Crock Pot Turkey Potato Dinner



1 pound ground turkey
5 cups raw sliced potatoes
1 onion, diced
1/2 tsp salt
14 1/2 ounce can green beans, undrained
10 3/4 ounce can cream of chicken soup

Crumble uncooked turkey into crock pot. Add potatoes, onions, salt and beans in layers in crock pot. Pour soup over top. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.






 Overall, this was pretty good. It didn't look so good, but we really liked it. I think maybe a can of cheddar cheese soup or some shredded cheese might of been good too.

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.
