crockpot recipes?
Options
I'm interested in starting to cook with a crockpot. However, I don't have a lot of recipes...actually, I don't have any. I'm a fairly picky eater, but was wondering if anyone had any healthy crockpot recipes to share. If I had ideas, I could omit ingredients that I didn't care for and adjust as I felt was necessary.

Chili is always good.
Publix's Apron meals has a lot of different ideas. They usually have the cal content at the bottom, usually not super healthy, but you could substitute certain items to make it healthier.0 -

I usually make soup or stew in the crock pot. Its pretty simple to just throw in any vegetables you like and brown some meat or add already cooked meat and then add broth or gravy. I get ideas from searches online adding or omitting what I want.0

The crockpot is easy to use, and most recipes can be adapted if you want to make them healthier. Follow my blog at http://thebusymomsmenu.blogspot.com for some ideas on using the crockpot.0

I'd suggest buying the "fix it & forget it" cookbook it has some good recipes
Something very easy to make is throwing a frozen chicken breast or two in it, pour a bottle of your favourite bbq sauce or hot sauce over it, turn it on low or high depending on whether you are going to be around or not. once cooked, shred it and serve with wholewheat buns or with side salad or veggies.0 -
BUMP. yum. need me some rum0

You can add anything to the crockpot and it will turn out fine.
Try this:
Chicken Breast
Can of diced tomatoes
Onion
Garlic
Bell Pepper
Salt and Pepper to taste
The chicken will shred at the touch of a fork and you can use that for almost anything. Tacos. Sloppy Chicken Joes. Tostadas. Etc.
Good luck!0 -
I love really easy, tasty ones.
My favorite is putting a couple of chicken breasts in with a can of pineapple and a jar of salsa. Such good filling for tacos or burritos.0 -
Throw frozen chicken breasts in with salsa and water with whatever seasonings you like, cook on low until tender. Shred the breasts, throw on a tortilla with taco goodies= easy chicken tacos...low calorie, too!0

This looks awesome! And I even think my husband will eat it! Thank you so much!0

It's not healthy -- at least not the way I make it -- but if you're having vegetarians for Thanksgiving, put bread stuffing in the crockpot on low a few hours. It doesn't need any additional water if you fill the whole pot with fresh bread cubes, butter, chopped onions and celery; it just steams itself. It comes out nearly as good as in the bird. You might stir it occasionally so it doesn't brown on the bottom.0
