Cooking with Susie Q

For those of you who are gearing up for at least one full day of marathon shopping, you’ll be wanting a recipe for something that’s ready when everyone gets home. Instead of picking up pizza on the way past the pizza place, how about a few minutes of your time either the night before or in the morning before you leave the house. I’ve found a couple of crockpot/slow cooker recipes I think you will like and hope you’ll try at least one. Happy shopping and I hope you find what you’re looking for! 

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
This is a very easy recipe for a delicious pot roast. It makes its own gravy.
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1 1/4 cups water
5 1/2 pounds pot roast

 Directions: In a slow cooker, mix cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix and water. Place pot roast in slow cooker and coat with soup mixture.
Cook on High setting for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low setting for 8 to 9 hours.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 onion, finely diced
2 (10 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces

    Directions:  Place the chicken, butter, soup, and onion in a slow cooker, and fill with enough water to cover.
Cover, and cook for 5 to 6 hours on High. About 30 minutes before serving, place the torn biscuit dough in the slow cooker. Cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center.

Pizza Casserole

1 (8 ounce) package
rigatoni pasta
1 (16 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of tomato soup
2 (14 ounce) jars pizza sauce
1 (8 ounce) package sliced pepperoni sausage

 Directions: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off grease. In slow cooker, alternate layers of ground beef, noodles, cheese, soup, sauce and pepperoni. Cook on Low setting for 4 hours.
