Ingredients:
2 packages of boneless pork chops (we had 7)
2 cans cream of chicken soup (I used fat free)
2 packets ranch dressing mix
(of course if you don't have a large family like ours you would only make half of this!)

Put 1/2 of pork chops in crock pot, pour 1 can of soup over top and sprinkle with one package of ranch dressing mix.  Repeat layers.  Cook on low for 6 hours.

This was served with mashed potatoes and corn.

Our Review:  This was really good.  The pork chops were so tender and tasty and the gravy that was made was great over mashed potatoes.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs. boneless chicken cut in 2 inch chunks
1/2 cup flour
olive oil, for browning the chicken
1 T kosher salt
6 oz. (1/2 can) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
3 T brown sugar
1 t balsamic vinegar
3 T ketchup

Dredge chicken pieces with the flour, shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a large skillet on the stove and brown the chicken on all sides. There is no need to fully cook it, just sear it enough for the flour to stick and get a nice coating.

Put chickent pieces into slow cooker. In small bowl, combine the orange juice concentrate, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt and ketchup. Taste, if you'd like the chicken to be a bit sweeter, add a touch more sugar. Pour sauce mixture evenly over the chicken, and toss gingerly to coat.

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4. Serve over white or brown rice.

Our Review: We did not care for this one. It was the first that I have tried that we felt was inedible. If you try it and it turns out good let me know so I can try again...maybe I did something wrong.

Crockpot Herbed Turkey Breast with Orange Sauce

This one came from http://theatoztwins.blogspot.com/

Crockpot Herbed Turkey Breast with Orange Sauce

Ingredients:
1 boneless skiness turkey breast (2-3 lbs) or 2 turkey tenderloins
1 large onion, chopped (I just sprinked on minced onion)
3 cloves garlic, minced (again used minced garlic)
1 t dried rosemary
1/2 t black pepper
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 cups orange juice

Toss onion into crockpot. Combine garlic, rosemary, pepper and salt in a bowl. Slice raw turkey 3/4 way throughat 2 inch intervals. Rub turkey with garlic mixture, make sure to get in between slices as much as you can. Place turkey in crockpot on top of the onion, sliced side up. Pour juice over the top. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

** I used a frozen turkey breast so I was unable to slice through it to put the spices on so I just put on the outside of breast.

We had this will stuffing (stove top), corn, mandarin oranges

Our Review: This turned out really good and tender. I think because I was unable to slice it as directed, mine didn't have really any of the orange juice taste but was still very good! Definately be making this one again.

Crockpot Roast

I do not care for the taste of pot roast so I wasn't sure if I would like this or not but I was very pleasantly surprised.

Crockpot Roast

Ingredients:
Beef Rump Roast

All I did was stick the thawed rump roast in the crockpot with just a tiny bit of water (I would not have put in the water if the roast had been frozen). Cook it on low for 6-8 hours. Remove from crockpot and shred with two forks.

Our Review: This had a great taste all by itself (Mike & I kept sampling it)...and I didn't add any seasonings! Half of the shredded beef was used for open face sandwiches with brown gravy poured over the top of bread, potatoes and beef. The other half has been frozen for bbq beef sandwiches at a later date.
