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.

Love everything about this website! Every day is a treat! Now a chance to win a great cookbook . . . what could be better! Gosh, it’s really hard to pick just one recipe because they ALL are so appealing but I really do want to try the Polish Sausage Cabbage Soup. Sounds so comforting and absolutely mouth-watering delish!

Cowboy Beans!
Whew! I almost didn’t find the end of the comments to make one! I sure didn’t want to single out just ONE of those recipes…then I realized I wasn’t saying that was the ONLY one I would want to try…cabbage or beans…I am an old country girl…most recipe books don’t offer a lot that I would want to make…these sound great!

Two That I Definitely Want to make are the Polish Sausage and Cabbage and the Under The Sea Dip…I know they would be a HUGE success at my home!!!!!
It’s so hard to choose just one! I think I’d try the Italian Chicken first. It’s looks delicious and crock pot meals are so nice when warm weather arrives.
Trying the easy Italian Chicken tonight!
The soup is calling my name!

I would love to make the Hot Fudge Peanut Butter Cake and the Under the Sea dip. Love your recipes & Gooseberry Patch…a double win!
Tough decision … Under the Sea Dip or the Italian Chicken??? OK – the dip!!
All the recipes look good but right now, I have 2 heads of cabbage that I need to use up so I would try the Polish sausage cabbage soup.
Cant wait to try to Polish Sausage Cabbage Soup! Two of my favorite foods in a lovely warm soup!
