    The easiest, no fuss thing I have made in my crockpot:

    Spicy Italian Sausage, 1 jar of premade tomato sauce. I use chunky garden vegetable sauce with onions, garlic, and green peppers. ( you can add your own veggies the last 2 hours of cooking)

    High on 4 hours or low on 6 hours.

    I seriously never want to eat sausage cooked any other way than in a crockpot. I cant even explain how perfect the sausage was and the tomato sauce was the yummiest ever.

    Last night I made London Broil with potatoes and carrots.
    Add 1 cup water, 2 cubes beef bulion, 1/4 of an onion, 2 tablespoons worcestshire sauce, and Montreal Steak seasoning. Low for 8 hours.

    My apartment smelt absolutely divine. I wish I added some flour to thicken the sauce, still yummy none the less.

    Fyi if you are making chicken in the crockpot a great idea is to ball up 3-4 balls of foil to place in the bottom of the crockpot then put the chicken on top up it, it keeps it from sitting in its own fat as it cooks but will be juicy fall off the bone, but not slimy from chicken fat

    :bigsmile: ALSO! After you've taken all the meat off the chicken....put bones back in, fill with water, and whatever spices / vegetables you like and cook on low overnight for homemade chicken stock! Strain in the morning and freeze in small portions.... EASY!

    I have a turkey breast cooking in my crockpot today. I just thaw it and put it in on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. I put the breast side down so it's good a juicy when we slice it up. Typically we season it with salt, pepper, and italian seasoning. Great with veggies for dinner and the leftovers make great sandwiches.

    Slow Cooker Parmesan Risotto
    http://www.livestrong.com/article/464631-how-to-cook-risotto-in-a-slow-cooker/


    Ingredients:

    1/2 onion, chopped
    2 tbsp. olive oil or butter
    1/4 cup white wine
    1 cup Arborio rice
    3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
    Salt and pepper to taste
    2 tbsp. cream
    1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese


    1. Saute the onions in a little olive oil or butter until the onions are translucent. Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring, for about a minute. Adding the wine at this points gives the dish the flavor of wine without any bitterness.

    2. Add the rice to the onions and wine in the pan and cook, stirring, for about two minutes. This coats the rice with the oil and starts cooking the outer layer of the rice, which will help to keep the grains separate as they continue to cook in the slow cooker.

    3. Put the rice and onion mixture into the slow cooker. Pour in the broth and stir in any other ingredients and seasonings such as mushrooms, leeks, asparagus, etc. Stir to combine everything.

    4. Cover the slow cooker and set the temperature control on High. Allow the rice to cook for two hours.

    5. Uncover the slow cooker and stir the rice mixture. Taste to see if the rice is tender. At higher altitudes you may need to cook the mixture another half hour or so. When the rice is done, turn off the slow cooker and stir in additional butter, cream or Parmesan cheese, as called for in your recipe. These final ingredients help to give the risotto its traditional creamy texture.

    Serves 4 (approximately 1 cup per serving)
