Game Day Chili #Recipe

March 3, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Game Day, Super Bowl, Bob Evans, Sausage, recipeYou can tell I’m really behind. The Super Bowl was Feb 5 and I’m just now posting this recipe. Sigh… better late than never, right? We actually didn’t even make it until the next weekend when we had friends over for a game night. (We ended up going to a friend’s birthday party/Super Bowl party so I couldn’t make the chili that day.) Bob Evans sent me some sausage, a mobile slow cooker and cool football shaped bowls and asked me to try their chili. I was really surprised that I would like it since it’s made with breakfast sausage instead of ground beef or Italian sausage. It turned out to be a really big hit! I served it with hot dogs, a baked potato bar, and corn bread.

Slow Cooker Lasagna #Recipe

February 21, 2012 By 2 Comments

I wanted to try lasagna in the slow cooker but didn’t know which recipe to try. My friend Amanda told me to try this one from Betty Crocker. I found that making it in the slow cooker takes just as much work as making it in the oven and it finished WAY faster than it was supposed to. The recipe said 4-6 hours on low and it took 2. I put it in thinking I needed about 5 hours and had to turn it off early so that it wouldn’t be mush. It turned out tasty!

Slow Cooker Lasagna Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cans (15 ounces each) Italian-style tomato sauce (I actually needed more sauce at the end so I used a little spaghetti sauce on top)
  • 2 t dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)
  • 1 container (15 ounces) part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 15 uncooked lasagna noodles

Instructions

  1. Cook sausage and onion in 10-inch skillet over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, basil and salt.
  2. Mix 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese and the ricotta and Parmesan cheeses. (Refrigerate remaining mozzarella cheese while lasagna cooks.)
  3. Spoon one-fourth of the sausage mixture into 6-quart slow cooker; top with 5 noodles, broken into pieces to fit. Spread with half of the cheese mixture and one-fourth of the sausage mixture. Top with 5 noodles, remaining cheese mixture and one-fourth of the sausage mixture. Top with remaining 5 noodles and remaining sausage mixture.
  4. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 4 to 6 hours or until noodles are tender. (It only took mine 2 hours so make sure you check it.)
  5. Sprinkle top of lasagna with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Cover and let stand about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut into pieces.

Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pork Chops #Recipe #Fail

February 10, 2012 By 4 Comments

I got this recipe from my friend Erika on Facebook. My husband thinks this would taste better if I made my pork chops in the pan and just made the sauce on the side. My pork chops dried out and had no flavor. I was really looking forward to this being a flavorful dish. You can’t win them all! (I also used really thin chops which may have been part of the problem, that and hubby said to stop cooking meat in the slow cooker.)

Slow Cooker Apple Crisp #Recipe

January 25, 2012 By 9 Comments

My husband’s work is having a slow cooker chili cook-off this Friday and he signed up to bring a dessert. Keeping with the slow cooker theme, I decided to try to make a pie in the slow cooker. I threw a few different recipes together to make this. You can definitely make it with raw apples that cook all day but he’s only going to have a few hours to have this come together on Friday so I’m using pie filling. I was sent some Lucky Leaf pie filling for a recipe coming up (they sent me extras) so I’m using the premium apple pie filling for this recipe.

It was a meal that started out with complaining but ended with clean plates! The kids kept saying “I don’t like that.” Once they tried it, though, they enjoyed it and cleaned their plates!
