(Sorry if this has already been posted, but we love it so I wanted to share)
Men's Health Lamb Curry
Time: At least 3 hours, unattended
Homemade curry powder**
**We usually just use purchased Hot Madras Curry powder
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp peeled and minced ginger
2 lb boneless lamb shoulder, cut into chunks
1/2 cup rice-wine vinegar or other mild vinegar
1 cup chicken stock
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1. Add all the ingredients except the cilantro to a slow cooker and set the heat to high. (If you'll be out for a while, set the heat to low.) Cover and simmer for at least 3 hours, until the lamb is tender. If the mixture dries out, add water.
2. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and garnish with the cilantro. Makes 4 to 6 servings
You can also sub coconut milk (not light!) for the chicken stock. And I usually add almost twice as much ginger. So good.0 -

1 Jar Salsa
1 (or 1/2 packet depending on your opinion) Packet of Taco Seasoning
4 Whole Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts
1/4 cup Water
Throw it all in the crockpot and let sit for 8 hours on low, or 3-4 hours on high! If you want it done faster than 4 hours, brown each side of chicken breasts in a skillet for 2 min on each side, dice or cut into 4 pieces and then place in crockpot with other ingredients.
I seriously love this simple recipe, the chicken is always super moist and flavorful. I use it on salads and for fajitas!0 -

Another crock pot recipe I make all the time is sort of like carnitas...I just throw this in and let it cook on high all day:
Pork Butt
Sea Salt
Liquid Smoke
GOOD salsa verde (i.e. not canned...fresh, if you make your own, or else a refrigerated fresh container of it)
Sliced red onion
Splash of tequila, if you have some handy.
Cook all day, then take desired amount of meat out, shred it, put on a broiler pan with some sliced red/green/yellow peppers and onion, some more salsa, and roast/broil for about 10 minutes, until the top gets crispy. Towards the end, add some grated Monterey Jack cheese. Eat on top of shredded lettuce (or in tortillas, if you eat those!)0 -

This is also good with a can of black beans thrown in.

Bump for new ideas this season0

>>Roasted chicken in a slow cooker .
1 chicken, rinsed and patted dry
seasoning- use whatever you like - I usually use lemon pepper and garlic salt, and sometimes get more creative. Today I used a little pepper, onion powder, garlic salt, and paprika.
season your chicken- in the cavity, and on the outside, place in the slow cooker breast side up
I usually drizzle a little EVOO on the chicken, and maybe give a brief rub
1/2 cup of white wine
(on the liquid side- I tried the recipe with 1 cup of water, then changed it to 1/2 c of white wine, 1/2 cup of water, then just went a heaping 1/2 cup of white wine, and add water if I need to).
cook in slow cooker on high for 1 hour, then on low 6-8 hours, until chicken is done- this will depend on how big the bird is, and your slow cooker.
Hubs loves this one too, says it smells like "Thanksgiving" when he comes home. >>
I cook my chickens in the slow cooker too, with a recipe very similar to yours. I always put the chicken breast down and it keeps the meat very juicy.0 -

Didn't think I would ever like this recipe and although I hated the smell that came out of the crockpot I really really enjoyed it.
Crock Pot Hawaiian Chicken
(4-5 servings)
•2-3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
•1/2 cup white sugar
•1/2 cup vinegar
•3 garlic cloves, minced
•2 Tablespoons soy sauce
•1/2 cup of pineapple juice (use what’s in the can)
• 1/2 can of large pineapple chunks
Add all the ingredients to the bag. Cook 4-5 hours on high or 6-7 hours on low. Serve it over rice and enjoy.
I've gotten about 30 different crockpot recipes from this website and I love it. You can basically prepare all of these meals in one day and put in a ziploc freezer bag and just dump it in the crockpot the day of.

I made this one a few weekends ago when we had friends over. It seemed to go over well with everyone. I lightened it up with using skim milk, 98% ff cream of whatever soup, 2% light cheese, and brummel and brown instead of butter.
Cheddar Chicken
Ingredients:
6 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup milk
2 cups stuffing mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
Directions:
1. Lightly grease Crock Pot or spray with cooking spray. Place chicken breasts in pot. Top with cheese.
2. Combine soup and milk, stirring well. Spoon over cheese; then sprinkle stuffing mix on top. Drizzle melted butter over stuffing mix.
3. Cook on low 8 to 9 hours or high 4 to 6 hours.
