Crock Pot Barbecue Chicken

This is such a fast dish to make.  Just combine the sauce, put it on the chicken inside the crock pot, and walk away.  I think that's what makes any type of crock pot dish so convenient.  The simplicity of it.  I like to have this meal with corn on the cob and mashed potatoes.  It's so yummy.  For some reason the bbq sauce didn't turn out quite like it normally does (I'm blaming running out of ketchup and having to mix two different brands).  It still tasted great, but didn't look quite up to what it normally does.  If you feel it'll have too much sugar and be too sweet, just put in less sugar and add a little at a time until it tastes the way you like it =). I like my barbecue sweet.

Crock Pot Chicken And Broccoli

This crock pot was super easy to make, and the flavors were spot on.  Although it looks a lot like a soup, I served it over a baked potato.  It would also go great over rice.

Crock Pot Chicken Chili

It's been a few months since I'd made this dish, so it was a welcome change to our nightly dinner.  Quick and easy, everyone loves a crock pot.  And the chicken is so tender and delicious.

Olive Garden Potato Soup

Imagine, if you will, it's Fall, and your family is having a pot luck, where everyone is to bring a dish.  Now, picture finding a soup loaded with sausage, potatoes, and bacon on the buffet table.  That is where I found this dish almost two years ago and after getting a copy of the recipe from my sister-in-law I've never looked back.  It's so yummy, and is guaranteed to warm you up on a cool day.  Plus, you can make it either as a crock pot, (just cook the sausage before adding it to the pot), or as an on the stove top dish.  I'll give you the big buffet pleaser recipe first, then the crock pot recipe.  Unless you have a ginormous mammoth sized crock pot (which I don't), you'll want to use smaller quantities.

Don't let this image fool you! This soup is to die for!

Crock Pot Corn and Potato Soup

I had a really great day today at the Amish School Auction here in Oklahoma.  They hold it once a year and it has a little of everything.  Arts and crafts booths, nick knacks, & this and that.  You park in this huge field and spend your time walking and talking, looking around.  The Amish serve a pancake breakfast in the early A.M. and it's really good.  There's a livestock auction, and everything else you can think of auction later in the A.M., as well as an area where a lot of quilts are displayed.  But my favorite thing they have is the pies.  Oh me oh my, the pies.  Since it's only once a year, we usually get 4 pies and freeze them to bring out a little as we go.  They have so many different kinds.  We got apricot, pecan, pineapple coconut, and cherry.  And they never disappoint!  Now that I got pie out of my system, I'd like to introduce you to todays dinner.  Crock Pot Corn and Potato soup.  This soup is dreamy.  I've been making it since Spring and it is so comforting and the calorie count isn't bad at all.  And because it's a crock pot recipe, its fast and easy.

Crock Pot Salsa Chicken

I love this dish! Just put the ingredients in the pot, crank it to low or high (your preference) and depending on which setting you'll have a perfect chicken salsa crock pot dinner waiting for you when you get home/time for dinner.  The flavors of this dish are pretty versatile.  I've added fresh corn from the garden/canned corn/canned mexicorn/black beans/green chilies, and the list goes on.  My favorite way to make it, is what I'm sharing with you today.

Crock Pot Ground Turkey Soup

I had a really nice visit from an Uncle I hadn't seen in about 5 years today.  It was so nice catching up with him I completely let the time go.  My original plan was to take a picture of the crock pot before I got it going, and then after it was ready to eat.  By the time I realized I had never taken a picture of the 'ready to eat' photo, we were washing up dinner dishes and there was so little of the soup left, it was hardly photo worthy.  But, the 'pre' photo should give you an idea of what it'll look like when it's ready to eat.
For this recipe, we use either rabbit or turkey.  My Dad makes a really good Italian rabbit sausage, and I use it whenever we come across a dish that looks like it'll benefit from a little more zing.  However; this dish is really good with regular turkey as well =)  

Crock Pot Stuffed Bell Peppers

This is one of my families favorite recipes.  It's super easy.  What I do is prepare the peppers in advance and freeze them in the portions we'll be using.  Then, it's just a matter of letting them thaw a bit while I prepare the meat.  Crockpot dishes are real time savers!
