I'm stealing my mother's crock pot/slow cooker

Me too. I'm not stealing a crock pot, but would like some recipes too.

Something I like to cook in the crock is chicken stew.

put in some chicken breasts, carrots, potatoes, onions and chicken broth. When the chicken is cooked, pull it apart with a fork in the **** pot, cook more, and when the potatoes are soft... serve the stew in a bowl with a spoon. It's easy and yummy.

toss a bunch of veggies in. things like peppers, canned tomatoes, spices, onions, etc. Add in some bone-in chicken (skinless), thighs or breasts. cook for a few hours...

the chicken will fall off and be very tender and tastey.

Allrecipes.com. they have lots of recipes that can be tweaked. My favorite is turkey chili.

I've been wanting to do this, how'd it turn out?

One of my favorite slow cooker meals is Pulled Pork Sandwiches. One pork roast allowed to slow cook a few hours, covered with water. Drain off fat and excess water. When the roast is done it will litterally fall apart. Pull the pork apart (if it is a little tough cut with a knife), return to crockpot, pour Famous Daves over the pork, and allow to heat through. The longer you are able to let the sauce cook in to the pork the better. This freezes nicely .... if there is any left. :flowerforyou:

We like to do Mexican pork roast. Throw in a pork loin and add a bit of water or broth to the bottom of the pocket. Sprinkle generously with Adobo seasoning (I think there are low sodium versions) and then squeeze two limes over the roast. Cook on low all day. Serve with tortillas, & fajita type fixings.
