#N:uicsl:3800029:000:1291 uicsl!twt Jan 22 16:58:00 1984 How about some crock-pot recipes. I have 3 crock-pots, a 1.5 quart, a 3 quart and a 5 quart and I love to use them. I've even been known to have all three going at once. I like being able to throw everything in in the a.m., set a timer and have dinner ready when I get home from work/school/whatever. To start the ball rolling here's my favorite: CROCK-POT CHEESE SOUP 2 cans cream soup 1 tsp. worcestershire sauce 1 cup milk or beer 1/4 tsp. paprika 1 lb. cheddar cheese, cubed Croutons Crumbled bacon (optional) Put all ingredients in crock-pot except croutons and bacon. Cover and cook on Low 4 to 6 hours (High: 2 hours, stirring occasionally). Serve in warm bowls. Top with croutons and bacon. Recipe may be doubled for 5-quart model. HINTS: I usually use one can cheddar cheese soup and one can of another cream soup (asparagus is one of my favorites), and milk instead of beer. I also tend to make a double batch to have extras for lunch. Serve with a salad or rolls, though the soup makes a good meal all by itself. Also great with quiche. Mary
