Here is a crockpot recipe that my family loves (it's one of our favorites), and perfect for cold winter nights. Toss a salad and you have a hearty meal with a few simple, and CHEAP, ingredients.
When I have celery that will go bad before we use it all, I chop the ingredients for this soup and freeze. Then when I need a meal, I just have to throw in my bag of veggies & ham in the crockpot along w/ beans and water and we have dinner cooking in a snap.
Congressional Bean Soup
8 cups water
1 pound dried Navy beans (sorted & picked through)
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 onion, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley (optional)
1-2 cups chopped left over ham
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
For a quick soak, in a large pot on the stove, bring water to a boil. Add beans and boil gently 2 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand 1 hour. OR, just soak beans overnight and in the morning rinse and fill crock with 8 cups water. Whichever method you use, put 8 total cups water in the crockpot/slow cooker. Add all other ingredients. Cover and cook on HIGH 6-7 hours until beans are very soft. Add more salt if needed to taste and pepper.

Ham and Potato Casserole
Featured Recipe...
Ham and Potato Casserole
1 pkg of diced ham ($2.25 at Wal Mart in Louisiana)
1 pkg shredded cheese (2/$3.00 again at Wal Mart) Use your favorite type of cheese
1 can cream of mushroom or celery soup, even cream of chicken works well
1 pkg of frozen hash browns
Mix all ingredients in casserole dish and pop in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes depending on your oven.
Don't know how many adults it would feed, but I feed twelve children under four years old, including "seconds." The kids love this dish. And, my own family loves it. I generally feed 4-5 people and add a salad. My husband, myself, and three to four college aged grandsons depending on who is home that night! I usually make a fruit desert or jello to add to menu.
