Crock Pot/Slow Cooker Recipes

I'm a huge fan of 'freezer to crockpot' cooking. I've been doing this for about 4 months now, and I don't know how I survived before finding this website!

I take out the freezer bag of 'whatever' just before I leave for work (still frozen) and I pop the frozen hunk in my crockpot, when I come home, dinner is ready! I do all my prep on a Sunday afternoon, maybe every four or five weeks. I shop the sales. And I also make a huge pot of wild/brown rice, and once it's cooked and cooled, I portion it out into freezer bags. When we're having rice, I pop it in the microwave. Seriously easy and yummy!!

bump. I have been looking for crock recipes that don't have tomatoes. These are wonderful!

One of my favorite recipes for the crock pot is pulled port.

Get a small pork shoulder, a can of root beer throw them in the crock on low for 6-8 hours. When you come home drain part of the juice and add BBQ sauce if you would like, but it's not really necessary. Serve on a whole grain bun or over brown rice. Super yummy and simple.

I really like to make beef stew in a crockpot- Just add 1 lb of lean stew meat, any veggies that you like, garlic powder, 1 cup beef broth, 2 cups water, and one packet beef stew seasoning. Cook on low for 8 hours.

I made up a recipe for Buffalo Chicken Chili- 2 cans white beans (drained), 1 lb skinless chicken breasts or tenderloins (No need to cut up, it will fall apart when it finishes cooking), 2 stalks sliced celery, 2 grated carrots, 1 sliced onion, 1 Tbsp cumin, 2 cups chicken broth, 1 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce (Franks, Heinz, and Louisiana are all good brands) , 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning. Add all together in crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours. When serving sprinkle with blue cheese and offer extra celery sticks.

Enchilada chicken is basically the same recipe, except sub black beans for the white beans, a can of green enchilada sauce instead of the hot wings sauce and ranch packet, add 1 cup corn kernels, and cook. Stir 1 cup light sour cream about 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle the top of bowl with shredded cheddar or queso when serving.

My veggie soup is great in a crockpot- I add one package of turkey smoked sausage sliced,large can of tomato juice, whatever veggies I feel like adding, fresh cracked black pepper, garlic powder, several cups of water and cook on low 8 hours.
Hope these help!

Western Chicken

1 Package of Drumsticks or Thighs are good too
1 Bottle of Western Dressing (Light can be used)
1 Cup Brown sugar

Spray Crock with Pam or user a Crock Pot Liner. Place frozen chicken drumsticks in the crock, pour entire bottle of western dressing over the chicken, and sprinkle brown sugar over chicken/western dressing. Cook on LOW 8-10 hours. Serve with Rice or Pasta--or eat it in with sandwich bread or tortilla's (My family enjoys this several ways!) .

Warning-chicken will be done and more than likely be falling off the bone.
