Crockpot ideas

I am starting to teach piano lessons again. I have mixed feelings...but I need to help where I can. My time for cooking is going to be sparse! Do any of you have any good crock pot recipes that you like? Any other quick meal ideas would be appreciated!

Pot of S'mores

Prep Time: about 25 minutes
Makes: 12 Servings

You'll Need:
-1 pkg. (14 1/2 oz.) whole graham crackers, crushed
-1/2 c. butter
-1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
-2 c. (12. oz) milk chocolate chips
-1 c. butterscotch chips (we actually used peanut butter chips instead)
-2 c. mini marshmallows

Prepare grill or campfire for low heat, using 16-18 charcoal briquettes or large wood chips

Line dutch oven with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Combine cracker crumbs and butter; press into bottom of dutch oven. Pour milk over crust and sprinkle with chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Top with marshmallows and cover dutch oven.

When briquettes are covered with white ash, place oven directly on top of 6 and put remaining on top. Cook for 15 minutes or until chips are melted.


-This was way good but extremely rich! make sure you have some milk to drink with it!
enjoy! we sure did!

Baked Chicken Taquitos

Hey guys! It's Marlee :) I tried this recipe a couple of days ago and I LOVED it!! This recipe is so good!

Baked Chicken Taquitos
(Makes 10-12 Taquitos)

Ingredients:
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 c. green salsa
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, which is about half a lrg. lime (this is key!! FRESH! it's way better!)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 2 c. shredded cheese
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- Small yellow/white corn tortillas (I would recommend really fresh, moist ones... the ones I used cracked a lot!)
- cooking spray

*Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and coat with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir to combine and then add cilantro. Add chicken and cheese.

Working with a few tortillas at a time, place 2-3 torillas between damp paper towels and microwave for about 30 seconds or until tortillas are soft enough that the wont crack. Place 1 tablespoon of chicken mixture on lower third of soft tortilla. keeping it 1/2" from the edges, the roll tightly. Place them seam down on baking sheet (be quick or tortillas will crack on the baking sheet). Spray with cooking spray and coat lightly with salt.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp. Serve imediatly with dips of your choice (we just used sour cream and some of the left over green salsa! it was so good!)

So there ya go! :) If you try it I hope you like it! :)
