    I am making beef stew in the crock pot tonight - carrot, onion, potato, peas or corn, and some lean sliced steak. 1 box of low sodium beef broth and cook on low for 5 hrs.

    I've got a turkey ham in my crockpot today, along with some green beans. Not great if you are watching your sodium though!

    2T. EVOO
    Large Yellow Onion, diced
    Mushroom slices (Portobella or White), optional
    6 cloves of garlic, peeled, crushed & chopped
    Pinch of iodized sea salt

    Step 2:

    Oooo, nice thread!

    Here are my fav slow cooking combos:

    1 lg potato, 1 head of cauliflower, 1 leek, nutmeg and white peppercorn

    1/2 pumpkin, 1 lg sweet potato, stir in a can of whole tomatoes at the end, and cinnamon and ground cloves

    2 c of dry chickpeas (then soaked), 1 lg eggplant, 2 stalks of celery, 4 tomatoes, cumin and paprika

    I just cut it all up in chunks, putting in heaviest first, and top it off with filtered water. I add the spices and herbs only at the very end of cooking (about 8-10 hrs). When it is done and begins to cool, I blend it all right in the pot with a hand blender.

    Oh, and just in case, I learned the hard way that garlic does not take well to slow cooking and, if added, should be sauteéd and added only at the end.

    Ok, so I just discovered this one & it is awesome.

    Crockpot cheesy scallped potatoes & "ham"

    6-8 medium idaho potatoes, sliced thin
    1 1/2 lbs. turkey ham (or regular if you like), cubed
    Can cheddar cheese soup
    1 c. lowfat shredded cheese (I used cheddar jack)
    Medium onion, chopped

    After cutting everything up, place half the onion & potatoes in the crockpot. Sprinkle w/pepper & garlic powder, then cover w/half the shredded cheese. Layer the rest of the potatoes & onion & season w/some more pepper & garlic powder. Pour entire can of cheese soup on top & spread out, then cover w/the rest of the shredded cheese. Cook on low for 8 hours & enjoy.

    PS: This recipe tastes even better the next day warmed up.

    not sure if anything similar to this has already been posted but this is a fave of mine for my slowcooker

    cubed lamb
    tin of chopped tomatos
    4 cloves of garlic
    chopped peppers
    chopped red onion (i use a lot of onion and pepper to bulk it out)
    some salt and pepper
    a squirt of sweet chilli sauce

    i call it spanish stew...no idea why! it just seemed to stick in my head when i made it!
    i dont brown the meat or anthing, just bung it all in, make sure the meats covered well with the sauce. i only cook it for 6 hours but thats cause my slow cooker seems to heat up quite a bit even on the low setting. and i serve it with brown rice
