Any one reccomend a great crockpot recipe?

I love my crock pot - makes life so easy! And it makes it super easy to shove veggies in everything! I start by making a bean loaded ground turkey chili that whips up a weeks worth of lunches with enough for a back up in the freezer (about the size of a large wonton soup container). When it's done I first remove the back up & add 2 cups of frozen mixed veggies; every day I eat a bowl of chili I replace the amount eaten with a cup or so more of mixed veggies. By the end of the week it's pretty much a veggie bean stew/chili. Years ago I bought the Cooking Light Crock pot cook book - I just Googled for it & found this link:

Good luck & enjoy!

bumping!

As I type I have 4 thin sliced chicken breasts on top of 4 diced potatoes, a bag of baby carrots, sliced stalks of celery, and 1/2 of a chopped onion. I put a small can of cream of chicken in there as well. I seasoned the whole thing with low sodium Ms. Dash, pepper, and garlic powder. Not really following a recipe, hope it tastes ok!

Any replacements for "Cream of...."? Its so HIGH in sodium.

Bump for later.

bump...I would never run out of crock pot recipes here!!!

Wow I tried one today that turned out great, Vegetarian French Onion Soup. The crockpot caramelized the onions perfectly, and my husband, daughter and I just gobbled the soup down for lunch. At 500 calls per serving when I entered into MFP, and 17 g of protein. I'm stuffed!

I always make Hawaiian chicken the in the crock. I put 3 or 4 chicken breasts in (I usually use frozen and start it in the morning, but you can use fresh too, it just cooks quicker and has less water in the crock). Pour on one large can of crushed pineapple (look for it in pineapple juice NOT in syrup) and one bottle of some type of honey BBQ sauce. Set it on low for about 6 hours (high for 4) If they are frozen go on high for 6 hours. I like to shred my chicken in the crock and throw some rice in for the last 30 minutes to soak up some of the water but you could also eat them whole. I guess I need to figure out how good for you it actually is, but it's rather easy to make and it tastes great!

My favorite recipe is so easy it's ridiculous. I put 2 chicken breasts, bone in, skin removed if you want, in the crock pot. I pour a half a bottle of prepared marinade (watch the sugar and fat, I use a generic barbecue sauce) and set on low for up to 8 hours. (It can be eaten in 4 hours if need be.) Add any seasonings you want as well, such as hot sauce, salt and pepper, garlic, etc. But just the marinade works great. Takes just a minute to make and the meat is falling off the bone!
