Spicy Soup

1 pound ground beef
4 medium carrots -- scraped and cubed
4 cups potatoes -- peeled and cubed
1 small onion -- chopped
3 8 oz cans tomato sauce
4 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
1/2 - 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
I use 5 carrots. It normally takes 7 medium sized potatoes to make 4 cups.
Put hamburger in crock and place in microwave and cook on full power for about 4 minutes. Take crock out and mash up hamburger with potato masher (the old fashioned kind, not the newer round kind); put back in microwave and nuke for another 4 minutes, take out and repeat mashing process; return to microwave for another 2 minutes. I used hamburger that was 90% lean so there was really no fat to drain off. Put crock into the crockpot. Add carrots and potatoes. Put some of the water from the 4 cups in the blender and put the onion in there and chop it up; pour into crockpot. Pour in tomato sauce; use some of the remaining 4 cups of water to rinse out the cans and pour into soup. Add salt, pepper, and hot pepper sauce (I used 1 teaspoon of Louisiana Hot Sauce). Stir well. Turn crockpot on high and cook for about 3 hours on high. Reduce setting to low and cook for another 5 hours. Stir the soup often.


Slow Cooker Stuffing

1 cup onion -- finely chopped
1 cup celery -- finely chopped
1 can mushrooms -- (8 ounce) drained
1/4 cup parsley -- chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
12 cups toasted bread cubes
2 eggs -- well beaten
1 1/2 cups chicken bouillon
Melt butter in skillet. Add onion and celery and saute until tender. Stir in mushrooms and parsley. Combine seasonings and sprinkle over bread cubes. Add eggs, bouillon and onion mixture. Toss thoroughly until well combined. Spoon lightly into slow cooker. Cover and set on high for 1 hour, then reduce to low and cook for 1 to 2 hours. 22 bread slices (24 ounce loaf) cubed and toasted for 15 minutes in a 300 oven = 12 cups toasted bread cubes.

Crock Pot Stuffed Peppers

6 large Green Bell Peppers -- tall shapes
1 pound Ground Beef, extra lean
1 cup Rice -- uncooked
1 large Onion -- chopped
1 large Carrot -- shredded
1 teaspoon Beef Bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
1 can Condensed Tomato Soup
1 can Water
Cut the top off and remove seeds from green peppers. Wash and set aside. Combine ground beef, uncooked rice, onion, carrot, bouillon, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Any other seasonings that you like may also be used: oregano, parsley, garlic powder, etc. Stuff each pepper about 2/3 full (rice will need room to swell up). Stand the peppers side-by-side in the slow cooker.
In a small mixing bowl, combine tomato soup and water, and pour mixture over the peppers.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
To freeze for later use, place stuffed peppers & sauce into a container the same size or slightly smaller than your crockpot (such as a plastic ice cream bucket) and freeze. Remove from container and tightly wrap in foil, then label. Freeze up to 6 months. To use, place frozen mixture inside crock and thaw over night in refrigerator (this is easier if crock is removable, but can be done in whole unit if needed). Six hours before you need to serve your meal, place crock back into crockpot base, and set heat to low, then cook for six hours. DO NOT cook unthawed mixture in crockpot, as the extreme difference in temperatures may crack your crockery.
