The I need to put something in NOW version: Throw into the crockpot enough boneless skinless thighs to feed your crew (frozen if you forgot to defrost.) Top with 3 cups(more or less) pizza sauce . Cook on low 6 hours if using thawed meat, 8 hours if using frozen (or you can cook about an hour on high and then turn it down but be careful because pizza sauce will burn if left on high). About 30 min. before serving remove the meat and stir in 6oz. cubed cream cheese. After the cheese has been stirred in smooth add the meat back in and finish cooking . Serve over cooked noodles with parmesan cheese. If you are not in a rush you could add chopped onions, pepper and sliced olives (sauteed if you really have the time to spare). Next time I also want to try mozzarella cheese instead of the parmesan. As moms with lots of kids will understand it is often good economical sense to open a #10 can. In my experience if you need three or more "normal" size cans it is cheaper to go with the #10 even if you end up throwing all the rest away. I try not to throw anything away which results in some creative experiments sometimes. Thus this recipe. (Oh- and I was in a hurry. It was Sunday morning and we were running late and I had to throw something in fast so we could eat after church. )Despite it all my husband, who cringes when he sees the slow cooker, loved it and said he definately wanted to have it again. Go figure. |
