crockpot recipes

bump..... I have another boring roast in the works for tomorrow.

This site has a recipe for every day for a year (plus some), she has a lot of vegetarian recipes and a tutorial on how to cook beans in the crock (plus recipes). Enjoy!

I do! I just did a crock pot chicken dinner two nights ago and it's super low in calories as well as great tasting!
- A half a breast of chicken (skinless and fatless)
- Apple cider (1 cup)
- McCormick Brown Sugar Seasoning (comes in packets from grocery store)
Dump it all in the crock pot, cook on low for 2-3 hours.
Then eat! And the house smells so good when you come home from work! Enjoy. :happy:
OH! And the calories are entered in my log....take a look if you want.

Chili.

1/2 bag dry red kidney beans

1/2 bag dry pinto beans

1/2 bag dry black beans

1 can reduced sodium diced tomatoes with chilies and seasoning (including juice)

1 small can tomato paste

6 cups water

1 diced onion

1 diced anaheim pepper (decored and deseeded)

Pour everything into crockpot after dicing the vegetables and cook on low for 8 hours.

crockpotgirls.com is a great website! They put a new video recipe up every Monday. They have everything from drinks to breakfast. You might have to adjust some of the ingredients to reduce the calories.

I had a leftover ham bone from a ham I took to a church dinner last week. I threw it in the crockpot with 2 small bags of pinto beans (that I soaked overnight and rinsed) and some diced onion I dehydrated this summer. I covered the whole thing with water and let it cook overnight. My husband ate beans for breakfast and my mother-in-law and I ate some over scrambled eggs. They came out very tasty. I love pinto beans cooked with a little ground meat and chili powder, too.

Hmm... I don't have too many vegetarian recipes, but I'm sure some of them can be adapted if you want to use artifical bacon bits instead of ham/sausage or use Tofu taco meat instead of ground beef or turkey.

Here's how I make chili:
1 pound of cooked ground beef or ground turkey
Two regular sized cans of tomato sauce
one can of diced tomatoes
one can of dark red kidney beans
one diced onion
one diced green pepper
chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and crushed red pepper to taste. I use mostly chili powder and a little less of the others.

Throw all ingredients in and cook until it's simmering. Generally 8 hours on low is really tasty.

Here's my potato soup:
One box of chicken stock (you could probably use vegetable stock if you want.)
one pound of cooked turkey sausage (optional)
six cut up potatoes
one cut up onion
a tsp of garlic
Two or three cut up sticks of celery
Cook for 4 hours on high
Then, add a big glob of sour cream
one can of evaporated milk
one can of cream of whatever soup (or make your own if you're ambitious)
add cheddar cheese as garnish

It's important to add the diary at the end rather than the beginning, because it changes texture.

I have a huge list of crockpot recipes that also gives ww points if anyone is interested I can email it. I would post it but it is 107 pages.
