SLOW-COOKER SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE

1 pound ground beef chuck

1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes

2 carrots, finely chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

1 celery stalk, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1/4 cup tomato paste

1/4 cup dry white or red wine

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 bay leaf

Kosher salt and black pepper

3/4 pound spaghetti

Grated Parmesan, for serving

In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, mix together the beef, tomatoes and their juices, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, tomato paste, wine, oregano, thyme, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender and the meat is cooked through, on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours (this will shorten total recipe time). Twenty minutes before serving, cook the spaghetti according to the package directions; drain and return it to the pot. Toss the spaghetti with the Bolognese and sprinkle it with the Parmesan. Serves 4.

Slow-Cooker Molten Chocolate Lava Cake (This Chick Cooks Blog)
serves about 6 people

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 tablespoons butter
2 ounces semisweet chocolate (or 1/3 cup chocolate chips)
1 cup sugar (2/3 cup & 1/3 cup, added separately)
3 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1 egg yolk
1/3 cup brown sugar
11/2 cups hot water

Coat the inside of a 2.5 to 5 quart crock with cooking spray. Mix the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave. Mix well. Stir in the 2/3 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of cocoa, vanilla extract, salt, milk, and egg yolk. Add the flour mixture and stir until well combined. Spread the batter in the slow cooker.

Now mix the remaining sugar, cocoa, and hot water until the sugar is dissolved. I just stuck the sugar and water in the microwave for a minute or two and then added the cocoa. I used the same bowl from earlier. Less dishes :) Pour the water mixture over your batter in the crock pot.

Cook on high for 1-2 hours. You will know when the cake is done because it will be pulling away from the edges and it will look mostly set (cooked). It will still be floating on its chocolate sauce. When you check the cake try not to let the moisture from the lid drip on it.

Once the cake is done turn off the crock, remove the lid, and let it sit for 25 minutes before serving. Serve it up with some whipped cream or ice cream. It is excellent with fresh berries on top too.

since we are talking superbowl recipes this is one my husband always asks for we both love it. Great for cold weather. Black Bean Creole Ingredients 3 pounds smoked sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces 5 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, partially drained 1-1/2 cups onions, chopped 1-1/2 cups green pepper, chopped 1-1/2 cups celery, chopped 4 cloves garlic, chopped 2 teaspoons leaf thyme 1-1/2 teaspoons leaf oregano 1-1/2 teaspoons black pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 chicken bouillon cube 5 bay leaves 8 ounces tomato sauce 1 cup water Instructions Combine all ingredients in a crockpot. Cover and cook on low 8 hours or high 4 hours. Remove bay leaves. Serve with corn chips, cheese and sour cream. Or over cooked rice. I like mine with blue corn tortilla chips crumbled on top and some grated colby jack cheese. This recipe makes plenty to share! (I have also added shredded cooked rotisserie chicken to this along with sausage and it is good)

My adult kids and I love this stuff! DH doesn't like it of course, he is the fussiest butt I have ever seen. Its fairly quick for lunch if you thaw the dough in the morning. Ham and Swiss Stromboli 1 loaf of thawed frozen bread dough 6 oz deli sliced ham, diced 6 green onions,sliced (I don't use them) 8 bacon strips,cooked and crumbled (I use Oscar Meyer bacon bits) 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (I use 6oz slices and dice it up) Roll out dough on a greased baking sheet. Place ham over dough to within 1/2 inch of edges;sprinkle evenly with onions,bacon and cheese. Roll up jelly roll style,starting with long side. Pinch seams well to seal and tuck ends under. Place seam side down on baking sheet. With a sharp knife, cut several 1/4 inch deep slits on top of loaf. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees or til golden brown. Cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.

Well, Jasdip, we did it again. LOL! We were a minute apart today! I'm moving my post over here to yours. This is the potato recipe I'm making for lunch. Some people made it with cheddar and had great results, so I think it's more the method of cooking them than the recipe. POTATOES AU GRATIN WITH GRUYERE (Serves 10) 2 1/2 cup(s) half-and-half or light cream 1/3 teaspoon(s) ground redÃ¯Â¿Â¼ pepper (cayenne) 1 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt 3 3/4 pound(s) (3 medium) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced 7 1/2 ounce(s) Gruyere cheese, shredded (3/4 cup) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In 3-quart saucepan, combine half-and-half, ground red pepper, and salt; heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until half-and-half mixture thickens slightly, stirring gently with heat-safe spatula. Transfer half of potato mixture to greased casserole; sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup Gruyere. Top with remaining potato mixture and remaining Gruyere. Bake gratin 35 to 40 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender and top is golden.

Harry loves chicken divan and your recipe sounds much easier, Jasdip. I'll give it a try. Last night we were supposed to have fish and chips. I made cole slaw in the morning and when I was cleaning up the kitchen, the sink stopped up. Grrr! Here's what would've been! BATTER DIPPED FISH (Closet Cook) 1 bottle beer 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 large egg (lightly beaten) 1 pound cod fillets (or halibut, or haddock, etc., cut into serving sized pieces) salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup flour oil for frying 1. Mix the beer, flour, baking powder, salt and egg into a batter in a bowl. 2. Season the fish with salt and pepper. 3. Dredge the fish in the flour and shake off any excess. 4. Dip the fish into the batter. 5. Fry the fish in preheated 375F oil until cooked, about 4-5 minutes.

APPLE PEAR AND NUT BUNDT CAKE

1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

2 apples, golden delicious, peeled, cored and cut into small pieces

In a small bowl put the cranberries with a bit of warm water and let them soak for at least an hour. Drain, discarding the water and set aside. Position rack in the middle of an oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter the bundt pan, then dust with flour, knocking out the excess.

In a large mixing bowl or bowl of electric mixer, sift together flour, powder, soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Add brown and regular sugars, butter, eggs and vanilla. Using electric mixer, beat on high speed, scraping down sides of bowl with rubber spatual as needed, until batter is pale and smooth, about 3 minutes for hand held mixer and 2 minutes for stand mixer. Stir in apples, pears, nuts and cranberries. Spoon into prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake until a wooden pick or skewer comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake. About 1 hour. Cool cake in pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert and unmold onto rack and cool completely. Cake can be made up to three days in advance and stored at room temperature wrapped in plastic wrap.

Nodakgal,
Mom and I like the creamy stove-top rice pudding and my Stepfather was raised with the baked rice pudding, and that's the only kind he would eat.
