This is a pretty good one that I made this past weekend for my daughter who was home from college:

1 pork roast
5-6 potatoes (I used large red potatoes)
1 jar of sauerkraut
1 apple, peeled and grated

Peel and slice your potatoes -- kind of thick. Put on bottom of crock pot. Season pork roast with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like. Sear it on all sides on high heat. Place on top of sliced potatoes. Mix togeter sauerkraut and grated apple. Cover roast with mixture. Add 1-1/2 to 2 cups of broth or water. Cook on low for 8 hrs or high for 4 hours.

Remove roast, potatoes, and sauerkraut from crock pot and place on platter. Make gravy with liquid in crock pot.

Made this yesterday with chicken drumsticks instead and it was pretty tasty. 15 minutes to prep and enjoyed by all.

3 pounds chicken wing drummettes, skinned (30 drummettes)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup thick hot sauce
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced

http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/buffalo-style-drummettes-50400000124202/

1. Preheat oven to 450°.

2. Line a jelly-roll pan with foil; coat foil with cooking spray. Place chicken on prepared pan; sprinkle with pepper. Lightly coat chicken with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 7 minutes or until lightly browned.

3. Combine hot sauce and next 3 ingredients (through garlic) in an oval 4-quart electric slow cooker coated with cooking spray.

4. Remove chicken from pan; drain on paper towels. Place chicken in slow cooker, tossing gently to coat with sauce. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or until chicken is very tender. Serve with Blue Cheese Dip, carrot sticks, and celery sticks

I've just bought my first slower cooker (late to the party, i know!), so was thrilled to see this come up. I'm going to have to try some of these ideas.

Lasagna is fantastic made in the crock pot. Layer it in your crockpot as you would if you were making in the oven. Start with a layer of sauce (I make mine homemade from crushed tomatoes and season to my families taste) then noodles, (make certain your noodles are uncooked) then lowfat ricotta and mozzarella. Repeat. Use the lowest setting and voila!

I love my slow cooker! It lets me get a decent walk in with my pup after work, and come home to a delicious smelling house! Then 'Im set for the night! Found this one in a magazine, I'm trying it tonight:

Beef Stroganoff

1.5 lbs stewing beef cut into 1 inch cubes
garlic, calls for 2 cloves minced, but I put in enough to my taste
1 med onion chopped
2 cups of sliced mushrooms
1/2 tsp of salt, pepper, oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme
14 oz beef broth
1/2 cup sherry or beef broth
8 oz sour cream
2 tbsp cornstarch

Just brown the beef in some oil, about a tbsp each batch. best to brown cubes in 2 batches. Mix up veggies and spices in pot then lay beef on top. Pour broth and/or sherry over meat. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Then mix cornstarch in with the sour cream and add to crock pot for another 30 mins...serve over hot noodles. I'm using the broad yoke less egg noodles! Enjoy!
Hopefully it's good!

This is a simple recipes I took off Allrecipes.com. You can easily add to this or change it around but as is its pretty simple and my kids like it.

4-5 lb Bottom Round roast (I have used different cuts as well)
1 pkg of dry onion soup mix
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
1 1/4 cups of water

Cook on low for 8 hours and it will shred up nice.

bump ... "you had me at crock pot"

If you own a crockpot, the recipe books you absolutely MUST get are the "Fix It and Forget It" series. So many delicious recipes in there (my favorite book of the series is the "Fix It and Forget It: Five Ingredients" one). They're virtually idiot-proof (a necessity for me), cover any meal you could possibly have to cook for (and any set of ingredients), and contain variants for almost every single recipe.

The last recipe I made using those was just the other day, "Beef and Mushroom Stew" (doing the ingredients from memory here, so bear with me):

4lbs stew meat
2 cans sliced mushrooms
2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 packet beefy onion soup mix
1 cup red wine (alternate: 1 cup beef broth)
minced garlic to taste
1 small box quick-cooking tapioca

Dump everything in the crockpot, mix it up, and cook 8-10 hours on low (or if you use ones with the preset timers, Preset 1 which equals 1 hr on high, then 8 hours on low).

This VANISHED when I made it for hubby, roommate, and me. I'm trying to figure out a lower-sodium version, but oh God it was so good, I didn't care.

1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 cup white wine

Mix everything but the chicken and place the chicken on top of the mixture. Cook on low 5-6 hours.

I love to use my slow cooker, but sometimes struggle with recipes but now I've seen on here I may have tea sorted for the next few months..lol. Some lovely recipes, thanks. If I get any I shall post too.

Spend the $3 bucks and buy crock pot liners. You can find them next to the aluminum foil at the store. Easy peasy no clean up afterwards.

Definitely use skinnytaste. Make a big pot and freeze leftovers for lunches or dinner later.

Absolutely agree on the liner idea! I use it for things that typically stick, maybe not so much a roast but Spanish Rice, the Taco/Enchilada type recipes... I love them, so handy and easy to clean the crock after!:happy:

Put some chicken thighs (breasts would probably work also) in the crockpot with some stewed tomatoes and spices of your choice. The chicken should eventually fall off the bone. Pick out the bones and serve over pasta. Kind of chicken cacciatore. Delicious!
