Crock Pot Recipes

Apricot Nut Bread

Apricot Nut Bread Crockpot Recipe

Serves 4 to 6.

3/4 cup dried apricots
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Place the apricots on a chopping block. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour over them. Dip a knife into the flour and chop the apricots finely. Flour the knife often to keep the cut up fruit from sticking together. Sift the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar into a large bowl.

Combine the milk, egg, orange peel, and oil. Stir the flour mixture and the whole wheat flour. Fold in the cut up apricots, any flour left on the cutting block and the walnuts. Pour into a well greased, floured baking unit or 2-pound coffee can. Cover and place on a rack in the slow cooker, but prop the lid open a fraction with a wooden pick or a twist of foil to let excess steam escape. Cook on HIGH for 4 to 6 hours. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

Do not lift the lid while baking this bread.

Chili Meatloaf Crock Pot Recipe

Chili Meatloaf Crock Pot Recipe

2 pounds ground turkey
1 cup chopped onion
2/3 cup Italian-style seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chili sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Salsa (for topping)

In large bowl, mix all ingredients except salsa. Shape into a round loaf and place on foil strips* in the crockpot. Cover and cook on LOW for about 5 to 6 hours, or until juices run clear. Remove from slow cooker and top with salsa, if desired.

*Tear off 3 or 4 pieces of aluminum foil about 12 to 18 inches long (depending on size of crockpot). Fold to 3 or 4-inch width and place criss-crossing in the crockpot. These will make it easier to lift the meatloaf out.
Serves 6 to 8.
