At Christmas time, i make a spiced cider/cranberrry drink in my crockpot. This year we had nachos/tacos so i had 3 crocks going!
There are tons of recipes online for crockpots and slow cookers.

So, now that Anael has finallllllllllyt ordered a crockpot ... we should all share some recipes!

SewMom ... you have me intrigued about your crockpot desserts ... would you favour us with a recipe or two, please? Thanks!




I'll dash off and find one and will post in a bit .........

Anael ... sure hope that you have many good meals now that you have made the plunge into crock cooking! Otherwise, I am the one to be blamed!

Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3 tbsp. butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1-1/2 cups milk
1 to 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
5 medium potatoes, peeled, and sliced thin

Butter the bottom and sides of the crockpot.

Combine butter, flour, salt and pepper in saucepan over medium low heat. Whisk in milk gradually until no lumps remain. Heat and stir until bubbly and thickened. Stir in cheese til melted. Add potatoes and stir, just to coat. Then put all into the crockpot.

Cover and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours.

Notes:
* I did not use the cheese and followed the recipe otherwise.

Looking good, SewMom ... Will have to try them one of these times.
What consistency are they when made?
I am thinking the applecake is probably fairly dense?
And the pudding ... is it cake like as well? though with pudding in its name, I'm wondering?

sewmom

The apple cake is a little dense- with the extra apple it was like baked apples with a little cake around it. Very moist.the pumpkin one is pretty much like pie w/o the crust.

QuiltE

Thanks SewMom ... the pumpkin must be like the impossible pumpkin pie, that you oven bake. Anael and I both like apples and cinnamon, so I can almost guarantee the apple one will be made first!

Anael ... Wonder if you will beat me to it?
