    Black Beans
    1 onion, chopped
    2 -3 cloves of garlic, chopped
    1 poblano pepper, chopped
    1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
    (additonal dried peppers chopped if you like)
    1 bag of dried black beans, rinsed
    3 -4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped (or use the entire can like i do)

    Throw all ingredients in the slow cooker, cover with water or low sodium chicken broth.

    Cook on low for 8-12 hours (overnight works for me)

    I will en blend up half the bean mixture, add more chikcen stock or water and you have a really rich and flavorful black bean soup.

    I use basically the same recipe minus the poblano, and it's delicious. Good post!

    Thanks so much for sharing all these recipes! I can't wait to try some of them.

    My all time favorite slow cooker recipe is...

    Roast with Tators and Carrots
    You will need....
    * Rump or bottom round roast
    * 4 cans tators
    * 4 cans carrots
    * everglades seasoning
    * seasoned meat tenderiazer
    *2 cups water

    place roast in slow cooker...sprinkle seasonings over roast. Add the water. Cook on low 5 hours. Add tators in and cook another hour. Then add carrots and cook another 30 mins to hour.



    Not really a healthy recipe but you could easily make it healthy!

    here are my fav (and whole 30/paleo approved)

    For all these recipes, if you prep them and put them in the crockpot the night before and have it marinade in fridge overnight it tastes MUCH better :D


    Chili

    1.5lbs of grass fed ground beef

    1 green pepper

    1 large yellow onion

    1 red pepper

    1 yellow pepper

    1 tsp of chili powder

    1 tsp of cumin

    1 tsp pepper

    1tsp kosher salt

    1 cup of pure pumpkin

    1 cup beef broth


    chop onion and peppers (set aside)

    brown meat in pan

    drain grease

    cook onions and peppers in pan for 5 minutes

    Add meat and pepper mix to crockpot

    add spices, broth and pumpkin

    Stir

    cook in crockpot on low for 6 hours


    Chicken Soup:

    4 large chicken breast

    5 cups chicken stock

    3 cups chopped carrots

    3 cups chopped celery

    2 large yellow onions

    *add mushrooms or other vegies you like


    Place chicken on bottom of crock pot

    Add stock and vegies over chicken


    Cook on low for 2-2.5 hours (time varies for crock pot. Mine is done by 2 hours). Remove chicken and shred. Return to crockpot and cook on warm for 1 hour.


    Hot Chicken

    3 large chicken breast

    2 cups coconut milk (unsweet, plain)

    1 cup hot sauce (check ingredients, no sugar. I use aldi brand)

    I make a super healthy vegan soup with chicken broth, beans (anyn kind will work, I used canned navy beans, rinsed and drained last time, but black beans or red beans work great), almost any kind of diced up veggie is great in there (I last used zucchini, green beans, onions, tomato, and red bell pepper). To add something to it I will toss in diced up tofu, brown rice, white rice, orzo, quinoa... whatever you're feeling. It's SO good for you. Any kind of seasoning works--I've done a curry flavored version, sometimes I'll use a more mexican mix of spices, usually use garlic.

    If it contains chicken broth, it isn't vegan. Sorry for being pedantic, but that's what I'm like.

    I agree. If it contains chicken it's not vegan or vegetarian. Fix the problem by using vegetable broth or tomatoes

    Wow. These are amazing. I work over 12 hours some days and rely on my crock pot!

    I love cooking ham as well in the slow cooker. They turn out amazing and are great for protein. :happy:

    :flowerforyou:
    My cousin fed this to us when we were up in Virginia visiting her. I've made it several times and my mom made it at our Christmas party and for my grandparents. I ran this through the recipe thing on here, and it comes out to 265 calories a serving if there are 6 servings (which is approx a bowlful). The only person who doesn't like it is my sister, and that's because she doesn't like black beans.

    Cream Cheese Chicken Chili

    2-4 chicken breasts (I usually use 3 fresh, but can also be frozen)
    1 can corn, undrained
    1 can Rotel, undrained (I use Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles)
    1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
    1 pkg ranch dressing mix
    1 tsp cumin
    1 tbsp chili powder
    1 tsp onion powder
    1 8 oz package cream cheese

    Lay chicken at the bottom of the crock pot. Drain and rinse black beans. Add black beans, corn, and Rotel on top. Add in spices and mix up. Lay cream cheese on top of it all and cover. Cook on low 6-8 hours. The cream cheese won't melt during the cooking process. When it's done, mix the cream cheese in and shred the chicken (which is super easy at this point).

    This all fits in my super tiny crock pot very nicely. I like to eat it by scooping it with blue corn tortilla chips! I have been considering adding in cayenne pepper to make it a bit spicier. It is very much on the mild side of my scale.
