Hash

Hash

6 slices leftover roast (I make my roast in the crockpot with a can of cream of mushroom soup and a pkg. of onion soup mix and enough water to cover the roast; makes amazing gravy without any work!)

3 or 4 Tbsp. roast gravy

4 baked potatoes, cubedcarrots, cubed , optional

3 or 4 shakes of dried, minced onionsolive oil or canola oil

ketchup

Heat oil in large skillet. Slice roast and cube. Place cubed roast and potatoes and carrots into hot skillet. Add roast gravy and onions. Cook until warm and serve with ketchup. Also can warm hash without gravy and warm gravy seperately serve over toast. Can also substitute brown gravy mix for roast gravy if you make your roast in the oven. The crockpot makes its own gravy.

Italian sandwiches

salt and pepper to taste
little bit of garlic salt.

Mix all together, set aside.

2 Crescent roll cans (I use the butter and flaky ones)Roll out dough so 2 triangles form one rectangle, stretch and push seam together. Place a spoon full of the chicken mixture in the middle and bring four corners up around it and twist top to secure. If you want you can add some butter on top . Gravy is one can of cream of chicken or mushroom and I add milk and salt and pepper. Put Crescent roll chicken on top of a plate of rice and cover in gravy!

Mexican chicken filling

I use this for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, anything! Best of all, you just throw it all in the crockpot and 6-8 hrs. later all you have to do is warm tortillas and place toppings on the table! *Love* my slow cooker!

2 lbs. chicken breasts or thighs, or combo

1 cup (I use On the Border) mild Salsa

1/2 can Old El Paso Green Chilli Enchilada Sauce

Salt, Pepper, (dash of these)

1 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. cumin

1 lime cut in half, (remove lime with slotted spoon before serving)

*Place chicken in slow cooker. Combine all ingredients and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hrs. or on high for 4 & 1/2 hrs. Serve warm with flour tortillas, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa and limes.
