You are raising a family, chauffeuring your children here and there, keeping house and maybe even educating your children at home.  Crazy, but with everything going on, everyone still wants to eat! Gotta get the meal on the table, too. What you need are tools in your life that streamline your days and help you feed that family of yours. Enter the slow cooker! The crock pot is a servant of highest standing in our household.

 

I plan at least one recipe each week for the crockpot, sometimes more. It’s so easy to layer in the ingredients, place the lid and flip the switch. And don’t forget to plug it in – this is important, very important. Ask me how I know!

 

So back to my servant, the slow cooker. She’s always on stand-by, ready to work at a moment’s notice. While many recipes are terrific for cold winter days – soups and stews and other such comfort foods – the crock pot is also a handy helper all year round, even during the rush rush rush days of summer when we are running to the beach or sporting events, birthday parties and shopping sprees. It’s wonderful to come home after a busy day and enter to the aroma of dinner cooking.

 

A favorite recipe in our home is Cheesy Potatoes and Sausage. The ingredients are basic so we almost always have them on hand. This is also a recipe the children can easily prep and start up with little supervision. It’s filling and yummy – a win-win!

Step 1: Gather Ingredients.

  • 1 pound polish sausage, sliced
  • 8 medium red potatoes, diced
  • 1 to 2 cups cheese, shredded – colby jack, cheddar, american, etc.
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (or the equivalent if you make your own)
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt, pepper, seasonings to taste (garlic salt, onion powder, etc)

Step 2: Place sausages on bottom of crock. Spread as evenly as possible.

Step 4: Sprinkle healthy dose of seasonings over top of potatoes.

Step 5: Spread shredded cheese all over everything – yum! cheese makes everything better, don’t you think?

Step 6: Spread creamed soup all around and Pour 1 cup of milk over it all.

 

Step 7: Cover the crock, plug it in, set to Low. Cook 6 – 8 hours.  You can shorten cooking time to 4 – 6 hours if you use the high setting, and if you cut your potatoes into smaller pieces.

Step 8: Add your favorite sides and SERVE IT UP!

 

Variations on the theme:

  • Use breakfast sausage instead of polish sausage, or smoked sausages. Choose your favorite or be adventurous!
  • Peel potatoes if you prefer. They don’t have to be red – russet or gold or even blue!
  • Substitute frozen potatoes or hashbrowns – thaw a bit and cook for 4 hours on low.
  • Add more cheese! or substitute a can of cheddar cheese soup for a more creamy texture.
  • If mixture seems dry, add a little water or chicken broth or extra milk with the milk and soup step.
  • Add taco seasoning or italian seasoning for a more ethnic taste.
  • Add onions, peppers or other veggies for an all-in-one meal.
  • Unexpected company? Add more potatoes! increase the liquid a bit – easy to stretch this recipe.

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
