slowandsimple.com is a great website for crockpot recipies. A lot of them are already healthy, but you can pretty easily alter them to include like, more veggies or less fattening ingredients.0

Crock potting fits my lifestyle (single mom to 2 children, working full time and part-time) but is so often unhealthy. Any great recipes that are healthy and kid-friendly?
Thank you!
Using a crock-pot doesn't make your food unhealthy. Putting unhealthy food in the crock pot makes it unhealthy.0 -
A BIG hit at my house. We did Cream of Mushroom instead of Tomato soup though. Also, doubled the Velveeta.0 -

www.crockpotgirls.com have a lot of recipes. They're not all healthy unfortunately. They do have a facebook page though, and under the discussion tabs a lot of people post WW or low cal version of them. Also you can get the ideas and then just change up some of the ingredients to make it healthier.0

Nice! I hear bacon on top is pretty good too. Cream of Mushroom is truly one of my favorite things though. I may have to experiment with this one next time.0 -

One of my go-to's is to take a whole chicken cut up. Slice an onion and layer the bottom of crockpot. Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and paprika, lay on top of onions. Use a whole bulb (sometimes I use two) of garlic. Separate into cloves and just lay on top of chicken. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high 5-6. The chicken will fall off the bone. I usually serve it just like that with veggies or mashed potatoes the first night. Then I skin it and shred it and you have chicken you can use for chicken salad, chicken taco salad, chicken enchiladas, homemade chicken noodle soup....well, you get the idea. And you can usually get a whole chicken for around $6-8 and have multiple meals.0

Bacon would be the bomb! I was tempted to line the pot with slices of Spam next time.

Do a search for weight watchers Cuban pork and sweet potaoes. Its a huge hit in my house. No one believes its a weight watchers recipe. And I normally hate sweet potatoes but these are so good!0

Honestly, one of my faves, that is great on salad or in burritos/wraps. My kid loves it.
Costa Vida Chicken
1 small bottle Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp cumin
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken breast
Cook all together in a crock pot for 4 hours, shred meat and cook 1 additional hour.
This recipe can be easily halved but make a full batch and freeze the leftovers for another meal.0 -
Why does everyone say crockpots are unhealthy? This is what I put in my crockpot:
Meat+veggies+herbs+salt & pepper+other spices. Sometimes liquid, like wine or stock. Seriously.0 -
When they are on sale, I will buy a whole roaster chicken...I use my favorite seasonings and herbs, quarter up a small to medium onion and place it in the cavity of the chicken, place it in the crock pot, squeeze a half of a lemon over it, place this lemon in the cavity after I squeeze it, put the lid on and turn it on low when I leave in the am for work (7ish) and it is so yummy and tender by the time I get home (5ish)...Then all you have to do is make side dishes...YUM!0

I think we need to suggest a recipe section AND a search button....0 -
I must say though, I do want to try to experiment with crock potting boneless beef ribs with bbq sauce. Surely there's a way to do it. If pot roast can be crock potted, beef ribs can....unless you're one of those "Fear the fat" people, then I can't help you. Sorry.0

THANK YOU! I've been confused by this too. It's really the same with every food decision we make... use the crock pot recipe that is simple and healthy or use the recipe with gobs of cheese and sauces. Not hard at all.Why does everyone say crockpots are unhealthy? This is what I put in my crockpot:
Meat+veggies+herbs+salt & pepper+other spices. Sometimes liquid, like wine or stock. Seriously.
I go home at lunch regularly and put in food into the crock pot, flip it to cook 2.5 to 3 hours, and then supper is at least 3/4 done when I'm home.
Typical:
Ground Chicken
oregano
salt and pepper to taste
basil
seasoning salt to taste
diced onions
diced red bell pepper
diced green pepper
1 whold white mushroom sliced
1 jar of Organic Spaghetti sauce (most recently I've made my own sauce and canned it)
Come home boil water and cook spaghetti noodles... voila healthy supper. Using ground chicken eliminates over half the fat and over half the calories as using ground beef.0 -
I've also made several roasts via crock pot.
Step 1. Rub roast with salt and pepper, seasonings of choice (mine is Montreal Steak)
Step 2. Put in Crock pot
Step 3. about 1/2 cup water
Step 4. Put lid on Crock pot
Step 5. Turn to high for 3 hours.
Serve with steamed broccolli and Carrots.0
