Crock Pot/Slow Cooker Recipes

Didn't go through all the recipes but here's a hint to cut some of the calories in pulled pork - I used to use pork butt roast for my pulled pork in the crock pot but switched to using pork tenderlion - this cuts a lot of the fat out of the equation

Bump.... got to get some ink for printer, so I can print out some of these GREAT idea's

Thanks all!

my favourite chicken recipe is to take a whole chicken, stuff it full of garlic cloves (will be a lot, the original recipe says 40), then cook on low all day. The chicken ends up with a mild garlic flavour and is delicious.

Love this one! My husband is picky and doesn't usually like new recipes I make, but he actually has requested I make this several times!!! It is great to put all the ingredients in a big ziplock and put in the freezer to have on hand whenever you need something. I have made it after being the freezer, and it tastes amazing (some things say you can do that, but don't actually taste good).
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Ingredients

1 lb chicken (boneless, skinless breasts)
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes with chilies
1 10 oz can enchilada sauce (make sure it’s gluten free if that’s an issue for you!)
1 medium onion
1 4 oz can chopped green chilies
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 bay leaf
2 cups frozen corn
1 TBS chopped Cilantro (for garnish)
Corn Tortilla chips
Directions:

Put all ingredients in a gallon zip lock bag (except the cilantro and tortillas) and freeze. Thaw, add 14 oz chicken broth or stock and 2 cups water and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4-5 hours. Shred chicken after cooking, serve with cilantro and crushed tortilla chips.

To get even more protein, you could add any kind of bean that you would like.

Enjoy!!

Bumping for later. I'm trying to learn how to make stuff on the crockpot. Are you supposed to cook the meat first or put it in raw? I'm always worried I'll mess up.
