Crock Pot Recipe for Tex-Mex Beef

2011-09-16T20:37:00.001-05:00

Last night I was thinking about what I wanted to make in my crock pot, for dinner tonight. So found this recipe for Tex-Mex Beef Wraps. Well, of course the ingredients sounded just right, so what did I do???? Turned it into the best beef enchiladas!!! I wanted it to be pretty much plain-jane, but next time will add more ingredients to it, to possibly make it even better. The reason, I didn't add

Cream of Pumpkin Soup

2011-09-14T20:29:00.002-05:00

Ok, so I had some pumpkin thawing out and some cream I wanted to use up, so what better than pumpkin soup. I put the pumpkin in the crock and started heating it up. In about an hour, I mashed the pumpkin with a potato masher then added some red bell pepper, (about 1/4 of one, sliced), 1/2 onion, and diced 2 apples. Let that cook for another hour.

I bought a 2.5 package of chicken tenders. I put 1/2 of the bag in the crock pot and just boiled them with carrots, celery and onion. Then for the first dinner, I had chicken, scalloped potatoes, carrots and a small salad. I just wanted plain chicken, tonight. But you can fried them or spice them up however you want. The next day, I received the 5.5 quart crock pot in the mail, which I won! So

Potato Casserole - Crock Style

2011-09-03T16:27:00.002-05:00

Hoping to make more recipes using the crock-pot or slow cooker, depending on how you personally call it. I think it takes me more time to find the right recipe than it does to get ingredients together. Today, I decided to make a potato recipe. I had most ingredients but needed to buy the squash and cheese. I know, I couldn't believe I was out of cheese! It gave me a chance to go and look at the
