Let me see....I do make a pretty good Potato Soup in a crock pot so here goes....

" Darn Tootin' Tato Soup"
    Serves 5-6

1 5lb. Bag of Red Potatoes ( or whatever potatoes you prefer)
1 diced yellow onion ( or a package of lipton onion soup but real onion is best)
2 cans evaporated milk
1 bag shredded cheddar cheese ( mild or sharp....personal preference)
2 cans cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chix or celery....personal preference)
1 container of sour cream ( at least 8 oz container)
1 rotisserie chix ( just need a cup or two of meat...dice into small bites).....i have also used ham or little smokies....add as much or as little meat as you like)
1 can corn...drain
garlic powder, italian seasoning,salt and pepper ( to taste....few shakes)
******
1. Cut up about 5 big potatoes (more or less....depends on how much broth you want....(I like alot of potatoes so I cut them up til there are plenty per spoonful when I am stirring the soup)....Cut into small hunks....I don't usually peel the skin off with red potatoes but with other potatoes I probably would

2. Cook potatoes in the microwave by putting them on a plate with a little bit of water in bottom of plate and cooking them on high for about 10 min.....done when knife can be inserted in middle easily....this step can be done prior to cutting if prefer....also the side in the water may become wrinkly....not a big deal...don't worry....if you have lots of time you don't have to microwave the potatoes but it ensures they are soft if you are pushed for time

3. Put potatoes in crockpot and then add the remaining ingredients except for the sour cream and cheese.....You can also add a can of water to your evap milk if you want more broth....sometimes I add milk towards the end if I want more broth

4. Let cook for 4 hours on high or 8 on low and towards dinner time I taste it and see what I think and season accordingly.....then at dinner I add a good size dollop of sour cream into each soup bowl and I sprinkle some cheese on top

5. Weight Watchers meeting will have to wait til tomorrow! Load up on Seconds! 8)

Serving suggestions : Serve hot fresh bread or salad or both! This soup is pretty filling thanks to the potatoes and meat and corn!

They all sound yummy.  Thanks for all of your recipes.  😛

Ranch pork and potatoes

This is so easy and yummy even our picky kids eat the pork.

  3-4 lb pork shoulder; remove bone and trim fat off.
  3 lbs red potaoes halved
  1 packet of ranch dressing mix
  1 pkg cream cheese softened
  1 can cream of celery or cream of chicken soup.

Brown pork on all sides over medium heat. Wash and cut potatoes, place in bottom of crock pot. Place browned pork on top. In a bowl mix soup, cream cheese and dressing mix then pour over meat and potatoes. Cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 5-6 hours. Check meat in the last hour and turn off when meat is tender to your liking. I remove meat to a plate and potatoes to a bowl and pour sauce mixture into a pitcher for those who want. You can adjust more meat and potatoes depending on number serving, there is plenty of sauce.

Crock pot lasagna!

  This is a great way to have lasagna while camping and not needing a oven.

1-2 lbs italian sausage ( I use links and just remove from casing)
24 oz jar favorite pasta sauce
Small container ricotta cheese ( I think its 14 oz)
1 pkg shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup water
1 pkg no boil lasagna noodles

Brown sausage over medium heat (this can be done at home ahead of time and brought with you). Mix sausage, sauce and water in a bowl. place some of the meat mix in bottom of crock pot. Then layer with noodles, next ricotta, then cheese, then meat mix. Next noodles, ricotta, cheese, meat mix. Do this for 3-4 layers depending on size of crock pot. Cook on low for 3-4 hours and on high for 2-3 hours. 15 minutes before serving sprinkle a little cheese on top.
