Does any one have an easy crock pot idea for a meal. I don't have to eat it but need to bring it..

Well, I've always enjoyed using the crock pot for making a stew...or chili...but I'm a glutton for punishment...LOL

Hi,

How about a crock full of swedish meatballs? They're easy to mix together and heat overnight. Get a bag of premade meatballs and some cream of mushroom Soup (the large size--maybe two of them-can't remember how much it takes). The night before the grub fest, put the meatballs into the crock frozen, stir in the Soup, cover and heat thru overnight. Probably should have them on high til they start simmering.

If you don't have time, bake the meatballs, put them into the crock pot (on low), stir in the soup, and viola! dish to pass.

I did teriaki meatballs for the superbowl party and they were a big hit. I got the bagged meatballs and poured a bottle of KC Masterpiece Honey Teriaki with sesame seeds marinade over them. You actually need to add some Water because it is a thick marinade but the taste is awesome. Let simmer a couple of hours and they are done. Super easy. I had to take a dish to a potluck today (counselors week!) and I took a platter of the cheese cubes and some grapes. I like the no fuss options!

Those are all good ideas. I love Chili but it does not love me now days.

But the Meatballs I was thinking about but in another form..

Abondiga Soup - hamburger with rice and egg made into a meatball then thrown into a boiling pot of half stock and half Water with vegis.

But I a really loving the swedish meatball idea that sounds like something I could eat..

Thanks you all -- I am off to wally world

Oh man that Teriaki sounds delicious I will have to maybe make both.. Now I am gonna have to decide what i am going to do???

I do the crock pot meatballs with ragu spaghetti sauce for work carry-ins. Super easy! They are always all gone at the end of my shift, and the longer they cook the more awesome they taste. I love swedish style too, but I use my food injector to put cream cheese into the center of the meatballs before cooking in a mushroom Soup and sour cream sauce.
