What is your FAV SLOW COOKER Recipe?

I have an older style Crock Pot so my cooking times may be a bit long in comparison to some of the newer models.

Here are a few of our favorites:

CREAMY CHICKEN:

Place 4 chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add 2 cans cream soup (cream of chicken works the best, but any will do)
Cook on low 7-8 hours or high 4-6 hours. About 1/2 before finished, mix 1 tbsp cornmeal and 1 tbsp flour with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle ontop for a yummy cornmeal dumpling style crust.

BEEF STROGANOFF:

Place some stew meat at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add some chopped onions (usually half an onion for us, we like onions!) Add 1-2 cans (depending on how much meat) cream soup (mushroom works the best, but any will do). Cook on low 7-8 hours or high 4-6 hours. Serve over egg noodles.

APPLE PIE BREAKFAST:

Place 2 Cups Steel Cut Oats, 4 Cups Milk, 3 Cups Water, 2-4 Medium Apples, diced (sweet apples work best), Cinnamon & Nutmeg to taste in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 5-7 hours (until liquid is incorporated) stirring every so often. Top with real Maple Syrup (has to be real, I use 'grade b' from the health food store for this recipe), for drizzling ontop.

ROAST CHICKEN:

Throw a whole chicken (insides removed) in slow cooker. Add your favorite chopped veggies (potatoes, carrots, onions). Top with poultry seasoning, salt & pepper to taste. Cook on low 8 hours or high 5-6 hours. DO NOT ADD ANY LIQUID. The juices from the chicken will be enough. If you add water the fat will seperate and make your veggies look unappetizing. I save the leftover juices from the chicken and make gravy for my husband.

ROAST BEEF:

Cut half a dozen cloves of garlic lenghthwise into 3-4 strips. Cut slits in your roast beef and insert garlic. Throw it into the slow cooker. Add your favorite chopped veggies (potatoes, carrots, onions). Top with salt, pepper to taste. Cook on low 8 hours or high 5-6 hours. DO NOT ADD ANY LIQUID. The juices from the roast will be enough. If you add water the fat will seperate and make your veggies look unappetizing. I save leftover juices from the roast and make gravy for my husband.

That ham one sounds really good. I'll have to make note of that!!

Our favorite one is probably a meatloaf recipe I have that I cook in the crockpot. Let me know if you're interested in it and I'll post it (don't have it memorized). I also have a slow cooker lasagna that's pretty good, and I love cooking beef stew and pot roast in the crock pot. I do the same with the pot roast, with the cream of mushroom soup, but also like to throw a couple of potatoes and some carrots in celery in there too!

I loooooove my slow cooker, especially in the winter when it's cold outside!

I love love love the crockpot! I make stuffed peppers in it ALL THE TIME! Take some ground turkey, 1 egg, brown instant rice, worstchire sauce, and onion, mix that all together, stuff into peppers, put them in the pot, cover with a can of stewed tomatoes. I prefer the chili ready tomatoes. I will vary the recipe from time to time. Last time I added a jalapeno, zucchini, and mushrooms to meat mixture.
