    I love to make bbq pulled pork in the crock pot.

    Take a pork loin and season it however you want. Take a can of diet root beer and pour over the pork. Let it cook for 6 - 8 hours on high. Drain and seperate the pork with a fork and add your favorite bbq sauce. It is amazing.

    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.
    This was posted on another thread last year and I've made it several times. Everyone loves it! I omit the ranch dressing mix due to the sodium and add a little more of the other seasonings.

    I use mine to make a lot of different soups-- especially Indian dal recipes. If you want to make something with bay leaves or cardamom pods or something you want to strain out before eating, try using a tea ball! I put all those kinds of things in there, then lift the whole thing out when it's time to serve. Then nobody accidentally bites into a whole peppercorn and complains that it's too spicy. :-D

  • Bumping for later, great thread! I've had a crock pot for a while now but don't use it as often as I want to because I don't know what to put in it. Thanks for the ideas everyone.
