8oz macaroni or med shells, cooked al dente and drained
12oz can of evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups milk
4 cups grated cheddar cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Cook noodles and drain, combine all ingredients, reserving 1 cup of cheese and pour into crock pot that has been well greased. sprinkle remaining cheese on top and cook on low 4-5 hours or until sides are golden. DO NOT STIR while it is cooking.
What I did different: I always end up doubling this because it gets made when we have company.

Potato Spinach Soup
4 medium potatoes, peeled & diced
1 onion, chopped finely
1 cup chopped ham
4 cups chicken broth
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp salt
pepper to taste
1 package (10oz) frozen spinach, thawed & squeezed dry
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
Combine first 7 ingredients in crock pot, cover and cook on low 7-8 hours, until potatoes are tender. Add spinach and continue cooking on high for 15-20 min. Serve with cheese sprinkled on top.
What I did different: I used about 5 medium potatoes, 2 cups ham, maybe 2 cups cheese. I add the cheese when I add the spinach, we like it all melty. It is sooo good on top of home-made bread or even bread dipped into it.

Southwest Chicken
2-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped to bite size
8oz cream cheese
1-2 cans of beans, undrained (kidney, black, pinto, chili, whatever)
1 can of corn
1 jar of salsa
Place chicken into crockpot, add beans, corn and salsa. Cook on low 7-8 hours. About 30min prior to serving add the cream cheese, mix well, cover and contiune to cook.
What I did different: I used 2 cans of beans and 4 chicken breasts. I didn't drain the corn or beans. We serve this with rice or rice and burrito style.

Honey Cinnamon Chicken
boneless skinless chicken breasts
honey
ground cinnamon
tin foil
Tear off squares of tin foil to fit 1 piece of chicken, place chicken on tin foil sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey. Fold tin foil into a pocket around the chicken and place pockets on a cookie sheet. Bake on 345* for 45min.
What I did different: When tearing the tin foil I find it easier to get the right size if I lay it out and place the chicken on it and use scissors to cut. From the altitude difference I always cook my chicken on 400* for about an hour. Changing the time or temp on most recipes never hurts.

Baked Pork chops over Rice
1 medium onion, chopped
2-3 ribs celery, chopped
1 tbs oil
2 1/2 cups water
2 tbs pork base (or 1 tbs chicken bouillon & 1 tbs beef bouillon)
1 small can mushrooms (4-6oz)
1 cup rice
4 pork chops
Saute onion and celery in oil. Place rice in greased 2 qt baking dish. Empty mushrooms and the liquid over rice. Spread sauteed vegetables over rice. Brown pork chops in same pan used for vegetables. Meanwhile, heat water in small sauce pan and add base, or substitute chicken broth for water and bases. Place pork chops over rice, pour boiling broth over all. Cover with foil, bake 350* for 30-45min or till rice and meat are cooked.
What I did different: I used the chicken broth instead of water and bases. I use a 3-4qt baking dish depending on pork chop size, and sometimes I have to cut them in half to make them all fit.

Italian Beef on Rolls
1 Beef sirloin top roast (2lbs)
1 can Diced tomatoes, undrained
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup water
1 tbs sesame seeds
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp fennel seed, crushed
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
8 rolls
Place roast in crock pot. In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, green pepper, water, and seasonings; pour over roast. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until meat is tender. Remove roast place in large bowl and shred. Skim the fat from cooking juices, add the rest of the juices to the bowl with the roast, mix. Serve on rolls.
What I did different: I didn't have the sesame seeds or the fennel seed. In a bowl put the diced tomatoes, green pepper, salt, pepper, garlic powder, water, and half a packet of Au Jus mix, mixed that all up and poured over roast. I didn't have rolls so I used sesame seed buns.
