Crock Pot Family Favorite Casserole
"I work nights and crock pot recipes are life savers. This one is often requested by my family. My family doesn't much care for peas so I increase my potatoes and carrots to equal 1 1/2 C to substitute. The cream of celery soup really makes this good. I have used cream of chicken or mushroom and my family makes comments."

This was pretty good. I left out the peas and carrots... I wish I would have put them in there, next time I will, though! This cooked in exactly 4 hours on high. My dad really liked it, my brother didn't care for it but he's pretty picky. I'll use this one again, thanx. -
M. U. S. H That is exactly what this is. Don't waste your time or money with this stuff.<br/>It cooks down and all it is, is meat and mushy noodles. No flavor at all!<br/>Why can't people be HONEST with these reviews ? ? ? -
Very good, made it a while ago without rating it and seeing it again makes my mouth water. TMI, but I think I'm going to make it again this week. -
This turned out wonderfully, we all just loved it, everybody had 2nd helpings, and I had about 1 serving left over for lunch. What a great warming meal ~ definitely a keeper. Thanks Karen ~ made for kzbhansen's Cookathon for the fight. -
This was a great crockpot one pot meal. I followed the recipe exactly and it came out yummy. Truly crockpot comfort food. Served with a skillet of cornbread, and it was a complete meal. Will definitely be making again. Thanks Karen for posting, and my prayers are with you in your struggle with Cancer. Made for the Cookathon in support of Karen's fight.

Hi, I'm behind on my reviews. This was very good. All I changed was that I used minced garlic instead of powdered, and eliminated the salt because I am on a sodium restricted diet.

People love my pizza Swirls. I love all foods. I love to try complicated recipes for fun and I make alot of my own breads. My kids love to help me cook I think its a great time to get to communicate with our kids especially when life can get so crazy with school and such, this is a great habit we have gotten into, cooking and chatting LOL.
We now have a smoothie night where we make an assortment of smoothies as a dessert, and on occasion we have had smoothies for dinner but that is a rare occasion. Its kids choice and they have fun on recipezaar because I have dedicated a cookbook just to smoothies. My daughter is getting creative in her smoothie endeavors and coming up with some incredible ideas!
In Jan 09 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and have just began the treatments
to get myself back up to speed.
*UPDATE* November 2009
I have finished my radiation and chemotherapy and am on the mend. Chemo
caused nerve damage in my leg so I am unable to walk without a cane and a brace but otherwise doing great!!!!!!!!
