Crock Pot Recipes anyone? Also, can I cook a crock pot meal, that's suppost to be on low for 6-8 hours, for 3
to 5 hours on high instead? I wasn't sure if that would burn the food, I just want it to get done quicker than 6-8 hours.

Easy crockpot chicken. Take 3-4 frozen chicken breasts, and put right into the crockpot. Pour 1 can cream of chicken soup over the top of the chicken breasts. As it cooks, the juices from the chicken mix with the soup and make a wonderful gravy. Sometimes I mix a 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup sour cream into the soup before pouring over chicken. So yummy!! I serve it over noodles, or rice, or even mashed potatoes with a vegetable side dish, sometimes some crusty french bread. Its always a winner. (For a larger yield, simply use 2 cans of soup, and more chicken breasts, like 6-8)
It is possible to cut the time for some recipes, but usually it is best to stick to what the recipe says so you don't end up with burnt or dried out food. I tried to speed up a recipe once, years ago, by cooking it on high, and too much of the liquid evaporated and it was baked on to the upper part it took LOTS of soaking and scrubbing to get it clean again. Sometimes I will start the crock pot out early in the morning and leave it on low for a couple hours, and then switch it to high, and this has seemed to work all right, but like I said before, sometimes its best to just follow the recipe and wait the recommended time.
