In food - looking for easy crock pot recipes?!
Answers: I am hosting a party for approximately 50 people and would like to know if anyone has any simple and tasty recipes for a crockpot/slow cooker? Any simple hor d' overs would also be helpful. Thank you all so much for your help.

BARBECUE MEATBALLS
1 1/2 c. chili sauce
1 c. grape or currant jelly
1 - 3 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 egg
3 tbsp. fine dry bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. salt
Combine chili sauce, grape jelly and mustard in crock pot; stir well. Cover and cook on high setting while preparing meatballs. Combine remaining ingredients thoroughly. Shape into 30 small meatballs. Place on broiler rack or in baking pan. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well. Add meatballs to sauce in crock pot. Stir well to coat; cover and cook on low setting for 6 to 10 hours. The longer the cooking, the more barbecue flavor absorbed. Serve on wooden picks for appetizers. To serve as a main dish, shape meat mixture into larger meatballs and cook as directed.
Seafood Dip
2 cans (10 3/4 oz each) condensed cream of celery soup
2 c. grated sharp process cheese
1/2 to 1 cup cooked diced lobster
1/2 cup chopped cooked shrimp
1 cup chopped cooked crabmeat
dash paprika
dash nutmeg
dash cayenne pepper
1 loaf of crusty bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
Butter bottom and sides of slow cooker. Combine all ingredients except bread cubes in prepared slow cooker; stir well. Cover and cook on LOW for about 2 hours, or until cheese is melted. Keep slow cooker on LOW for serving. Serve with bread cubes for dipping. Makes 6 to 7 cups.
Italian Beef Sandwiches
The night before, mix in crockpot:
one pkg. good seasons italian dressing
one pkg. good seasons Zesty italian dressing
one cup water
Take a 6-7 pound sirloin or round roast and trim visible fat. Place in crockpot. Turn on low and let cook all nite. The next morning, shred meat with 2 forks and continue to cook for about 4 more hours to let flavors blend into the meat. Serve on long sandwich buns,if smaller sandwiches sandwiches are desired, cut into serving size. This is something that people can easily serve themselves on a buffet. Crisp dill pickles, or pepperonchini are good with it.
Cocktail weiners!!
Really simple. All you do is get the cocktail wieners and bbq sauce and mix in crockpot and heat til warm or hot.
The weiners are precooked, so you only need them in there long enough to get warm.
I have a tendancy to mix diff bbq sauces, but all you need is on bbq sauce that you like.
My family and I love these things. We end up making them about once a week or so. They also reheat fairly well, or can sit on the 'keep warm' setting for quite a while.
