Once I get a Crock-Pot I'd love to try this recipe for Sweet Potato, Chicken and Quinoa Soup http://www.chelseasmessyapron.com/slow-cooker-sweet-potato-chicken-and-quinoa-soup/#_a5y_p=2362800

I cook just about everything in my crock pots. I do lots of soups, main courses, even desserts. It's an easy way for me to have a hot healthy meal ready when the kids and I get home every night.
For example tonight we had steak and gravy with squash and baked potato. Everything was cooked in the crock pots. The steak and gravy was cooked in one, while the squash and potatoes were cooked in another one.
Steak and gravy: brown any steak in frying pan or gill. add cream of mushroom soup and 1 can of milk ( I use evaporated, water also can be used). Cook on low all day
clean squash, cut into quarters or eighths. place on bottom of crock pot. clean potatoes, poke with fork, wrap in tin foil. Place on top of squash, cook on low all day until soft. You don't have to wrap the potatoes in tin foil.0 -
I have a recipe for Autumn Turkey Chili. It includes canned pumpkin and some of the associated spices. The pumpkin and spices give it an ever so slight hint of sweetness. My husband and I both love it and make it a lot.0

So sorry I didn't get this out! I was sick Monday and Tuesday; back to work on Wednesday, and it slipped my mind. Here it is, and trust me, it's worth the wait!

Pour 1/2 of cheese sauce into bottom of sprayed crockpot. Add macaroni and top with remaining sauce. Stir well. Cook on low for 2 hours.

making 'lasagna soup' as I write … if it comes out good, I'll share the recipe!!!0

It came out good! Link below -- I made 1 change in that I browned the hamburger first, I'm extremely leery of not browning hamburg before it goes in crockpot. Everything else I followed to the T. Yum!

MichelleV1990 - the mac n cheese was great --- thanks!!!
Julia, that chicken sounds good -- have you made it? How spicy is it?

Not quite yet summerluno2 but I don't like my food to be too spicy so you can drop out the jalapeno peppers. Thought I'd post it as it sounds so delicious (love, love love coconut) - will update soon on how it was.0
