I'm pretty sure he was just being sarcastic. Check out the link he posted. Tons of useful recipes.10 -
I made this for the first time this week. it's amazing! It's called Fiesta Chicken. I bought the McCormick slow cooker seasoning. It basically smelled like taco seasoning so you could probably use that. I used three chicken breasts and then you mix in 1 can of black beans, 2 cans of tomatoes, and 1 can of corn. Set and forget! I served with sour cream and sharp cheddar on a tortilla. AMAZING! I would make it again for sure!9

I use this website a lot for my slow cooker http://www.ayearofslowcooking.com/. This girl got a slow cooker for a Christmas present and declared to use it every day for a year. She's made a book out of it and has been on talk shows. She's pretty funny and tells you how to modify if you don't have an ingredient. You can search pretty easily as well if you have certain ingredients.
Happy slow cooking!!5 -

Made sticky honey and garlic chicken the other day!!

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup honey
2/3 cloves garlic
1tsp dried basil ( I had to us mixed herbs)
Cook on low for 6 hours
Serve with rice or veg5 -
I love this pulled pork recipe. Just dump everything in and cook on low for about 8 hours. The only change I make is I use Dr. Pepper Ten or Diet Dr. Pepper. I use it for sandwiches on pretzel buns with a drizzle of BBQ sauce (that was dinner last night), leftover in tacos, etc. There are some good ideas in the link.

I have to admit that I don't use my slow cooker often but last night I made a Drunken Garlic Crock Pot Roast (the recipe will come up when you google)... I have tried many different recipes but this definitely takes the cake! I did omit the step of making a gravy with the juice and treated myself to some horseradish mashed potatoes. Yum.1

Thank u guys for ur links0

This is a favorite here. I usually put all the spices and diced tomatoes in blender. The put chicken in big chunks in crock pot and pour blender contents over it. Cook all day and make rice - so freaking good and super easy. You can use white or dark as you prefer.

Crock pot potato soup
2.5 lbs potatoes diced into 1/2 in pieces
1 small yellow onion diced.
4 cups chicken broth
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
6 cloves garlic whole and peeled
1 bay leaf
1 block low fat cream cheese
Bacon, chives, and Cheddar cheese for topping
Put the potatoes, onions, seasoned salt, and broth on the crock pot and stir. Place the garlic cloves on top and stick the bay leaf into the soup. Cook on low 10 hours or high for 5 hours. Remove the garlic and bay leaf. Remove about 1/2 of the soup and mash the potatoes. Return to the pot and add the cream cheese. Prepare the toppings while you let the cream cheese combine. Its high in sodium but so tasty for a cool night. Even my picky husband loves it. Makes anout 6 servings.4 -
My family loves slow cooker chicken tacos... I use a 3 lb bag of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (usually frozen when i put it in), your favorite taco seasoning, and a medium jar of salsa. Cook on low 4-6 hours and then shred with forks. Delicious! I love it on top of my salad.
