2 lbs small red potatoes, quartered
8-oz pkg cream cheese, softened
10-3/4 oz can cream of potato soup
1 envelope dry Ranch dressing mix

Place potatoes in slow cooker.

Beat together cream cheese, soup, Ranch mix. Stir into potatoes.

Mary then added 1 cup sour cream, six slices pre-cooked bacon (chopped) and some grated cheese.

They were YUMMY!

Sprice brought Crockpot Chicken Salsa
3 chicken breast halves
3/4 cup salsa (give or take the amount)

Place chicken breasts in crockpot. Pour salsa over the chicken. Use enough to lightly cover each chicken breast. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.

In the crockpot, use two forks and shred chicken. Add cans of black beans and corn (as much as desired) and continue to cook.

Thirty minutes before serving add in the sour cream.

Serve as a taco filling with chips/tortillas/tostadas. Top with salsa, cabbage, cheese, etc.

Memory brought Corn Chowder and Banana Coconut Bread

DeeAnn
brought Crockpot Lasagna from Jessica Seinfeld.
The recipe was wrong so I am not going to even add it. But, it is great to know that you can assemble lasagna in a crockpot with uncooked noodles and they will cook beautifully. Give it a try.
