Taco Soup in the slow cooker (AKA: Crockpot)
I do this one in the slow cooker - you can make it vegetarian - just omit the meat, I've made it both ways.
Brown 1 pound of ground turkey, drain off fat, dump into slow cooker.
Add:
1 can of corn (drained)
1 can of Creamed Corn
1 can of Rotel
1 can of stewed tomatoes
2 cans of beans (your choice- sometimes I do red kidney chili beans, sometimes white beans, sometimes I get the S & W beans with chipotle seasoning on them)
1 packet of Taco Seasoning
2 soup cans (from the corn or beans) of water
Mix well, and cook on low all day - your kitchen will smell AWESOME!!!
I serve with sour cream, Juanita's chips, shredded cheese, and taco toppings (fresh tomatoes, onions, etc).
Hubs loves this soup, and when coming home for dinner can smell it outside and is excited for dinner.

Curry Chicken in the Slow Cooker
I made mine with Thighs- no skin, and bone-in, but the recipe called for boneless thighs that were quartered, and I just put the thighs in as they were.. I think it tasted okay ;}
1 1/2 pounds of chicken ( I just put in 4 thighs without any skin)
3-4 potatoes
1 apple
1 can chicken broth
2 TBSP curry
I chopped up the apple (after being cored) and left the "skin" on, peeled the potatoes and cut them into chunks (you want about 2 cups or more) and mix that all together with the chicken, and curry and chicken broth- I put it in the slow cooker and mixed in there, and put on high for about 5 hours, and then served with rice- normally would avoid the rice with the potato factor, but my boys aren't big on eating everything yet- so getting them to try a bite of everything, and wasn't sure if the curry would be too spicy for them. Thinking next time I'll add more veggies, like carrots, celery, etc. The recipe also said you could cook on low for about 8-9 hours I think, but I didn't have that much time after church/Sunday School.
Sorry, I don't have a calorie count on this.0 -
Roasted chicken in a slow cooker
1 chicken, rinsed and patted dry
seasoning- use whatever you like - I usually use lemon pepper and garlic salt, and sometimes get more creative. Today I used a little pepper, onion powder, garlic salt, and paprika.
season your chicken- in the cavity, and on the outside, place in the slow cooker breast side up
I usually drizzle a little EVOO on the chicken, and maybe give a brief rub
1/2 cup of white wine
(on the liquid side- I tried the recipe with 1 cup of water, then changed it to 1/2 c of white wine, 1/2 cup of water, then just went a heaping 1/2 cup of white wine, and add water if I need to).
cook in slow cooker on high for 1 hour, then on low 6-8 hours, until chicken is done- this will depend on how big the bird is, and your slow cooker.
Hubs loves this one too, says it smells like "Thanksgiving" when he comes home.0 -
These all sound great! Love the crockpot!

**Next time I make this I'm leaving out the pepper and maybe less spicy tomatos. Super spicy!

For fabulous overnight oatmeal:
The basic recipe is:
1 cup oats, old fashioned in my case
3 cups water
1/4 tsp salt
Cook on low for 8 hours.
Do this the night before so breakfast is ready in the AM. Make it plain then add your brown sugar or fruit/milk as you please. Or you can jazz it up in the crockpot. Like pumpkin pie oats - add 1-2 tsp pumpkin pie seasoning, 1 cup pureed pumpkin (canned or fresh - NOT pumpkin pie mix) and a touch of vanilla extract
banana oats - add a large mashed banana, some cinnamon, and 1 tbsp butter. (this is my favorite)

I made this about 2 1/2 weeks ago and it was a huge hit with my family & my Bestie's family! The finished product filled 2- 20oz jars. I've included the link for the recipe...she has great pictures to go with the recipe.

Apple Butter (in the crock pot!)
Ingredients:
8-12 medium sized apples. Use any variety you have. I mixed it up.
1 Tbs. Vanilla Extract
1 Cup White Sugar
1 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp. Cloves
2 tsp. Cinnamon
Directions:
Peel your apples and dice them up. They don't have to be pretty.
Throw the apples in your crock pot with the Tablespoon of Vanilla. You want your crock pot to be full of apples so peel as many as apples as you need for that. Turn your crock pot on low and cook for 6-8 hours. Check it every couple hours to give it a stir and see where it's at. Mine was done more around the 6 hour mark but I think my crock cooks things a bit quicker than others.
Add your white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Give it a stir and cook another 5-6 hours. Mine was ready at about 5. Also stir it around every once and a while. Mine seemed to need it...yours might not!
At this point your house will smell amazingly and your crock pot will look like this!
When you spoon this into containers, please be careful. I don't want you to drop any of this hot stuff on your hand....because that might hurt a lot and make you want to scream and throw your hand around like a crazy lady. It didn't happen to me or anything but just be careful.0 -

I just put my chicken thighs in the crock pot and add 1/4 of the big economy size La Victoria salsa supreme and cook it on low all day. I then have salsa chicken for my burritos, tacos, nachos etc. Easy Breezy!0
