Sweet 'n' salty chicken (FAVORITE)

Place chicken in a greased 3-41/2 quart slow cooker. Combine the salsa and soup and then pour over the chicken. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours.

Eric and I will take the chicken out (after the 6-8 hours) and shred it. After shredding it we will put it back in the sauce (whether in a bowl or back in the crockpot) we will eat it with tortilla chips.


Easy Lasagna (Eric didn't really like this one but i did and it was fast)

12 lasagna noodles, uncooked
1 lb ground beef, browned and drained
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 (28 oz ) jar spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup water
1 (16 oz) container cottage cheese
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese

Break noodles in half. place half of the noodles in the bottom of a greased 4-quart slow cooker. Stir the Italian seasoning into meat and then spread half of the meat over the noodles in the slow cooker. Spoon half of the sauce over the meat. Pour half of the water over top. Layer half of the cottage cheese and half of the mozzarella over the beef. Repeat layers. Cover and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours. Do not overcook of the noodles will become mushy.

Hot fudge brownie cake (I have only made this once but...it was good)
2 cups packaged brownie mix
1 lg egg
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup milk chocolate chips
1/3 cup chopped nuts (i didn't use nuts)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp baking cocoa
3/4 boiling water

Combine the brownie mix, egg, oil, water, chocolate chips, and nuts. Spread the batter in a greased 2 1/2 - 3 1/2- quart slow cooker. Combine the sugar, cocoa and boiling water, making sure the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour mixture over the batter. Cover and cook on high heat for 2 hours. Turn off the slow cooker and let the brownies sit, covered, for 30, minutes

**When baking breads or cakes, place 6-8 paper towels across the top of the slow cooker stoneware and then place the lid on top. this prevents the breads or cakes from becoming soggy.

I will be trying new recipes soon, I will blog them as i like them :) 

Have a YUMMY week :)
