.:Crockpot Pork:.

I don't actually have a name for this recipe, so crockpot pork it is!

My husband got this recipe from a customer going through his line at work. When he first showed it to me, I have to admit, I thought it sounded gross. But I decided to give it a try. If you know me, you know that I am not a brave eater. I like things simple, plain, and just the way I like them. This actually wasn't too bad. Neither of us were raving about it, but we both thought that it was good. And who doesn't love a good crockpot meal?

.:Crockpot Mexican Breakfast Casserole:.

I haven't actually tried this yet, but it sounds delicious and I plan to put it on the menu for next week! I'm all about crockpot meals! It says it's a breakfast casserole, but obviously it would be good morning or nite! I found it on this awesome website.

CROCKPOT MEXICAN BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
Serves 8

Corn tortillas - 7 or 8
8 eggs
2 c fat free milk
2 c shredded Mexican blend cheese (or just plain cheddar or whatever cheese you want!)
1 can (7 oz.) drained green chilis
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 onion diced
1 c corn
1 c sliced mushrooms (optional)
3/4 t kosher salt
1/2 t black salt
* Optional - add whatever meat you would like
(In my opinion, the onions are optional too!)

- Butter or Pam the inside of your stoneware
- Put a layer of tortillas on the bottom (you may have to tear them to make them fit nicely)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the other ingredients, whisk together
- Pour about 1/2 of the mixture in the crockpot, on top of the tortillas
- Put in another layer of tortillas
- Top with the remaining mixture
- Top with another layer of tortillas
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours
- If your crockpot seals well (causing a lot of condensation) uncover 15-20 minutes before serving and cook on high to release the condensation and firm up the top a bit
- You know it is done when the eggs are cooked, edges have begun to brown, and the cheese is slightly crispy

If you don't like corn tortillas, or want to go another route, you can use frozen hashbrowns instead.

YUM!

Crockpot Chicken

2-3 chicken breasts
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can french onion soup
1 bag of mini carrots

Place all items in your crockpot and stir to combine. Cook on low 6-8 hours. I like to make mash potatoes on the side and use the soup sauce as a gravy. You could also put the potatoes right into the crockpot as well. **Use this same recipe to cook a roast instead of chicken!

.:Italian Crockpot Chicken:.

ITALIAN CROCKPOT CHICKEN

2-4 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
1 package cream cheese
1 packet dry Italian dressing mix
2-3 cans cream of chicken soup

Cut chicken into pieces - can be as small or big as you like. Put all ingredients in crockpot. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 8-10 hours. Serve over rice or egg noodles. (I like the egg noodles!)
