Crock Pot Turkey Potato Dinner

1 pound ground turkey

5 cups raw sliced potatoes

1 onion, sliced

1/2 tsp salt

14 1/2 ounce can green beans, undrained

10 3/4 ounce can cream of chicken soup

Crumble uncooked turkey into crock pot. Add potatoes, onions, salt and beans in layers in crock pot. Pour soup over top. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.

 Overall, this was pretty good. It didn't look so good, but we really liked it. I think maybe a can of cheddar cheese soup or some shredded cheese might of been good too.

Crock Pot Zesty Italian Chicken

Here's another crock pot meal from the library book.

2-3 lb chicken breasts

16 ounce bottle of italian dressing

1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Place chicken in crock pot. Pour dressing over top. Stir together gently. Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low 8 hours.

It was pretty good. It was kind of plain, so definitely serve it over rice or noodles. 

Crock Pot Greek Chicken

This is another recipe from the library cookbook.

6 medium potatoes, quartered

3 lb chicken pieces, skinless

2 large onions, quartered

1 whole bulb garlic, minced

1/2 cup water

3 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tbsp olive oil

Place potatoes in crock pot. Add chicken, onion, and garlic. In small bowl, mix water, oregano, salt & pepper. Pour into crock pot. Top with olive oil. Cover and cook on low 9-10 hours or high 5-6 hours.

This was pretty good, but could of used something more. Maybe some veggies mixed in would of helped it.

No Bake Nutella Cheesecake

I love me some cheesecake and some nutella, so what's better than combining the two of them?! This is quick to put together and so yummy!!

12 Oreo Cookies, crushed into crumbs

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

2/3 cup Nutella

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 (8 ounce) tub frozen whipped topping, thawed

Mix oreos and butter. Press into bottom of pie pan or individual dishes. 

Mix cream cheese and nutella with electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed. Mix in vanilla. Using a spoon or rubber spatula mix in whip cream until it's all mixed in. 

Pour over top of oreo crust. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. 

Ranch Burgers

I have started going through my recipe box recipes instead of my pinterest board for this month. This recipe sounded delicious and is a great summer recipe because it's for the grill.

2lbs ground beef

1 packet ranch mix

1 egg, lightly beaten

3/4 cup crushed saltine crackers

In a bowl, mix all ingredients. Form into hamburger patties. Place patties on grill and cook to your liking.

Oh my gosh, these were awesome. Mike said they were the best burgers ever so that's saying a lot. We will definitely be making burgers this way every time from now on. 

Tiffany Punch

I normally make food recipes, but have decided to mix it up a little and start trying out some of the drinks I have pinned on Pinterest. This recipe is only 2 ingredients and is a great summer time drink.

All you need is powdered country time lemonade, and blue hawaiian punch. Prepare lemonade as instructed on container, Mix 1 part lemonade and one part hawaiian punch.

I made 3 cups lemonade and 3 cups hawaiian punch. The original recipe says it tastes like a jolly rancher. To me, it just tastes like lemonade, maybe I need a little more punch. It's still really good though! 

Crock Pot Rocky Road Cake - Spring Pinterest Challenge Time

It's Pinterest Challenge Time!! If you remember back almost a year ago when I shared the Cinnamon Roll Waffles I explained the pinterest challenge that Young House Love and Bower Power Blog do several times a year. It's not really affiliated with pinterest, its just a way for them to share one thing they actually have pinned and done and allows their readers to share their creations too.  This time I decided to make Rocky Road Cake in the crock pot. O.M.G! It's amazing!!

1 (18.25-oz.) package devil's food cake mix 

1 (3.9-oz.) package vanilla instant pudding mix

3 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup sour cream

1/3 cup butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 1/4 cups milk, divided

1 (3.4-oz.) package chocolate instant pudding mix 

1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows

1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels

Beat cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, butter, vanilla extract and 1 1/4 cup milk together with electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into lightly greased crock pot.

Mix chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups milk together. Pour on top of mix in the crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 3 1/2 hours. Pour marshmallows and chocolate chips on top. Cover and serve once they're melted.

 

It was delicious! We actually left the house while it was cooking and we ended up being gone for longer than planned so my cake cooked for 5 hours on low and it still came out fine. Just like with any recipe it just depends on your crock pot and how quickly it cooks stuff.
