Slow Cooker Boats

I have been watching this phenomenon for about a week and just had to jump in.

The boats are actually stand and stuff soft taco shells, recently released here.

The concept is simple, fill them, place in slow cooker on high for around 90 mins to cook.

First up is a quiche mix:
Combine 2 eggs a dash of milk, cream and or sour cream and whisk

Chop ingredients and place on bottom of shell
Could include onion, capsicum, shallot, ham, bacon, mushroom, cheese  etc

Por the egg mixture over the ingredients

Put in a sprayed slow cooker lined with baking paper

Set on high for 1.5 hrs approx. Cover and cook

Cooking beans and lentils

This site has some great links for cooking these two staples.

CARAMEL FUDGE

CARAMEL FUDGE
2 blocks dream chocolate
2 pots jersey caramels
1 can condensed milk
1Tbs butter.
- Pre heat slow cooker on high for at least 10mins
- Put butter in and then the rest of ingredients
- Cooked this on high for 1 n half hours stirring every 15mins
Note: May be worthwhile melting jersey caramels in microwave or stove top first as they take a whirl to melt.

Baked Chicken on Corn

This is not a fancy recipe but simply a new approach.

We feed our birds lots of fresh corn so what to do with the left over corn cobs.

Try placing them in a baking dish and add water .

Now place the chicken pieces on top of the corn and oven bake as usual.

I used several chicken thigh cutlets with skin on, seasoned with a mixture of Cajun spices and oven bake at 180c until golden and cooked through.

"If you want more just give me some corn."
