    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.

    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.

    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!

    Crockpot Macaroni and Cheese

    2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
    2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
    1 cup milk
    1 can cheddar cheese soup
    1/2 cup butter
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, dry mustard

    Boil macaroni for 7 minutes, drain. In saucepan, melt butter. Add cheese and stir until melted. Add salt, pepper, dry mustard, soup, sour cream and milk; blend well. 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.

    I hope you weren't expecting a low fat recipe! LOL!

    salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
    6 oz. can French Fried Onions

    Combine all ingredients in the crockpot except the onions. Cook on low for 4-6 hours, stirring once. Sprinkle with onions before serving. Serves 4-6
