You may DEFINITELY enter more than once. (I can use all the help I can get) Please put 'Crock pot Contest' in the subject line of your email, or else I might mistake your entry for another one of my many admirers from Nigeria who wants to give me a bazillion dollars, and your entry might just end up in the trash folder.

Recipe Yield: 6 servings
Prep. Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 7 minutes
Ready in: 7 minutes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar brown
2 each garlic cloves, minced
1 x allspice dash
4 pounds chicken breasts, thighs
1/4 pound mushrooms fresh, sliced
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
11 ounces mandarin oranges can, sections, drained
1/2 each sweet bell pepper sliced lengthwise
1/4 teaspoon ginger ground
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup milk cold
1/4 cup water cold
2 tablespoons orange juice frozen
2 cups stock chicken
1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Marinade: The night before you plan on slow cooking your dinner, mix together the marinade ingredients in a large, closable container large enough to also hold the chicken pieces. When marinade is thoroughly mixed, add the chicken, close container and refrigerate until morning.
In the morning place the chicken in the slow cooker and add marinade up to about an inch from the top of the container. Set the cooker on low and cover.
6 to 8 hours later, turn the cooker to high. About an hour later, saute the sliced mushrooms in the margarine or butter. Then add the mushrooms (with pan juices), mandarin sections, green pepper and ginger into the slow cooker and stir thoroughly. Mix together the cornstarch, milk and cold water, then gradually add into the slow cooker while stirring until the entire mixture thickens a bit.
Re-cover the slow cooker and let simmer for 15 to 30 minutes until serving. Serve with baby carrots and small new potatoes.
My favorite thing to make in the crockpot....chocolate fondue...mmmmm
24 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1-1/4 C. evaporated milk
1/4 C. sugar

Dippers: cubed poundcake, fruit (strawberries are the best with this!), pretzels, cookies, marshmallows
Place ingredients (except dippers) into a crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes. Stir well. Cook 1 more hour on low. Use skewers or small tongs to dip into the chocolate. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
One of my favorite crockpot recipes for this time of year is super simple ~

Spicy Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup
Submitted by: Lynn Eberle
"This soup can be served as is or run through the blender for a creamy version. You can adjust the spice to cool it down." Original recipe yield: 6 servings.
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 pound dry black beans, soaked overnight
* 4 teaspoons diced jalapeno peppers
* 6 cups chicken broth
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1 tablespoon chili powder
* 1 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
DIRECTIONS:
1. Drain black beans, and rinse.
2. Combine beans, jalapenos, and chicken broth in a slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, pepper, and hot pepper sauce.
3. Cook on High for 4 hours. Reduce heat to Low, and continue cooking for 2 hours, or until you are ready to eat.
----To the ingredients, I added canned diced tomatoes, chopped onion, lime juice, cilantro, paprika and ancho chile powder. I did run half of it through the food processor to make it more thick. I really, really liked this, and can't wait for leftovers today! Also, for you high altitude peeps like me, I soaked the beans for about 20 hours and also added about 1 hour on high and 1.5 hours on low to cooking time.
