Anyone have any recipes that would be minimal prep/planning? Thanks

    Check skinnytaste.com and if you're on reddit they have a couple of sub reddits for simple crockpot meals here:

    a couple large chicken breasts
    a jar of your choice of salsa
    a can of black beans
    a bag of frozen corn
    taco seasoning
    Cook on low for about 6 hours (longer if the chicken is frozen). Shred the chicken and mix all together.
    Sometimes, after shredding, I crank the crock pot up to high and leave it uncovered for a little to thicken it up a bit.

    I don't ever measure anything, and I make my own taco seasoning, so I just kind of sprinkle it around on top of everything in the pot. I make this a couple times per month, and I eat it over rice, on tacos, in quesadillas, on salads. It's very versatile and full of flavor. Sometimes, I omit the corn and/or the black beans and just have the chicken in the salsa with the seasoning. It literally takes less than 5 minutes to put together and another 5 or so minutes to shred the chicken.

    This is a good one! I love southwest chicken like this, very versatile. To add a little "oomph" to the above, add in juice of one lime and a couple of tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro. You can also substitute lean beef or pork. I usually double the recipe and freeze in ziplock bags.

    I always love just a classic beef pot roast. Let it soak in some beef stock on low for 6 hours in your crock pot with a lot of carrots, and red potatoes. Serve on a whole grain dinner roll with a slice of pepper jack cheese and maybe dump the Sammie into some of the beef broth. Yummmm! Carrots and potatoes come out tender. Perfect dinner for me

    The 3-bean turkey chili from Skinnytaste.com is one of my favorites! It's actually simmering away in my kitchen right now! It makes a lot and the portions are very filling!
