A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

A childhood favorite! We called it goulash and it was cookedd on the stovetop. The crock worked fine for it and got the rice nice and tender.

California pilaf is one of those old recipes that I grew up with although I don't remember it cooking in the crock pot. I've also seen this called goulash. On low this took me about 8 hours until the rice was cooked.

I was so happy to find this recipe for California Pilaf. This is what my Mom used to make for us when I was a kid that was my favorite meal! It is a bit 60's-centric ... lots of hamburger, tomato, but I am going to try it ASAP again in her honor ... and I have to recommend it to everyone! Yummy and easy to make.
