Quick Crock Pot Roasted Chicken

QuiltersRecipes — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 00:40:00 GMT

Submitted by Anita Gerdes

The easiest & tastiest way to prepare chicken I just recently found: put 3-6 boneless chicken breasts into the crock pot, after spraying the inside of the pot with cooking spray. Season lightly w/season salt. Cook on High for 5-6 hours. It will be so soft and flaky, and tasty, you will hardly believe it! Use it in any dish that calls for chicken…serve with salad, with macaroni and cheese, with mashed potatoes or add Barbeque sauce on a bun….it really tastes wonderful and couldn’t be easier! I even freeze the broth that cooks out of the chicken, for future dishes.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Submitted by Nancy Owens

All you have to do is think about the crockpot in the morning and you will have a great dinner!

1/2 pkg. frozen meatballs (I usually do a 1/2 bag for home & a full bag for potlucks)
1 small bottle ketchup
1 20 oz bottle 7-Up (or any lemon-lime soda)

Pour meatballs in crock-pot, add ketchup (yes entire bottle) and 7-Up. Turn on low and forget it. At dinner time, cook a pot of rice, and serve meatballs over! I know this sounds crazy, but try it once. I have never had anyone not like it!

Crock Pot Stroganoff

QuiltersRecipes — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 00:25:00 GMT

Jo Christoffel
2 lbs. uncooked stew meat
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 can mushrooms with liquid- optional, small or large depending on your family’s preference
1 lg. can cream of mushroom soup
1 sm. can cream of celery soup
1/2 c. red wine
4 oz. sour cream ADD JUST BEFORE SERVING
Rice or egg noodles
Parsely garnish

Sometime before lunchtime, layer the celery soup, meat, dry onion soup mix, wine, mushrooms, and mushroom soup into a large crock pot on high heat setting. When you come back to the kitchen about an hour or so later for fresh coffee, stir the contents and turn the heat down to medium for the rest of the afternoon.

Half an hour before serving, fix enough wide egg noodles or rice for your family. While that cooks, turn the pot off, add the sour cream and stir well, and leave the lid off the crock pot to cool and thicken the sauce slightly. Spoon the meat & gravy over the noodles/rice and enjoy the fabulous rich flavor. This can easily be done early in the morning before leaving the house, but don’t forget to turn the heat down as you walk out the door! Mid-day stirring is not absolutely required.
