My Favorite Source for Slow Cooker Recipes


I found this site many, many years ago when it looked totally different.  It has gotten sleeker and more user friendly over the years and I find myself returning to it again and again.  The user submitted slow cooker recipes are usually easy and good.  Can't ask for much more than that!  

Bacon and Cheese Potatoes (Slow Cooker or Oven)


*** If you would like to make these in the oven -- 400 degrees for an hour in a 9 x 13 baking dish, covered***

Ingredients

1/4 pound bacon, diced
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 pound cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
salt and pepper

Green Onions (optional)

Instructions

1. Line crockpot with foil, leaving enough to cover the potatoes when finished.

2. Layer half each of the bacon, onions, potatoes and cheese in crockpot. Season to taste and dot with butter.

3. Repeat layers of bacon, onions, potatoes and cheese. Dot with butter.

4. Cover with remaining foil.

Simple Cinnamon Roll Waffles

This isn't the healthiest breakfast, but it is a fun treat!  My kids love these so much I have to save them for once or twice a year because they otherwise think this is an acceptable meal.

There's really no recipe, the picture says it all.

Baked Mozzarella Popper

These are so easy even my five year old can help!

                                 


Ingredients:  String Cheese, chopped into bite size pieces.  
                     Bread Crumbs - I prefer Italian
                     1/2 C Milk

Dip cheese in milk, roll in bread crumbs.  Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  
Bake at 425 for 8 - 10 minutes 
Serve with marinara sauce.

Kids love them!

*Tip - If you freeze the cheese (already chopped, of course) and use beaten egg white instead of  or with the milk, they do keep their shape better and the bread crumbs stick a little better.
