[hegsag]

I love using my crockpot - especially on nights that my daughter has after school activities. I can't remember the name of the dish but my husband's favorite is:

4-6 chicken breasts topped with
taco seasoning &
salsa

Cook for 6 -8 hours on low. Take chicken out. Stir in sour cream until is creamy - put chicken back in. I usually serve with rice that has beans in it! Simple yet yummy

What are you planning on cooking? Chicken, pork, beef? I have lots of recipes to share

Very easy roast:

Put roast in (any kind). Sprinkle one packet of Lipton Onion Soup mix on top. Cover with one can of Cream of Mushroom Soup. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. It makes its own gravy that is YUMMY. I usually serve it with rice or mashed potatoes.

I can do chicken or beef! I am also curious for any ham recipes, I have never cooked a ham but may give it a whirl.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

I do a variation of this w/o the seasoning (nor the sour cream at the end) and I throw in a sliced green or red pepper and then we eat them a fajitas w/flour tortillas. YUMMY too

HAHA. I variate this one too.....I would throw my baby carrots and some red pototoes in there and then the whole dinner is DONE

Here is one w/pork chops

Boneless pork chops (I find that the thick ones work best because they don't dry out)

1 pack dry onion soup mix
1 can golden mushroom soup
3/4 can of water

Mix the 3 above together

Slice onion, put at the bottom of crock, throw chops on top, pour sauce and cook on low all day. I serve with white rice & peas

 

[a1tinkfans]

wow, these recipes look YUMMY!!

I just usually use my crock for Turkey Chili, or some ribs with BBQ sauce...I gotta try some of these (if I can get the No salt variations).....

I have my crockpot going right now. I have a marinaded (garlic and herbs -- pre-done) pork loin, with potatoes and green beans. Yea! Dinner will be ready with no fuss. I don't know what we'll have for dessert. I'm trying for something on the healthier end of the spectrum.

I often do the same thing as you - only substitute the beans with carrots (my kids won't eat beans).

Pulled pork with root beer sauce.

I KNOW that sounds weird, but trust me, it's AMAZING. (My kids even eat them, we tell them they are crabby patties.)

* 1 2-1/2- to 3-pound pork sirloin roast
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon pepper
* 1 tablespoon cooking oil
* 2 medium onions, cut into thin wedges
* 1 cup root beer*
* 6 cloves garlic, minced
* 3 cups root beer (two 12-ounce cans or bottles)*
* 1 cup bottled chili sauce
* 1/4 teaspoon root beer concentrate (optional)
* Several dashes bottled hot pepper sauce (optional)
* 8 to 10 hamburger buns, split (and toasted, if desired)
* Lettuce leaves (optional)
* Tomato slices (optional)

Directions

1. Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut roast to fit into a 3-1/2- to 5-quart crockery cooker. Sprinkle meat with the salt and pepper. In a large skillet brown meat on all sides in hot oil. Drain off fat. Transfer meat to cooker. Add onions, the 1 cup root beer, and garlic.

2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours.

3. Meanwhile, for sauce, in a medium saucepan combine the 3 cups of root beer and the chili sauce. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 2 cups. Add root beer concentrate and bottled hot pepper sauce, if desired.

4. Transfer roast to a cutting board or serving platter. Using a slotted spoon, remove onions from cooking juices and place on serving platter. Discard juices. Using 2 forks, pull meat apart into shreds. To serve, line buns with lettuce leaves and tomato slices, if desired. Add meat and onions; spoon on sauce. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

*Note: Do not substitute with diet root beer.


I never even bother browning the meat. I forgot to the second time I made it and honestly couldn't tell the difference, so I just skip that step.

Chicken Marsala

4 or 5 chicken breasts

1/2 red onion chopped

1 can of cream of mushroom soup

3/4 to 1 cup of marsala wine

sliced mushrooms

put the chicken in the crock w/ some salt and pepper and some garlic powder. Mix the wine and soup together and pour over chicken. Let cook for 4 or so hours. I add the mushrooms about 1/2 way through or else they fall apart. I serve over rice.


Chicken Taco soup


1 can corn
1 can black beans
1 can tomato sauce
1 can chicken broth(or beer)
2 cans of Rotel
1 package of taco seasoning
3 chicken breasts

Pour all ingrediaents into crock and place chicken breasts in. Cook for 6 hours, take chicken out and shred it and put it back in. Serve with a scoop of sour cream and some chips.

I also just throe chicken breasts in there with a jar of bbq sauce and then shred the chicken.

A spicy way to enjoy pork chops:

Brown 4 to 6 boneless pork chops and put them in the crockpot. (I prefer thick pork chops but it also works with thin cut.) Add 1 can (14.5 oz) DelMonte basil, garlic, and oregano seasoned diced tomatoes. Add 1 packet dry onion soup mix and 1 can of chili beans.

Cook on high for about 5 hours. I like to have the pork chops and baked potatoes and spoon the bean/tomato mixture on top of the potatoes. Add a sprinkling of shedded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

Great on a cold winter day and I love that it's one of the few crockpot recipes I've found that doesn't include cream of something soup. (But the pot roast recipe above is the only way I like pot roast!)

How many of you (besides me) bring their crock pot on vacation so their dinner is done after playing all day? I always stay in a condo that has a full kitchen. It saves me a ton of time at the end of a busy day. They even make crock pot liners that I use only when on vacation to make clean up a snap!

Thanks for starting this thread. Unforunately my favorite recipe was the Pot Roast with the cream of mushroom soup which was already posted. Although I serve it over egg noodles. . I'm new to crock pots so hopefully I'll have some recipes to share soon.

I so the same thing but no taco seasoning or sour cream.

After it cooks all day, I make some rice, then put the chicken/rice and some shredded cheddar cheese in a pre-heated burrito............DELISH~!

R the beans in the crock? Do you use fresh, frozen, can? Do they cook all day and not get too mushy?
