Sweet Kielbasa

2 lbs kielbasa sliced into bite sized pieces

1 Cup unsweetened apple sauce

3/4 Cup brown sugar

2 Tablespoons dijon mustard

2 Cloves garlic – minced

Add all ingredients to slow cooker and stir to combine.

Cook on low for 6 hours.

Stir once more and turn to warm to keep warm while serving

Crockpot Nachos

2-4 chicken breasts, frozen (depends how much chicken you like it is great with a lot or a little)

1 can drained black beans

1 can drained canned whole kernel corn

1 (15 ounce) jar salsa (recommend medium)

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

Note:

When we double the recipe we don’t double the cream cheese and it works great.

Cooking Directions:

Take chicken, frozen, yes, frozen boneless chicken breasts and put into crock pot.

Add corn, black beans, salsa.  Dump right on top of chicken.

Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or until chicken forks apart.

Add cream cheese (just throw it on top) and let sit for about 1/2 hour.

Serve with tortilla chips or just eat with a spoon.  You can also put over rice.

Great cold the next day.  Or warmed up of course.

Creamy Italian Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix (or 1/2 cup Italian dressing and no water)(I usually add a little less than 1/2 cup prepared Italian dressing)

2 cans cream of chicken soup

Pasta or rice

Place chicken in slow cooker.  Combine salad dressing mix, water, and soup; pour over chicken.  Add cream cheese.  Cover and cook on low for about6 hours.  Serve over pasta or rice.

Glazed Kielbasa

3 pounds smoked kielbasa or Polish sausage, cut into 1 inch chunks

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1  1/2 cup ginger ale (I use lemon lime soda because we usually have that)

Place sausage in slow cooker; sprinkle with brown sugar.  Pour ginger ale over the top. Stir to mix all together and make sure sausage is all covered with soda.  Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until heated through.  Serve with rice.  Some of the family likes the juice on the rice.
