Slow Cooker Cauliflower, Cheese and Bacon Soup

We tried this yummy soup today in the slow cooker and enjoyed it. It's very simple to put together and then the slow cooker takes care of the rest. 

Here is the recipe.

2 heads cauliflower, chopped

1/2 pound bacon, browned and chopped

1 onion, chopped

2 cans cream of mushroom soup

3 cups milk

1 lb velveeta cheese

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

pepper to taste

garlic powder to taste

Combine all ingredients and cook on low for eight hours. 

Enjoy!

Notes - If needed up to a cup of water can be added as the soup cooks. I added the water at the beginning and wished I hadn't. Also, I didn't add any salt and thought is was great the way it was. And this is from a person who nearly always adds more salt to her food.

3 1/2 cups water

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 can apple pie filling

Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Oats

I am not a morning person and it's always hard for me to manage to serve much more than cold cereal first thing in the morning. But with this recipe we can have something nice and warm on these cool fall mornings because I can put it in the slow cooker the night before and let it cook overnight.

1 cup steel cut oats

3 1/2 cups water

1 apple, peeled and chopped

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Spray inside of slow cooker with cooking spray. Place the steel cut oats, water, apple, butter, cinnamon, brown sugar and vanilla extract in slow cooker, stir until sugar is dissolved. Cover and cook for 6-7 hours for firm oats or 8 hours for softer texture.
