crockpot chicken n dumplings

I have always made chicken n dumplings on the stove in a pot and never in a crockpot. This has become one of my favorite comfort foods since I found this recipe over @ Cooking on Clover Lane.  This recipe I can throw together before I go to work and a hot and comfort dinner is ready when we all get home. Here is what you need:

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves ( i use about 6 pieces of frozen tenderloin chicken)

2 TBS butter

2 cans of cream of chicken soup

1 onion finely chopped

2 packages of refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces

Place the chicken, butter, soup and onion in a slow cooker, and fill with just enough water to cover.

Cover and cook for 5-6 hours on High. About 30 minutes before serving, place the torn biscuit dough in the slow cooker. Cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center.

Enjoy!

Turtle Burgers

Who would have thought to do this with their burgers.  I got an email about how to make this turtle burger from my MIL.  I just wanted to share!

Handmade ground beef patties, topped with sharp cheddar cheese, wrapped in a bacon weave, then the next step, add hotdogs as the heads, legs with slits for toes and tail.

Next step. Place on an oven rack, covered loosely with foil and baked for 20-30 minutes at 400 degrees. A little crispy, not too crunchy...just how a turtle should be, no?

2. meanwhile in a large bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together, then make a well in the middle of the flour mixature and add milk, and eggs, mix until smooth.
3. Transfer batter into a freezer bag and cut end or like I did use an old salad dressing bottle.
