Crock pot recipes

You could try the roast or chicken that I put in post #1. No tomatoes there........

That is my plan.

Medusa - it is an 8.5 qt (who does he think we are cooking for and WHERE do we store it...) slow cooker. It appears to have three or four speeds.

Wow, that's huge! But that's a man for ya. I just don't know how crock pot recipes translate to slow cookers. Guess there's only one way to find out, eh?

I've thought of complaining but then I might have to do the grocery shopping. Life is full of trade offs!

I'll let you know how it turns out....

This thread has been such fun - thank you for starting it Pomtzu! The chicken, potato and mushroom soup is in the crockpot right now and I am waiting for that wonderful smell to fill the house!
Next up I want to try the swedish meatball and noodles that Grace posted - another one for you to try Sara! No tomatoes!
Back when I first got married in 1974, crockpots seemed to be THE THING and I had forgotten how easy they are to use. I now have two of them - one smallish one that probably is for dips and such but it is just right for the two of us.

Keep the ideas coming friends

Yikes!!! - 8.5 qt????? Did hubby figure on feeding the whole neighborhood?
I have a 5 qt which is plenty big enough to make a meal for 4 - 6. It's a good 15 or 20 years old, and I think that was the biggest they made way back then, but it's still as good as new. I'd like to find an excuse to buy one of the new oval shaped ones since they're great for whole chickens and rolled roasts.
