Crock Pots

Yesterday I threw some frozen chicken breasts into the crock pot with some onions, jalapenos and salsa. When I got off work I shredded them up and we had tacos for dinner.
Why don't I use my crock pot more? It was super easy and I didn't really have to plan much. Plus it was a much better dinner than the pizza I had the night before.
Anyone have any go to crock pot recipes they'd like to share?

Crockpot pot roast. Easy-peasy!
Drop roast in with beef broth, carrots, onions, potatoes, some barbecue sauce, seasoning.
8 hours later... mmm tender meat.
Sometimes I do this with a venison shoulder roast...comes out so tender. For that one I add a slice of bacon.
Good stuff0 -
I have never used a crock pot before. My mom and sister did when I lived with them years ago, but I never thought of it as something I would use on my own. Now-a-days I'm seeing so many good recipes for crock pots and it's really tempting me to try to use one. I thing there's one somewhere in the house. Maybe I can dust it off and make something yummy one day!0

I use my crock pot a TON. Sometimes I just put a boneless turkey breast with some Bell's seasoning in it and let it go. Here's a favorite chili recipe of mine - vegetarian, and very different. Hope you like it!
Sweet Potato Chili (crock pot)
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
kosher salt and black pepper
1 28-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 15.5-ounce can black beans, rinsed
1 15.5-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces
sour cream, sliced scallions, sliced radishes, and tortilla chips
Directions
In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine the onion, bell pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, cocoa, cinnamon, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Add the tomatoes (and their liquid), beans, sweet potato, and 1 cup water.
Cover and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chili has thickened, on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours (this will shorten total recipe time).
Serve the chili with the sour cream, scallions, and tortilla chips. (optional)0 -
Interesting recipe. I'm not a big sweet potato fan but I should try it before I pass judgment,
Thanks for sharing.0
