Crock Pot Zesty Italian Chicken

Here's another crock pot meal from the library book.


2-3 lb chicken breasts
16 ounce bottle of italian dressing
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Place chicken in crock pot. Pour dressing over top. Stir together gently. Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low 8 hours.




It was pretty good. It was kind of plain, so definitely serve it over rice or noodles.

This is another recipe from the library cookbook.

Place potatoes in crock pot. Add chicken, onion, and garlic. In small bowl, mix water, oregano, salt & pepper. Pour into crock pot. Top with olive oil. Cover and cook on low 9-10 hours or high 5-6 hours.


This was pretty good, but could of used something more. Maybe some veggies mixed in would of helped it.

Ranch Burgers

I have started going through my recipe box recipes instead of my pinterest board for this month. This recipe sounded delicious and is a great summer recipe because it's for the grill.

2lbs ground beef
1 packet ranch mix
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup crushed saltine crackers

In a bowl, mix all ingredients. Form into hamburger patties. Place patties on grill and cook to your liking.






Oh my gosh, these were awesome. Mike said they were the best burgers ever so that's saying a lot. We will definitely be making burgers this way every time from now on.
