Some great ideas guys!

My favorite - Chicken Curry

2 chicken breasts
1 tin chopped tomatoes or tub 0% fat yoghurt dependant on type of curry
2tbsp curry powder (whichever type you like)
chopped onion
and I always add a quartered courgette/grated carrot or other veg to hand to add bulk

Cut up chicken and mix with onion and veg (if using)
Tip tomoatoes or yoghurt (or mix of both!) into bottom of pot
Add dry ingredients and mix.

I usually do this on low all day.... yum!

Weight Watchers publishes a really great cookbook for crockpot food. I don't have the book, but have borrowed it from a friend. I'm sure you could find it online. The Pork Posole is awesome.

I would recommend that everyone check out this cool blog.

www.365daysofcrockpot.com

She is a SAHM that cooks from her slow cooker for a year and reviews the recipes. It is great for ideas, but it's also good because she gives a review of the recipes too. Sometimes things I saw on her blog looked really good, but then I didn't have to wait 8 hours to find out if they were. She tells you when stuff is nasty. Check it out if you are a slowcooker!

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Chicken-and-Dumplings/Detail.aspx

instead of the dough make dumplings using the recipe on the bisquck box.
add water to cover, and 2 teaspoons chicken boullion granules. use country crock plus calcium instead of butter.
use 98% fat free cream of chicken. add w/e spices you like.

let everything but dumplings sit for 5-6 hours (or however long youre at work lol) and drop dumplings in by the spoonful of dough 30 mins before serving.

i have this under "jovias home made" here ...youll be amazed at the facts!

my FAVORITE is salsa chicken.

2 pounds of chicken breasts
1 large jar of salsa
1 can of whole corn kernels, drained
1 can of black beans, drained

put the chicken and salsa in the crockpot, cook on low for about six to seven hours.

a half hour before, add the corn and black beans.

it's sooo good! i make this at least once a week. sometimes i serve it in either
a whole wheat soft tortilla or i'll use the flatout wraps.

I made this last night. SO GOOD!!!

Glad I found this thread! The weather has been so HOT :devil: lately that I pulled out the ole crockpot last week. Don't enjoy cooking all that much so the 'one pot' meals are sooo wonderful! Meat, potatoes, veggies, etc - it's all in there! :drinker:

Jessica - Thanks for posting about that blog, I can't wait to check it out! I need ideas!

I made this the other day for hubs (he loves ham):

Country Scalloped Potatoes And Ham

8 potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 pound fully-cooked ham, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 package (1 oz) country-style gravy mix
1 can (10 1/2 oz) cream of mushroom soup
2 cups water
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Combine potatoes, onion and ham in a lightly greased crockpot. Combine gravy mix, mushroom soup and water; whisk until combined. Pour gravy mixture over potatoes. Cover and cook on low 7-9 hours (High 3-4 hours). Top with cheese during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

*Note: To prevent darkening, toss sliced, uncooked potatoes in a mixture of 1 cup water and 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar; drain and proceed with recipe.

It was delicious! :drinker:

I am trying out a meatloaf and potatoes & carrots recipe right now. Will post if it's any good!

I own three different sizes of crock pots so I love finding recipes!

Today I have the following in my crock pot:

1 Beef Rump Roast
8 small russet potatoes, quartered
6 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 cube Knorr beef bullion

Throw all in crock pot and add enough water to cover it all. Cook all day on low.
Meat will be tender and juicy and basically fall apart, veggies will be tender. You can strain the liquid and use it as stock for other recipes too.

My own pulled pork sandwich concoction:

1 pork tenderloin roast
1 cube bullion (chicken or beef)
water to cover

put all in crock pot. cook all day on low. remove meat from broth, shred with 2 forks, and then combine with some BBQ sauce of choice. (I use sweet baby rays). Serve on rolls or buns.

Pork Roast Tenderloin
Cover with Chicken Broth
Add sliced Onions & Carrots
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Cook on low all day-the longer you cook it, the more tender it gets-falls apart

YUMMY!

Does anyone know where I can buy a new glass/plastic top for a crockpot? I want one now and don't want to wait to order one.

Thanks,

I've seen very inexpensive crock pots at thrift shops.

Yesterday I made Creamy italian chicken--6 ckn breasts, one envelope of italian dressing mix-- put in crockpot for 4 hours on high (I put in the frozen breasts) one hour before serving add a can of cream soup and 8 oz of cream cheese, I shred the chicken at this point. Serve over rice, potatoes or noodles. Yummy!

This sounds fantastic as does the Lazy Man cabbage rolls! Will be adding these to my "must try" list!

I put in a port roast, sprinkle a packet of Lipton onion soup over the top, add a couple of inches of water or chicken broth around the edges and cook on low for 10 hours. 1/2 hour before it is done i throw a whole 4 oz can of diced Ortega chilies on top. I take it out of the crock pot and shred when it is done and drizzle some of the juice over the meat to keep it moist. We usually have it in warmed tortillas with shredded cheese, avocado, tomatoes, green onion and light sour cream. This is one of my favorites to serve for a crowd. I just put whatever fixings we are having in bowls buffet style. Everyone makes their own. It is delicious! The leftover pork makes delicious chili verde enchiladas!:flowerforyou:

I've been meaning to pull out my crockpot. I look forward to trying lots of these. Thanks!
