I'm going to attempt to find/remember a recipe that I think prhoshay posted a while ago for chicken in the crockpot using stuffing mix and cream of mushroom soup.

I am trying to use up what I have on hand as that's just less I have to move.
Plus, it's EASY. And EASY is my motto right now.

I was just thinking about doing that same recipe for tonight - mr. m has been requesting it. If you can't find the recipe amongst the things you have packed - I can re-post it for ya.

Could you please? I currently cannot see the top of my kitchen table. I know it has to be under there somewhere, about 3 or 4 layers down.

Thanks, you're a sweetie.

Sorry both you and Margaritaville. I thought it was you shay, because it was so easy (and delicious).

I couldn't remember who posted it, but I will now give credit where it's due and thank Margaritaville for originally posting it and then reposting it for me.

DesertRose,

I haven't tried this yet, but it's on my list:

Quote:

Lombo di Maiale Coi Porri (Pan-Roasted Pork Loin with Leeks)
Yield
6 servings (serving size: about 3 ounces pork and about 2 1/2 tablespoons leek mixture)

Ingredients
4 large leeks (about 2 1/4 pounds)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon butter, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1 (2-pound) boneless pork loin, trimmed
1/2 cup dry white wine
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Preparation

Remove roots and tough upper leaves from leeks. Cut each leek in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices (you should have about 6 cups). Soak in cold water to loosen dirt.

Combine leeks, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large Dutch oven or deep sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cook for 10 minutes or until leek wilts. Pour the leek mixture into a bowl.

Heat remaining 2 teaspoons butter in pan over medium-high heat. Add pork to pan. Cook 5 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and wine to pan; cook 15 seconds, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Return leek mixture to pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours or until pork is tender. Remove pork from pan. Increase heat to reduce leek sauce if too watery. Cut pork into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Serve with leek mixture. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

I've usually used leeks for soup too.

You are most welcome. Now you just need to be my guinea pig and tell me how it turns out.

I have plans to try out my new slow cooker on Monday. I'm adapting a recipe for Thai-style beef and lettuce wraps from my one-pan cookbook. If it turns out well, I'll post it in the recipe thread.

Be prepared to fall in love with your cooker!
