    I use this website a lot for my slow cooker http://www.ayearofslowcooking.com/. This girl got a slow cooker for a Christmas present and declared to use it every day for a year. She's made a book out of it and has been on talk shows. She's pretty funny and tells you how to modify if you don't have an ingredient. You can search pretty easily as well if you have certain ingredients.

    Happy slow cooking!!

    I follow her blog and social media.. great gal! I love her site because its everything you need about slow cookers on one site. I live alone, so the meals, i make I freeze part, use it lunches and other dinners. It's great.

    This was my dinner tonight!
    Crock pot potato soup
    2.5 lbs potatoes diced into 1/2 in pieces
    1 small yellow onion diced.
    4 cups chicken broth
    1/2 tsp seasoned salt
    6 cloves garlic whole and peeled
    1 bay leaf
    1 block low fat cream cheese
    Bacon, chives, and Cheddar cheese for topping

    Put the potatoes, onions, seasoned salt, and broth on the crock pot and stir. Place the garlic cloves on top and stick the bay leaf into the soup. Cook on low 10 hours or high for 5 hours. Remove the garlic and bay leaf. Remove about 1/2 of the soup and mash the potatoes. Return to the pot and add the cream cheese. Prepare the toppings while you let the cream cheese combine. Its high in sodium but so tasty for a cool night. Even my picky husband loves it. Makes anout 6 servings.

    My family loves slow cooker chicken tacos... I use a 3 lb bag of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (usually frozen when i put it in), your favorite taco seasoning, and a medium jar of salsa. Cook on low 4-6 hours and then shred with forks. Delicious! I love it on top of my salad.

    Black Pepper (to taste)
    Garlic Powder (to taste)
    Ritz crackers (about 8) (crushed up into bread crumbs)
    2 Garlic Cloves (finely chopped)
    4 TBSP 2% Milk
    8 oz. Velveeta Cheese (I couldn't find any light - so I used regular)

    Step 1 - Brown your ground Beef.
    Step 2 - Layer bottom of Crock-Pot with Ground Beef.

    Step 3 - Add chopped onion (spread over mixture evenly), garlic cloves and relish.
    Step 4 - Add Velveeta Cheese sliced into cubes on top of mixture - separate evenly on top.
    Step 5 - Add Crushed up Ritz crackers by sprinkling all over top of mixture
    Step 6 - Cook in crockpot on 1.5 hours on HIGH.
