    one of my favorites is: 2 chicken breasts in the crock pot, add a cup of salsa, a can of black beans, a cup for frozen corn, taco seasoning and any other seasonings as well. once the chicken is cooked shred it and you can put it on top of brown rice, quinoa or put in tortilla shells. i have also thrown in a block of cream cheese with it and you could add green/red peppers and onion....

    MMM this sounds good!!

    I usually do some kind of cilantro lime shredded chicken in the slow cooker. That way, it's really versatile. I can use it for tacos/Mexican, Asian dishes and put it on top of a salad. When I'm tired of it, I make a creamy Thai coconut soup or tortilla soup with it and add a load of veggies!

    1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (or chicken thighs for more flavor)
    6 tablespoons lime juice
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    3-4 cloves minced garlic
    1/2 cup quality chicken stock
    4 tablespoons sriracha sauce
    Generous sprinkle of salt and pepper
    1/2 (packed) cup fresh cilantro -chopped

    Place the chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Combine lime juice, chili powder, garlic, chicken stock, sriracha, salt and pepper; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until chicken is tender.
    Remove chicken; cool slightly. Shred meat with two forks and return to the slow cooker, add cilantro; heat through.

    Your good to go! You can always adjust the heat. I tend to add a few chopped jalapenos to mine while I'm shredding it. I like things spicy! Enjoy!

    Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew

    Makes at least 6 servings:

    3 medium sweet potatos chopped into approximately one inch pieces
    2-3 medium carrots peeled and chopped
    2-3 Chicken Breasts chopped into approximately one inch pieces
    1 can of diced tomatos or whole roasted tomatos
    1 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
    1 tsp black pepper
    1 tsp paprika
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1/4 tsp nutmeg

    Combine all and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

    Top it with a little fresh basil if you want. Sometimes I'll put a little dried basil in crock pot, too.

    My husband loves it, my kids eat it up, it's one of my favorites... super easy and healthy! :)

    A beef roast, I usually get whatever is on sale. 2 big cans(if you can find them) of Campbells Beef Vegatable SOup. otherwise I use 4 small cans. put it all in crockpot and cook while you are at work. soup thickens like a gravy. then I make mased potatos and a vegtable when I get home. don't add any water. My hubby did it for me one day and added water and it was not nearly as good.

    I made this in my crock pot yesterday. It was super good and my family mowed it back! Also took it for lunch today, and it reheated very well.

    4 pork loin chops (about 4 oz each)
    1 can cream of mushroom soup
    1 envelope dry onion soup mix
    1/2 cup water, chicken broth, or white wine
    1 medium onion, sliced
    1 package mushrooms, sliced

    Put the chops in the bottom of the crock pot. Put the onions and mushrooms on top. Mix the can of soup, dry soup mix, and water together then pour over the top. Cook on low for 8 hours.

    Ran this through the calorie counter and got 350 calories a serving.
    . Can't wait to try this

    Hungry Girl has a great pulled bbq chicken recipe that you make in the slow cooker. I think the basic ingredients for the sauce are tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar,. So good! Look it up!

    Otherwise I haven't had much success with my slow cooker. Most stuff comes out tasting the same!

    This is good. I use Brown Sugar Splenda and it tastes great (I use Brown Sugar Splenda in a lot of sauces, e.g. Barbecue Sauce...same taste, fewer calories:)

    Chicken Curry is another good Crock Pot thing. I don't have a particular recipe...I just put in things I like, e.g., cubed chicken, cubed red potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, light coconut milk, curry powder/paste, etc. Go light on the potatoes and be sure to use light coconut milk to help mitigate your calorie count.
