minutes.

APRICOT NUT BREAD
* 3/4 cup dried apricots
* 1 cup flour
* 2 tsp baking powder
* 1/4 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 3/4 cup milk
* 1 egg, slightly beaten
* 1 Tbsp grated orange peel
* 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
* 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
* 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
Place the apricots on a chopping block. Sprinkle 1 T flour over them. Dip a knife
into the flour and chop the apricots finely. Flour the knife often to keep the cut
up fruit from sticking together. Sift the remaining flour, baking powder, baking
Page Crockpot Recipes e 8 of 245
soda, salt and sugar into a large bowl. Combine the milk, egg, orange peel, and
oil. Stir the flour mixture and the whole wheat flour. Fold in the cut up apricots,
any flour left on the cutting block and the walnuts. Pour into a well greased,
floured baking unit. Cover and place on a rack in the slow cooker, but prop the lid
open a fraction with a toothpick or a twist of foil to let excess steam escape.
Cook on High for 4 to 6 hours. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
Now before you all ask what a baking unit is (I wondered as I sat and typed this
in), I looked it up in the front of the bread section. She says that some
manufacturers are making units for slow cookers, but if you don't have one, a 2
pound coffee can works. Pyrex muffin cups also work. Also 1, 1 1/2 and 2 quart
molds work.
DO NOT LIFT THE LID WHILE BAKING THIS BREAD.

length of time cooking will depend on how large a brisket you got.
When done, remove lid from CP and using two forks shred the brisket. Terrific
served on rolls or buns. It's also good served like tacos with all the trimmings in
soft or regular taco shells.

Combine ground beef, 1/2 cup onions, Italian bread crumbs, eggs. Make the mixture
into small meatballs. Then fry or bake the meat. In saucepan combine remaining
ingredients. Simmer for 15 minutes. Put meatballs and sauce into slow cooker/Crock
Pot. The sauce should cover the meat. Allow to simmer in slow cooker/Crock Pot for
at least 3 hours, however, the longer you let them simmer, the better they are! 6
to 10 hours on low temperature is great. Stir them occasionally. You may wish to
add more ketchup, or V-8 juice - spice them up if you like them hot.

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cocoa
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate mini-morsels
Combine crust ingredients and pat into a 7-inch springform pan.
Beat the cheeses with the sugar until smooth; add eggs and whipping cream and beat for about 3
minutes on medium speed of an electric hand-held mixer. Add amaretto, cocoa, flour and vanilla;
beat for about 1 more minute. Stir in semi-sweet chocolate morsels; pour into prepared pan. Place
the cheesecake on a rack in the Crock Pot (or use a "ring" of aluminum foil to keep it off the
bottom of the pot). Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Let stand in the covered pot (after
turning it off) for about 1 to 2 hours, until cool enough to handle. Cool thoroughly before removing
pan sides. Chill before serving; store leftovers in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE BROWNIE PUDDING CAKE
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup water
2 Tbsp cocoa
2 1/2 cups brownie mix (half of a 21.5oz pkg)
1 egg
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon soft margarine
1/4 cup water
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, if desired
Combine 3/4 cup water, brown sugar, and cocoa in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. In the meantime
combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk together or mix well with a spoon.
Spread the batter evenly in the bottom of a lightly buttered slow cooker/Crock Pot. Pour boiling
mixture over the batter. Cover and cook on high about 2 hours; turn heat off and let stand for
about 30 minutes. I made this in a 5-quart pot, but I'm sure it would be fine in a 3 1/2- quart (I'll
try that size next). Spoon into dessert dishes while warm; serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Serves 6 to 8.

1 8 oz brick of cream cheese, cut up in cubes
1/2 C chicken broth

Page Crockpot Recipes e 54 of 245

About 45 minutes before done, brown the onion in the butter and then add the cream
cheese, soup, and chicken broth to the saucepan. Add the crushed garlic and stir

CREAMY CHICKEN AND RICE
* chicken tenders (3 per person)
* cream of mushroom soup
(1 can for 2-3 people, 2 for 4-6)
* Mrs. Grass Onion Soup Mix (1 per each can of soup)
* 1Tbsp olive oil
* long grain brown rice (1 cup per can of soup)
* 1Tbsp whole thyme, crushed
* S&P to taste
* desired amount of broccoli florettes (optional)
* diced red pepper (optional)
When using brown rice, you need 2 1/4 cups liquid for each 1 cup rice. So I empty
my can of soup into a measuring cup, and add water (or white wine) to equal 2 1/2
(not a typo, you need the extra for the onion soup mix). Heat olive oil in a saute
pan, and add rice until it begins to crackle, but not brown. This will make the
rice dense, and help it keep it's shape while cooking. Whisk together the soups and
additional H2o, herbs and seasonings. Combine all ingredients (except veggies) in
crockpot, and cook on high 4-6 hours, or 8-10 hours on low. During last 30-45
minutes, add desired veggies.
Great with crusty bread, and a fresh salad.
