CONGRESSIONAL BEAN SOUP IN A CROCKPOT
1 lb Small white beans
8 c Water
2 c Ham, diced
1 c Onion, diced
1 c Celery, chopped
2 tb Parsley, chopped
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Pepper
1 Bay leaf
Assemble ingredients in Slow Cooker. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours or until
beans are tender.
 
CRANBERRY-APPLE TURKEY BREAST
* 2 teaspoons melted butter or margarine
* 1/2 cup chicken broth
* 1 large apple, cored and chopped
* 1/2 cup chopped onion
* 1 stalk celery, chopped
* 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
* 3/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
* 2 cups seasoned crumb-style stuffing
* 2 to 3 pounds turkey breast cutlets.
Combine butter, chicken broth, apple, onion, celery, cranberry sauce, poultry
seasoning and stuffing. Place 3 tablespoons stuffing mix on each turkey cutlet.
Roll up and tie. Place in stoneware. Cover; cook on LOW 8 hours (HIGH 4 hours).
 
CREAMY CHICKEN AND RICE
* chicken tenders (3 per person)
* cream of mushroom soup
(1 can for 2-3 people, 2 for 4-6)
* Mrs. Grass Onion Soup Mix (1 per each can of soup)
* 1Tbsp olive oil
* long grain brown rice (1 cup per can of soup)
* 1Tbsp whole thyme, crushed
* S&P to taste
* desired amount of broccoli florettes (optional)
* diced red pepper (optional)
When using brown rice, you need 2 1/4 cups liquid for each 1 cup rice. So I empty
my can of soup into a measuring cup, and add water (or white wine) to equal 2 1/2
(not a typo, you need the extra for the onion soup mix). Heat olive oil in a saute
pan, and add rice until it begins to crackle, but not brown. This will make the
rice dense, and help it keep it's shape while cooking. Whisk together the soups and
additional H2o, herbs and seasonings. Combine all ingredients (except veggies) in
crockpot, and cook on high 4-6 hours, or 8-10 hours on low. During last 30-45
minutes, add desired veggies.
Great with crusty bread, and a fresh salad.

1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 Tbsp. cilantro
2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1/4 tsp. garlic powder)
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. salt
1 can (8oz) chopped tomatoes
12 8inch flour tortillas

CROCKPOT BEEF STEW I
2 lbs. stew beef
1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. paprika
4 lg. carrots
3 lg. potatoes
1 c. condensed beef broth
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/3 c. soy sauce
1 lg. onion
1 can tomato sauce (8 oz.)
Layer potatoes, then carrots. Top with meat; sprinkle meat with soy sauce, salt,
paprika, pepper & flour.
Spread with chopped onions. Combine beef broth & tomato sauce & pour overall. Cover
& cook on low 7 - 8 hrs. or high 4 - 5 hrs.
NOTES:
Instead of sprinkling the meat with soy sauce, salt, paprika, pepper & flour as the
recipes says, I mix those all together in a small bowl. This prevents the flour
from becoming clumpy.
-Instead of chopped onions, I use 3 or 4 small yellow onions whole (I'm not an
onion fan but still like the taste they give the stew.)
-I add about 1/4 cup barbecue sauce to the top, before putting the cover on. I use
whatever variety of sauce that I have on hand. I don't usually buy the "regular"
flavor of any brand, but instead have hickory, brown sugar or garlic and onion
flavors. The BBQ sauce adds an extra "kick" to the meat and gravy.
-For the beef broth, since I don't usually keep that on hand, I dissolve 1 beef
bouillon cube into 1 cup boiling water.
