You have to forgive my recipe for I'm one that cook without measuring. I just eyeball the quantity. This time, I tried and managed to write it down. For the vegetables: celery, carrots, garlic and onion, you can add or subtract from this recipe to your like. I also use ready made flour tortillas for dumplings. It does come out as dumplings. I put 4 servings as in soup bowl servings. I have no idea how much is considered a serving and it depends if one eats alot or not. This recipe is definetely more than 2 servings though. Here's my recipe for Chicken 'n Dumplings using a crockpot: Natalie's Chicken 'n Dumplings 4 servings Ingredients: 3 boneless chicken breasts (thawed or frozen) 1 can (10 ¾ oz.) condensed Cream of Mushroom + same 1 can of water 1 can (10 ¾ oz.) condensed Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup + same 1 can of water (May substitute with chicken broth. Using the same empty can cream of mushroom measure 2 full cans of broth) 3-4 cloves of garlic, chopped ½ onion, chopped 1 stalk or 8-10 ribs of celery, sliced 4-6 carrots, sliced or 1 small bag (1 lb.) of baby carrots, halved. 15-20 small size (about 6"-7") ready made flour tortillas, cut up in about 2" squares. Don't need to separate them too much if they stick together. Salt & Pepper to taste Instruction: In a crockpot, add in all the ingredients except for the tortillas. Stir it up a little. Cook on High for 4 hours or on Low for 8 hours. At the last 30 minutes (it doesn't matter whether you've been setting it on high or low), take the chicken breasts out and shred them in small to medium size or desired size. After 10 minutes (from time of taking out the chicken), put back the chicken in the pot and add the tortillas. Stir it up and turn the crockpot on High and cook for the last 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Note: The sauce will thicken some more with the tortillas. Enjoy! Natalie

This recipe is quick, easy and very tasty. The sauce is great on mashed potatoes, too. You might want to adjust for only two chops, or you may not...the sauce is that good! Sherried Mushroom Pork Chops Butter flavored cooking oil spray 1 clove garlic, pressed 6 lean center cut pork loin chops (may be boneless or bone in) Salt and pepper to taste 1 - 8 ounce can sliced mushrooms, drained (I use fresh) 1 cup dry sherry 1 - 10.5 ounce can fat-free beef broth 2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 tablespoons water Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking oil spray and heat over medium heat. Add garlic, and saut� until fragrant. Season pork chops with salt and pepper, then cook them in the skillet just until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops to a baking dish. Pour the mushrooms into the skillet with the pork garlic, and stir in the sherry and beef broth, scraping any bits of pork that are stuck to the pan. Bring to a boil, then pour over the pork chops in the baking dish. Cover with a lid, or aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, then remove the lid or foil, and continue to bake for another 15 minutes. Remove the chops from the pan to a serving platter, and place the dish on the stove over medium heat. Stir together the cornstarch and water. When the juices in the pan come to a boil, slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon sauce over the chops, and serve.

I have a couple of suggestions..... Chicken Chili from Ina Prep Time: 15 min Inactive Prep Time: hr min Cook Time: 1 hr 45 min Level: Easy Serves: 6 servings 4 cups chopped yellow onions (3 onions) 1/8 cup good olive oil, plus extra for chicken 1/8 cup minced garlic (2 cloves) 2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and large-diced 2 yellow bell peppers, cored, seeded, and large-diced 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes, or to taste 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for chicken 2 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled plum tomatoes in puree, undrained 1/4 cup minced fresh basil leaves 4 split chicken breasts, bone in, skin on Freshly ground black pepper For serving: Chopped onions, corn chips, grated cheddar, sour cream Cook the onions in the oil over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the bell peppers, chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, cayenne, and salt. Cook for 1 minute. Crush the tomatoes by hand or in batches in a food processor fitted with a steel blade (pulse 6 to 8 times). Add to the pot with the basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until just cooked. Let cool slightly. Separate the meat from the bones and skin and cut it into 3/4-inch chunks. Add to the chili and simmer, uncovered, for another 20 minutes. Serve with the toppings, or refrigerate and reheat gently before serving. ****************************************************** Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup Place in crockpot 2 or 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves. You can easily skip the sour cream and cheese. Without draining anything, combine in bowl: 2 (15oz) cans black beans 1 (14.5 oz) can tomato sauce 2 (15 oz) cans Mexican stewed tomatoes (or Rotel) 1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies 1 cup salsa, your preference as to strength Pour over chicken and cook on low 8 hours. Just before serving, remove chicken, shred it, and stir it back into the soup. Stir in: 1 can Niblets corn Heat just long enough to get corn and chicken hot. Serve topped with cheese, sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips. Or put the chips in the bowl first and ladle soup on top. Either way, YUMMY and so easy!

ok I will post it here and will also do it as todays recipe. Tomato gravy and roast 1 beef roast or round steak or similar piece of beef (I buy what is on sale) 1 chopped onion 1 chopped bell pepper 1 can diced tomato (I like the garlic and onion type) 2 or 3 chopped cloves of garlic 1 can cream of onion soup or cream of mushroom cajun seasoning, I use Tony's yellow mustard olive oil On your meat put about a tablespoon of yellow mustard and spread it on all over the meat, sprinkle it with your cajun seasoning or what ever seasoning you are using. Heat about 3 TBS of olive oil in your pot (dutch oven type) and put your meat in, sear it well on both sides to brown it some. Add your chopped onion, bell pepper and garlic, stir that around and let it start to wilt. Add your diced tomato and soup and one tomato can of water. I add a little more seasoning to that too and a little garlic salt. Stir it up to mix the ingredients. IF I have it I usually add about a teaspoon of kitchen bouquet. Kitchen Bouquet Turn the heat to about medium and let it get to a nice boil, let it cook that way for about 30 mins, then turn it down to a slow simmer and cover, cook it about an hour or so depending on how thick your meat is, I cook mine till the meat is falling apart when I stick the fork in it. If you like your gravy thick (I do) right before serving I will add 1TBS of corn starch to about a half a cup of water mix well then add to the pot and stir well, turn the heat up to a boil to help it thicken. Have a pot of cooked rice ready to go with this. Serve each plate individually put the rice on the plate then pour on a ladle of gravy and cut your meat in to servings.
