1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* Use half nonfat and half whole milk, or all nonfat for lower fat content.
Substitute canned milk for the regular milk for a very rich flavor. The
cooking time will vary greatly, anywhere from 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours. The
longer it cooks the thicker it will be.

after about 1 hour. Or, cook on high for the first 30 minutes, turn to low

and stir. If rice is not absorbing the milk quickly enough, turn the
crock pot up to high again. Keep cover on at all times.

experimentation can tell you the correct amount of time for cooking in your
crock pot. Rarely will a crock pot recipe fail, though, as the long, slow

pkg indicates
4 boned and skinned chicken breast halves (I use the
thighs w/ bones they are more juicy)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can mushrooms, sliced and drained
Prepare packaged stuffing mix as indicated on package.
The important thing is to prepare it with moisture as the
specific package indicates. Layer stuffing in the bottom of
greased crock pot. Place the chicken on top. They can
overlap some, but try to arrange it with as little overlap as
possible, even if you have to squash them in. If there is
room, you could use more chicken. Also, you could use
bone in chicken pieces, not necessarily just boneless breast.
On top of the chicken, pour 1 can of cream of chicken
soup, or you could use cream of mushroom, or cream of
celery, whatever you like. Just don't add the liquid the
soup can says to use. Add one can of mushrooms sliced.
Use as little or as much as you like. Be sure to stir the
mushrooms around a little so they get cover with the
soup.

Kelly (09:46:06) : Crock Pot Rice Pudding with Fruit
1/2 gallon milk -- * see note
1 cup rice
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons margarine -- solid
1/4 teaspoon salt -- optional
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dried apricots OR peaches -- minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* Use half nonfat and half whole milk, or all nonfat for lower fat content.
Substitute canned milk for the regular milk for a very rich flavor. The
cooking time will vary greatly, anywhere from 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours. The
longer it cooks the thicker it will be.
It is important to have the dried apricots minced. Put all ingredients into crock pot. Stir to blend well. Cover and cook on high 1-1/2 hours, stir once
after about 1 hour. Or, cook on high for the first 30 minutes, turn to low
and cook as long as you desire. Check after the first 2 hours of low cooking
and stir. If rice is not absorbing the milk quickly enough, turn the
crock pot up to high again. Keep cover on at all times.
Crock pot temperatures vary widely among different brands. Only
experimentation can tell you the correct amount of time for cooking in your
crock pot. Rarely will a crock pot recipe fail, though, as the long, slow
cooking process does not require precise timing.

Kelly (09:35:22) : Easy Crock Pot Chicken with Stuffing
1 Package herb-seasoned stuffing cubes, prepare as
pkg indicates
4 boned and skinned chicken breast halves (I use the
thighs w/ bones they are more juicy)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can mushrooms, sliced and drained
Prepare packaged stuffing mix as indicated on package.
The important thing is to prepare it with moisture as the
specific package indicates. Layer stuffing in the bottom of
greased crock pot. Place the chicken on top. They can
overlap some, but try to arrange it with as little overlap as
possible, even if you have to squash them in. If there is
room, you could use more chicken. Also, you could use
bone in chicken pieces, not necessarily just boneless breast.
On top of the chicken, pour 1 can of cream of chicken
soup, or you could use cream of mushroom, or cream of
celery, whatever you like. Just don't add the liquid the
soup can says to use. Add one can of mushrooms sliced.
Use as little or as much as you like. Be sure to stir the
mushrooms around a little so they get cover with the
soup.
