I love my crockpot. With 6 people in our family it's great to use on busy nights. Here are some of my favorite recipes.

Taco Soup

2lbs ground meat
2 cans niblet corn
2 cans pinto beans
2 cans tomato soup
2 packs of taco seasoning.

Just brown the meat and then throw everything in the pot and stir.

Cheesy Mexican Chicken

2lbs frozen chicken breast
2 cans rotel
1 pack taco seasoning
2 cans fiesta naco cheese soup

Mix everything together in the crock pot, then place the chicken. Cook for 8 hours and then shred the chicken. I served it over rice, but it would be great in a soft taco shell, or on chips.

Pot Roast

1 chuck roast
2 packs lipton onion soup mix
2 cups water.

Mix together and cook for 8 hours.

BBQ Chicken

3 lbs chicken drumsticks
1 bottle of bbq sauce

Like someone else said, you can really do anything in the crock pot, as long as you have time to let it cook. You do have to make sure that you have enough liquid so that it doesn't dry out on you.

I am looking forward to trying some of the new recipes on here. Happy Slow cooking!
