I got a crock pot (slow cooker) for Christmas. What are your favorite recipes to make with this?

    “Refried” beans from the crockpot. Simple, only a few ingredients, satisfying, freezes well. I use half black beans and half pintos. Husband not a jalapeño fan so I use a can of green chilis.

    Suggest going light on the salt til you’ve made it.

    Drain before mashing, and save the liquid. You’ll probably need to add some back. This thickens quickly as it cools.

    I also sometimes just stick chicken breast or pork loin in with bbq sauce. Two ingredients. Can’t get any easier.

    Roast with broth, quartered potatoes, baby carrots sliced celery, sometimes will add a can of diced
    Tomatoes or squeeze of tomato paste and either toasted onion seasoning or herbes de Provence.

    Crockpots are wildly simply, and tenderize the worst, toughest cuts.
