Crock Pot Recipes...

Party Taco Meat
4 lbs hamburger meat
2 packages taco seasoning
1 can rotel
2 ¼ cups water
Brown hamburger meat. Drain meat in a colander rinsing with hot water. Put meat back in pan and add other ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer awhile.
You may put in a crock pot on low for several hours and serve out of the crock pot!


Crock Pot Beef Tips and Noodles

1 1/2 lbs. lean beef tips
2 cans cream of celery soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 onion, diced ( I use the frozen, already diced onion--about 1/2 the bag)
1 tsp. Paula Dean's House Seasoning (recipe to follow)
1 one pound pkg. wide egg noodles, drained and kept warm

In a 5 quart crock pot, combine beef, soups, onion, and seasoning. Cook on low setting for 8 hours, or until beef is tender. Serve over egg noodles.

House Seasoning: 1 cup salt, 1/4 cup black pepper, 1/4 cup garlic powder. Mix together, and store in an airtight container. (I don't make this seasoning. I just add a little of all three ingredients.)

Creamy Crock Pot Chicken
Chicken breasts (4-6)
1 cup white wine
8 oz. cream cheese
1 packet onion soup mix
1 can cream of mushroom soup

Place chicken in bottom of crock pot. In the microwave, warm up cream cheese and soup. Mix well and add all other ingredients. Blend well and pour over the chicken. Cook on low 4-6 hours and serve over rice or noodles.
Note: you can also substitute a packet of dry italian dressing mix (zesty) instead of onion soup, but I have not tried it that way yet.

Chicken & Dumplings

Ingredients

4 chicken breast halves

2 tablespoons butter

2 cans cream of chicken soup

1 onion finley diced (I used a lot less than a whole onion)

1 pkg (10 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces

chicken broth

Directions

1. place the chicken, butter, soup and onion in slow cooker and fill with enough chicken broth to cover.

2. cover and cook for 5 to 6 hours on high.  About 30 min before serving, place the torn biscuit dough in the slow cooker.  Cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center. (it took about 1 hr for me, but that is why the dumplings absorbed all the broth, but the dumplings weren't done in 30 min, so i think next time I will use more broth, but cook dumplings 1 hour)
