Roxip Member 01-29-2004 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 - 9:35 am        By the way, the sweet potatoes done in the crockpot are even better than the regular baked potatoes. Brenda1966 Member 07-02-2002 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 - 9:57 am        It never occured to me to put a potato in foil and bake it in the crock pot. I'd be afraid the house would burn down! It's just two of us, so I buy those sweet potatoes that are shrink wrapped and are for the microwave. We can easily split one. I hate, hate, hate cooking, but I need to try the crock pot again now that DD is older. We are just both such picky eaters. Roxip Member 01-29-2004 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 - 11:08 am        It made me nervous too the first time but they turned out really well. I love sweet potatoes so I'm happy to have found this solution. Roxip Member 01-29-2004 Monday, April 09, 2012 - 12:50 pm        Crockpot Meatloaf Ingredients • 2 to 2 1/2 lbs. ground chuck • 1 can tomato soup, divided • 1 egg, slightly beaten • 1 C. crushed Ritz crackers • 2 Tbs. honey • 1 Tbs. plus 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce, divided • 2 Tbs. dried minced onions • 1/2 tsp. salt • 1/4 tsp. pepper • 1/2 C. water • 2 tsp. prepared mustard • 2 Tbs. brown sugar Directions Combine ground chuck with half of the tomato soup, egg, crackers, honey, 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce, onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into a ball. Place a crinkled length of aluminum foil in the crockpot so the ends extend an inch or so out of the pot. Place the meatloaf in the pot (the foil will make it easier to lift the meatloaf out and keep it out of the drippings). Combine remaining soup, 1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce, the water, mustard, and brown sugar. Whisk together and pour over the meat loaf. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Serves 4 to 6. Serate Member 08-21-2001 Monday, April 09, 2012 - 8:06 pm        sounds yummy Roxip thanks for posting! Roxip Member 01-29-2004 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - 6:55 am        Now if I can just get around to cooking it...LOL! Roxip Member 01-29-2004 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - 7:57 am        My next recipe to try...(it only has 4 ingredients...that makes it exciting for me!) Parmesan Crusted Chicken 1/2 cup Hellmans Mayo (lite of desired) 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 4 tsp Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs Preheat oven to 425. Combine mayo with cheese in medium bowl. Arrange chicken on baking sheet. Evenly top with mayo mixture, then sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake 20 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. If you want to use thin-cut boneless skinless chicken breasts prepare as above, decreasing bake time to 10 minutes (or until chicken is cut). LOL...Dale Jr. (Earnhardt) talks about this recipe on a commercial. Whoami Member 08-02-2001 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - 8:34 am        I tried that recipe Roxip. It came out ok, but I either used too much breadcrumbs, or the breadcrumbs I used were too fine. It came out kinda dense. Oh, and in observation of the thread we're in, I didn't cook it in the crock pot. LOL. Roxip Member 01-29-2004 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - 8:38 am        Oops, sorry, wrong thread! Hukdonreality Member 09-29-2003 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - 8:59 am        I've used sour cream to coat the chicken, then crushed up Cheezit crackers instead of using cheese and breadcrumbs. The chicken is so moist you'll swear it's undercooked! YuM! Chewpito Member 01-03-2004 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - 9:19 am        I found this recipe the other day and was wondering if anyone had ever tried it...I have not...but it looks interesting' Crock pot lasagna http://www.creatingthroughlife.com/2011/10/crock-pot-lasagna.html Chewpito Member 01-03-2004 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - 9:21 am        (of course I would not use the ground beef) but I could think of alot of nice veggies that would work just fine... Roxip Member 01-29-2004 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - 9:50 am        I haven't personally made the crockpot lasagne but know of a woman who made a Weight Watcher recipe for crockpot lasagne and got rave reviews. Thanks Hukd for the suggestions. Now I'm almost hungry! Karuuna Board Administrator 08-30-2000 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - 9:58 am        I think it looks good, but I would use tomato sauce with no sugar added, whole grain noodles and low fat ricotta cheese, along with the veggies you mentioned. Jewels Member 09-22-2000 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - 10:05 am        I have made crockpot lasagna before, it was great! Just make sure that the top layer has lots of sauce because the noodles on the top tend to dry out. Watch it during the day, if you can. Roxip Member 01-29-2004 Sunday, June 17, 2012 - 10:42 pm        Super easy, really good... large pork roast 1 can beef broth 1 can french onion soup 1 bottle honey mustard barbeque sauce Put roast (approx 4 pounds) in crockpot, pour broth and soup over it and cook for about 8-10 hours. Remove roast and liquid from crockpot, put roast back in crockpot and shred with forks, put 2 ladlefuls of juice and 1/2 bottle (or more if you prefer) of barbeque sauce over meat and mix it all together. Let warm. Serve over hamburger buns. I used a 2-1/2 pound pork roast and quite honestly it was almost too "wet" - if you are using a smaller roast maybe it might be better to adjust amount of liquid you add. Also, I'm going to try a beef roast next time simply because I prefer the texture. But it made great sandwiches. Lakecat Member 10-01-2006 Monday, November 18, 2019 - 11:53 am        I’m sure many of you have tried The Mississippi pot roast. I cook mine in a crock pot. Just salt and pepper the roast and sprinkle it with a pkg of ranch dressing mix and a pkg of dry au jus mix ( I’ve used a little onion soup mix instead when I couldn’t find au jus) Put a stick of butter on top and slices of pepperoncini peppers all over it. Cook on low for 8 hours. Yum. I don’t ever use an entire stick of butter,I use half a stick and those peppers are key. Grooch Member 06-16-2006 Monday, November 18, 2019 - 12:07 pm        Thanks for the recipe. I'm going to have to try it. Every time he comes out to visit he has to have pot toast. He makes it and I don't care for it. Maybe this will do the trick. The hard part will be finding those peppers. Lakecat Member 10-01-2006 Monday, November 18, 2019 - 3:24 pm        They are in a jar in the pickles and olive section of the grocery store. This is another southern recipe like cornbread dressing. Grooch Member 06-16-2006 Monday, November 18, 2019 - 3:28 pm        Thanks. I was thinking you had to use fresh ones. Mak1 Member 08-11-2002 Monday, November 18, 2019 - 8:24 pm        I don't usually like pot roast, but Lakecat's recipe makes it so tender and delicious. My only complaint is that it's quite salty. Grooch Member 06-16-2006 Tuesday, November 19, 2019 - 4:10 am        That's something to consider. The meat needs the salt and pepper to flavor it. I wonder if the packaged mixes come in low sodium packs. The only thing left are the peppers. I wonder if I found fresh ones, I could pickle them quick with some rice vinegar. I'm going grocery shopping today to get the ingredients to have on hand for next time my friend wants pot roast. He can buy the roast. It may take time to even find the packets with the lousy stores around here. I refuse to go to Stop and Shop because it's to large, crowded and I detest their parking lot. It's also out of the way. I hope I don't have to end up there. If I must suffer through pot roast, I might as well have fun with it and try new recipes to give me some interest in it. Karuuna Board Administrator 08-30-2000 Tuesday, November 19, 2019 - 9:21 am        Onion soup comes in low salt versions. I've never used pepperocinis, doesn't sound like something I would like. But I taught my son how to make pot roast in his crock pot, and he loves it with just onion soup mix. Jmm Moderator 08-15-2002 Tuesday, November 19, 2019 - 8:42 pm        I don't eat the peppers but they give it a good flavor, Karuuna. I use whole peppers and just put 3 or 4 on top of the roast. Sunnyday Member 08-07-2014 Tuesday, November 19, 2019 - 9:12 pm        Kar mix mushroom soup with the onion soup mix it makes a delicious gravy.
