    Crock Pot Garlic Roast & Potatoes

    Ingredients:
    -cheapest cut of roast you can find or whatever you prefer
    -1 medium yellow onion
    -1 head of garlic (not cloves, but a whole head - 2 if you really love garlic)
    -5-6 red potatoes
    -sea salt
    -pepper

    Directions:
    -Liberally salt the roast. This is important as it will create a very tender roast. Then take a knife and cut with the end into the roast, about 5 or so garlic-sized pockets. Shove a clove of garlic into each pocket. This will make a huge difference in the flavouring of the meat. Set aside.
    -Cut up the onion making large rings - about 3/4" works nicely - and throw half the onion into the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the roast on the onion layer.
    -Toss the remaining onion and garlic cloves on top of the roast. Sprinkle with pepper. Add the potatoes on top and you are done.
    -Cook 8-10 hrs.

    Simple but incredibly tasty. If you are trying to minimize fat and salt content - this may not be the best recipe for you as reducing the salt used will make a tougher roast and using a leaner cut of meat will not have as much flavour.

    I portion this out for lunches and dinners and even with the salt/fat I'm still well within my daily intakes. This is by far the best crock pot recipe I've ever had.

    We've done a chicken and dumplings recipe from the following link

    http://www.campbellskitchen.com/recipes/slow-cooker-chicken-dumplings-26224

    The only thing we did differently was not making the dumplings in the crockpot. Instead we just baked some biscuits separately since I'm not really a fan of bisquick for breads/biscuits as it tends to be heavy and dry (at least the way I have made it).

    Oh my goodness - y'all are awesome at sharing great recipes! I can't comment on each but thank you all so much for sharing. They all sound so yummy. Can't wait to try them all. I now have plenty of ideas for dinners now. Going to create a recipe collection for the crock pot and print them so I have them for my homemade cookbook.

    Just made this tonight, takes about 20 minutes to prep before work, tastes amazing and makes the house smell wonderful when you get home:

    CROCK POT POT ROAST

    2-3 lb roast
    5 carrots, chopped
    4 medium potatoes chopped or 15-20 whole baby potatoes
    1 yellow onion, sliced
    salt and pepper
    1-2 garlic cloves, minced
    onion soup packet or other seasonings

    Rub the roast in salt and pepper and brown on all sides over medium-high heat, about 4 min/side. Place the roast in the crock pot with chopped carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic. Add a packet of onion soup mix or your own spice blend, I just throw in a little of whatever i.e. garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, a little chili powder, whatever you like. Pour enough water over to cover the roast and veggies. Cook on the low setting for 8-10 hours and voila! Everyone will be impressed.
    :flowerforyou: Think I'll try this over the weekend, appreciate you sharing. All the other shares are also welcomed... than you.:drinker:

    I do shredded ChIckes and gravy, and eat it over rice!

    2 packets Low sodium mckormic chicken gravy powder
    1 can cream of chicken soup
    2 cans low sodium chicken broth
    1 cup water
    1 3 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts
    2 tbsp of minced onion seasoning
    1 tbsp of minced garlic
    Black pepper to taste

    Mix the soup, gravy mix, seasonings, broth and water into the crock pot. Then put in your chicken, and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Then I either make rice or mashed potatoes and eat it over them. Yum! And only about 226 calories per 8th off he recipe! Without rice or potatoes

    Rub whole chicken with 2tsp garlic powder 2 tsp smoked paparika 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1 tbs crushed black peppercorns. Chop up one onion place it it crock put rubbed chicken on top , slow cook 6-8 hrs. No need add water the chicken cooks down in its own juice, easiest thing and can shred for taco, top bean soups, sandwich or alone with side vegetable, I squeeze lemon in crock because adds nice flavor lime would work too and I think toasted cumin seeds give it a really nice authentic flavor

    the weather here is perfect for crock pot suppers. I haven't been to the grocery store yet to get the ingredients for anything else that has been post so I made loaded potato soup with what I had on hand.

    Peel and dice 6 to 8 white potatoes. Add enough water to cover plus an inch. If you like onions, add diced onions or some dehydrated onions. Add either ham pieces or bacon bits. Cook on low all day while you work. When you get home, mash most of the potatoes leaving several lumps is fine. Gives it texture. Add a can of cream of mushroom soup - I use the fat free; mix in a small container of sour cream - I use the light; add just enough milk to make it the soup-iness you want. I add chives and top with shredded cheese.

    If you have enough calories left in your day, you can put this in a bread bowl and dip and eat. If you want to mix it up, you can add broccoli pieces or shredded carrots. Add these when you add in the potato pieces.

    Here's mine! I don't know the stats, but it's one of my favorites.

    2 raw Chicken breasts
    2 cans condensed Broccoli Cheddar soup
    2 cans Whole Sweet Corn

    Throw everything in together in the morning on low. At lunch time you can cut/dice/shred/whatever the chicken and put it back. At dinner you have a yummy, creamy soup!

    I think someone mentioned this already, but if you take some pork (I use a tenderloin), and a sliced onion and pour in a bottle of root beer (I use diet), then cook till tender, shred, and mix in some bbq sauce, it makes the most delicious pulled pork sandwiches!
