    easiest recipe ever, i make it once a week:

    2 lb chuck or rump roast-just me and my husband
    8 oz of water
    4 TBSP soy sauce
    3 TSP sugar (i use stevia)
    Garlic-i use the squeeze tube garlic a few good squeezes
    1 onion-can omit

    Put meat in pot, slice onion in big chunks, put over meat. Mix the water, soy sauce, sugar substitute, and garlic, pour over meat. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

    The first night I serve with a side of veggies. I refridgerate the rest and serve the next day over a salad with tomato, onion, cucumber and light blue cheese dressing.

    I estimate 6oz of meat at 300 calories (from MFP data base for cooked chuck roast).
  • Italian-style chicken breasts:

    4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
    1 lb fresh mushrooms
    I can Italian tomatoes (drain off liquid)
    Italian seasoning

    Cook on low 6 - 8 hours. Sprinkle with parmesean cheese and serve with speghetti noodles.

    Day 1 I made BBQ spare ribs in my crock pot, and then saved the leftover sauce.

    Day 2 I took the leftover ribs and meat, deboned it all - tossed it in the crock pot with the leftover sauce. Tossed in a can of B&M Baked beans (28oz.) and let it sit on low for 4 hours. Toss that on some rice, or 'taters. It was SO GOOD. Not fancy but nomnom!

    Wicked Easy Spicy Chicken

    1 Jar of Salsa
    3-4 Chicken Breasts

    ^that is all you have to put it... and it tastes great... served on a salad, shredded on a bun with cheese and veggies, or just eat it as is!

    I also like to add (sometimes), 1 Bud Light Lime, onions, red and green bell peppers, extra spice (franks red hot, etc)...


    Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for about 3.... (it really depends on how much chicken you use and your crock pot)

    Rice with Beef Stew Meat

    6 oz beef stew meat
    2 cups beef broth
    2 Tablespoon lemon juice
    1\2 finely chopped red bell pepper
    1\2 minced red onion (any kind would do, I just always have red onions on hand)
    3 cloves roughly chopped garlic
    Whatever spices you want (I use salt, lemon pepper for my husband, paprika, basil, and oregano)
    1 head of broccoli or cauliflower
    __________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Put all but the broccoli in the crockpot. Set on low for 7 hours or high for 5. 30 min before done add the broccoli. Serve over rice. Sometimes I add a bit of flour to the liquid in the pot to thicken it so I get a nice sauce. Serves 4 - 5 people.

    3 cooked and shredded chicken breast
    1 jar salsa
    3 cans of white kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
    2-3 cups of chicken broth

    Cook on High 3-4 hours or low 6-8.
    It's consider White chicken chili, but I think it's more like a tortilla soup when you add all the extras my hubby adds.
    Top with tortilla chips, shredded cheese, and a bit of sour cream.
    (I eat it plain to keep it healthy.)

    Chicken Fajitas.

    4 4oz boneless, skinless chicken breast
    1 sliced bell pepper
    1\2 sliced red onion
    2 cloves garlic, well chopped
    1\2 pkt taco seasoning
    2 cups water
    __________________________________________________________________________________________________
    You can either roughly cut up the chicken or leave it in whole. Add everything to the crockpot cook on low for 6 hours. If you didn't chop the chicken, carefully pull it out and shred. Put back in the pot for about 30 more min. lightly strain. Excellent with fajita sized tortillas, low fat mexican cheese, and a heaping tablespoon of fat-filled delicious sour cream. I have yet to find a yummy low fat sour cream, but you could sub it if you have one that doesn't taste like crap. This one makes everyone happy at my house and I have extremely picky eaters.
