Crock Pot Smothered Pork Chops November 8, 2017

Filed under: Main Dish,Recipes,Slow Cooker — admin @ 10:27 am

Since school sports are starting, crockpot meals are a life saver. This recipe has a really good taste, but I will never use bone-in pork chops again. The bone fell right off the pork chops and ended up with little shards in the gravy. So no leftovers.  Next time I’ll either do a boneless pork chop or a pork shoulder. I made rice to go with the meal and a veggie.

Easy Slow Cooker Chicken & Dumplings June 16, 2016

Filed under: Main Dish,Slow Cooker — admin @ 8:14 am

My son being a picky eater, he does love Chicken & Dumplings. Me being busy, loves my Slow Cooker. I came across this recipe on Pinterest and figured I’d give it a try. I did tweek it a little. I didn’t add the season salt and I added a bag of baby carrots under the chicken. All I have to say is yum! This is definitely a keeper.

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tsp dried parsley
  • ¼ tsp poultry seasoning
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 10 canned, regular size, buttermilk biscuits
Instructions
  1. Place chicken in the bottom of slow cooker, along with chopped onion and 2 TB butter. Sprinkle with dried parsley, seasoning salt, poultry seasoning, and garlic powder.
  2. Add baby carrots, chicken broth, and cream of chicken soup to crockpot, and stir all ingredients to combine. Place lid on top and cook over low heat for 6-8 hours, or high heat for 4-5 hours.
  3. After cooking for at least 6 hours on low, or 4 hours on high, remove lid and stir mixture with a spoon or fork, breaking apart the chicken into smaller chunks.
  4. Chop the biscuits into quarters and add to the crockpot. Push biscuit dough down into the crockpot a bit so that they will absorb the gravy as they cook.
  5. Replace the lid and continue cooking for 1 more hour over high heat until biscuits are cooked through and begin to turn golden brown.

Ingredients

  • Toppings

Directions

Step 1
Put your Chicken Breasts in your Crock Pot, pour the Taco Seasoning over the Chicken Breasts. Then pour the Mild Salsa on top. Set Crock Pot on Low and cook for 4-6 hours. (My crockpot doesn't have low 4 - 6 hours, so I did low for 8 hours and it came out perfect) You should be able to shred the Chicken apart with a fork. Put some Chicken in a Tortilla and top with whatever you wish.
