A sticky posting in each regional forum sounds like a great spot for something like this.

It would make an excellent addition to the site!

Creamy Chicken
4 to 6 chicken breast halves , skin removed
1/4 cup melted butter
salt and pepper to taste
1 glove garlic, minced
1 can (10 1/2 ounces) cream of chicken soup
8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes, can use reduced fat.
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped celery

Place chicken breasts in crockpot. Brush the chicken with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add herbs and remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours.

POTATO MINESTRONE SOUP
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained.
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
2 cups frozen cubed hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 tablespoon dried minced onion. (I used chopped onion)
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained.
2 cups frozen peas and carrots, thawed

In a slow cooker, combine the first 13 ingredients, Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, Stir in the spinach, peas and carrots; heat through.

CROCK POT CHICKEN STROGANOFF
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, frozen
1 can Cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
16 ounces sour cream
1 package onion soup mix

Place frozen chicken breasts on the bottom of the crock pot.
Mix the other ingredients together and pour over chicken breasts
Cook on low for about 7 – 8 hours, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center
Stir sauce before cooking and if you would like to thicken sauce, add flour or cornstarch.
Serve over rice or noodles.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN TACO SOUP
1 Onion chopped
1 (16 ounce) can chili beans
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (12 fluid ounce ) can or bottle beer
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
3 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts
shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
sour cream (optional)
crushed tortilla chips (optional)

Place the onion, chili beans, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, beer, and diced tomatoes in slow cooker. Add taco seasoning, and stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts on top of the mixture, pressing down slightly until just covered by the other ingredients. Set slow cooker for low heat, cover and cook for 5 hours.
Remove chicken breasts from the soup, and allow to cool long enough to be shredded, Stir the shredded chicken back into the soup and continue cooking for 2 hours. Serve topped with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream and crushed tortilla chips if desired.
I have already cooked this recipe for 7 – 9 hours and just shredded the chicken and put back in the slow cooker right before we were ready to eat. Also just diced the chicken before putting it into the slow cooker, and used diced chicken instead of shredded…… your choice.

This is Mrs. Benny7210 and I will get some slow cooker recipes together and post them a little later.

Congratulations on your first find. And welcome to a fantastic family hobby. Caching this time of the year and all the snow only make it more challenging. Hope to see you on the trails soon.

[benny7210]

Thanks to OPS for the bookmark. Can’t wait to get up there and strap on the old snowshoes.

There are some great area caches to snowshoe though. In fact, with some of the other talk of bookmarks, I’m thinking of starting a snowshoe friendly bookmark of Wausau area caches.

I would be very interested in that bookmark.
Sounds like it would be a fun time to get a group together and do some winter caching.

[benny7210]

I have 15 bench marks recovered. And enjoy hunting them very much. Bench mark hunting is much more challenging that finding the film canister in a guard rail, or a skirt lifter. My vote would be for a separate forum. That’s my two cents worth…… 🙄

[benny7210]

Thanks to Kansas64 for getting the ball rolling on this fun night of caching. I sure had a blast. I am looking forward to caching with all of you again. Have a great Holidays.

Thanks to AstroD-Team and all the others for their hard work, and dedication to this project.
