I'm looking for easy crockpot recipes…I feel like when I get home I'm trying to spend time with my DS2, get dinner ready, and we end up eating ridiculously later than we should.

I have a couple of recipes, but typically, it all tastes the same.

Share yours with me please!

Thank you!
 
I made this yesterday with stew meat and served it with instant mashed potatoes. It was excellent (btw - I just used my normal go to seasonings of garlic, onion, and seasoning salt).

Tomorrow I will be making a pork butt roast in the crock pot. I just sear the roast and place it in the crock pot with a bottle of BBQ sauce and a cup of water. Cook on low for 12 hours or on high for 8. When ready shred with a fork and serve on buns, tortillas, by itself.

I also make meatballs frequently in the crock pot. I cheat and use Trader Joe's meatballs, but you can make them fresh or use frozen. To the meatballs I had half a 20oz can of crushed pineapple in 100% juice and a bottle of BBQ or Teriyaki sauce. Cook on low for about 4 hours. I serve these with rice that I make in my rice maker. To the rice I add the other half a can of pineapple & a tbsp of coconut oil and it has a pina colada flavor when finished (just reduce the water slightly to conspensate for the juice in the pineapple).

I also make this in my crock pot quite often. I generally omit the hamburger to keep the cost down and we never notice the difference. http://restaurant.food.com/recipe/olive-garden-pasta-e-fagioli-soup-in-a-crock-pot-copycat-31717

I'm in love with the new electric pressure cooker I got from my parents. Frozen chicken breast cooked thoroughly in 15 minutes!

Beef stew in 45 minutes with only one pan dirty!

My sister has been cooking whole chickens in hers (30 minutes) and she loves it.

What brand of electric pressure cooker did you get? I've been contemplating purchasing one of them.
 
Cranberry Pork Roast:
Onions...I usually use the vadalias
Cranberry sauce...not the whole berry kind....
Pork roast

I usually feed 7, so I get either a larger pork roast or two smaller ones. I first put 2 onions, sliced up, on bottom of crockpot, put roast on top and then I add 2 cans of cranberry sauce gel. I cook on low for 6-8 hours.


This one is really bad for you I'm sure...lol....but every now and then:

Brown sugar kielbasa
Kielbasa, I cut up into about 1/2 pieces...I usually use one of the big packages
1 box of brown sugar

Do not add anything else...no liquid or anything, Spray crock with Pam. Add kielbasa and brown sugar on too. High 3-4 hours or low 6-7 hours. I serve over egg noodles with broccoli.


I also have done frozen chicken breasts and just dumped salsa over or sweet baby rays BBQ sauce......for quick and easy meals too.

Hope that helps!
 
Salsa chicken

2 chicken breasts
jar of salsa
can of black beans, rinsed
half bag frozen corn

Put everything into the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8hr. Pull the chicken breasts out and shred them. Add back to the crockpot and mix. Serve over rice or with sour cream, etc on soft tortillas.
 
Besides using a few from crockpot lady's blog, we do

Chicken tacos:
Chicken thighs
crushed garlic
can of diced tomatoes with basil, oregano and garlic
can of tomatoes with mild green chilies

then all you have to do is heat up taco shells (I melt pepper jack cheese in mine)

Chicken cacciatore::cool2:
just dump all ingredients into the crockpot!


Chicken chipotle::cool1:
Chicken thighs
salsa
garlic
can of corn
sliced bell peppers
a couple chipotle peppers (I buy a can then freeze the rest)

just serve with yellow rice.

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 teaspoon chicken bullion
1 cup beer
1 cup water
1/2 onion, sliced
Dash of salt
Dash of pepper

Your choice of boneless pork chops or chicken breasts (we prepare it bother ways), then serve with buttered rice or egg noodles. I prefer the rice.
