We love homemade chili and I make big batches on purpose–so I can cook once and use it 3 different ways—-chili, chili mac, and then chili dogs and fries.

Thank you for a different chili recipe—will have to try this one out!

Sounds like the men (hubby and son) would really LOVE this. I really don’t know much about meat—so thank you for telling me what kind of steak works well and giving me such an easy meat recipe that the guys will love!

Sounds great….have you ever tried deep frying these as that kinds sounds like what you are doing in the pan?

These sound great to make extras and have on hand when the college kids come home from classes and want a quick snack!

I have done lasagna in the crockpot before. At our old house–we hosted many of the holidays and I had family members who ate no meat. So, I made meatless lasagna and mac & cheese caserole for every function. After awhile–I learned by doing them in the crockpot–I could prep them the night before–and then just put them on to cook the morning of. There by–freeing me up to do other last minute prep. However, I look forward to trying your recipe—it is different than mine and sounds yummy with cottage cheese—mine has cream cheese in it.

Sounds delicious! We make steak fajitas occasional–I usually don’t marinate the steak as I use an Ortega fajita seasoning packet—but this Mexican method sound much yummier! I will have to look for the Arracherras (skirt steak) next time.

Yes, beef stew is one we like to make around here too! In fact, I have some beef in the freezer that I had bought for beef stew –before the move. Now, I just have to re-stock my veggies so I can make it.

Yum—we love Chef Boyardee Ravioli once in awhile for lunches—but this sounds like a GREAT sit down dinner!

Thank you for the recipe/idea—it never occured to me to make it like this!

As long as you have a crock pot, you should be fine ;0) This is the easiest recipe ever – perfect for days when you don’t feel like hassling with making dinner.
Crockpot Ravioli:
25 oz bag of frozen ravioli
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Dump your bag of frozen ravioli right into the crockpot.
Pour your jar of sauce over the ravioli.
Stir the ravioli to evenly coat with sauce.
Cover and cook on high for about 3 hours. Depending on how fast your crockpot cooks, you may notice they are done closer to 2.5 hours. You could also cook on low for a longer period of time.
About 20 minutes before you are ready to serve, sprinkle the top of the ravioli with finely shredded mozzarella cheese. Pop the lid back on and let it melt- about 20 minutes.
TAH-DAH!

I am cooking with my crock pot tonight. Making beef stew. The amounts will be based on how large a crock you have.
Cut up any cut of beef. Put in onions, carrots, celery and potatoes and 2 garlic cloves.
Add 1 t salt. 1/4 t paprika, 3 T Worcestershire sauce. 2-3 cups of water.
Tonight I added a packet of gravy to thicken it. Sometimes I will use flour.
I will cook 4-5 hours on high.

Hmmm…. crockpot works! This one is really easy and is truly good. Put a piece of beef steak (London Broil works great). Dump in a large can of mushroom soup straight from the can. You can just do those two ingredients and cook for 8 to 10 hours. Or you can add a little onion and some fresh mushrooms to it and cook the 8 to 10 hours. I serve pieces of the beef and the excellent gravy over mashed potatoes. I guess you could make your spuds on the hotplate:)
