I have found many really easy and interesting ideas for slow cooker on that blog.

But my all time (and kids favorite) is steel cut oats ready when you wake up in the morning!

I was going to suggest this website as well. I use this a lot for many things.

Beef Stroganoff (9 Points)


1 1/2 lb. beef, trimmed -- * see note

1 c chopped onion

8 oz. sliced mushrooms

1 tbs. Dijon mustard

2 tsp. dried parsley

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. dill -- dried

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 clove garlic -- minced

1/2 c all-purpose flour -- * see note

1 can fat-free beef broth -- * see note

3/4 c lowfat sour cream

6 c egg noodles, Barilla -- cooked, * see note



Trim fat from steak. Wrap steak in heavy-duty plastic wrap; freeze 30 minutes. Unwrap steak; cut steak diagonally across grain into 1/8-inch thick slices. Place steak, onion, and next 7 ingredients in a 3-quart electric slow cooker. Combine flour and broth in a bowl; stir with a whisk until blended.



Add broth mixture to cooker; stir well. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 8 hours or until tender. Turn slow cooker off; remove lid. Let stand 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream. Serve stroganoff over noodles.



Notes: Had 1 1/2 lbs. of extra lean stew beef in cubes and used it just as it was). To make up for the extra beef I increased the broth to use the whole can (was 1 cup), and the flour (was 1/3 cup).

And, because the extra beef gave me additional servings, I increased the noodle amount to give me the right nutritional analysis.
