    That goes for me too -- I got my very first crock pot for Christmas, but it seems like all the recipes I find are either really fattening, or used canned soups (with way too much sodium!). I want some healthy recipes!

    I like taking a tough piece of beef and putting cut up carrots and celery in the bottom, place the meat on top, and put tomatoes on top, some salt and pepper (whatever seasonings you like). and just let it go til tender. It's good :)

    Grassfed or pastured pork shoulder or butt. BBQ sauce (make your own that way you can control the sugar content). Cook on low for 12 hours. Can use chicken too. Yum!

    You might try one of the recipe web sites. I like allrecipes.com. Click on the "healthy cooking" tab and they have a great turkey chili recipe among others.

    There is a WHOLE crockpot thread in the recipes section. You may have to do a little searching for it but the last time I checked it there were over 100 postings on it.

    I love the crock-pot. For football weekends the easiest is a pork roast with onions and cooked in a cup or so of root beer. After four hours on high use forks and pull it apart. I then add Stubb's Barbecue Sauce. Serve pulled pork on nice rolls with coleslaw. This is always a crowd pleaser. :)

    I just made pork loin in my crockpot- best one I've ever made!
    I don't have a "set" recipe, I just kind of added things. It's a joke in my house, that I can never make the same thing twice :laugh:
    Here is basically what I did.

    1 basic pork loin- mine was a little over 1 lb
    1 pkg of lipton beefy onion or beefy mushroom dry mix
    3/4 C of red wine
    1 C of water
    4 cloves minced garlic
    some worchestire sauce

    I threw the pork in, sprinkled the mix on bottom of crockpot, added wine, water and worchestire and turned to coat. Then, I minced the garlic right ontop of the pork. I set on low (on 10 hr setting), but, it was done in about 3.5 hours. I served with the sauce as well as mashed potatoes and steamed veggies.

    I'm not sure if this is the same link someone else posted, but I had the following thread in my "my topics" which has over 200 responses, although quite a few are "bumps" or "save for later"

    Fat Free "Refried" Beans

    1 cup dry beans (any type)
    seasonings you like (maybe some chopped onion or something; I use a ramen noodle seasoning packet, but that may have too much sodium for you)
    Small (1 quart) crockpot

    Soak the beans in water over night; rinse them in the morning. Put them in the crock pot with whatever seasonings you like, and fill it with water. Turn it on and forget it. If you put it together before you leave for work, it should be about perfect when you get home. While your gone, it should overcook to the extent that the beans will swell until they burst, and there you have fat-free, work-free, refried beans!

    If you have a bigger crock pot, you'll have to adjust the recipe up a bit to have the consistency come out right.
