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??

I would like to try the Easy Italian Chicken. It looks like a nice comfort food meal.
I would love to try under the sea dip. I wont to use my crock pot more but don’t have any good recipes to use.
I would like to try cooking hot dogs in bulk, as there are many occasions where there is a big crowd to serve. Everything is so much simpler with a crock pot !
I am going to try them all. Couldn’t pick just one! The Easy Italian Chicken will be first, followed by the chocolate peanut butter cake (DH will love that and the polish sausage soup) and I would then do the cowboy beans, and then….. you get it. I have yet to try a recipe from this site that we did not love. Thank you and God bless you for blessing us.
I love cabbage so that would be one that I would want to try but we do hot dogs a lot when unexpected guest drop in and we want something that would feed a lot of people.
Cowboy Beans… no mess, no fuss
I have tried the hot dogs for a school luncheon and it worked great ! I definitely try the hot fudge peanut butter cake next !
P.S. keep doing the videos…they are great.
