you are supposed to cook it on the stove or in the oven but I figured I would give it a whirl in the crock-pot...

OK, I read through this whole thread hoping to find out what #######-a-leekie pie is...could someone enlighten me?

Beef stroganoff sounds yummy...gotta look back in the other OT (sigh) and find Marilyn's recipe. I'm trying to cut and paste all these yummy recipes in a word doc so I don't have to hunt them down.

####### = chicken

Leekie = leeks

Basically a chicken pot pie made with leeks.

Yeah, uhhhhhh...... would you mind posting that when you're done, please?

Go with soup! There's nothing better than chicken soup when you've got a cold.

I think this is the one....

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 pound cubed beef stew meat

* 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed golden mushroom soup (I used just plain old cream of mushroom soup)

* 1/2 cup chopped onion

* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

* 1/4 cup water

* 1 or 2 tsps of soy sauce (this wasn't in the recipe but I added it)

* 1/2 to 1 garlic clove, chopped (this also wasn't in the recipe but I added it)

* 4 ounces cream cheese

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a slow cooker, combine the meat, soup, onion, Worcestershire sauce and water.

2. Cook on Low setting for 8 hours, or on High setting for about 5 hours. Stir in cream cheese just before serving. It might be kind of runny but once you add the cream cheese it thickens up a bit ...

*you might want to double the recipe YUM!!! YUM!!!!

I believe she also mentioned that she browned the beef a bit first.

yeah, or whatever noodles you have... you could also serve it with rice...

it is sooo yummy and the beef gets nice and tender

i haven't made it in awhile... might have to pick up the ingredients next time I go shopping...

this is another good recipe for the crock pot... this is one of the few recipes that my hubby even commented on the next day....

Crock-Pot Sweet and Sour Pork

* 1 1/2 to 2 pounds pork cubes

* 1 tablespoon cooking oil

* 1 cans (15 ounces) pineapple tidbits, drained but save juice...

* 1 small sweet green bell pepper, chopped

* 1/2 cup water

* 1/3 cup brown sugar

* 2 tablespoons ketchup

* 1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca *

* 3 teaspoons soy sauce

* 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

PREPARATION:

In skillet, brown pork cubes on both sides in hot oil. Drain off fat and transfer pork to a 3 1/2 to 5-quart crock-pot. In a bowl, combine pineapple juice, a few of the pineapple chunks, green pepper, water, brown sugar, ketchup, tapioca, soy sauce and dry mustard.

Pour over pork cubes. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours (or HIGH 4 to 5 hours). Towards the end of the cooking time add as much or as little of the leftover pineapple chunks as you want. Serve with hot cooked rice.

Serves 4-6.

* if you don't have tapioca, about an hour or so before it is done take a tablespoon or two of cornstarch and mix it with a bit of cold water and then stir into crock-pot...
