    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.

    Okay, this looks too good not to try! Thank you!

    Just made this last night. Sounds like a lot of ingredients, but easy to make & delicious:

    Latin chicken & blackbeans w/sweet potatoes

    3 lbs. bone in chicken thighs w/skin removed
    2 15oz. cans blackbeans drained & rinsed
    2 lbs. sweet potatoes peeled & cut in 2 in. cubes
    3 cloves garlic minced
    1 red bell pepper chopped
    cilantro
    1/2 c. salsa
    1 c. chicken broth
    lime wedges
    2 tsp. ground cumin
    1 tsp. paprika
    1/2 tsp. ground allspice

    Sprinkle chicken thighs w/ 1/2 tsp. cumin (or to your taste), salt & pepper. Cook in hot skillet until brown on both sides (approx. 5 mins per side). Place chicken on plate. In same skillet, combine salsa, chicken broth, remaining cumin, paprika & allspice (do not heat). Place sweet potatoes, red pepper & blackbeans in crockpot, layer chicken on top, & cover w/sauce. Cook on low for 8 hours. Sprinkle w/cilantro & serve w/lime wedges. Makes 6 servings.

    Have to try this one ... sounds delish!

    EVERYONE TRY THE SALSA CHICKEN! It was SO good...I just served it over rice, but you could serve it with black beans or shred it for tacos.

    In case you missed the recipe:

    1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
    1 can of healthy choice cream of mushroom soup
    1 cup of salsa
    1 packet of low sodium taco seasoning

    Put the chicken in the crockpot and sprinkle the package of taco seasoning on top. Then layer the soup and salsa and let cook for 8 hours on low heat.

    I didn't have a full cup of salsa, so I used some leftover diced tomatoes from the night before and minced some pickled jalapenos and threw them in. My chicken cooked on low for at least 10 hours (I forgot to set the crockpot to "keep warm" after 8 hours) and it was perfect.

    Thanks for the review! I'll be making it!

    bump.

    Red beans and Sausage. Soak beans in water/coke/salt or sugar till soft (coke and salt/sugar aid with this) rinse, put in crock pot with enough water to fully cover, add some coke (helps stop gas too), slice some sausage (i like hillshire farm), add any seasonings you like (i use garlic salt, grilling seasoning, seasoned salt, and pepper) slow cook for 10 or more hours.

    A favorite in our house is boneless skinless chicken thighs with lemon pepper seasoning and cream of mushroom soup.

    Yummy.

    A favorite in our house is as follows:

    4 chicken breasts
    2 cans Campbell's low fat cream soup (we use chicken, but you can use anything)
    1/4 cup cornmeal
    1 TSP flour

    Throw the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour the 2 cans of soup overtop. Cook on low 8 hours or high 4 hours.


    1/2 hour before finished mix cornmeal & flour together. Sprinkle on top of mixture.

    The result? Yummy creamy chicken with a cornbread type crust on top. YUM.

    This sounds really good. Have any idea what kind of calories are in it??

    i've posted this to several people- but its healthy and absolutely delicious! (even better cold!)

    * 2 cans corn
    * 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, uncooked, cubed
    * 2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
    * 1 jar chunky salsa
    * 1/4 cup grated, sharp cheddar cheese (optional)

    cook on low for 8-10 hours.
    add cheese last 15 minutes
    it's probably my favorite meal ever- enjoy!

    one whole onion, chopped
    one green bell pepper chopped

    i made "lazy man cabbage rolls' the other day in the crockpot [could do reg ones as well..

    just chopped up cabbage and onion put it in the crock pot.
    put in some ground beef [broken up so its doesnt cook as a big lump lol
    1 cup of rice
    can of diced or crushed tomatoes poured over top
    and about a can [from the tomatoes] of water poured over top
    set on low and let it go

    check on it at somepoint incase you need more water for the rice..i think i put mine to cook a bit too long and so rice was a bit mushy but still enjoyed it :)

    most recipes call for can of tomato soup but i didn't see the need for the extra cals :)
    its in the data base if you type in cabbage rolls you will see lazyman ones, i think it's like 2 Cups for 200 something cals :)

    easy recipe to adapt to your own tastes.

    I also do pretty much any kind of meat with soup

    so like a roast with onion soup
    chicken or pork chops with cream of mushroom soup

    there are lots of stews, soups, lentil stew, and rice type casseroles out there too if you google :flowerforyou:

    i really need to start using mine more often.


    This may be a dumb question, but keep in mind i suck at cooking...do i have to cook the hamburger before i put it in the crock pot? I would like to make this on monday for the family:) thank-you for helping out this poor cook!

    Some people do and some people don't. Personally, I do because I like the additional flavor and color of browning the meat in a skillet (make sure to add a little salt and pepper while browning). Also, I like to brown the meat so that I can drain off the grease if there is any.

    You can make almost anything in the crock pot! I am also in school and wk full time. My husband and always use the crock pot meal so when we come home from the gym I can scarf and run to school. We make stuffed bell peppers or stuffed pablanos in the crock pot, yum! Just make a sort of meat loaf mixture and stuff bell pepper pour a little tomato sauce on the bottom and on the top cook on low about 4-5 hours. Delish!!
