I heard that "bump" just means they want to keep this topic at the top of the list, so even if they don't have anything to say, writing "bump" will bump it back to the top because of a new comment posted. idk though?

BUMP

bump!

bump - yummo! can't wait to try some new ones!

I love the crockpot lady's cassoulet (365 challenge- the link is on p1), I use vennison or toulose sausages, some strakey bacon - but I grill it all first ton get the fat off, then slice and add to the crockpot. I use any dried beans to hand (soaked overnight) and really bump up the quantities so it easily serves 8 but using only the meat for 4 - than freeze in portions for another day. Using less meat reduces the calories, as does grilling first.

Ok I am a newbie and this will for sure show it!! But what the heck is the "bump" on posts all about??

Thanks,
Ann

I also do chicken breast + peppers/onions/jalapenos/spices/salsa in the SC all day, shred the chicken when I get home and then toss in frozen corn and spinach for the last 30 minutes or so...

Oatmeal is great in the slow cooker overnight if you have one small enough and use steelcut oats. The options are literally endless.
You can also make loads of applesauce, apple butter, and all kinds of other delicious spreads. And it's great for cooking whole squash, too.

Do some searching online and you'll find tons of stuff. Wish I could remember more, but I'm blanking right now!

Slow-Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
1lb of boneless skinless chicken breasts (or really, whatever you want to use)
2 tablespoons of butter (some versions of this recipe call for only 1)
2 cans (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
1 medium white onion, diced (some versions call for onion flakes instead)
4 large flaky refrigerator biscuits (half a can)

Place thawed chicken in crockpot. Top with butter, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and onion.

Cook on high 4-6 hours or on low for 8 hours.

After the chicken has cooked thoroughly, cut the biscuits into small pieces (9 pieces each). Add biscuits and continue to cook 30 mins to an hour longer, or until the biscuits are done.

Remove chicken and shred. After shredded, place chicken back into crockpot and mix. Serve hot.

Serves 6-8.

I used one can of cream of chicken and mushroom soup and one can of cream of mushroom soup, i also omitted the onion and used frozen trio country vegetables (Great value) the nutritional values are based on these changes.
