Are you looking for a new cookbook to get the most of your crock pot? Gooseberry Patchโs Busy Day Slow Cookingย might just be the answer you are looking for!


Cris here. Our friends at Gooseberry Patch sent us a couple copies of this new book and we put it to the test. We tried a variety of recipes including these 6 quick and easy crock pot recipes.
First up, we triedย Cooking Hot Dogs in Bulkย and LOVED it. We even made a Hot Dog Bar using our 3 Pot Party Slow Cooker and our Chili Cheese Dog Recipe.
We also tried the Crock Pot Polish Sausage Cabbage Soupย which was unlike any soup we had ever had before! Definitely, a must try for folks that want to try something different.
Easy Crock Pot Cowboy Beansย were simply perfection. They had that yummy familiar taste that you find at any respectable potluck ;).
Crock Pot Hot Fudge Peanut Butter Cakeย was simply decadent. So good.

Crock Pot Easy Italian Chickenย was a spin on the Italian Pot Roast in the cookbook that we absolutely love. The chicken was amazing as well! Love getting two dish ideas out of this delicious recipe. Both are in our regular menu rotation.
Crock Pot Under the Sea Dipย is a fun party recipe for seafood loves. It is a great alternative to some of the typical dips you find at the party table.
Now that we have given you a taste of Gooseberry Patchโs Busy Day Slow Cookingย how about we give one away to one lucky winner??

The Crock Pot make it so easy & the aroma when you open the door is breath taking… Thank for all your posts..

Under the Sea Dip
The Cowboy Chile will be the first I will try. I am the caregiver for my son who is a disabled veteran and any help cutting time spent cooking is very important.
I would like to try the cowboy beans, the peanut butter cake and then the hot dogs in bulk.
I have several slow cookers of various sizes and love cooking in them.
My favorite thing to cook in this one would be the Crockpot Hot Fudge Penut Butter Cake.
YUM!
