Crockpot Taco Bar
Last night we hosted a retirement party for my husband. We had decided on a Taco Bar for the affair and set about to find a recipe for it in the crockpot as I felt it would stay hot. I wanted to use my usual Taco seasoning packet. I searched the internet and several crockpot sites but didn't find exactly what I wanted. So I did it like this
Brown 1 lb lean hamburger I used 4 lbs to feed a crowd
One package of your favorite taco season and the water it calls for
1 cap refried beans per lb of hamburger
Combine above in crockpot and cook on low for 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Turn down to simmer to keep warm.
Add your favorite garnishes and you have a Taco Bar

Winter Crockpot Recipes
Corned Beef and Cabbage
By Linda Larsen, About.com Guide
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 11 hours
Total Time: 11 hours, 25 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
•6 carrots, cut into chunks
•2 onions, chopped
•2-3 lb. corned beef brisket with seasoning packet
•12 oz. can beer (non alcoholic is fine)
•2 Tbsp. yellow mustard
•1/4 cup brown sugar
•1 cup water
•8 wedges cabbage
Preparation:
In 4-6 quart crockpot, combine carrots and onions. Rinse corned beef under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Place in crockpot and sprinkle with contents of seasoning mix. Pour beer over brisket and spread mustard on brisket. In small bowl mix brown sugar with water and pour over brisket. Cover crockpot and cook on low setting for 10-12 hours.
Remove corned beef from crockpot and cover with foil, then put into 200 degrees F oven to keep warm. Add cabbage wedges to vegetables and liquid in crockpot. Cover crockpot and cook on high for additional 30-40 minutes or until cabbage is crisp tender.
To serve, cut corned beef across grain into thin slices. Remove vegetables from slow cooker with slotted spoon and serve with corned beef. Serve cooking juices over the food, if desired. Offer additional mustard on the side; I myself prefer honey mustard.
If you have a newer, hotter cooking crockpot you might want to check it after 8 or 9 hours. Although, with this much liquid, there shouldn't be much problem with anything burning.

1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted

I made this tonite for dinner and it was sooo good. I had it on high for 2 hours but nothing was tender, so I put it on the stove for about 40 minutes and everything was tender and the gravy thickened up some too. I did add way more of everything so I would have enough. Glad I had some leftovers!
