I’ve been looking for new slow cooker recipes to try and found a recipe for Hobo Stew on Pinterest.   The original recipe called had a more tangy sauce (made with ketchup and vinegar) and I wanted something more hearty, so I made some substitutions.  The original recipe can be found here–> Hobo Stew

We served this with biscuits.  It was a hit with the whole family and one that will definitely be a “keeper” in your menu rotation!

Ingredients
  • 1 bag frozen meatballs (you could make them from scratch, but I’m all about convenience)

  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (I use the Yukon potatoes)
  • 1 can Golden Mushrooom soup
  • 1 can beef broth
  • 1 bag frozen peas

Instructions
  1. Place diced carrots and potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Place frozen meatballs on top.

slow-cooker-chicken-noodle-soupWhenever one of my kids gets sick, this is one of their top picks.  I have to admit that I love it when I’m sick, too!  It’s great because you can throw all of the ingredients in the slow cooker for the day and it basically cooks itself!  The last thing you want to do when you’re sick is have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so this is the perfect comfort food!

An easy, creamy slow cooker chicken noodle soup recipe!
Ingredients
  • 3 cans chicken broth
  • 3 cans cream of chicken soup (I use 98% fat free)
  • 3-4 frozen chicken breasts
  • 3 carrots, diced
  • 2-3 celery stalks, diced
  • parsley, to taste
  • onion powder (you could also use “real” onions, but I don’t like them, so we use the powder for flavor instead)
  • garlic powder, to taste
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • egg noodles (1/2 bag)

Instructions
  1. Place the frozen chicken breasts on the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Add the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and seasonings.
  3. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  4. About 30 minutes before you’re ready to eat, shred the chicken. You can either cook the noodles separately and then drain and add them to the slow cooker or you can add them to the slow cooker and cook everything on high for 20-30 minutes.

Slow Cooker Cube Steak and Gravy Recipe

October 23, 2012 by Leave a Comment

I’ve had a few different recipes for cube steak pinned on Pinterest for awhile and I’ve been wanting to try them.  It brings back memories of a recipe that my mom used to make when I was a kid using mushroom gravy and hamburger patties.  This recipe was a hit with my kids and with my husband, but I will say that the meat did dry out some after being in the slow cooker for so long (about 12 hours), so this is a recipe that I would say shouldn’t be left for more than 6-8 hours.

October 22, 2012 by 4 Comments

I first discovered baked potato soup when I was in college and one of my roommates made it for us.  I figured out a way to adapt her recipe so that I could make it in the slow cooker, and Slow Cooker Baked Potato Soup used to be a regular part of our menu rotation.  I realized as I was meal planning last month that it had been quite awhile since we had eaten it.  It’s easy to make an budget friendly, so I decided it was time to have it again!

Here’s the recipe:
