Crock Pot/Slow Cooker Recipes

jazzcat55 · February 2013

Apologies if someone has already mentioned this, but this is a great little booklet of light slow cooker recipes. It's one of those they put at the checkout stand at the grocery store. We have already tried at least 5 of the recipes, and they are all excellent! My favorite so far is the curry chicken. Really tastes like something you'd get in a Thai restaurant. Next up is the BBQ beef sandwiches. Now I'm hungry again just thinking about it.

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! I have given up on my slow cooker, because it doesn't seem to matter what I put in it, or how varied the ingredients are... it all tastes the same after 6-8 hours in the crockpot. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong... someone please enlighten me.

I find it helpful to bump up the spices BY ALOT. Don't be afraid to double dried herbs and pepper in a recipe.

Also, My crock pot has a setting so after so many hours it will click over to warm. If something calls for 8 hours on low, I set my crock pot to click over to warm at 7 hours and just let it cruise to the finish line.

Anytime someone posts, it "bumps" the post back up to the top where it is easier to find again.

Didn't look through all the responses so this may already be in here but....

8 boneless pork chops
2 cans reduced fat cream of chicken soup
1 packet dry ranch mix

Cook on low for 8 hours and serve with potatoes and a green veggie.
Or I also wilt some spinach and onion together and just serve over that.

Makes great pork chops & gravy.

Girl, if you ever do have a family that crock pot will become like a right arm. Throw some chicken and any vegetables in it throw in a can or two of chicken broth or any other liquid and some seasoning or onion soup mix or anything else with some flavor and you are good to go. Put the veggies on the bottom and pour in your liquid before you put your meet in and then put seasonings on top of the meat. Then set it on low and go to work. Serve it over rice or shred it and use it in fajitas or soups or whatever like everyone else is saying. It's lean meat and vegetables. So you are going to be good on your calories. The sky is the limit and there are tons of recipes out there on cooks.com or allrecipes.com. If you can learn to use that contraption now, it will make your life so much easier later.
