This is our favorite:

ITALIAN POT ROAST

Ingredients

i use my slow-cooker / crock-pot around 4 times a week, my favourite is pork in apple gravy.

boneless pork shoulder or leg
2 apples (pink lady are good in this)
onion
carrots
celery
and any other veg you have in your fridge

i put the slow cooker on high add the vegetables and place the pork on top, i do not add any water at this stage, i turn it down to low and leave for around 4 hours, turn the pork over and add around 100/200ml water, leave for another 2 hours.
when the pork is cooked and you can pull the meat off take it out and leave on a plate to rest, add hot water to veg in slow cooker (depending on how many you are cooking for) i use around 1 pint and add 2 spoons of apple cider, whizz the gravy up in a blender and pass through a sieve if you want, but i dont.

when you have served up the pork pour the apple gravy onto the pork

this can also be made with pears and pear cider

i also make chilli, beef brisket, stew, meatballs, curry and ham with coke

I make everything in the slower cooker, ribs are the best though. Stick your rib whatever bbq sauce you want and stick in on high for and hour then low for 5 more and the fall off the bone.

you can also do a few chicken breasts instead of beef to be healthier... I love the cream of mushroom soup in the slow cooker!!

brittanybark

my favorite is chicken and rice

cream of mushroom soup 2 cans.
A can of water
4-5 chicken breast

let cook 3 hours. add pepper salt

add in wheat rice and let cook another couple of hours

this is very healthy, easy, and cheap



I do spagghetti sauce in crockpot too
very easy to let it cook on low all day and come home and make the wheat pasta.

Put a pot roast in, a can of beefy mushroom soup (campbell's) and spoon 1/4 jar of giardinera over the top of the beef. No need to season. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Sometimes I add baby carrots and red potatoes.

My wife and I have done chicken breasts and salsa a couple times.

3 lbs. chicken breast
2 regular size jars of salsa
1 salsa jar of water

Combine ingredients in crock pot. After I add the salsa I fill one jar with water and add that also. Cook.
I have also added egg noodles to the crock pot 10 minutes before it's done for a little extra, but the bad thing doing it this way is the pasta will over cook, but it thickens it up nicely.

I need to look through this thread for some more recipes!
