New Recipe Tuesday!

Well, between a lot of different things yesterday, I did not get the chance to post the new recipe for yesterday.  So, to make it up to all of you (LOL), I am going to share TWO new recipes this morning.  The first one we tried on Saturday and the second once was tried last night (hence the name new recipe Tuesday). 

Both of these recipes come from one of my favorite cookbooks!  It is my Fix-It and Forget-It Big Cookbook by Phyllis Pellman Good.  You can find out how to get your copy here!  It has 1400 slow cooker recipes!!  I love this series of cookbooks.  She even has a blog, which can be found here.  I even have the Christmas Fix-It and Forget-It (click here to see this one).  But enough about that for now!  Let's talk recipes!

Saturday's recipe was Creamy Sausage and Potatoes.  Oh My Goodness, it was so good!  You will need:

A 4-QT crockpot

This is my 6-qt but it has interchangable bowls --- LOVE IT!!

3 lbs. small potatoes, peeled and quarted

I used the variation of small red potatoes because honestly

I did not want to peel potatoes!

1 lb. smoked sausage, cut into 1/4-in slices

8-oz pkg. cream cheese, softened

10 3/4 oz can cream of celery soup

1 envelope dry ranch salad dressing mix

Place potatoes in slow cooker.  Add sausage.  In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, soup, and salad dressing mix until smooth.  (NOTE - first make sure your cream cheese is really good and soft.  Second - use a hand mixer instead of whisk to mix this together)  Pour mixture over potatoes and sausage.  Cover and cook on Low 6-8 hrs, or until the potatoes are tender, sitrring half-way through cooking time if you're home.  Stir again before serving.  And you will end up with this:



Now for the recipe for New Recipe Tuesday!  Yesterday, I broke out the old faithful crockpot again.  The recipe for yesterday was Tastes-Like-Turkey.  Now, I have to say this one surprised me.  It was very good especially since it has NO TURKEY what so ever in the recipe!  Okay, raise your hand if you just said, "What?!"  Read on my faithful friends!! (Sorry, forgot to take pics of this one.)

You will need:

A 4 or 5 QT crockpot

2 lbs hamburger, browned

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

2 103/4 oz cans cream of chicken soup

10 3/4 oz can cream of celery soup

4 scant cups milk (click here if you are like I was

and have no idea what this mean)

1 large pkg. bread stuffing or large loaf of bread, torn in pieces

Combine all ingredient in large buttered slow cooker (I used my 6-qt because

I thought my 4-qt looked to small).

Cover.  Cook on High 3 hours, or on Low 6-8 hours.



AND GUESS WHAT?!?!  It really did taste like TURKEY!!  It was very good and I will be making it again.

Have a great day everyone!!!
