It's CROCTOBER!

Something about October always has me 
making more dinners in the crock pot.

I think it's the whole desire for comfort food

 and good smells welcoming us when

 we walk in the door.

 Here are a few tried and true recipes. they
 can all be found on my recipe blog

Rita's Recipes, 

or you can just click on the

recipe names for a quick link-back.

 Re-invent your Thanksgiving leftovers with

Turkey Chili 

 I think beef cooks the best in a crock pot,

and I have a few favorites.

 The Easiest Ever Pot Roast starts with

onion soup mix and cream of mushroom soup.

Perfect with mashed potatoes.

I have several crock pots and still

 have the original orange Crock-Pot.

Beef Stroganoff gets it's creamy gravy 

from a little cream cheese added at the end.

Cubes of beef with mushrooms and onions 

served over rice or noodles. 

Another Savory Pot Roast with lots of rich
flavorful gravy. It used Ranch mix, gravy
 mix and Italian salad dressing mix. 

 My latest favorite is a keeper.

 Mock Sauerbraten

Served with spaetzle...

very Octoberfest!

The crock pot has become part of my fall decor.

 This recipe has the most page views of all
my blog posts.
