hello MFP World

I could do with some help, I finally have my slow cooker (actually so excited) I wondered if any of you could share your recipes, I LOVE chicken and fish so would love your ideas

Thanks all

I highly reccomend having a look at http://www.reddit.com/r/slowcooking!

The great thing about slowcooking is, you don't really need a recipe. Just dump in a bunch of vegetables, a big piece of meat and some broth/seasonings. Let it cook for a a couple of hours (usually like 6-8 hours on low/med - look it up) and have a delicious dinner ready when you get home from work/school etc.

Still, there are so many more things than stews etc. you can do with it so check out the link

What he said. I was surprised to learn what I could cook in one. Good luck!

google crockpot recipes, there's some good ones there but casseroles and things are the same as in the over, jut seal the meat or brown it first x

I've had 2 great dinners from my crock pot this week!

Yesterday morning I threw in some ground chicken, a can of tomatoe sauce and a can of mushrooms for spaghetti sauce! The worst thing was the sodium levels in the tomato sauce.

The other day I threw in some frozen chicken breast (your meat does not have to be thawed out before hand) and a can of green mexican chile salsa and a little bit of water! When I got home, I cooked some rice and steamed broccoli!

BAM! Super easy! Dinner is ready when I get home from the gym and my 2 year old from daycare! Crock pots are a mom's best friend (along with my george foreman grill) :bigsmile:
