Crock pot tips and recipes

sbeltramelli

I do this very simple chunky soup in mine. There is a lot of it, no fat and not a lot of calories.

1/2 bag frozen vegetables (usually the ones with carrots,couliflower,beans,etc) Any will do really, depends on what you like
1 can baked beans
2 sliced carrots
1 large onion, diced
2 garlic cloves
Handful of red lentils( i don't usually soak them before, just wash them)
1 potato (optional, you can add any veg you like really)
1 piece of chicken breat, cut in small pieces, I don't use much of it, and sometimes i don't use any at all and make it completely vegetarian.
1 tsp dried oregano
1tsp dried parsley

I put this all together and cook in High setting for 5 hours or low setting for 6.5 hours.

Crock Pot Re-fried Beans (except they aren't fried!)

3 Cups dry Pinto beans
1 onion diced
9 Cups water
5 tsp salt
1 3/4 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp minced garlic
1/8 Tsp ground cumin

Put all ingredients in Crockpot and cook on high for 8 hours
After done, drain all liquid out but SAVE liquid.

Mash beans (I use a potato masher) then add liquid to desired consistency.
Leave slightly runny as beans will thicken.

Makes approximately 6 cups.

Voila, easy healthy re-fried beans. Goes great by itself, or garnish with greek yogurt, a dash of cheese, salsa.

I make a super healthy vegan soup with chicken broth, beans (anyn kind will work, I used canned navy beans, rinsed and drained last time, but black beans or red beans work great), almost any kind of diced up veggie is great in there (I last used zucchini, green beans, onions, tomato, and red bell pepper). To add something to it I will toss in diced up tofu, brown rice, white rice, orzo, quinoa... whatever you're feeling. It's SO good for you. Any kind of seasoning works--I've done a curry flavored version, sometimes I'll use a more mexican mix of spices, usually use garlic.

I'm sure this is a typo, but its hardly vegan, if it has chicken broth in it...
