Crock Pot Comfort Food - Can It Get Any Better?



I was on the hunt for a new crock pot friendly recipe and came across this one.  My husband and sons loved it so I thought I'd share it with you.  

Found in a cookbook called Slow Cooker Recipes.  It was submitted by Marge Dicton of Bartonsville, PA.




Easy Special Pot Roast

10 3/4 oz. can Cheddar cheese soup
10 3/4 oz. can golden mushroon soup
10 3/4 oz. can French onion soup
3-lb. beef chuck roast

Mix soups in a slow cooker; top with roast.  Cover and cook on low setting for 8 - 9 hours, turning roast halfway through cooking time if possible.  Makes 6 servings.

**The gravy is delicious on noodles, mashed potatoes or rice.**

A Crock Pot Can Be A Writer's Best Friend


It's Sunday and that means we're one day away from Monday...  That's kinda depressing...  The work week begins again.  If you're like me, your day is something similar to this:  At work by 8:00.  Off by 5:00.  And then, you go to work again - but this time it's at home - laundry, dinner, dishes, kids...  The time between 5:00 and lights out - goes by too fast - and there's not a lot of time left to write.  So, I thought I'd share a Crock Pot Recipe that I found from Fix-It and Forget-It.  Maybe it will help free up a little time for you to work on your story!



Chicken Cordon Bleu

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 lb. deli-sliced cooked ham
1/2 lb. baby Swiss cheese, sliced
10 3/4 can cream of chicken soup
1 oz. dry stuffing mix, prepared according to box direction

1.  Layer all ingredients in the order they are listed into your slow cooker.
2.  Cover and cook on Low 6-8 hours, or until chicken is tender but not dry.

Happy Eating!  Happy Writing!
