* This is so much fun I am adding some fun extras to my envie! No rules about giving extra, right?!
I am so excited about the cooler weather! I would love some new crockpot meal ideas. The recipes have to withstand being in an old, standard (no temp adjustment) crockpot for at least 10 hours before eaten!

I have the 2 each of the elusive Safeway "$70 in Savings" & "Summer Savings" books! (I bought so many Scrubbing Bubbles I think they thought they "owed" me!) LOL

Winner will be randomly picked on Friday, October 1st at 12pm PDT! Good Luck!

I way missed the scubbing bubbles deal - was it safeway?

Check out blog called crockpot 365 - she even got a book deal and she lets you know if the recipe is any good etc

I just did a roast on Monday - it was horrible! Meat was tuff.

My favorite is chili - and my secret is I use salsa not canned tomatos.

Here is my absolute favorite thing to cook in the crockpot:


Crockpot Stroganoff
1.5-2 lbs Beef stew meat
1 small onion, chopped
1 Can Cream of onion
1 Can Cream of Mushroom
8 oz. Cream cheese
8 oz. Sour cream
Egg noodles
~*~*~*~*~*~
Combine stew meat, soups and onion in crockpot and mix well until meat is coated. Cook on low 8-10 hours. Before serving, cut cream cheese into cubes, stir well. Add sour cream, mix well and let simmer till heated thoroughly. Serve over cooked egg noodles.

I use my crockpot for a lot of things, roast( mine are always fall off the bone tender- I always pour coffee over my roast to cook it in), spaghetti sauce, chilli, baked potato soup, ham and scalloped potatoes made right in the crockpot, BBQ pork or beef, Maid-Rites(crumbled up hamburger with french onion soup), nacho cheese(velveeta cheese with rotel tomatoes).

Honestly for really lazy days I like to put cut up chicken (like breast size or smaller) in the crockpot with an onion or two and I put a bunch of italian dressing in it. It smells super yummy and is so darn easy.

I Dont have safeway where I am , but wanted to share this with you guys. Its so easy and Good.

Crockpot Spicy Apple Betty
3 pounds of crisp cooking apples
10 slices of hearty bread, crusts cut off and then bread cubed1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch of salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
Wash the apples really well. You don’t need to peel them – I don’t. Cut each apple into eight wedges, and cut the core out. Of course, if you have one of those nice combination apple corer and cutter, that’s even better.
Put the apple slices into your crockpot. Then, in a separate bowl, combine the bread with all the other ingredients, tossing together so the spices and butter combine really well.
Spoon the mixture over the apples in the crockpot. Put the cover on. Turn crockpot to the LOW setting and let cook for 2 to 3 hours. The apples should be cooked but not turn into mush. This crockpot dessert is sort of like a combination Apple Brown Betty and Bread pudding. mmmmmm good with Ice Cream

Wow - great ideas, keep 'em coming!

I guess I should clarify - the coupon books were found AT Safeway, but the majority of the coupons are manufacturers coupons (and they don't have store specific logos)!

Yahoodles - this is fun!

Rinse chicken and sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place in crock pot.
Mix undiluted soup.
Pour over chicken in crock pot.

I threw a couple bags of Birds Eye Steamfresh rice in the micro for this.
