Sunday Night Football Dinner in Front of the TV meal!! (plus leftovers for the week)

Buffalo CHicken Wing Soup

he Ingredients.

--2 cups cooked and cubed chicken
--1/2 yellow onion, chopped
--3 stalks celery, chopped
--1/4 cup unsalted butter
--1/4 cup flour (I used rice flour)
--2 cups fat free milk (no higher content than 2%, or it will curdle)
--3/4 cup chicken broth
--4 oz Velveeta
--1/2 cup hot wing sauce
--1/2 tsp celery salt
--1/2 tsp garlic salt

The Directions.

A 4 to 6 quart crockpot will work well for this soup.

Make a roux with the flour and butter. I usually use the stove top, but tried the microwave yesterday---it worked great. In a bowl, melt the butter on high for 45 seconds, then whisk in the flour. Set aside.

Chop up the onion and celery, and dump it into your crockpot. Add the cooked and cubed chicken. Pour in the chicken broth and milk. Add Velveeta. Add the salt (note: this is saltier than I am used to. If you are on a lower sodium diet, omit the salt all together. The cheese and the broth are pretty salty on their own. You can always season to taste after cooking.)

Stir in the flour and butter mixture. Add hot sauce.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4. The soup is done when the celery and onion reach desired tenderness and the flavors have melded.

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

I'm loving all these recipes but why when using the crockpot does it say to brown/cook your meats before placing them into the crock pot? When I bought mine the directions said this which is why I returned it. I just felt what was the point of preparing (cooking) something first before using it in the crock pot.

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

Do you ladies prepare the ingredients in the morning or the night before? I don't know if I have any time to do this in the morning before work but would love to actually use my crock pot!

I think I'm in love with this thread!
I just made this one the other night:

Chicken and Apples

2 apples peeled, cored and sliced into rings
1 onion sliced thinly
1 lb. boneless skinless chix cutlets sliced thin
1 can chicken broth
2 cans condensed cream of celery soup
2 TBSP rosemary or thyme
salt and pepper to taste

Layer the apples, on the bottom of the crockpot, then on top of that layer the onion, then ontop of that the chicken. Mix the condensed soup with the chicken broth, pour over layered ingredients, then add the rosemary ontop. Cook 4-6 hours.
I added a little apple cider vinegar and it gave a nice little kick.

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

This is a great thread!! I have nothing to add as I haven't used my crock pot yet, but I am enjoying the reading.

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

Slow Cooker Lasagna!! SOOOOOOOOOOO YUMMMMMMMY!!!!

1-1/2 pound lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce ( I like barilla or Clasico)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (12 ounce) package lasagna noodles ( I love Barilla ridged lasagna noodles)
16 ounces Ricotta Chees ( I like Sorento)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (I like to use whole or part)

1.In a large skillet over medium heat cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until brown.

2.In a large bowl mix together the Ricotta Cheese, Oregano grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 of the cooked ground beef.

3. Mix the remaining ground beef to sauce.

4.Spoon a layer of the meat sauce mixture onto the bottom of the slow cooker. Add a double layer of the uncooked lasagna noodles. Break to fit noodles into slow cooker. Top noodles with a portion of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layering of sauce, noodles, and cheese until all the ingredients are used. May sure the very top of your last layer is a layer of mozzarella cheese.

5.Cover, and cook on LOW setting for 4 to 6 hours.

**what I included in this recipe is after layer is done around the edges pour 1 cup of water. This will help it sticking and drying out. I also had purchased extra sauce for leftovers.

This was soo good my mom was surprised it came out of a crock pot!

This is an AMAZING recipie...
Pulled Barbecue Pork Ingredients

The ingredients for this recipe are simple:
•1 pork shoulder (make sure the piece of pork will fit into your slow cooker)
•1/4 cup of water
•salt and pepper
•barbecue sauce-I LOVE SWEET BABY RAY'S!!! YUM!!
The secret ingredient: patience, as time really is the key to success for this southern delicacy!
Add the Pork to the Crockpot
First, warm your slower cooker for approximately 15 minutes before placing the piece of pork inside. Salt and pepper the meat and pour 1/4 cup of water in the slow cooker. Turn the temperature to high for one hour. After time has past, turn the heat down to low for approximately seven to nine hours.
Keep the Crockpot Covered
Throughout the cooking process, try to resist taking too many peeks under the lid of the slow cooker, unless to check the liquid level, and to add a quarter cup at a time if needed. Each glimpse allows for significant heat to escape and ultimately adds about 20 minutes to the cooking time.
Remove the Pork From the Crockpot
After a good night's sleep or a full day of work, the pork should be very tender. Using extreme caution as it is incredibly hot, remove the pork shoulder and discard the fat and juices that remain in the slow cooker.
Shred the Pork
Once the piece of meat has had a few minutes to cool, use a fork and knife to chop, or if you're not afraid to get your hands dirty, shred the pork by hand for a truly homemade look.
Continue Cooking the Pulled Pork
Once the chopping and shredding is complete, return it to the slow cooker.
Add the Barbecue Sauce to the Crockpot
Mix in your desired amount of barbecue sauce and cook on low for another hour. Remember I told you, patience really does pay.

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

Yesterday I made a variation of the salsa chicken and it was awesome. I used it to make quesadillas. Chicken nachos tonight I think. You could use it for filling for enchiladas, etc.

4 frozen chicken breasts
one large can of black beans
one small can green chilis
2 cans diced tomatoes
one packet taco seasoning (I actually used chili seasoning b/c that's all I had)
one bag of frozen corn
I added some garlic power, cumin and paprika

Lay the chicken on top of the veggies, cook on low for 7 hours. At 7 hours I shredded the chicken and put it back in the crock pot for another hour. WOW.

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

My first crock pot recipe was a total BUST!!!!! I don't know what I did wrong but it had such a weird taste... DH and I couldn't eat it! I made chicken nuggets for us for dinner last night so we could eat something quick, we were starving! WTH did I do wrong??? I used regular potatoes instead of red and I didn't use the celery seed since I didn't have that, but could that have made it taste so horrible?! This is what I made...

Crock Pot “Kitchen Sink” Chicken Stew

2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, washed, patted dry, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 onion, diced
3 large carrots, peeled, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
4-5 redskin potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cans (14 oz. each) chicken broth
1 tsp. celery seed
1 tsp dry thyme leaves or Mrs. Dash all purpose seasoning
1/2 tsp black pepper
8 oz. mushrooms, cleaned, halved
1 C. frozen corn or 1 can corn, drained
1 C. frozen peas
If you like a tomato based stew, add drained diced tomatoes also.


Place all ingredients, except peas, in crockpot and stir. Cook on LOW 7-9 hours or HIGH 4-6 hours. Add peas about 20 minutes before serving.
