lot, turn it down to low.

It's an actual whole smoked turkey that we get from a turkey farm. They smoke the entire turkey. Tastes just like ham, but better for you.

I love lentils and have been wanting an easy crock pot recipe for them. I think I'll try this next weekend. I'm going to use my trusty canned chicken though. Smoked meats always upset my stomach for some odd reason. It sure sounds yummy though. Thanks for sharing!!!
