What do you like to make in your Crock Pot?

[Glynis]

I just did this recipe for my family and they all gave it a thumbs up.

Slow Cooker Chicken Curry

8-10 chicken thighs (I used boneless skinless)
1 jar of your favorite salsa
1 medium onion chopped
2 Tbs. curry power
1 cup sour cream

Place chicken in bottom of crockpot (mine were frozen solid and they worked fine). Pour salsa over chicken. Layer chopped onion on top. Sprinkle with 2 Tbs. curry powder. Let cook on low 8-10 hours, or on high for 5 hours. When chicken is done, remove chicken and keep it warm. Stir sour cream into the crock pot and let warm through. Place chicken back in sauce. Serve over rice.

Tip: If your curry powder is old (like mine) place the 2 Tbs. in a microwaveable bowl and microwave it for 10 seconds. This releases the oils and gives you much more flavor.

This will make your house smell heavenly all day long. Definitely a keeper.

Enjoy!

Some I got from here over the years, so I apologize - not trying to take credit.

CROCKPOT APPLE CAKE DESSERT

6 apples peeled, cored and sliced
sugar
cinnamon
8 oz of yellow cake mix
1/4 c melted butter or margarine


Put slices of apples in CP. Pour half a package of dry cake mix over apples. Drizzle butter over cake mix. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar mixture over that and cook on low 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Keep checking and it's done when the apples are soft.

I plan on trying this today, but I am a little nervous about it. How is it supost to end up? Putting the dry cake mix over the apples and not mixing in any oil or anything sounds suppect. Is it a soild cake when it is done, or more of an apple crumble? Still looking forward to it.

I love fall and winter. It's a good excuse to break out the crock pot and makes cooking dinner so much easier. There is nothing like coming home from work with the smell of food in the air!!!

 

[mickeylove2]

I put beef ribs with bottle of BBQ sauce, roast w/ can of cream of mushroom soup, & chicken breast w/ cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup and brown rice are my favorites. Can't wait to hear what everyone else loves so I can get more ideas!!!

 

[marshallandcartersmo]

What a great thread!! How could I have missed it???

thanks for starting OP!!

 

[Heidict]

I forgot one of our favorites that I got out of a cookbook years ago.

BBQ Ribs and Beans

5-6 pounds Country Style Ribs, or boneless ribs
2 bottles BBQ sauce (regular, not hickory)
1 jar Jalapeño Jelly (don't let this scare you. It adds a great taste but doesn't make it hot.)
1 onion, chopped
2-3 cans kidney beans (I have also used pinto and black beans, with great success)

Dredge ribs in flour and brown. Mix together bbq sauce jelly. Put beans, ribs and onions in crockpot and mix in sauce. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Makes a great dinner with some cornbread and a salad.

 

[piglet too]

My families favorite, is super simple too.

Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless)
Family size Cream of Chicken soup

We use various cooking times (and "temps") all depends on when I start it. It is super moist and the kids can not seem to get enough of it. For the five of us, I have to use 7-8 breast to make sure there is a chance for leftovers.

 

[jajuan]

The absolute best thing I have EVER had in crock pot was some boneless pork spare ribs with a packet of seasoning that I bought at the Albuquerque airport. I now order them by the dozen. It is called Pig Boy Willy famous carne adovada mix. I don't know if I'm allowed to list phone numbers on here...but if anyone wants it, pm me

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1 bay leaf
1 14 oz. can chicken broth (I actually use 32 oz. for more liquid)

Spicy Beef Roast

Wow!! All of these sound great! Now, how to choose which one to make first!

 

[rosiep]

I cook "roast" beef in mine. I put the roast in and cook it all day, I only add butter and salt/pepper. It is delicious! My best friends sister was painting our house in the spring and I fixed this for dinner one night, she still talks about how good it was.

Ok..this quote was from two years ago..but if you're still on board....how much butter are we talking here? I think simplicity is wonderful!

 

[ChrisnSteph]

One of my families favorite meals is a "stroganoff" I make.

In the crockpot I put:

A chuck round roast
1-2 packets of dry onion soup mix
A couple of cans of cream of mushroom soup
A can of water

I let it cook for several hours, then I add a small tub of sour cream. Let it cook for another hour, then we shred the meat, boil some egg noodles, and voila - stroganoff! My kids love it.

 

[#1hockeymom]

so many great recipes, so little time! I'm going to make a grocery list for quite a few of these! THANK YOU!!

 

[marshallandcartersmo]

recipe please!!

 

[Glynis]

Here is a crock pot recipe for Pot roast that will be the last you will ever try!

3 pound roast (or 2 smaller ones)
1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix
1 envelope italian salad dressing mix
1 envelope brown gravy mix
1/2 cup water

Place the roast in the crock pot. In a small bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients together, and pour over the roast. Cook on low about 6-8 hours depending on your crock pot.

I usually put some carrots on the bottom of the crockpot first, and then do the meat and gravy, and then put potatoes on top and let it all cook.

This is so yummy!!!

 

[cc1013]

What a great thread.

Here's our favorite crockpot recipe:

ITALIAN SAUSAGE

5-7 Italian sausages (i use mild)
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 med onion choped
1 green pepper sliced
some olive oil
1 -28 oz can Contadina sauce
1- 15 oz can Contadina sauce
1 small can tomato paste

saute onions with some olive oil, add to crock pot with tomato sauce,
paste, and grn. peppers

brown Italian sausages with garlic, and add into crock pot. Cook for 4-6
hrs.

they will get real tender, can cook them less if you want them less tender.
I like mine so that you dont even need a knife.

*serve with your choice of pasta
*you can always add more garlic to sauce if you like it more garlicy- I do!!
*if you like it thicker, add some puree or paste; thinner, add water, but
its thin already
