Dinner in a Pinch

Get your Crock Pot Ready, this was one I found on Pinterest, I made some changes, because I don't use "Cream of" anything, I think its always good to have Stock or Broth of all kinds on hand, even Bullion Cubes.

Set it and Forget it !!!

What you will need to get started:

Crock Pot

3 Large Diced Potatoes, I use Yukon Gold 

1 pkg frozen mixed vegetables

1-2 pkgs Smoked sausage or Kielbasa

2 cans Vegetable Broth 

1 can Chicken Broth 

Tbsp Crushed Garlic

3 good shakes Vegetable seasoning

Instructions

Dice potatoes add to crock pot

slice sausage and add to crock pot

add all remaining ingredients 

cook on low for 6 hours 

You can brown the sausage first, even if you have some time sautee it with some onion and bell pepper before adding it to the crock pot, then add to the crock pot and let cook.

Yes the recipe says 6 hours, I just ask someone who gets home before me to stir it and turn it to the "warm" setting.

Now this is a complete meal, so add a nice green salad to go with it, make your own Vinaigrette, add some feta or blue cheese crumbles and a nice glass of water, or wine, if you really have to have bread take the time to make some "Drop Biscuits", they are quick and easy, they bake up while you're setting the table.

Drop Biscuits 

2 cups flour, ( I use coconut flour because I can't have the other)

1 tbsp Baking Powder

2 tsp Sugar

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1/4 tsp salt 

1/2 cup melted butter

1 cup milk 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Stir in butter and milk just until moistened. Drop batter on a lightly greased cookie sheet by the tablespoon.
3. Bake in preheated oven until golden on the edges, about 8 to 12 minutes. Serve warm.

Goes great with Honey Butter, gravy, jelly
