I've been neglecting to start this blog for far too long. Welcome to What We're Eating For Dinner, a blog where I post exactly that. I'll try to include recipes and nutrition info, but I don't really cook by recipe; I cook more by feel and taste so I'll do my best. I do use MyFitnessPal for weight loss, so recipe-sharing may become easier through it.
On tonight's menu:
A Sausage and Potato Soup made in my slow-cooker from stuff I had laying around the kitchen. Some Cream of Mushroom Soup, Cream of Potato Soup, cheddar cheese, baby carrots, potatoes, onion, sliced mushrooms, Italian sausage, milk, water, and spices.
I par-boiled the sausages before chopping them and the vegetables up, and dumping everything into the crock pot. My crock pot is 1.5 quarts, so I filled the end result with milk to top it all off.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
- Small can of Condensed Cream of Potato Soup
- Big Can of Condesed Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1% milk, 3.3 cups
- Sliced Mushrooms
- 2.25 cups water
- 2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 7 italian sausage links
- 1/2 diced onion
Spices (use these or add what you got!)
- Oregano, Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, 2 Bay Leaves, Dill Weed
Cook until the carrots/potatoes are tender. Maybe 6 hours on low, 3 on high?
