Green Beans and Ham
My mother always made green beans and ham in the oven when I was a kid. I just put it in the crock pot. It’s great to have ready when I get up in the evening ( I work night shift). It's almost oo easy....
3- 15oz cans cut green beans
2 cups cubed ham
1 chopped onion
Salt & pepper to taste
Just put it all in the crock pot in the morning and set it to low. Let it cook all day and serve with buttered rolls. Yummy!!
Serves about 4 people at about 210 calories a serving (not including the buttered roll)
One of may favorite fall recipes!0 -
I almost forgot my favorite one…Pork and Sauerkraut
4 lean pork chops
2 cups sauerkraut
1 chopped onion
Put the pork chops in the crock pot and mix the sauerkraut and chopped oinion and put on top of the pork chops. Let cook on low for 4-6 hours. Be sure to use the lowest setting. If you cook it too high the pork chops will fall apart and get mushy. Still tastes good just has an odd texture. I serve it with mashed potatoes . Good old fashioned German meal. Yum!
Serves 4 at about 275 calories each (not including the potatoes)0 -

BBQ Pulled Pork
-2 lbs of pork loin or roast
- 1 cup of BBQ sauce
-1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (or apple juice, whatever is on hand)
Cook on low 8 hours or on high 4.
For more lbs of roast, just increase the BBQ sauce but keep the other ingredients the same.
Last time I made a 5lb roast with one bottle bbq sauce. Delicious and everyone thinks its a family recipe. (shhh)0 -
Go to foodtv.com and get Robin Miller's "CHIPOTLE-LIME-CHICKEN THIGHS AND JAMAICAN RICE AND BEANS" slow cooker recipe (I also made it with skinless thighs and breasts, to cut calories) It's delicious!. and will fit into your diet plan.
Another good chicken recipe is
"SLOW COOKED TEX-MEX CHICKEN AND BEANS"
For this memorable fix-and-forget chicken stew, use a high-quality salsa to save time without skimping on flavor; choose a jar with a short ingredient list.
Ingredients
* 1 cup dried pinto beans, rinsed
* 1 jar (11 ounces) mild or medium salsa (1 1/2 cups)
* 2 tablespoons chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 8)
* Coarse salt and ground pepper
* 1 medium red onion, chopped
* 1 red bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), chopped
* 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream, for serving
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for serving
Directions
1. In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, stir together beans, salsa, chiles, flour, and 1 cup water. Season chicken with salt and pepper; arrange on top of bean mixture. Scatter onion and bell pepper on top of chicken.
2. Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours. (Do not open lid or stir.)
3. Remove chicken from stew; shred into large pieces and return to stew. Serve topped with sour cream and cilantro.
(I served it over rice and omitted the cilantro, which I hate.)0 -
