Crock pot recipes

[Randi]

Moesha, that is sweet of you, but I'll try to find some here. It would cost a fortune to send heavy things like that. I'm hoping to travel myself and I usually get some when I do. Imagine the customs opening my suitcase, finding 3-4 packets of cereal! They'll have a good laugh!

The cereal I love is called Kelloggs “Raisin Wheats”, in England. In Spain they’re called “Splitz”, in Luxembourg they’re called “Toppas”. They also come as frosted and plain. They’re all good. You should try them!

My absolute favourite is Jordan’s Country Crisp Four-Nut - they are wheat clusters with 4 kinds of chunky nuts in. Yummy!

I find most cereals too sweet.

Sorry pomtzu, we got side tracked here - won't happen again.

Sounds like Raisin Bran!

Lots of good recipes here!
I too have discovered the crock pot only a year ago.
So far I've made a plain roast with veggie and potatoes and a killer pork BBQ.
It's so easy. I always thought crockpots were only used to keep stuff warm at parties and such!
I may just have to make one of those chicken recipes listed.
Even if it's still really hot here in FL. to make a stew, I feel like one.

Definitely get the crock pot out of storage. I cooked a whole batch of chops with mushroom sauce ,threw in the potatoes and veggies, lots of onions and garlic (I'm still a beleiver that garlic will cure anything) . But I put it all in a huge casserole and shoved it in the oven, the house got so hot I had to turn the furnace off and turn the a/c back on.
Might be a good day for that today. It was -3 when I got up. Fall is here to stay.

I don't own a crock pot; I've decided to wait and see if I get one as a Christmas gift. I do have plenty of good recipes at the ready, though, and here's one I want to try first:

Sausage and Potatoes

1 1/2 lbs. Polish sausage links, sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 lbs. frozen hash brown potatoes
1 can Cheddar cheese soup
1 can milk
1 bunch green onions, sliced
pepper, to taste
garlic, to taste

Combine sausage, potatoes, onions, and seasonings in a well-buttered crock pot. Stir to mix. Whisk together soup and milk. Pour over ingredients in Crockery Pot. Cook on low for about 6 hours.

I'm not sure why it has to cook so long, though. Sausage doesn't take long and the potatoes are frozen but already cooked. Anyhow, I thought that it sounded yummy, rather like a soup.

Mary - that sausage and potatoes recipe sounds good - I have to try that one. I imagine it thickens and isn't soupy.

That would be good for breakfast - like for Christmas morning when you don't have the time to cook. Put it on to cook before you go to bed and it's done when you get up. Nice if you have kids or a houseful of company.

I am so slow - just got my first crock pot last week.

Me too! I got it on reward points from the credit union that I bank with, believe it or not. I haven't even opened the box yet, but now, with this thread and my mouth watering about those BISCUITS ON TOP (oh my!) I'm gonna have to try it reeeeeeaaaal soon!

The best recipes are the ones that you 'wing'.


Pork in the CP is the absolute bestest!

I love sausages so I'm trying out Medussa's recipe sometime next week, I need all the variety I can get and this sounds easy and delicious.

Just don't do it while you're sleepwalking!

1 can milk

How much is one can? Up here milk comes in cartons and jugs - equivalent to a quart or gallon.

You have to go to the farmer that has special steel cows. They give milk in cans.

You fill the empty can of soup w/milk. And the green onions are sliced, not diced!!

I make a variation of your roast recipe with the onion soup mix, only I use a cup or so of leftover coffee or Coke as the liquid. Veggies can be whatever you have but usually include potatoes, parsnips, carrots and onions. A shake of tapioca or a bit of cornstarch at the last if it needs to be thickened. Fabulous!

Pomtzu- love your sense of humour....

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

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