Ahhh...my crockpot is my best friend. These are some of my family's favorites.

1. In a slow cooker, combine the meat, soups, onion, Worcestershire sauce, water, bullion, salt, pepper, garlic, and red wine.
2. Cook on Low setting 5 hours. Add sauteed mushrooms about 1/2 hour before serving.
3. Stir in cream cheese and sour cream just before serving.
(Just before adding the sour cream I mix 1T corn starch with 2T cold water to give the gravy thickness)

easy chicken

put 1 frozen chicken in the crock pot sprinkle on 1 package ranch dressing mix cover and set on low all day! don't add any liquid!
when you get home remove the chicken then mix in instant rice and a can of mushrooms.

v-8 roast
1 beef or venison roast

I often add a bag of baby carrots along with the raw roast then throw in a couple of drained cans of new potatoes about 10 minutes before making the gravy!

I've posted this recipe on here before and I think others have made it. It's YUMMY!

Easy Slow Cooker French Dip

4 lb. roast
1 can beef broth (10.5 oz)
1 can condensed french onion soup (10.5 oz)
12 oz. beer
6 French rolls
2 Tablespoons butter

Trim excess fat from roast and place in slow cooker. Add broth, soup and beer. Cook on low 7 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Split rolls in half and spread with butter. Bake 10 minutes or until heated.

Slice meat and place on rolls. Serve sauce for dipping.


**MY NOTES**

I added garic powder and pepper to the meat before putting in cooker. And I have a note on the recipe that it needed salt. And I only used a 2.5 lb. roast to serve 4 people and had left overs.


ETA: I didn't use the butter on the rolls but I did toast them so they wouldn't be too soggy when they were dipped in the sauce.

Here is another one we tried tonight. Yum!

Crockpot Italian Chicken

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
1/2 stick butter
1 envelope dry italian dressing mix
10 3/4 ounces cream of chicken soup
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
egg noodles

Melt butter and pour over chicken in crock pot. Sprinkle dry dressing mix over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Blend soup and cream cheese; pour over chicken and stir to combine with butter and dressing mixture. Cook on low for 30-45 minutes. Serve over egg noodles.

How about dessert in a crock pot? This is so quick to put together,using itmes probably in your pantry,and very yummy!
