    I'm a huge fan of 'freezer to crockpot' cooking. I've been doing this for about 4 months now, and I don't know how I survived before finding this website!

    http://whoneedsacape.com/2013/09/20-meals-in-2-hours-slow-cooker-freezer-meals/

    I take out the freezer bag of 'whatever' just before I leave for work (still frozen) and I pop the frozen hunk in my crockpot, when I come home, dinner is ready! I do all my prep on a Sunday afternoon, maybe every four or five weeks. I shop the sales. And I also make a huge pot of wild/brown rice, and once it's cooked and cooled, I portion it out into freezer bags. When we're having rice, I pop it in the microwave. Seriously easy and yummy!!

    I like to add a packet of onion soup mix on top of a beef roast and add about an inch of water. You can add carrots to it after a few hours. It's super easy and yummy!

    One of my favorite recipes for the crock pot is pulled port.

    Get a small pork shoulder, a can of root beer throw them in the crock on low for 6-8 hours. When you come home drain part of the juice and add BBQ sauce if you would like, but it's not really necessary. Serve on a whole grain bun or over brown rice. Super yummy and simple.

    I really like to make beef stew in a crockpot- Just add 1 lb of lean stew meat, any veggies that you like, garlic powder, 1 cup beef broth, 2 cups water, and one packet beef stew seasoning. Cook on low for 8 hours.

    I made up a recipe for Buffalo Chicken Chili- 2 cans white beans (drained), 1 lb skinless chicken breasts or tenderloins (No need to cut up, it will fall apart when it finishes cooking), 2 stalks sliced celery, 2 grated carrots, 1 sliced onion, 1 Tbsp cumin, 2 cups chicken broth, 1 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce (Franks, Heinz, and Louisiana are all good brands) , 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning. Add all together in crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours. When serving sprinkle with blue cheese and offer extra celery sticks.

    Enchilada chicken is basically the same recipe, except sub black beans for the white beans, a can of green enchilada sauce instead of the hot wings sauce and ranch packet, add 1 cup corn kernels, and cook. Stir 1 cup light sour cream about 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle the top of bowl with shredded cheddar or queso when serving.

    My veggie soup is great in a crockpot- I add one package of turkey smoked sausage sliced,large can of tomato juice, whatever veggies I feel like adding, fresh cracked black pepper, garlic powder, several cups of water and cook on low 8 hours.
    Hope these help!

    Didn't go through all the recipes but here's a hint to cut some of the calories in pulled pork - I used to use pork butt roast for my pulled pork in the crock pot but switched to using pork tenderlion - this cuts a lot of the fat out of the equation

    my favourite chicken recipe is to take a whole chicken, stuff it full of garlic cloves (will be a lot, the original recipe says 40), then cook on low all day. The chicken ends up with a mild garlic flavour and is delicious.

    Love this one! My husband is picky and doesn't usually like new recipes I make, but he actually has requested I make this several times!!! It is great to put all the ingredients in a big ziplock and put in the freezer to have on hand whenever you need something. I have made it after being the freezer, and it tastes amazing (some things say you can do that, but don't actually taste good).
    Chicken Tortilla Soup
    Ingredients

    1 lb chicken (boneless, skinless breasts)
    1 15 oz can diced tomatoes with chilies
    1 10 oz can enchilada sauce (make sure it’s gluten free if that’s an issue for you!)
    1 medium onion
    1 4 oz can chopped green chilies
    2 cloves minced garlic
    1 tsp cumin
    1 tsp chili powder
    1 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1 bay leaf
    2 cups frozen corn
    1 TBS chopped Cilantro (for garnish)
    Corn Tortilla chips
    Directions:

    Put all ingredients in a gallon zip lock bag (except the cilantro and tortillas) and freeze. Thaw, add 14 oz chicken broth or stock and 2 cups water and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4-5 hours. Shred chicken after cooking, serve with cilantro and crushed tortilla chips.

    To get even more protein, you could add any kind of bean that you would like.

    Enjoy!! :)

    Bumping for later. I'm trying to learn how to make stuff on the crockpot. Are you supposed to cook the meat first or put it in raw? I'm always worried I'll mess up.

    Western Chicken

    1 Package of Drumsticks or Thighs are good too
    1 Bottle of Western Dressing (Light can be used)
    1 Cup Brown sugar

    Spray Crock with Pam or user a Crock Pot Liner. Place frozen chicken drumsticks in the crock, pour entire bottle of western dressing over the chicken, and sprinkle brown sugar over chicken/western dressing. Cook on LOW 8-10 hours. Serve with Rice or Pasta--or eat it in with sandwich bread or tortilla's (My family enjoys this several ways!) .

    Warning-chicken will be done and more than likely be falling off the bone.
