3 tsp. cumin powder
1 tsp. oregano

Smothered Steak Strips
1 1/2 lb. lean chuck or round steak, cut in strips
1/3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 lg. onion, sliced
1 (1 lb.) can tomatoes
1 (4 oz.) can sliced mushrooms
1 tbsp. molasses (optional)
3 tbsp. soy sauce
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen green beans
Toss steak strips with flour, salt and pepper; place in crockpot. Add onion, tomatoes, mushrooms, molasses, and soy sauce. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 hours on low. Add green beans 30 to 45 minutes before serving. Good served with rice. Serves 4 to 6.
Chicken Cacciatore
1 lg. onion, thinly sliced
3 lbs. cut up chicken
2 (6 oz.) cans tomato paste
4 oz. sliced mushrooms
1 tsp. salt
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 to 2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1 bay leaf
1/2 c. water
Place onions in bottom of crock pot. Add chicken pieces. Stir together remaining ingredients. Pour over chicken. Cook on low 7 to 9 hours; high 3 to 4 hours. Serve over spaghetti.
Apricot Glazed Chicken
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/3 cup bottled Russian dressing
1/2 envelope onion soup mix
6 frozen chicken breasts (not thawed)
Mix the first 3 ingredients together. Place chicken in crock pot and cover with apricot mixture. Cook on low 5 to 6 hours.
Easy Baked chicken
3 lb broiler fryer (whole) chicken.
Wash & pat dry. Stuff with your favorite herbs. I like throwing lemon grass in the cavity. Whatever is fresh and sounds good works. Salt & pepper the thing. If you like mushrooms, cut some up and put 'em in the pot. Add about 1 c water. If you like, rub some butter on the chicken and add a few squirts of lemon juice. Cook on low 4-6 hrs. Again, dinner's done! (It's hard to "overdo" this, so you can leave it on low all day while you're at church).
Note: Use the crockpot to get chicken super tender for shredding into chicken salads, enchiladas, etc.
