OOps, looked it up....for that chicken cordon bleu recipe, mix in 1/2 cup chicken broth with the stuffing as well! YUMMY!
one stuffing ive made quite a bit lately, is apple-cinnamon with a touch of brown sugar,,whether you are stuffing a chicken, pork chop/roast it is delicious! ( take a base of bread crumbs, add chopped up apples pieces,,and add cinnamon spice,,,and then some brown sugar!!)
these sound GROSS, but seriously, they are really good.....
3 lbs small meatballs (fresh, but browned or frozen precooked ones)
16 oz can sauerkraut
16 oz can jellied cranberry sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
8 oz (1/2 jar) spaghetti sauce
Mix all but meatballs in bowl. Add meatballs to crockpot, pour mixture over. Low 3-4 hours. My family LOVED these.
I have done meatballs as an appetizer or snack food for parties. They have always been a hit. I buy the prepackaged, precooked, frozen meatballs. I open the bag and place the entire contents in the crock pot. I then pour a bottle of Barbecue Sauce over them. I let it cook for several hours (at least 4-5), and stir once shortly before serving. Place a small container of toothpicks nearby, and you don't really even need plates! This has been very popular at Super Bowl parties and similar events.
I've also done hot (or sweet) wings this way. Take a bag of frozen wings (about 3 pounds), and pour your favorite wing sauce over them and cook for five or six hours. Serve with Blue Cheese or Ranch dip. They are another crowd favorite.

BBQ ribs in slow cooker. Yes, they're really good!
This is the recipe I use to make BBQ baby back ribs in my crockpot. It sounds bizarre, and the first time I read it I couldn't believe that you don't add liquid to this recipe at all. But I made it and the meat just fell off the bone and had wonderful flavor. I make this at least once a month and all my relatives love the recipe when I make it too!
Note: after I remove ribs from crockpot, I put them on a foil lined baking sheet, cover then with BBQ sauce and then pop them in the oven for a bit to just warm the sauce onto the ribs.
Try them, they are a great, easy meal!
I will post a few other of my favorite crockpot recipes. I use tons of them!
I do something similar to this. Get a boneless Boston Butt (I use Tyson, less fat), pour a full jar of your favorite BBQ Sauce on it and cook on High for 8 hours. The meat just falls apart and its great on Hamb. Buns.
I do that too! It's delicious! Like shredded BBQ beef when done. Yum.
I'm either too impatient or too much of a control freak to use my crockpot often.
I once did an experiment and tried cooking some sort of stew for about a week, eating some and adding some as I went along. Eventually all of the taste cooked out and I was left with inedible mush.
Ellie, try putting all the ingredients into the crockpot the night before, just before you go to bed. Then, when you wake up, turn it on low. When you get home from work, it'll be done!
One thing. I wrote about a soup I made with all that good stuff in it...but I made the mistake of adding rice from the beginning. It was ok while hot the first part, but it became a glutinous mass and not very good.
I've purchased frozen crockpot bags of ingredients at the store and tried them and they always say add the rice one half hour before you serve.
MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!
Yeah, that sounds good, but with the exception of beans perhaps, it wouldn't be much help. I go through phases of using things like crockpots, but I always go back to just using a pot on the stove. Old habits die hard.
I made these at my last house party and they disappeared. Incidentally, I didn't have any onions so I substituted with some jarred caremelized onions I had in the fridge (from Trader Joes) made them taste even better!
A crockpot Swedish meat ball recipe with ground beef and seasonings:
INGREDIENTS:
2 lb. ground beef
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
2 Tbsp parsley
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 onion, chopped small
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup beef broth (can be made from bouillon cube)
PREPARATION:
Mix together the beef, eggs, milk, parsley, oatmeal, onion, salt pepper, and nutmeg. Shape into small meatballs. Brown the meatballs in several batches in a frying pan with scant oil and transfer to crock. Pour beef broth over top.
Cover and cook on low for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If you want them saucier, add more beef broth and sprinkle on some Wondra flour before turning on the crock pot.
I have more recipes for the crock and will post them later.
I had excellent soup at my neighbor's house on Saturday when it was snowing like crazy and 22F while we were clearing out storm debris. It got me thinking about doing my own....
So today I bought canned whole corn, two cans of green beans, two red onions, one clove of fresh garlic, a bag of bowtie pasta and then I emptied a can of hearty vegetable soup into the slowcooker first, threw in the cut up onions and garlic, threw in a gob of black pepper, the bowtie pasta, a whole pile of cut mushrooms, some sea salt, two cans of chicken breast pieces in water, wild white rice, filled it to near the top with fresh well water, and a dose of garlic pepper. I have it on "low" and can already smell it...I'm getting hungry
I've used dessert recipes I've gotten here. Any good soup recipes too? OH, and my chicken fried steaks came out awesome with the advice I got! That preseasoned flour is the bomb!
Sounds YUMMY! I'll have to try this! The thing about crock-pot meals.....I get to tell my family I SLAVED ALL DAY!!!! (but they don't need to know the truth!!)
