    "Does anyone know where I can buy a new glass/plastic top for a crockpot? I want one now and don't want to wait to order one."

    Amazon has some pot lids, in silicone, glass and metal, but you said you didn't want to wait. So I would check my existing pot lids and see if one of them fits. If it does, go to a store like Walmart and buy a glass lid of that size. You might also check second hand stores.

    Crock Pot chicken and dumplings
    (Generally like 400ish calories a serving)

    1.5 lbs of chicken (I generally use thigh meat cause I am cheap, but breast works fine too.)
    1 can cream of mushroom soup
    1 can cream of chicken soup
    1 can chicken broth
    1 container of sour cream
    1 package of biscut dough (from the refridgerator section)

    Dice the chicken up and put it in the crock pot with the soup and the broth. Let that cook for anywhere from 4-8 hours (depends on how hot your crock pot runs). Add the sour cream and break up each biscut into little pieces and add to the mix. Sitr it up and cook for another hour.

    It is sooo easy and super delicious. I generally cook for 6 hours (due to my specific crock pot) and then add the extra hour after adding the biscuts.

    that sound yummy, thanks. Do you think you could begin that with frozen chicken breasts? Did you serve it with sour cream, or anything else? Was it somewhat soupy?

    A favorite in our house is as follows:

    4 chicken breasts
    2 cans Campbell's low fat cream soup (we use chicken, but you can use anything)
    1/4 cup cornmeal
    1 TSP flour

    Throw the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour the 2 cans of soup overtop. Cook on low 8 hours or high 4 hours.

    1/2 hour before finished mix cornmeal & flour together. Sprinkle on top of mixture.

    The result? Yummy creamy chicken with a cornbread type crust on top. YUM.

    Holy Yummyness Batwoman!! This sounds sooo good! Thank you


    ** I also do a variation of her recipe as well- Lazy Man Chicken Pot pie- All above ingredients except NOT the flour or cornmeal. Add one can of corn, can of green beans, can of sliced carrots & a whole chopped onion. Make pillsbury crescent rolls or bisquits on top. Its a CROWD PLEASER in my house! I have tons more that I will add to the end of this thread.. Ive also friended you to keep you posted on all my new crock pot creations! I make a lazy man chicken fajita in the CP- amazing!

    I have THEE most amazing recipe for MEAT SAUCE you will ever have, Its known among my friends as "Noelle's Fabulous Meat Sauce" lol.. Original recipe called for ground beef & regualr sweet italian sausage but I prefer turkey & chicken bc its lower in fat/calories.

    1 lb. ground lean turkey
    1 lb. chicken sauage- taken out of case or bulk.
    1 large can crushed tomatos
    2 6 oz. cans of tomoato sauce
    1 small can tomato paste
    4 whole carrots - Chopped & diced fine (like food processed)
    1 med onion (food processed/diced fine)
    1 green pepper (food processed or diced fine)
    2 TBSP garlic
    2 shakes of italian seasoning
    2 TBSP sugar
    1/2 cup of water

    Brown sausage & turkey~ drain~ transfer to slow cooker. Add all other ingredients. Cook on medium heat for 6-8 hrs. 1/2 hr before serving add 1/2 c parmesan cheese. Serve with whole wheat pasta & crusty french bread. PS Its only me & my husband & I can get 2-3 nights of meals out of this. It freezes beautifully.

    I dont know the calorie count- Sorry!

    Ill keep 'em coming- I have a ton!

    BUMP means thanks????

    Bump means a couple things... one is you might not have time to comment right then, so you want to come back to the thread later (and want to find it again lol) and it will bump it over to your 'My Topics' category so you'll have it there to look at later to snag the recipes or comment on the article later.

    A Bump also brings the thread to the top of the threads.

    Bump also is a form of flattery in some cases if you really liked the article, topic etc. and want to be sure others see it you bump it so it moves up.

    When you see someone say bump thanks! It just means thanks! and they're bumping at the same time :wink:

    Hth:happy:

    Does anyone know where I can buy a new glass/plastic top for a crockpot? I want one now and don't want to wait to order one.

    Thanks,

    Jeannie
    Look up on your local Freecycle groups, great place to find things you need or need to get rid of that others have or are looking for themselves. Yahoogroups.com Then look up your area and freecycle Lots and lots of crocks and lids to be had there! Someone is always breaking a lid or a crock and passing along the rest to someone in need, good luck! I feel for you!:drinker:
