Crockpot - Lasagna

Crockpot Lasagna (posted by m3kp)

Combine 1 pound browned ground beef with 1 bottle spaghetti sauce (I use Prego - not the small bottle and not the Costco size) - set aside

Combine 1 pint of cottage cheese and 1 egg - mix until egg is totally mixed in - set aside

Combine 2-3 cups mozerella cheese and about 1/2 cup parmesean cheese - set aside

Spray crockpot with cooking spray.
Put 1/4 of the meat mixture on the bottom -
top with a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles (it takes 3 noodles for my crockpot) -
on top of the noodles spread 1/3 of the cottage cheese mix -
then layer another 1/4 of the meat mix and finally
top with 1/3 of the cheese mixture -
repeat 2 more times - noodles, cottage cheese, meat and then cheese.

Cover and cook on low - time will depend on your crockpot - my old one it was 7-8 hours. My newer crockpot (3 years old) cooks hotter and so it only takes 3-4.

Add a tossed salad and some garlic toast and quick easy dinner.

Chicken Salsa

(posted by mcteri123)

Brown some chicken breast on both sides, ( really any pieces of chicken are fine)
You can season with cummin if you have it and like it, other wise, salt and pepper will do.
Throw them in the crock pot, cover in a jar of your favorite salsa.

A few minutes before serving, mix in a small container of sour cream and some cheese, mix it, and there ya go. We serve it over rice and serve green beans and pineapple. It is one of my favorites!!

Southern BBQ Crockpot Chicken

Southern BBQ Crockpot Chicken

INGREDIENTS:

4-6 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 cups tomato ketchup (I use 1 28-oz bottle and then add a little water to get all the ketchup)
1/3 C brown sugar
2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoon ground red hot pepper flakes, or to taste (I do MORE)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or fresh garlic if you have it)

PREPARATION:

Combine all ingredients for the sauce in the slow cooker. Add the chicken, covering with sauce.

Cook on high 3-4 hours, or until chicken is fully cooked all the way through. Then shred or cut up the chicken, and replace it in the Barbecue sauce in the pot; mix it all up so all the pieces are coated.

Tres Leches Cake

1-½ cups All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
½ cup Unsalted butter
2 cups White sugar (divided)
5 Eggs
1-½ teaspoon Vanilla extract (divided)
1 cup Milk
½ of a 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
½ of a 12-ounce can Evaporated milk
1-½ cups Heavy (whipping) cream

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan. Sift flour and baking powder together and set aside. Cream the butter and 1 cup of the sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla. Beat well. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing well until blended. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes.

When cake has finished baking, pierce it in 8 or 10 places with a fork or skewer, and let it cool. Combine the whole milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk and pour over the top of the cooled cake. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Whipped Cream Topping: When ready to serve, combine the whipping cream and the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 cup of sugar, whipping until thick. Spread over top of cake. Because of the milk in the cake, it is very important that you keep the cake refrigerated until ready to serve.

Serve chilled.

Upholstery Cleaner

ALWAYS make sure your sofa is washable before doing this. It should say on the label. If it has no label then do a test in an unseen area. Check after a couple of hours for streaking or bleeding.

You need TWO buckets.

In the first mix:

1/2 C ammonia
1/2 C cleaning solvent (I use Afta - http://tinyurl.com/27cero )
1/2 C Spic & Span
1/2 gallon lukewarm water

In the second mix:

1 C white vinegar
1 gallon lukewarm water.

Using an old towel scrub upholstery with cleaning solvent solution, then rinse with another towel dipped in vinegar and water. Use a third towel to wipe as dry as possible.

Before you do this remove the cushion covers if they are removable. Wash them with warm water on a gentle cycle. Add 1/4 C vinegar to the rinse water to brighten the fabric. Put cushion covers back on WHILE THEY ARE STILL WET. Zip them up and pat them into shape. Let them dry standing on end against the couch. Stains can be removed as with other laundry stains.

Appliance Cleaner

2 T nonsudsy ammonia
1 t liquid dish soap
1 pint rubbing alcohol
1 gallon water

I add everything but the water to a gallon milk jug then fill it the rest of the way with water. I pour it into spray bottles and clean EVERYTHING with this stuff. It is a fabulous degreaser so is wonderful on the stove, etc. Enjoy! :)
