I change about every recipe I use, to include items I usually have on my shelf.  Instead of making the pizza sauce below (which include the water through the garlic salt), I just use 16 ozs pre-made spaghetti sauce! 1 pound ground beef 1 med onion 1/2 cup water 1 pkg spaghetti sauce mix 2-8 oz cans tomato sauce garlic salt 1/2 tsp oregano 1 can sliced olives 1 can sliced mushrooms 1 cup mozzarella cheese diced onion to taste Brown hamburger and onion, add water and spaghetti sauce mix, tomato sauce.  Sprinkle in garlic salt and 1/2 tsp oregano.  Add olives and mushrooms and pour into a 9 x 13 inch pan.  Sprinkle grated cheese on top of the meat and sauce mixture and pour crust mixture over the top.  Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over crust mixture.  Bake 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Crust: 1 cup mil 1 T oil 2 eggs 1 cup flour 1 tsp salt Mix together.

8 chicken breasts 1 cup sour cream 2 T lemon juice 1 tsp seasoned salt 1 tsp salt 1 tsp paprika 1/2 cup melted butter 1 cup bread crumbs Skin breasts (I use boneless, skinless).  Marinate overnight in sour cream to which has been added salts and paprika.  (I've never done this!!!) Keep in refrigerator until ready to bake.  when ready to bake, arrange in 9 X 13 inch baking dish.  Sprinkle with crumbs.  Dribble with butter.  Cover and bake 325 degrees for 3 hours.  Uncover last 30 minutes.

Even though this is called "crock pot" chicken, I use this recipe as a "skillet" chicken dish.  Just cook the chicken in a skillet and follow the direction below: 4 skinned chicken breasts 1/2 cup water 1 pkg zesty Italian salad mix (dry) 1 can cream of chicken soup 1 8 oz pkg cream cheese Place chicken in crockpot.  Sift over chicken dry salad mix.  Add water and cook on low for 4 hours.  When chicken is tender, remove from pot and cut into bite size pieces.  Add cream of chicken soup to liquid in the crockpot and add the cheese stirring to cream together until all ingredients are smooth.  Add chicken and serve over mashed potatoes, rice or noodles.
