Hi all,

I am making macaroni/spaghetti sauce in my crock pot today. I just threw in my favorite stuff for sauce, some browned lean ground beef and frozen peppers/onions and topped with fresh parsley. When I get home all I have to do is cook the macaroni.

Nothing fancy, but it sure makes a good quick dinner.

I think I'm going to have to try this, crockpot recipes would make my life so much easier.

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.

Easy Buffalo Chicken

Throw in your crockpot -

Chicken Breasts
Franks’ Buffalo Wing Sauce
Celery Salt
Onion Powder

Cook until you can pull apart chicken.

Add in Laughing Cow Cheese at end of cooking process.

You can eat it in a bowl or add to a Wheat Bun.

VERY VERY YUMMY!

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!

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.
