Crock Pot recipes

Does anyone have any good crock pot recipes to share?

This one is good, but I prefer to use it with boneless chicken. The bones kind of disintegrate if you use bone-in pieces. That makes it difficult to use the "gravy". Great with rice!

Five Flavors Chicken - Crock Pot
3 - 4 lb chicken, boneless
2 cloves garlic
1/2 c honey
1½ tsp ginger, ground
½ c soy sauce
3 Tbl sherry
½ c crushed pineapple with juice (opt)
2 Tbl cornstarch
Mix garlic, honey, ginger, soy & sherry. (Can substitute orange or cranberry juice.) Dip chicken into mixture. Place chicken in crock. Mix pineapple with sauce & pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6 hours. Remove chicken. Blend cornstarch into juice; cook to thicken.

I don't really have measurements for this, but I do this pork loin recipe that my MIL makes. Open several cans of Great Northern beans, drain them & put in crock. Mix in ketchup, brown sugar & Worcestershire sauce. It should look pretty "soupy" - about the same as Campbell's pork & beans look. Put pork in last & cook on low all day.

For beef - I use either round, eye or bolar roasts. Put carrots in first, then potatoes (quartered) & beef last. Pour Kitchen Bouquet or Gravy Master over roast & potatoes. Sprinkle granular beef bouillon over all. Cook on low all day. I only add water (before KB/GM & bouillon) if the roast is frozen, which is necessary because I have a stone crock.

We also like to cook sweet Italian sausage in spaghetti sauce all day in the crock.

A few weeks back there was a mac n chees crockpot recipe thread and it was great. Also a chicken and rice casserole.

Dill Roast

2 pound roast
2 cups water
2 tbsp dill
1 medium onion
salt & pepper to taste

Cook on high ~2 hours, tehn switch to low ~4 hours. Makes the world's best gravy!

PS My SIL grew up in Trenton and I have an aunt in Woodhaven. Small world!

Here's the one I posted on the cornbread thread. Very easy and good.

White Chicken Chili:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1 c. white beans, rinsed
1 med. onion chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 t. oregano
1/2 t. salt
1 can cream of chicken soup
5 c. water

In a slow cooker, combine all the above ingredients and mix well. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours, until beans are tender. Just before serving, add in:

1 t. cumin
1 4.5 oz can chopped green chilis
1/2 t. hot pepper sauce

(don't add these before or it will take the beans longer to soften)
