Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter
2 10.75-ounce cans condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 14-ounce can chicken broth
1 onion, finely diced
1 10-ounce package refrigerated biscuit dough

Place the chicken, butter, soup, broth and onion in slow cooker. Cover, and cook for 5 to 6 hours on high. One hour before serving, open biscuits. Roll each one to be about 1/4-inch thick and cut into 1/2-inch strips. Add to the slow cooker, laying on top of chicken and liquid. Overlapping strips of dough will occur. Continue cooking until the dough is no longer raw in the center, about 1 hour. Note: Dough will not cook into biscuits as you might think. It will become like traditional dumplings. Serves: 6 to 8.

3 Packet Roast
This one may sound weird to you – I wasn’t sure how it would be but it was the BEST roast I’ve ever had. We love it. It makes a fabulous brown gravy to serve with the meat and over mashed potatoes.

1 packet dry ranch dressing mix
1 packet dry Italian dressing mix
1 packet dry brown gravy mix
1 beef roast, any cut

Place the roast in the slow cooker. Sprinkle dry mixes over the roast. Pour 1 cup of water into bottom. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.

Barbecued Pulled-Pork Sandwiches
2 lb pork loin
1 onion, sliced
1 cup Coke (or Dr. Pepper or Pepsi)
1 cup BBQ sauce
8 hamburger buns

Combine soda and BBQ sauce in the slow cooker. Add pork and onion slices.
Cover and cook on high 5-6 hours or low 8-9 hours.
Drain and serve pulled pork on hamburger buns.

Lemon Poppyseed Chicken
2 lbs chicken breast, cooked and shredded
16 oz sour cream
2 cans cream of chicken soup
3 Tbs lemon juice
2 sleeves Ritz crackers, crushed
2 Tbs poppy seeds
2 sticks of melted butter

Combine chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup and lemon juice.
Spread into 9x13 pan.
Sprinkle with crackers and poppy seeds.
Drizzle butter over the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes

This recipe can easily be halved for couples or small families – I often do this and bake it in a 8 inch square pan.
