Baked Potato slow-cooker soup

I went to  Mama loves food to find this wonderful baked potato soup that
is made in the crock-pot the recipe she has there is quite a large one so
I suggest you down size it for your family. Its one of those fix it and
pretty much forget it kinda dinners.  It was easy and everyone
liked it!

Dump dinner

Ok this is my version of the Dump dinner that is going around, saw it on pinterest.
sorry we didn't take a picture but its real easy to do
Most of these amounts should be varied by how many your serving

dump a bag of frozen chicken in your crock-pot
dump in a bag of frozen corn
dump in a can of black beans
dump in 1-2 cups of salsa
dump in 1 can of cream of chicken soup(reduced fat) add 1tsp of cumin and 2 TBL
taco seasoning in the can and mix before you dump.
dump one 8oz cream cheese cubed

Let it cook on low all day or high half the day you can shred or chunk it
or leave the chicken whole

I made rice to go with it kind of a mexican rice
brown in olive oil-1/2 onion, 2 grated garlic cloves and I had green peppers and a
jalapeno I chopped and added them.  Add 1 1/2 cups of rice brown a little add 3 cups
of water I added 2TBL tomato paste simmer on low or till done.
You can serve with tortilla chips, tortilla's and a little cilantro.

Slow-Cooker Asian Pepper Steak

Easy and tasty

John and I thought it was really good and different.

Jess and Mia said uh..., it was ok.

The bean sprouts, cilantro and lime on top at the end is good, it needed a

little bit of a crunch. We put everything but the peppers in the crock pot at 11

before church. When we got home we added the peppers and cooked for a couple

hours more. Then our peppers weren't quite as soggy, I like mine a little more

tender crisp. Use brown rice to go with it.

We served it up with some steamed broccoli and I had a spaghetti squash to cook

which we had on the side. The next night I used the leftover spaghetti squash with a

new batch of the sauce from the baked shells recipe it was very good.

Anyways thats whats been for dinner at our house!

Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef sirloin
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch, for dusting meat
• 3 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons ginger, grated
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 3 red bell peppers, sliced
• 3 yellow bell peppers, sliced
• 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3/4 cup soy sauce
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 cups rice
• Topper:
• 2 cups bean sprouts
• 1 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
• 2 limes

Yields: Serves 6-8

Preparation

In a large skillet, sear the meat in some EVOO until nice and brown on both sides. Remove the steak to a cutting board and slice the steak into 1-inch thick strips.

Place the sliced steak into the crock-pot bowl, then dust the meat with cornstarch and mix the meat around until there is no more visible cornstarch.

Add the remaining ingredients except for the topper ingredients to the crock-pot, then place a lid on top and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.

When you are ready to serve, get a medium bowl, mix the topper ingredients and place a portion of the mixture on top of each portion of Asian Pepper Steak. This will add pop of freshness and texture.

Serve on top of cooked rice.
