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 Italian Chicken is a definite must try, wonder how long on low?
The Cowboy Beans are sounding good!
I would like to make the Cowboy Beans when the family gets together. I think it would be a hit!
Crockpot Under the Sea Dip sounds yummy!
I’m dying to try the Under the Sea Dip. Italian chicken also looks good,
Cowboy Beans if I have to choose from these recipes. The next recipe I make from your site will be Cheese Lover’s Crock Pot Shells. I am thinking that this would be great with some Costco hot dogs on the grill – or even in the crockpot with the shells.
Love your recipes!
I would try the cowboy beans first. My favorite recipe thus far is the “stuffed pepper soup”!!
Hard to choose, but my German roots say the cabbage soup – sounds like something Mom would have made (probably with knockwurst instead of Polish sausage, but close enough!)
I want to try the italian chicken. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Definite on the Italian Chicken, we all just voted and wish we had the cookbook in time for dinner.
Trying again hoping to win. Beans for me!
EASY Italian Chicken ~ with busy lives, we all need some Easy recipes!
I would definitely cook the Italian chicken for my family.
My grandkids love peanut butter and anything made with peanut butter.
My stove shorted out and I have not been able to get it fixed or replace it, so my crock pot is my main source of cooking now. Would love to try any of the above recipes for the crock pot.
I think the cowboy beans would be my choice
I would love to win this recipe book, been using my crockpot for months now, anything with chicken is awesome.
It has to be the Easy Italian Chicken but I definitely will try the hot dogs.
the under the sea dip.
I would like to try the “Polish Sausage Cabbage Soup”…
I love to use my Crock Pot, so trying them all would work for me. The Cowboy Beans would make a great start.
I would love the cookbook, been using mine for months, anything using chicken would be awesome!
YUMMY UNDER THE SEA DIP… ๐
I would like to try the under the Sea dip. I have made the usual onion dip but this would be something different and I could use my crock pot
Hot Fudge Peanut Butter Cake. Hot fudge AND peanut butter—I’m in!!
Thank you for the opportunity!
The Italian chicken sounds great.
