Split Pea Soup--Holly from allrecipes.com
Ingredients
* 16 ounces dried split peas * 2 cups diced fully cooked lean ham * 1 cup diced carrots * 1 medium onion, chopped * 2 garlic cloves, minced * 2 bay leaves * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 1/2 teaspoon pepper * 5 cups boiling water * 1 cup hot milk
Directions
1. In a slow cooker, layer the first nine ingredients in order listed (do not stir). Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or until vegetables are tender. Stir in milk. Discard bay leaves before serving. I would use a whole ham and diced it up your self because I found the diced up ham a little tasteless. Otherwise, it tasted great.

Bacon Wrapped Smokies
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound sliced bacon, cut into thirds 1 (14 ounce) package beef cocktail wieners 3/4 cup brown sugar, or to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Refrigerate 2/3 of the bacon until needed. It is easier to wrap the wieners with cold bacon. Wrap each cocktail wiener with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar generously over all. Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sugar is bubbly. To serve, place the wieners in a slow cooker and keep on the low setting.

Egg Casserole - Here is a yummy easy crock pot breakfast that is really good.
Egg Casserole ( serves 18)
1 1/2 bags (32oz. size) frozen hash browns ( the cubed ones work the best)
1 1/2 pound cooked ham, cubed ( can use browned sausage or cooked bacon if you prefer)
3/4 cup of diced onion
1 1/2 green pepper chopped ( unless you really like green peppers, I would use 1 small one diced) you can use yellow and red pepper too if you want
2 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
18 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk ( whole works the best but can use whatever)
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tps. pepper
Directions: Spray the inside of slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Place one third of the potatoes on the bottom. Add one third of ham, onion green pepper and cheese. Repeat layers ending up with the cheese on top.
In a large bowl beat eggs, milk and seasonings until well blended. Pour over the ingredients in the crock pot, cover and turn on low. Cook for 10-12 hours until casserole is set and eggs are cooked.
Oval crock pot works the best for this recipe but can use any type you have but you may have to adjust cooking time.

~Crockpot Lasagna~ -Suzy (Michelle's friend)
1 (26-ounce) jar prepared pasta sauce
1 (10-ounce) box lasagna noodles (10-12 noodles)
1 (11-ounce) container pesto
1 (15-ounce) container part skim ricotta cheese
1 (12-ounce) bag baby spinach
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
16 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced (I used 8 oz. of provolone)
1/4 cup water
Use a 4 quart slow cooker. Put a spoonful of pasta sauce (about 1/4 cup) into the bottom of your cooker and swirl it around. Add a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles (you're going to have to break them to make a layer). Smear ricotta cheese and pesto onto the noodles. Add a handful or two of baby spinach, and top with a layer of Parmesan and slice mozzarella cheeses. Repeat layers until you've run out of ingredients. The spinach is fluffy, so you're going to have to squish it down to make it all fit.
Before closing the pot, put 1/4 cup of water into the empty pasta sauce jar and close and shake. Pour this saucy water over the top of everything. Cover up and cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for about 3 to 4. You'll know it's done when the top layer begins to brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. It will also pull a bit away from the sides. Taste-test a noodle to check texture. Uncover, and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
