I made this Monday night and it was really delicious. The portions are VERY generous. I would recommend adding the sour cream on top. It added a nice flavor to the dish.
MEXICAN PORK AND BEANS
2 tsp olive oil
1 lb. pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2" cubes
2 ribs celery, sliced
1 large green bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, chopped
2 cans (15 oz) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 cans (14.5 oz) no-salt added diced tomatoes
1 cup frozen or canned (drained) corn kernels
2 tbsp chili powder
2 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add pork, celery, bell pepper and onion. Cook until meat is no longer pink.
2. Layer meat and veggies with the beans, tomatoes, corn and spices.
3. Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours. Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
Optional: top with sour cream (any variety) and cilantro -- but remember to add that to your total.

I threw this together on a whim the other day, and it turned out great!
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5lbs total)
1 jar bertolli marinara (or your favorite sauce)
1 large zucchini, cut into chunks
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 small yellow onion, cut in half and sliced
I put the chicken in frozen and cooked it on low for about 10 hours. The chicken was so tender that it shredded. Yum! I served it over some whole wheat rotini. Filling and pretty low-cal.0 -

Here is a super simple recipe:
1 jar salsa
chicken breast (2-4)
place chicken in slow cooker, throw salsa on top, (I swish a little bit of water around in the jar to get the last bit of salsa out and throw that in too) cook for 8-10 hours. You can put it on top of taco salads, rice, burritos. Last night I wrapped it in a big peice of lettuce and had a wrap. Enjoy
sounds good, gonna use this for our taco bar on super bowl sunday Thanks!0 -

I use mine all the time. My newest and easiest recipe...
about 6 boneless chicken breasts, sprinkle with one package of dry ranch dressing mix, pour about 6 oz of hot sauce or wing sauce over - cook for 6 - 8 hours, then take the chicken out and shred it. Can be used on sandwiches or on rice or noodles. Use as much or little of the sauce as you like. It really is not as hot as you would think.0 -
Sorry if someone already posted this one, but I love the Kraft Tex-Mex Slow Cooker Chicken.. mmmmm
2 chicken breasts, cut into slices and tossed in 1 tbsp flour, 1 tbsp taco seasoning
1 1/2 cups salsa
1 cup frozen corn
1 red pepper chopped or sliced
1 green pepper chopped or sliced
Cooks for 4 hours on high, serve over rice with some shredded cheese if you wish... very tasty and makes for great leftovers too!0 -

Here's the link to a Chocolate Zucchini Cake in the Crockpot from the Health Eating Site.
I made it and it is honestly the BEST zucchini cake I've ever had (which is saying something, because my Grandma makes a pretty mean zucchini cake.) It's so moist and delicious!
I didn't have cocoa when I made mine so I substituted with chocolate chips (naughty, naughty).

Homemade vegetable beef soup. Tons of veggies like potatoes (white or sweet), carrots, celery, cabbage or collards, onions, rutabaga, green beans, tomatoes, broccoli, or whatever you like. Whenever you make soup, toss in a bay leaf. You can buy cheap cuts of beef like rump roast because after 8-10 hours of slow-cooking, it all comes out super tender. Just be sure to trim off all the fat before cooking. Soup is very filling and it freezes well.0

1/3c bbq sauce
1/2c chopped onion
1/4c brown sugar

Costa Vida Chicken
* 1 (16 oz.) bottle Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing (any brand will do, really)
* 1 Tbsp chili powder
* 1 Tbsp cumin
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 5 skinless, boneless chicken breast
Cook all together in a crock pot on low for 4 hours, shred meat and cook 1 additional hour. (This recipe makes a lot so you can do have or freeze the leftovers for another meal)
This is my favorite slow cooker recipe. Easy and tasty. Only drawback -- a tad high on the sodium from the Italian dressing.

i use my slow-cooker / crock-pot around 4 times a week, my favourite is pork in apple gravy.
boneless pork shoulder or leg
2 apples (pink lady are good in this)
onion
carrots
celery
and any other veg you have in your fridge
i put the slow cooker on high add the vegetables and place the pork on top, i do not add any water at this stage, i turn it down to low and leave for around 4 hours, turn the pork over and add around 100/200ml water, leave for another 2 hours.
when the pork is cooked and you can pull the meat off take it out and leave on a plate to rest, add hot water to veg in slow cooker (depending on how many you are cooking for) i use around 1 pint and add 2 spoons of apple cider, whizz the gravy up in a blender and pass through a sieve if you want, but i dont.
when you have served up the pork pour the apple gravy onto the pork
this can also be made with pears and pear cider
i also make chilli, beef brisket, stew, meatballs, curry and ham with coke0 -
