3 smallish potatoes - cubed

lots of ground black pepper (at least a tablespoon)
Is that 2 cups of bullion cubes? that seems like a lot of bullion... or am I reading it wrong?

Here's one I just found, i wish I could find organic soups to cook with, I have only seen cream of mushroom. If anyone has any place i would happily order through the mail to not have to get regular with all the fake stuff. I have made hte spanish rice and the rice and chicken with cream soups.

Does anyone have a recipe for slow-cooker scalloped potatoes and ham? I was going to take a chance and just put my regular oven recipe for it, into the slow cooker, but then I read the manual where it talked about adapting recipes, and it said to add milk during the last hour. I don't think that would work for this recipe. Oh, and I'm trying to avoid the recipes that call for "cream-of-whatever."

TIA!

Vegetarian slow-cooker chili

1 28oz can diced tomatoes
1 6oz can tomato paste
1 large onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 cup TVP (texured vegetable protein)
1 cup water
2 T chili powder
2 t cumin
1 t oregano
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 shakes red pepper flakes
1 can red kidney beans, drained & rinsed

Put all ingredients in slow cooker and stir. Let cook on low for about 8 hours. Serve with shredded cheddar cheese if desired.

Crock-Pot Rice Pudding

1 cup Arborio rice
1 c heavy cream
5 c milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 cup raisins
2 tsp. vanilla
cinnamon for topping
In the crock pot, combine the rice, milk, sugar and butter. Cook on low setting for 5 to 6 hours. Stir in the raisins and vanilla after you turn off the heat. Transfer to a bowl (or bowls) and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Don’t worry if it seems a bit runny, it will thicken up nicely as it chills.

I'm a "cook off the top of my head" gal, so the amounts below are not really specified. Don't let this deter you, however - - it is an absolutely delicious concoction! Here goes:

Manhattan Clam Clowder

Toss into crockpot:
A whole mess of red-skinned potatoes, cut into bite sized pieces
Carrots, sliced
Onions, diced
Celery, sliced
2 bottles of Snow's Clam juice
28 oz can of fresh diced tomatos
Sherry
Few drops of tabasco sauce

And let it simmer on low for about 8 hours, or on high for about 3. I often do this in the morning before work, then when I come home I add:

Clams (I am able to buy a container these at our local supermarket, fresh frozen, minced)
A handful of minced parsley
salt and pepper to taste (at this time, adjust seasonings - I usually dump in a bit more sherry, or a splash of rum, too)

Let the clams simmer in the soup for about 20 minutes, then the whole shebang is ready. It's awesome with crusty bread and a sprinkling of feta cheese, and gets better the more it sits around.

I have totally loved this thread. SO far I have made the Chicken Curry, it was AWESOME! And I am making the SPlit pea/potato soup this week and the Veg. Black Beans.

I copied down several more on top of that. Thanks Ladies~!

I just layer thinly-sliced potatoes and onions, cubed ham, and a cheese sauce (homemade, make a bechamel and then add shredded cheddar cheese and a squirt of dijon mustard) and let it cook until the potatoes are tender. You could do it w/o the cheese, of course.

HTH.

Thanks, VK, for the recipe. I wasn't familiar with a bechamel so I googled it. I will give it a try. Dijon mustard in there sounds great, too.

Everyone: I just found an index of 1400 slow cooker recipes! Wow!
