Everyone loves a good burger. What's even better, the hubby likes to cook them outside on the grill. You could go with meat, prepared veggie burgers, portabello mushrooms...whatever floats your boat. Add a few ears of corn to the grill and slice up some watermelon and you've got an easy-to-clean-up meal that you probably won't even have to cook.

A crowd pleaser in my family are lazy cabbage rolls. I do mine in a casserole dish in the oven but they can be done in a slow cooker. Just find a good cabbage roll stuffing recipe and instead of rolling the leaves, the leaves are shredded and some put on the bottom, then put in the filling layer and layer more shredded cabbage on top.

We like these 3 crock pot meals:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beef Tips in Mushroom Sauce
2 lbs. beef cut in small pieces (I use stew meat ... already cubed)
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
2 pkgs. dry onion soup mix
1 can sprite or 7up
Put meat in crock pot. Pour soup & onion over meat. Add Sprite/7up & cook in pol all day on low or or high for at least 4 hours. This is good served over rice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Creamy Italian Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut up in small chunks)
1/2 cup water
2 pkgs. dry Italian salad dressing mix
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 - 8 oz. softened cream cheese
Place chicken in crock pot. Mix water & salad dressing together & pour on top of chicken. Cook on low for 3 hours. Mix soup & cream cheese together & pour on top of chicken. Cook another hour.
This is good over noodles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deli Roasted Chicken
1 Whole chicken
Pam Olive Oil Spray
Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Aluminum Foil
Clean chicken inside & out & spray with olive oil spray. Sprinkle with Lawry's seasoned salt. Spray inside of crock pot with Pam. Do not put any water into crock pot. Roll wads of foil into balls & put in bottom of crock pot. Put chicken (back side down) on top of aluminum balls. Cook on high 4 to 6 hours.

My “don’t want to cook” fall back recipe starts with any type of sausage (we have used breakfast sausage, bulk, patties, or formed sausages, keibasa, Italian, even applewood smoked, whatever) Fry the sausage until brown, drain half the fat, add celery seed to taste, stir in leftover veggies if you like(we like carrots) , and top it off with a head of cabbage chopped bite size. Simmer until the cabbage has turned a brighter green, add Mrs. Dash to taste, stir and serve. Filling and satisfying. (For those diabetics out there like me, no white food here.)

osewme, this sounds great. Can I put the chicken on a small dish to keep it off the bottom of the pot. I have an oven dish that is oval and will fit perfectly in my crock pot.

Seasonings ... as above or whatever you want.
Lots of times, all I do is pour some BBQ sauce on top of the chicken after a good seasoning of salt.
Makes for a pretty easy-peasy supper, any time of the year.
However it is a favourite during hot weather for a good wholesome meal without heating up the house further!

I confess, I did not read this entire thread, but suggest you try "the recipe critic". Her recipes are easy and look so good. Her site was just recently forwarded to me. -- Now to go back and read this whole thread.

This is what we're having tonight. Company-ready and super simple. Just add rice and a green salad. https://www.delish.com/cooking/recip...shrimp-recipe/
