Even though it isn't cold today (YAY!), I decided to make a hearty dinner of Salisbury Steak, rice, and veggies. I am really getting into using my crockpot more so I can prepare dinner in the morning/afternoon and do very little around dinner time (AKA "crazy hour"). So today I made the Salisbury Steak using this recipe:

I decided to just brown the patties on both sides and threw them in the crockpot with a couple jars of the beef gravy on high (probably could have done low) for a few hours. They finished cooking and got very tender so I just diced it all up and it was a great mixture to throw on top of rice. Around dinner time I just cooked some green beans and some rice in a bag. Easy peasy to quote Rachael Ray. ;)

Chicken Stuffing Casserole
Most of you know about my chicken stuffing pie recipe that calls for chicken, cream of chicken soup, rice, and stuffing mix, but today I tried something different and it was "off the chain" good.
First off, I cooked the chicken (2 lbs) in the crock pot:
http://organizedhomemaking.blogspot.com/2011/09/all-purpose-chicken-in-crock-pot.html
(The post about how I did it).
Then I shredded the chicken (basically poked at it and it all fell apart).
I added 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and about a half can of water and mixed really well.
I poured this into a baking dish.
I cooked a package of stuffing mix using chicken broth.
I put it on top of the chicken mixture.
I baked it at 350 for roughly 30 minutes.
It was heavenly. It is different from the chicken stuffing pie recipe in that it doesn't call for rice, the mixture is a little creamier since the chicken is slow cooked in the crock pot, and I cooked the stuffing rather than putting it on dry. It didn't have the crunchy consistency.
Enjoy! :)

All Purpose Chicken in Crock Pot
I am officially in love with crock pot cooking. I love how I can dump stuff in and have a nice meal at the end of the day. I found today that it is great for what I am calling "all purpose chicken." I have a ton of recipes that call for cooked chicken and I generally boil it. I'll admit I don't boil it a super long time because quite frankly, I don't have time to watch a pot. I decided to do it in the crock pot. Here's how I did it:
I tossed in a couple pounds of frozen chicken breasts in the pot. I added 2 cups of water (1 cup per pound if you want more or less) and 2 boullion cubes (1 per pound if you want more or less). I cooked it on low for roughly 8 hours and drained off the liquid. The chicken literally was falling apart and looks awesome.
I am planning to use it in my chicken stuffing pie tonight. YUMMY!

No Ricotta Crockpot Lasagna
You are probably wondering, why make a lasagna without ricotta? I know what you mean. I love lasagna the regular way. My husband doesn't care for ricotta cheese. So I decided to try to make a lasagna sans ricotta. My dear friend, Juli, gave me a recipe and said to omit the ricotta and see what happened. It turned out beautiful so I decided to share. Enjoy! :)
No Ricotta Crockpot Lasagna
Ingredients:
1lb lean ground beef or turkey
1 small onion, chopped
1 small pepper, chopped (I used a little bit of all colored peppers)
...A few cloves of garlic, minced
Some olive oil
1 bag (2 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese (divided in half)
Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1 box no-cook lasagna noodles
2 jars pasta sauce (I used the Aldi brand and it is awesome)
Directions:
Saute the ground beef or turkey, onion, peppers, and garlic in olive oil until meat is thoroughly cooked.
Drain really really well.
Add eggs, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese (1 cup), and some Parmesan cheese and mix well.
In the crockpot, put 1 cup of sauce.
Put a layer of lasagna noodles (break to fit - doesn't have to be perfect).
Put a layer of the meat mixture.
Put a layer of sauce.
Repeat until you run out of supplies (make sure sauce is on top).
Add the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
Add some Parmesan cheese.
Cook on low for 2 1/2 hours (mine was done at this point).
