Chili - Crock Pot

1 lb ground beef or pork
1 onion chopped
1 tsp salt
2 (15.5 oz) cans of kidney beans, drained
1 bay leaf
1 tsp Worcestershire saurce
2 (8 oz) cans of tomato sauce

Brown beef and drain, combine meat with all ingredients in crock pot. Cover and cook for 2-3 hours. Removed the bay leaf. Serves 6-7 top with cheese if want.

*NOTES* I used 1lb can of pork which I get from a food bank. This is great lunch or dinner on a cold day. Here in Florida it is cold day and this taste good and warm me up.

Creamy Sloppy Joes

1 lb ground beef, browned and drain

10 3/4 oz can of cream of mushroom soup

1/4 cup ketchup

1 onion diced

1)Combine all ingredients in slow cooker (crock pot)

2)Cover and cook for 1-2 hours

3)Serve on bread, rolls or bake potatoes

*Notes* not the best I ever had but was good and made 6 sloppy joes on white bread which I had.

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.
