For those of you who are gearing up for at least one full day of marathon shopping, you’ll be wanting a recipe for something that’s ready when everyone gets home. Instead of picking up pizza on the way past the pizza place, how about a few minutes of your time either the night before or in the morning before you leave the house. I’ve found a couple of crockpot/slow cooker recipes I think you will like and hope you’ll try at least one. Happy shopping and I hope you find what you’re looking for!
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1 1/4 cups water
5 1/2 pounds pot roast
Directions: In a slow cooker, mix cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix and water. Place pot roast in slow cooker and coat with soup mixture. Cook on High setting for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low setting for 8 to 9 hours.
Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 onion, finely diced
2 (10 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces
Directions: Place the chicken, butter, soup, and onion in a slow cooker, and fill with enough water to cover. Cover, and cook for 5 to 6 hours on High. About 30 minutes before serving, place the torn biscuit dough in the slow cooker. Cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center.
Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
1 pound cubed beef stew meat
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed golden mushroom soup
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup water
4 ounces cream cheese
Directions: In a slow cooker, combine the meat, soup, onion, Worcestershire sauce and water.
Cook on Low setting for 5 hours. Stir in cream cheese just before serving. Serve over hot noodles or rice.
