I’m a student and next semester I have a couple days where I’m in class all day and into the evening. I’d like to utilize the crockpot more on those days, so I don’t come home and eat junk.
I’m looking for some go-to crockpot recipes please!

    Made this jambalaya yesterday. Goes together quickly. Tasty and warming. Adjust the spices to your liking. Plenty of options for low fat version. Serve with rice if you prefer.

    Crockpot Chicken and Noodles
    Ingredients :
    1 24 ounce package – frozen egg noodles
    2 – 14.7 oz cans – cream of chicken soup – sometimes i use 1 can chicken and 1 can cream of celery
    1 stick (1/2) cup butter – cut into pieces
    1 – 32 oz chicken broth – may want extra to thin out, if too thick. the frozen noodles thicken the broth
    mixed vegetables – optional – i didn’t use this time
    Chicken buillon to taste – optional – i add about a teaspoon of better than buillion chicken flavored paste – for a richer chicken flavor
    6 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 4 large
    salt & pepper to taste – can add some parsley too if desire

    How to make it :

    Salt & pepper chicken breasts and place in the bottom of crock pot. Spoon soup over the chicken. Cut butter into several pats and place pieces evenly over soup.
    I whisk the bouillon with the broth and pour over soup.
    Place lid on pot and turn to low. Cook for 6 hours.
    Remove chicken and tear into pieces. Add back to pot.
    Now add noodles and if adding veggies add now. Cook for another 2 hours or until noodles are desired tenderness. I stir a few times during last 2 hours. ( You may want to add more broth to thin out at the end of cooking, as the home made noodles thicken the broth, which we like. )
    Sprinkle with parsley and mix in, if using at the end of cooking.
    Salt & pepper if needed and Serve. Yum!

    I like this one.........

    http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/stuffed-green-pepper-soup

    I brown the beef, add chopped onion and saute. Then I put that in a slow cooker and add everything else., turn to low. You don't have to cook the rice separately either, if you add rice plus whatever water that calls for.

    Variations - red & green pepper are nice combined. Basil is a good add-in. I'm not fond of Campbell's tomato soup (too sweet) I sub out Progresso instead.

    I absolutely love chicken and noodles!! I’ve been trying to find a way to make it a bit healthier. Maybe I’ll just save it for a treat and serve it with a salad
