Ack! I didn't even see your recipe Texannie! That looks yummy too! I may have to try that one! So, when you pour the broth over the stuff, do you have to make sure it covers the chicken? Doens't seem like a half cup of broth would cover it all. And I assume you peel the potatoes? How many potatoes...or how many layers? Or does it matter? I ask a lot of questions, don't I?

Doesn't matter. I sometimes peel the potatoes if the peels don't look all that great. I use either red or yukon and sort of just slice them into equal sizes..either sliced or diced. It's not a soup, so the broth doesn't need to cover it all, just a little for moisture. Depending on how big your crockpot is, you might need a little more. I have it ususally just to the top of the potatoes.

Texannie, I am going to try your recipe tomorrow. How thin should the potatoes be? Should I slice them in the cuisinart?

they don't have to be thin at all, in fact better to be on the thick side.

I have a question. I have a slab of Brisket, potatoes, bella mushrooms, carrots...what can i do with them in the crock pot, what kind of seasonings to use. Oh, and Texannie, i took your advice and went out and bought a rival crockpot that is not digital..looks kind of old fashioned with a dial on it..LOL

I would slice the potatoes and put them on the bottom, then the carrots, mushrooms. I would season the veggies with some brisket rub or grill seasonings. Then put the brisket on top, fat side down and season the meat with whatever seasoning you used on the veggies. Cook on low all day. Old fashioned is good too! LOL

Just providing more feedback on the chicken, potatoes and dry ranch dressing recipe...made it the day before yesterday, had it for supper that night, and for lunch and supper yesterday finally polishing it off. Both my sis and I enjoyed it immensely. So, Annie, I'll be all ears whenever I see you post a crock-pot recipe.

All this crock pot talk made me pull mine out over the weekend. I cooked up a roast with potatos, carrots, celery,and onions. Made a boulion liquid to pour over it. Cooked it on high for 5 hours, the veggies were cooked but the roast was pretty tough. I ended up turning it on low and cooking for another 3 hours, at that time the roast was really moist and tasted great.

Oh Tex, do I need to put some liquid or can I just cook it dry like you posted above?

The brisket? nope you don't need any liquid, the brisket has enough fat.

Texannie ... I want to make vegetable soup in my crock pot this weekend. But I've been told that small carrots, mushrooms, beans, zucchini etc won't hold up to long cooking and will turn to mush. Do you have any suggestions?? Thank you!

I am mostly a lurker here but feel a need to add today. I'm a long time veggie and not a big fan of tofu but my doc has been pushing me to use it more. Yesterday I substituted slices of tofu for the chicken in the potato, ranch recipe and after work yesterday I had a tofu feast. And delicious leftovers to take for lunch today. Will definitely be making that again!

Vacanick, I put mushrooms, carrots, zuchnini in my crockpot veggie soup all the time. I have put rinsed canned beans in too. Dried beans can pose a problem, not because they turn into mush, but because lots of them don't cook well in crockpots.
