Crock Pot Pizza (1 of many from cooks.com)

2 cups of macaroni
1lb hamburger
1 jar of pizza sauce
1 can tomato sauce
package of peperoni slices
1 cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
Parmesan cheese

First cook the macaroni and hamburger then put every thing in your slow cooker in ordered listed. Place cheese on top. Cook for 1 and a half hours on high.

*NOTES* I added some onions and mushrooms to the pot as well. I can't seems to cook hamburger without onions. It seems naked if I do. Also when cooking hamburger add any spices you may want I like to use Emeril's Original Essence along with some garlic etc.

After all it is pizza you could add peppers etc as well. Cooks.com has two pages of crock pot pizza recipes so have fun. You can also use any noodles you want. It came out good.

Spicy Cajun Buffalo Wings (CD Kitchen)

3lbs chicken wings
1 bottle barbecue sauce (whatever you like)
2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp mince onion flakes
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp Jalapeno sauce
1 tbsp Tabasco sauce
1 tbsp Cajun spice

Cut wings in half (cut tip off if want) and put in slow cooker, add barbecue sauce and all the other spices then mix it all together. Cook on low for 4 hours.

*NOTES* I have a Santoku knife I brought to cut up vegetables and it had trouble cutting up the wings. I had 14 wings when cut it was 28 pieces which pretty much filled my slow cooker. I could have added more. I also used a crock liner for easy cleanup. You can also spray your crock with Pam or rub it down with cooking oil.

I had everything but for the Jalapeno sauce and I don't think I missed anything. It was pretty spicy. When adding everything I was getting scare thinking damn it will kill me.

I topped it off with some mash potatoes and green beans as side dishes

Repeat for 2nd layer
Cover and cook on low 5 hours.

*NOTE*: I omitted the ricotta cheese also do not layer the top when done with noodles they will not cook. Just stick with 1 layer then 2nd layer so it cooks. This was my first time making lasagna and I was worried about the noodles not cooking but it turn out awesome.

I had to threw away the noodles on top cause didn't cook so that how I know LOL. if I had cover then with sauce they would have cook but first time have to learn.

Creamy Mac & Cheese (Paula Deen)

2 cups elbow macaroni
1/2 sick of butter ( County Crock stick)
2 - 1/2 cups of sharp Cheddar shredded cheese
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. dry mustard

Stir well together then add cooked macaroni and stir again until everything is mixed together.
Set your crock pot on low for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

*NOTE* I actually mix butter, cheese and milk on the stove. I also omitted the eggs forget to buy. This turn out really good no more box mac & cheese. I use parmalat milk in a box because I get it for free at the food banks and they last for 6 months on the shelf. Once open put in the refrigerator. It is good for cooking.

*UPDATE* I cooked it again with the eggs and even through it was good it had bits of cooked egg in it.

*NOTES* I was scare about the aluminum foil but it was fine. I didn't have seasoning salt but I used Emeril's Essence. This is really good it's not totally like a store brought Rotisserie chicken but close enough.

Stuff Cabbage

1-2 lbs. ground beef (amount depends on size of crock pot)
2-3 slices potatoes
4 sliced carrots
3 stems cut-up broccoli
1 cut-up cauliflower
4 oz. fresh sliced mushrooms
1 bag frozen corn (can also be fresh or canned)
1/2 onion, sliced
Shredded cabbage to cover top of casserole
1-2 cans cream of mushroom soup
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese

Layer ingredients in crock in order listed. Spoon soup on top of casserole. Cover soup with cheese. Bake on low all day. Serve with French bread. This dish can be made with any of your favorite vegetables.

When you layer the casserole, put the ingredients on the bottom that take longer to cook. Ingredients that do not take long should go on the upper layers.

*NOTES* You will want to cook the ground beef on the stove 1-2lbs depending on sizes of your pot. I cooked the beef with the onions and season them then threw it in my pot. I then put the rest in then put the cabbage on top. I then pour 2 cans of soup over top after I mix it with water. then I put cheese on top. I cooked on high for 6 hours.

I use half a cabbage I couldn't get the whole thing in my pot this is why.

It filled my pot and taste good.

Chicken in a Pot

2 carrots, sliced
2 onions, sliced
3 celery rib. cut in 1-inch pieces
3 lb chicken, whole or cutup (cook to 180F)
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup water,chicken broth or white cooking wine

1)Place vegetables on the bottom of the slow cooker. Place chicken ontop and add seasons and water/broth

2)Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 3.5-5 hours. (use 1 cup liquid if cooking on high)

3)Option- If your slow cooker has a probe setting check manual for temp and time to cook. My setting is for 180f . I just stick probe in thigh of bird and plug it in to the cooker and set for 180 and when it gets to 180 it will beep to let me know it is done then switch to warm mode.

*NOTE* Chicken will not brown in slow cooker. I used a can of chicken broth then I saved it after and froze it for reuse.

You can also add potatoes to the pot to make a full meal. I am still learning the art of cutting them small enough to finish cooking with the rest of the meal. Too big of a cut takes longer.
