Easy Crockpot Recipes

Some great ideas guys!

My favorite - Chicken Curry

2 chicken breasts
1 tin chopped tomatoes or tub 0% fat yoghurt dependant on type of curry
2tbsp curry powder (whichever type you like)
chopped onion
and I always add a quartered courgette/grated carrot or other veg to hand to add bulk

Cut up chicken and mix with curry powder, onion and veg (if using)
Tip tomoatoes or yoghurt (or mix of both!) into bottom of pot
Add dry ingredients and mix.

I usually do this on low all day.... yum!

Weight Watchers publishes a really great cookbook for crockpot food. I don't have the book, but have borrowed it from a friend. I'm sure you could find it online. The Pork Posole is awesome.

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Chicken-and-Dumplings/Detail.aspx

instead of the dough make dumplings using the recipe on the bisquck box.
add water to cover, and 2 teaspoons chicken boullion granules. use country crock plus calcium instead of butter.
use 98% fat free cream of chicken. add w/e spices you like.

let everything but dumplings sit for 5-6 hours (or however long youre at work lol) and drop dumplings in by the spoonful of dough 30 mins before serving.

i have this under "jovias home made" here ...youll be amazed at the facts!

my FAVORITE is salsa chicken.

2 pounds of chicken breasts
1 large jar of salsa
1 can of whole corn kernels, drained
1 can of black beans, drained

put the chicken and salsa in the crockpot, cook on low for about six to seven hours.

a half hour before, add the corn and black beans.

it's sooo good! i make this at least once a week. sometimes i serve it in either
a whole wheat soft tortilla or i'll use the flatout wraps.

I made this last night. SO GOOD!!!

Glad I found this thread! The weather has been so HOT :devil: lately that I pulled out the ole crockpot last week. Don't enjoy cooking all that much so the 'one pot' meals are sooo wonderful! Meat, potatoes, veggies, etc - it's all in there! :drinker:

Jessica - Thanks for posting about that blog, I can't wait to check it out! I need ideas!

I made this the other day for hubs (he loves ham):

Country Scalloped Potatoes And Ham

8 potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 pound fully-cooked ham, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 package (1 oz) country-style gravy mix
1 can (10 1/2 oz) cream of mushroom soup
2 cups water
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Combine potatoes, onion and ham in a lightly greased crockpot. Combine gravy mix, mushroom soup and water; whisk until combined. Pour gravy mixture over potatoes. Cover and cook on low 7-9 hours (High 3-4 hours). Top with cheese during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

*Note: To prevent darkening, toss sliced, uncooked potatoes in a mixture of 1 cup water and 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar; drain and proceed with recipe.

It was delicious! :drinker:

I am trying out a meatloaf and potatoes & carrots recipe right now. Will post if it's any good!

Yay, that 2 year old Christmas present won't go to waste! Thanks for all the recipes and links!

I own three different sizes of crock pots so I love finding recipes!

Today I have the following in my crock pot:

1 Beef Rump Roast
8 small russet potatoes, quartered
6 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 cube Knorr beef bullion

Throw all in crock pot and add enough water to cover it all. Cook all day on low.
Meat will be tender and juicy and basically fall apart, veggies will be tender. You can strain the liquid and use it as stock for other recipes too.

My own pulled pork sandwich concoction:

1 pork tenderloin roast
1 cube bullion (chicken or beef)
water to cover

put all in crock pot. cook all day on low. remove meat from broth, shred with 2 forks, and then combine with some BBQ sauce of choice. (I use sweet baby rays). Serve on rolls or buns.

:drinker:

I've seen very inexpensive crock pots at thrift shops.

My brain just kicked in - "Stay At Home Mom"?

I've been meaning to pull out my crockpot. I look forward to trying lots of these. Thanks!
