I've never done lasagne in the crockpot either. Do you cook the noodles first, Jane? Do you start with the noodles (do they stick to the pot?) I'm thinking I'm going to have to try that one!
Start layering with the sauce. You don't have to cook the noodles first, I never do, even when I bake it in the regular oven.
Ok gals, Here are some recipes I found in the book called: The best slow cooker cookbook ever, I haven't tried them but they sound good. Bean and Sausage Soup 1 C. dried small white beans, rinsed drained and picked over 1 28 oz. can diced peeled tomatoes 2 14 oz. cans chicken broth 1 onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 10oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed but not drained 1 T. dried basil 1/2 t. ground pepper 1/2 lb. turkey sausages, halved lenghtwise and thinly sliced Season salt In a 4-5 qt. slow cooker, mix together the beans, tomatoes with their liquid, broth, onion garlic spinach, basil and pepper.

I was looking at crockpots today and found a good sized one for $20. I think that when I get my next check on the 11th I'm going to go buy one finally. All of these recipes have inspired me!
DizneeTeachR, Thank you for the recipies with the points. I am starting to do weight watchers again after a holiday break. I would love any other ones that you have.
Wow, these recipes sound wonderful. Especially since I had pretzels for dinner tonight. But, I survived the frozen chicken meal the other night - but it was awful. Does the rice always get really mushy in the crockpot? I put in rice, boneless frozen chicken breasts, can of mushrooms, can of cream of chicken soup. Yucky. I'll try some of the other ideas, though......
I always have a hard time with rice in crockpots. It always turns out mushy. Maybe there is a secret?

Chicken Cordon Bleu 4-6 chicken breasts (pounded out thin) • 4-6 pieces of ham • 4-6 slices of Swiss or mozzarella cheese • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (can use any cream soup) • 1/4 cup milk Put ham and cheese on chicken. Roll up and secure with a toothpick. Place chicken in the crockpot so it looks like a triangle /_\ Layer the rest on top. Mix soup with the milk; pour over top of chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until chicken is no longer pink. Serve over noodles with the sauce it makes. Teresa's Note: Its the best recipe I've tried so far, very flavorful. 5-6 pts. , depending on the size of the chicken breast. I used a 3 oz chicken breast (3 pts.) 96% fat free ham (.5 pts), 2% moz cheese (1 pt.). Then when you add the cream of mushroom soup (98% ff) and 1/4 c. milk (fat free) and divide by the 6 servings I had in the crockpot, I only came up with about 1 pt. for that (at most). Total = 5.5 pts. Does that sound about right. Hope Corn, Ham and Potato Scallop 6 Points Serving Size : 6 6 cups peeled baking potatoes -- cut in 1" cubes 1 1/2 cups cubed cooked ham 1 15.25oz. can Green Giant Whole Kernel Sweet Corn -- drained 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper 2 teaspoons instant minced onion 1 10 3/4oz.can condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup 1/2 cup milk 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour In 3 1/2 to 4-quart Crock-Pot slow cooker, combine potatoes, ham, corn, bell pepper and onion; mix well. 2.

Cover; cook on low setting for 7-9 hours or until potatoes are tender. Ingred. Info: Potatoes cook more quickly when cut into small pieces; cubed potatoes will cook faster than quartered potatoes. The 1-inch chunks of potato in our recipe work well as they do not get too soft during the long cooking time.

Cook 6 hours on low. Total recipe has 41 points. It is supposed to serve 6, but I usually find it serves 10, which makes it 4.1 points a serving. This tastes like a Mexican Lasagna to me. I take it to all our church suppers, by request, and it is always all eaten--even the pot is scraped. Check on this recipe the first time you make it--a friends' Crockpot has a higher "low" setting, and it doesn't need six hours to be done in her pot--gets too dry. My crackpot’s "low" setting is 225-250 degrees.

JWow, I didn't know you could cook spaghetti in there. Can it stay in all day? Okay, we need more recipes that don't have soup in them. Soups have way too much salt for me.

Oven-Roasted Potatoes 2lbs all-purpose potatoes, cut into large chunks 1/3 cup olive oil or vegetable oil 1 envelope Lipton Recipe Secrets Savory Herb with Garlic Soup Mix Preheat oven to 450-degrees.

Baked uncovered, stirring occasionally, 40 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and golden brown. Makes about 4 servings. ______ I used red-skinned potatoes, about 3lbs, peeled. Otherwise, I followed the same recipe. If you prefer, you can leave the skins on too. I coated the potatoes with the oil and sprinkled on the soup mix, then mixed completely. Cooked on low for about 6 hours. I used my 4 1/2-qt Crock Pot - one of the older ones. I know the newer ones cook hotter, so cooking time may depend on the model, and also on the size of the potato pieces.

Every time I see the title for this thread I think it says, 'Crackpot Meals'. Maybe ....... Diznee, do you really cook all these yummy recipes?
Diznee, have you tried Aimee's Adventures? She has a weight watcher's cookbook and has most of the recipes on her website. Some of the recipes you've posted sound like hers. She has some GREAT stuff on there.
Christy, I don't really do weight watchers...my mom did & shares good recipes w/us!!! Deedee...a yummy dessert that I believe is 1pt per slice 1 can crushed pineapple 1 angel food cake Mix pineapple, juice as well into angel food cake. Bake in cake pan as to directions on box. I usually bake about 30min. Top w.fat free cool whip.
DeeDee....have you ever made this ww recipe? (Not a crockpot meal, but fast & easy) 1 angel food cake mix 1 can blueberry pie filling Mix together in 9 X 13 cake pan & bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Top with ff whipped topping....it's delicious & only 1 or 2 points per piece.
No I havent tried either dishes ..but they sounds so good! My favorite WW recipe is for Coca cola chicken..its so good!!!
I got a recipe from a friend today, I can't wait to try it! Mexican Meatloaf! 2 1/2 lb ground beef 4 oz salsa 1 pkg taco seasoning 1 egg slightly beaten 1 C bread crumbs 12 oz shredded Mexican cheese (I'm going to put more...I'm a cheese hog!) 2 t salt 1/2 t pepper Combine all ingredients, except half of the taco seasoning. Mix well. Shape into loaf and place in slow cooker. Sprinkle with remaining taco seasoning. Cover. Cook on low 8-10 hours. I'm thinking a little salsa and cheese on the top would be great, and of course serve with hot tortillas.
I made a couple things in the crockpot this weekend and both were over done and dry. So it goes...back to the drawing board. I thought most things cooked on low took about 8 hours, but I guess not with pork chops and chicken breasts? Maybe my crockpot cooks hotter than some. NOt sure what I am making next. Christy , one time I made a meatloaf in the crockpot and it was really awful! Let me know how yours turns out. I'm a crock pot flunky!
Crock Pot Potatoes Has anyone ever tried to put sliced potatoes in the Crock Pot the night before? I did that one time, and in the morning they were BLACK! I couldn't even imagine trying to eat it, so I threw the whole thing out. Anyone have a way to keep this from happening?
Spaghetti sauce. I put in browned ground beef 1-2 pounds, large 15-16 ounce can of tomato sauce, Large 15-16 ounce can chopped tomatoes and a large can of tomato paste. Add garlic powder, italian seasonings, chives, whatever seasonings you like, stir, cover, set to low. It makes enough for my family of 7 AND I am able to freeze the leftover sauce for another meal.
Potatoes I had heard about putting them in water before, but was not sure if it would work. Thanks!!! I think I will try that dish again for tomorrow.
