*Crockpot ideas*
If fixing a roast take the desired size and put in crockpot,
Put water over it, then add mushroom soup. Let cook over night.
Or until tender, you will have the roast and the gravy all
Together. If you like you can wait until the roast is almost done
To add the cream of mushroom soup.
PLEASE ONLY USE CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP.

BBQ Porkroast sandwiches:
What you will need:
1 5-7 pound pork roast
1 jar of BBQ sauce or homemade
1 cut up onion
Put the pork roast into the crock pot, with about 2 cups of water
and the onion. You may need to add more water if the roast is
lean. Let the roast cook for about 4-5 hours, or until it is falling
apart. Then let it cool, in the refrigerator, I put the whole crock pot
in there. Then I like to remove anything other then the meat, fat or
bones, etc. And then shred the meat until its in at least bite size chunks,
cut up the onion too or you can chop another one up, that way they will
be crisper. Wash out the crock pot and put the meat back into it with
the BBQ sauce. Then you can let it stay warm in the crock pot until
serving it. Then just load up the bun with it.
*TIP: We serve this with fries, and our snicker salad (recipe to follow).

Crockpot Spaghetti
*Decide for yourself how much you need to feed your family as far
as whether you like a lot of meat or meatballs or such.
Brown ground meat with diced onions and some garlic in a skillet.
Drain well
In the crockpot pour in a semi thick layer of sauce (enough to cover
the bottom) Add a layer of dry noodles (I break mine in half) The
first layer I lay one way and the next the opposite.
Spoon in a layer of meat or meatballs. Repeat the layers until you
have put in all your ingredients. The top layer should be sauce. I
usually rinse out my jar of sauce with warm or hot water and add it
last also. Do not use too much water that it will make the sauce soupy.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours and never need to stir. By putting the sauce
next to the noodles is helps them to cook and by putting the meat layer
on top of that it allows the sauce from the higher layers to trickle down.
Serve with garlic rolls and a tossed salad. :)

BAJA LASAGNA
What you will need:
1/2 Cup chopped onion
2 C chp or canned tomatoes
2 C kidney or pinto beans
2 C mushrooms
1/2 C chiles (use taco sauce or salsa)
1/4-1/2 tsp gr cumin
8 corn tortilla cut into 1" strips
8 oz. or 2 C shred. lowfat Cheddar
1 C. sour cream
Saute onions, add tomatoes, beans, chiles. Saute or simmer 15 min. In
Pyrex loaf dish alternate layers of tortillas, sauce, cheese, etc.
Top with a little cheese and a few dollops of (reg.) sour
cream. Bake 350* 30 min. Makes enough for one good meal for
2 adults and 2 small children-if they'll eat it.
**My comments: This is a Richard Simmons recipe that I hastily copied from a
TV show. No matter what you do to this recipe it comes out good. Either
corn or flour tortillas are fine, don't bother cutting into strips, just to
the size of your baking dish. The low-fat ones get mushy. I skip the
chiles, too expensive, hot for the kids and I always have salsa or sauce to
use up. Use all the tomato juices or it'll come out dry on top- push the
tortillas into the sauce or cover loosely. Sometimes I double the sauce
and save extra for tacos or omelettes. I use fat-free sour cream but add it
the last few minutes of baking or it bakes like merangue.

Boston Baked Bean Pot
Makes 8-10 servings
What you will need:
1 (16 ounce) package dried Great Northern or small white beans, rinsed and
picked over
8 cups very hot water
1/3 cup dark run
1/2 cup molasses
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 pound salt pork, rind removed, pork chopped
Salt
In a large pot or saucepan, combine the beans and 6 cups of the hot
water. Heat to boiling on top of the stove over high heat. Reduce the heat
to medium and cook 10 minutes: drain.
Add the beans to a 3 1/2 quart electric slow cooker. Add the
remaining 2 cups hot water, the rum, molasses, brown sugar, mustard, onion,
pepper, and the salt pork. Mix well.
Cover and cook on the high heat setting 5 to 6 hours, or until the
beans are tender. Season with salt to taste and serve.
*TIPS
*1/3 cup of rum can be replaced with more molasses.
* I don't chop the salt pork I slice it down to the rind and keep it in one
piece and remove before serving.
* Keep a good eye on it during the last hour or so. You may need to add an
additional 1/2 cup of water to keep it from burning.
