Skinnytaste.com search "slow cooker" ... the barbacoa beef is delish ... Just like Chipotle!
My own personal fav ... 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (seasoned w salt, pepper and garlic powder)
1 can (28oz I think, the big can) Las Palmas green enchilada salsa

Pork loin and beans:
Empty 2 cans of great northern beans or cannellini beans into a crock pot and add ½ cup of your favorite bbq sauce and add one chopped onion, cumin and cayenne to taste. Take a 2 pound pork loin and season with cumin and cayenne and coat with bbq sauce. Then press shake and bake onto pork loin. Cook in crock pot for 6 to 8 hours on low. To crisp pork you can remove and place in the over under the broiler for 15 minutes if you like.0 -
saving this for later to look through all the recipes. i love using the crockpot!0

I like to make a veggie soup in mine!
1lb extra lean ground beef
2 cans of diced potatoes
2 cans of diced or whole tomatoes
1 can of tomato paste
1/4 a bag of frozen corn
1/4 a bag of frozen green beans
1 bag of frozen mixed veggies
Salt
Chili Powder
I use a lot of Chili Powder and I salt generously (I would prefer to drink a lot of water than eat bland food!). You can really use whatever veggies you want in this recipe these just happen to be what is normally in my freezer (steamer bags). The only thing you have to do is cook the beef before hand. I like to cook mine all day on low. I have noticed that if you don't salt it enough while it is cooking it won't taste right.
I also like to make chicken & dumplings in my crockpot. Throw some Chicken breast, Cream of mushroom (consdensed) (optional), cream of chicken (condensed), garlic, salt, and Chicken broth (to thin) in a crockpot and cook for 8 hours on low. Add a can of biscuts to the mix an hour before. Be sure to cut them up in small peices as they tend to clump and they get bigger!
The easiest one is BBQ Chicken w/ Pineapple. Just put the three ingredients in and add some hot sauce if you'd like. We eat this on buns and then use the leftovers to make BBQ chicken pizza w/ Great Value pizza dough mix.
Sorry for not having measurements, but I've learned that it's easier to use you own judgement when it comes to consistency. Some people like things thick and some like them thin. Also, seasoning is always to taste. I love salt and chili powder, so you may not like how much of those two I would put in!0 -
Yum! can't wait to try some of these0

I just started using a slow cooker and am loving it.... these are great recipes!0

Made this one yesterday, adapted from the original (non-slow cooker) recipe from no recipes.com (norecipes.com/blog/2010/02/08/japanese-curry-rice-recipe-video/). This is one of the all-time Japanese and Japanese-American comfort foods.
Japanese style chicken curry (makes 6-8 servings)
2 Sweet Onions
4 Carrots
4 Small Yellow Potatoes
1 Apple
2 lb Chicken Breast
4 Cups Water
1 Tsp Garam Masala
1 Tbsp Coarse Sea Salt
1 Cup Frozen Peas
+ Curry Roux (see below)
Thinly slice onions, cut carrots and potatoes into chunks, and put the veggies in the slow cooker. Core and peel apple and finely grate into the cooker. Place chicken breasts on top, and season with salt and garam masala (or you can substitute curry powder). Pour in the water, and cook on low for 6 hours
Just before the 6 hours is up, make the Roux
Curry Roux:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 Tbsp Garam Masala (or Curry Powder)
3 Tbsp Tonkatsu Sauce (or Worchestire Sauce)
2 Tbsp Ketchup
Over medium low heat melt butter and stir in flour to make Roux. When smooth, add Garam Masala and let toast for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the sauce and ketchup.
Take chicken out and shred using two forks and return. Take a cup of the liquid from the slow cooker and mix into the roux and then pour back into the slow cooker. Add the peas and let it cook for another hour.
Serve over rice or noodles.0 -

I just made the "refried beans without the refry" from allrecipes.com
Ingredients:
1 onion, peeled and halved
3 cups dry pinto beans, rinsed
1/2 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
5 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin, optional
9 cups water
Directions:
Place the onion, rinsed beans, jalapeno, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin into a slow cooker. Pour in the water and stir to combine. Cook on High for 8 hours, adding more water as needed. Note: if more than 1 cup of water has evaporated during cooking, then the temperature is too high.
Once the beans have cooked, strain them, and reserve the liquid. Mash the beans with a potato masher, adding the reserved water as needed to attain desired consistency.
**I didn't add any salt at all. I used a chicken bullion cube instead (just tossed it in the pot). I also added a whole tsp of cumin, and other reviewers added some chili powder too. I used a can of chopped green chilies instead of a jalapeño because that's what i had. I did half black half pinto beans and it honestly came out FANTASTIC. It would have been good with a bay leaf while simmering.
Very flexible recipe, makes enough to have now plus freeze for later, low in calories (allrecipes says 15 servings are 139 calories each, but when I added it to MFP it was only ~90 calories for 10 servings...so IDK who to believe but either way it's healthy low cal. With rice, it makes a full protein.0 -
bump for later!0
