7 Crock Pot Recipes To Impress Your Friends at Friendsgiving

As exciting as Thanksgiving is, Friendsgiving has a different type of excitement that has its own value. Getting together with old friends and eating good food (not from a cafeteria) is like its own special heaven. Although Friendsgiving is amazing, living on a college budget isn’t quite as great. Below are seven easy crock pot recipes to impress your friends at Friendsgiving that you will actually be able to cook- and afford!

1. Crock Pot Mac & Cheese

You can’t go wrong with Mac & Cheese, and having it simmer in a crock pot makes it even better. Just throw in 16 oz of (cooked) elbow noodles, ¼ cup of butter, 3 cups of cheddar cheese (shredded works the best), 3 cups of milk, and 8 oz of Velveeta into your crock pot and set it to low heat. Stir it and put ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese on top. Stir it on and off for the next two hours and check to make sure it is fully cooked after two hours. The time it takes depends on what time of crock pot is being used (typically takes between 2 and 3 hours.)

2. Crock Pot Potatoes Au Gratin

I am personally a huge au gratin potato fan so I feel as though this definitely deserves a spot at the Friendsgiving table. The ingredients needed for this easy recipe are: 5 cups peeled & sliced Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, lots of seasoned salt and fresh cracked pepper, 4 tablespoons of butter, 4 tablespoons of white flour, ½ teaspoon of minced garlic, ½ teaspoon of onion powder, 1 ½ cups of milk, ½ cup of sour cream, 1 ½ cups of grated cheddar cheese, and fresh parsley or chives.

3. Crock Pot Dinner Rolls

Carbs will always have a special place in my heart, most especially dinner rolls. And these crock pot dinner rolls couldn’t be any easier. All you need is a crock pot and some dinner rolls.

4. Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

What would Friendsgiving be without turkey? And the turkey breast is the best part. This recipe only requires you to prepare the turkey and the gravy and it takes just about five minutes.

5. Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

If au gratin potatoes just don’t do it for you, I have some good news. There’s an equally easy recipe for good old fashioned mashed potatoes. For this recipe you will need: 1 ⅔ cups of water, 2 tablespoons of butter, ⅓ cup of milk, and 1 package of Idahoan potatoes.

You really can’t go wrong with chicken or stuffing and combining the two makes the taste even better. For this simple recipe you will need: 1 ½ pounds of skinless, boneless chicken breasts, 1 15.25 ounce can of sweet corn, 1 10.5 ounce can of cream of chicken soup, 1 box of stove top stuffing, 8 ounces of sour cream, and ½ cup of water.
