We get a new recipe from our ward newsletter every month, but I usually have the intention to try it and I end up throwing it out. Anyway, I thought I could put them here and then I will know where to look when I want to try something new!

Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore

*Boneless, skinless chicken (a in as many as you can fit)
*Marinara (I use newman's) 2 cans
*Bread crumbs
*Taco blend of Shredded cheese (abt. 4 cups)
*parmesan

In layers, pour ingredients in, covering the surface of your Crockpot. Repeat till all of your needed chicken is covered.

Crockpot Chops--a family favorite

*Boneless Pork Chops
*2-3 Family sized cans of cream O' mushroom
*2-3 Family sized cans of cream O' Chicken
Mustard
Flour (optional)

its another plop and cook. you throw it all into the crack and turn it on High 4-6 hrs. The soups make a gravy to go over rice.

~~You are supposed to dip the chops in mustard, coat with flour, then brown them. i don't do that. I usually dump everything in, squirt about 1/4 cup of mustard in, stir it up, and it turns out about the same.

Baked Steak

*Cream O' Mushroom
*Round Steak
*Onion
*Worchestershire sauce

Get your crock pot. Put in your steak, then your soup --enough to cover steak. Then add onion and worchester to season. (just a couple of glugs out of the bottle.)

Cook on high about 6 hrs. Or on low overnight.

Serve with mashed potatoes or rice with gravy (the mush. soup) on top. Mmmmm.....
