I have been using the slow cooker these past two days. Thank you to everyone for the recommendations about the whole chicken! I have it in the freezer because the head and feet are still on it. I need the hubby to chop those things off because it scares me every time!

I used what I had on hand and this was pretty good! I put potatoes, carrots, onions and then raw chicken breasts in the slow cooker.

Added about a cup of water and two cans of condensed cream of chicken soup. I threw in some herbs and kept it on low for 8 hrs.

The hubs loved it and it was quite tasty over rice. It was a bit salty for me but not bad.

I personally like cream of mushroom better than chicken. Maybe I’ll try that next time.

This was dinner tonight! A sort of “anything in your pantry” chili.

I had a cans of marinara sauce, tomatoes, kidney beans, and half a jar of salsa.

Threw all of that in the slow cooker with fresh onion, yellow and green peppers. I had fresh tomatoes too so I chopped those and added them as well.

I had chili seasoning and I fried some ground beef separately. Drained the fat and added to the slow cooker and stirred.

Low for 8 hours and it turned out absolutely amazing over rice.

It was an experiment but not bad for a fast, hassle free meal.

I’m loving the slow cooker! Can’t wait to try more experiments and recipes!

I’m so full. Food coma!
