Crock Pot Broccoli Casserole

Crock Pot Broccoli Casserole

This crock pot broccoli casserole is by far my husbands favorite crock pot dish. He has actually come in form work and smelled it with his great sniffer, bypassed me and our dollbaby, dropped everything he had in his hands and muttered "B R O C C O L I C A S S E R O L E, mmmmm". What is that all about? Every time I make it he acts like a kid in a candy store. I suppose it's good that after this many years he still gets excited 'bout my cookin' (at least that's what I'm gonna keep telling myself). For a while I only made it on special occasions and holidays (which it's perfect for). He likes it so much, it was almost like punishment only doing it a handful of times a year. Now I make it about once a month and surprise him.

Here is how I do it:

-2 -10 ounce packages of frozen chopped broccoli, thawed

-1 -10.75 ounce can of cream of celery soup, condensed and undiluted

-1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

-¼ cup onion that has been grated

-1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce

-¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper

-1 sleeve Ritz™ crackers, crushed

-2 Tablespoons of butter

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the soup, worcestershire sauce, pepper and onion. Once thoroughly combined, add 1 cup of the shredded cheese and the broccoli. Pour the mixture into a well greased 3 quart slow cooker. Top the mixture with the crushed crackers and dot with butter. Cover and cook on low for 2½ - 3 hours. Ten - 20 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese evenly on top and place lid on top to melt the cheese.

Pork Loin with Bacon and Brown Sugar Glaze Crock Pot

Pork Loin with Bacon & Brown Sugar Glaze
1 boneless pork loin
4-6 slices of bacon
Rub ingredients: 1 tsp chili powder; ½ tsp paprika; 1 tsp salt; ½ tsp pepper;
½ tsp cumin; 1 tsp cinnamon; 1/4 tsp onion powder; 1/4 tsp garlic powder.

Glaze topping: 1 cup brown sugar, 2 TB flour, 2 TB cider vinegar & ½ tsp dry mustard

1. Mix all of the above ingredients (the rub) and rub all over pork loin (I usually use the huge boneless pork roasts on sale and cut them down to about 2 1/2 lb roasts).
2. Place pork loin in crock pot and add about 1/4-1/2 cup of chicken broth. Cut each strip of bacon in half and lay them over top of pork loin.
3. Cook on low about 8-10 hours (if starting frozen, wet the roast and then rub the roast with the mixture. Cook on high 1 hour and then switch to low, it should work out fine).
4. About 45 minutes before eating, combine brown sugar, flour, vinegar & dry mustard in sauce pan. Bring to a simmer for about 1 min. Spoon over pork (it is more on top of the bacon at this point) and cook for about 45 minutes until ready to serve. This is just a glaze to go on top of the meat.

Delicious! I serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables. I also use the liquid left over in the crock pot as a gravy. Just put the liquid in a saucepan, bring to boil and add a little corn starch mixed with water to thicken up.

Cheesy Chicken Crock Pot

Cheesy Chicken:Ingredients:
4-6 Boneless, skinless breasts
2 family size cans of Cambell's Cream of Chicken soup
2 pkgs. Philedelphia Cream Cheese
2 cups shredded cheese of your choice (I use cheddar)
Directions:Season your chicken according to your taste. I sprinkle with garlic and onion powder and a bit of salt. Open one can of soup, put in crock, open one pkg. of cream cheese, cut into cubes and put into crock. Place chicken on top. Open second can of soup, pour over chicken, open 2nd pkg. of cream cheese, cut into cubes and put into crock. Sprinkle shredded cheese in. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours stirring occasionally. Sometimes the cooking time will be shorter depending on the size of your crock. Check it occasionally for stirring and to keep an eye on the chicken, you will know when the chicken is done. It's delish with rice and I have even served it with mashed taters as well, the sauce makes an excellent gravy. It's a weekly demand in my house! I usually make Shoepeg corn and French style green beans to go with it.
