THANK YOU EVERYONE for the previous recipes. Trying to be a better meal planner, so this is awesome!
As a previous poster suggested, I do something similar.
Bag of frozen chicken breasts (I used good ol Walmart-NOT precooked)
1 can of Rotel
1 package of taco seasoning.
Do NOT add additional liquid.
Threw it all together in the morning before work, came home and had dinner for our family AND company. Great for tacos/taco salad/ect. and 8yr old approved.0 -

Sweet Potato Burritos!
4 sweet potatoes
1 package of frozen corn
2 cans of black beans, thoroughly rinsed
2 jars of salsa
4 oz of soft cream cheese
Put on slow cooker on high for 6 hours. Delish, vegetarian, and kids love it! Any other vegetarian ideas?
Yum! Do you just toss the sweet potatoes in whole or mash them up?0 -

Nice thread!
Here's a super easy "Chicago Italian Beef" that my Midwestern family and I have been throwing together for years:
- big hunk of beef... you could use chuck roast, London broil, basically anything thick!
- one green pepper
- one onion (white, yellow, or sweet)
- basil, oregano, salt, and pepper
Directions:
- Brown the beef in oil
- Simmer in crock pot with enough water to cover the meat for 6 hours
- Add sliced green peppers and sliced onions (a whole or halves, depending on your taste)
- Add a dash of dried basil,oregano, salt, and pepper
- Simmer for another hour and a half to two hours
It's done when the meat shreds apart easily and the veggies are soft!
Throw on a bun and you're done!
- Or - Just eat as is!0 -

and BUMP!
I do a really simple crockpot ribs:
(I'm only cooking for two; change as needed)
1 package of beef boneless short ribs
1/2 c Splenda brown sugar
1-2 t garlic powder
1-2 t onion powder
season salt
1 onion
1/2 c Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce
1/2 c Kraft light bbq sauce
splash of Bud Light Select 55
I put in my crockpot liner (always first!). Combine brown sugar, garlic and onion powder (other spices as you like). Slice my onion into rings. Put a layer on the bottom. Use season salt of choice on ribs. And then use my combined spices as a rub on the ribs. Place them in the crockpot, put remaining onions on top. Pour in BBQ sauce. Add the select 55 (beer on hand I guess) and a little water. Cook on low for 7 hours. Yummmm!0 -

Need more specifics...Do you cut up the sweet potatoes or leave them whole?, peeled or leave skin on?, what size package of corn?, 15oz cans of black beans?, what size jars of salsa? Why are they called burritos?
Yes, I am serious.0 -

Ok....love the recipes. But I am new to the boards. What does Bump mean?
Bumping means it will save this forum under "My Topics" so you can find it again later.
My 11 year-old tells me it means "bump up my post." When I first saw it, I thought it was in reference to a fist bump like if you liked what someone said! LOL!0 -

One can of Rotel is enough? Did you put it on taco shells or something?0 -

Yes, I am serious.
Cube them, maybe about 6 cups corn? You really can't have too much or too little. I think it's 15oz salsa, and 15 oz cans black beans. And put them in burrito shells (or lettuce wraps if you want to lower the calories/carbs) I hope that cleared it up!0 -

I made this in my crock pot last night - not only does it taste pretty good, but my apartment smelled AMAZING when I woke up today!
2 1/2 cups peeled and cubed macintosh apple
3 cups peeled and cubed sweet potato
1 1/2 cups cleaned and cubed butternut squash
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon honey
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread apple, sweet potato, and squash on a greased cookie sheet, then sprinkle with the pumpkin pie spice. Roast for 10-15 minutes.
Transfer the roasted veggies to a crock pot and top with 2 cups of vegetable broth, a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and a tablespoon of honey. Cook on low for 6 hours. Mash vegetables for last half hour of cooking, or use a blender after the soup has cooled to give it a smooth, creamy texture.
4 servings, 165 calories each.

well, i have not read all, but besides chilis, stews, roasts etc... one fave is bbq turkey. its so easy..a caveman could do it.
just put turkey breasts or whatever in crockpot with about a cup or so of your fave bbq sauce and either water or broth to thin it out. cook until tender shredd by hand. add more bbq sauce to liking.0
