Crock Pot Sweet Potatoes With Apricot Pie Filling

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 23:25:09 -0500

My mother thinks this sounds like the recipe she used at Thanksgiving that I have been bugging her for. She can't find her book and she found this at About.com. I tried it today to take to a friend's Ayyam-i-Ha party, as he was making turkey. It was really good and got many compliments. I have to admit that during its day of cooking it reeked of garlic and I was a little worried about it. But when it was all done, it smelled good and tasted wonderful. -- posted by mliss29

Crock Pot Potluck Pierogies With Sauteed Onions and Butter

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 02:23:31 -0400

Great idea for a football party, graduation party, any potluck get-together. I was assigned a hot side dish for a potluck work luncheon, served aside of hot dogs and other party appy's, and decided to try this out in the crockpot and it worked. It went over well; many people went back for seconds and came looking for the leftovers the next day.....it was the only dish that was gone! Very simple indeed, but it's one of those dishes that you hardly lift a finger yet it goes a long way. Would go great aside of hamburger BBQ, sausage sandwiches, bratwurst, hamburgers, etc or make as a main dish. Perfect if you don't have an oven or have limited oven space for your party cooking. I have figured on 16 servings/3 pierogies per person and prep time includes sautee of onion and butter. -- posted by TheDancingCook

This is an amazing stuffing that I make for every family gathering. We had it for New Year's Day dinner with roast pork and of course with turkey for Christmas! If you like stuffing, you can make this any time and your guests will be very surprised that it wasn't stuffed in a bird in the oven! Feel free to use different breads (whole grain adds a great texture even if you don't typically like whole grain bread) and/or play with the seasonings. You don't have to use the full amount of butter but it does add a lot of flavour. Make it your own and enjoy! -- posted by Nif

Simply the Best Green Beans

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 03:02:33 -0500

We eat these green beans at least once a week and I haven't found anything to top them. The secret ingredient is the spice blend. I originally found this blend at Gordon Food Services in Michigan. (I have to have my mom ship it to me once a year; the 26 oz container of the spice lasts me about that long). I recently tripled the recipe and took them to work for a lunch for 20 people. Personally, I still like them better from the stove top but I would take them again in a crock pot knowing that I need to stir often so the beans on the outer edge do not get over done. (People did actually go back for seconds) -- posted by Foodie Friend

Easy Slow Cooker Applesauce

Sat, 18 Jul 2009 14:15:19 -0400

I came up with this recipe after I had bought too many apples for me to eat before they started getting soft. I didnt want to waste them or my money so I used what I had in my house for spices and poof! Out came this recipe. You can really use any kind of apple you want, Macs are usually less expensive than most other kinds of apples. The coriander and lemon juice add great brightness to the apples. I like to eat it plain, but its great stirred into hot cereal, or on top of your favorite vanilla ice cream with a little caramel sauce on the side, it tastes like an apple turnover! I know that the spices seem minimal, but they add such a great flavor thats not overpowering. -- posted by nicolygoay41

Guinness and Jameson Baked Beans

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:30:08 -0400

I like using Guinness in savory dishes, particularly those that are slow-cooked. This summer, I came up with this recipe for baked beans and they were a big hit. Given that this year is the 250th anniversary of Guinness, I thought I'd share and make it slightly more Irish, if not in tradition (these are much sweeter than Irish/British beans), then in ingredients, by making the whiskey Jameson. Feel free to use any whiskey you like (same with the beer actually) and they're still great. For those looking for a non-alcoholic beer substitution, try O'Doul's Amber, which is a really useful cooking beer that happens to be non-alcoholic. I buy my onions pre-diced and frozen and my garlic pre-diced in a jar. Note that this recipe is made to fill my large oval crock pot and will NOT fit in the standard round ones. Split in half for that. -- posted by JWynia

Chuck's Daddy-O Beans

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:02:14 -0500

In 1990, I was fortunate to get involved with a great family who gave me a home and a place to feel safe (thanks, George) and pretty quickly, I came to think of Chuck as "dad". I don't know where he got this recipe or how much trial-and-error was involved, but whenever the family gets together...these are always at the top of the request list. I recently got it from him as part of an online recipe exchange. The secret is the flavor of the teriyaki sauce cooking down and bringing the whole thing together; he prefers the brand sold at Costco but use the one you like the best. I also think the green chiles are just as essential to the finished dish as well. Add more or less of any of the ingredients to suit your taste and whatever brands you prefer--that is the beauty of this recipe. For extra pizzazz...throw in a pound or so of ground meat...pre-cooked or just broken up. -- posted by Hungry Hogareno

Maple-Glazed Baked Beans in the Crock Pot

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:03:08 -0500

This recipe is based on one in The Joy of Cooking, I adapted it for the crock pot and made a couple of other changes. As written here, it's pretty low in fat, but you can use bacon instead of the ham if you want something a little more indulgent. (Prep time does not include soaking time.) -- posted by mayness

Butternut Squash and Potatoes With Rosemary

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:15:17 -0500

From the Italian Slow Cooker by Michele Scicolone. It's wonderful to be able to use the slow cooker to make side dishes, especially on those occasions when the oven is engaged by the main event. You cannot go wrong with butternut squash, potatoes and rosemary. While this appears in an Italian cookbook, the ingreidets are very familiar to North Americans, as well. -- posted by duonyte

Very creamy, full of flavor, and perfect for a slow cooker recipe!! This recipe has been made for 30-40 people for company potluck events and is a hit every time. Very cheesy and even has a little bit of bacon in it. -- posted by Angela Butler

Creamy Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese

Yummy!! Free up your oven and cook this classic dish in your crock pot! I made this is my taller older, 4 qt. crock pot rather than my new larger oval shaped one that tends to run hot. This could also be baked in the oven if necessary. -- posted by KPD

Dijon Dressed Slow Cooked Veggies

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 11:01:13 -0500

There is really nothing to this recipe, and yet, it was amazing! It can be found here: http://lobsterandfishsticks.com/ It would be an awesome side dish for some grilled chicken or fish, or just all piled up for a meatless meal.You can change up the veggies, depending on your preferences and what you have on hand, too. -- posted by ChefMamaBlogger

Cheesy, Creamy, Crock Pot Corn

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 09:21:07 -0500

Don't be too quick to turn this recipe down! It's very good and the corn flavor just explodes in your mouth! You would never guess that this recipe is mainly cheese and corn. Make it in the crock pot. Adjust the amount of cream cheese if you like. Depending on how thin you like your sauce, you may or may not want to add the half and half. Cook time is approximate. -- posted by KGCOOK
