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.

ingredients
2 pounds crumbled and cooked ground beef, drained
1/2 cup sliced or diced onion
1 cup sliced celery
1 can sliced water chestnuts
1 can mushrooms
1/2 cup rice
3 cups water
1/2 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch, MIXED WITH
1 tablespoon water
chow mein noodles
directions
In crock pot, combine all ingredients from beef to brown sugar and stir until incorporated. Do not put all the water in, just enough to barely cover the ingredients (rice will absorb water as it cooks). Cook on low.
After 4-6 hours, mix in 1-2 cups more water until mixture is somewhat runny. Add the cornstarch/water mix and turn on high for about 20 minutes or so.
Serve over chow mein noodles.

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.

My mom used to make a dish like this but it was baked in the oven instead of a crock pot. We always loved it and my kids love it too. I only cooked it on low for 4 hours total though;
