Crock Pot Recipes?

i have had one for a bit now and have just started using it again. (it saw me faithfully threw college too). today i put chicken in (2 breasts) and 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/2 of my fav. bbq sauce and 1/2 onion. and put it on low for 4 hrs and it was falling apart. it tasted soooo good. no need to add any sauce or anything. i'm sure the flavor and bbq that it did suck up as not the 2 tbs serving.

pulled pork

500 g pork tenderloin
low sodium BBQ sauce
5-6 cloves garlic
2 onion roughly chopped
1.5 cups water

put onion, garlic, pork in crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours
add BBQ sauce and pull pork apart with two forks.
Serve with vegetables, whole wheat bread, or whole grain rice

enjoy

I recently got a crock pot as well. I love it! Have you been to allrecipies.com? They have tons of great ideas for your crockpot. I made a bean and vegetable chilli that only cost me about $15 and I had a ton of left overs!

I love their recipes.

I got this site from someone else her on MFP-

http://www.skinnytaste.com/

It has a ton of great slow cooker recipes!!

I believe there's also skinnycrockpot.com

I just found slenderkitchen.com she has some pretty good crock pot recipes there.

I second the vegetarian chili recipe from Allrecipes.com. It's delicious, freezes well, and very affordable. Here's the link:

The other crcokpot recipes I have are delicious but not quite as healthy. I make a mean pot roast in it:

1) Flour the roast and brown it on the stove.

2) Throw it in the crockpot with beef broth, a packet of dry onion soup mix, and sliced onions and carrots.

3) Cook it all day on low. Come home and devour.

I do the same with pork butt or shoulder to make pulled pork. It freezes well, also.

1) Add a pork roast to the crock pot and toss in beef broth and bbq sauce.

2) Cook on low all day.

3) Come home, drain off most of the juice, shred the pork, and add more bbq sauce.

4) Serve on a roll.

Lastly, I make chicken and dumplings in the crockpot.

1) Add four chicken breasts, a can of cream of chicken soup, a can of cream of celery soup, salt, pepper, thyme and enough broth to cover the meat.

2) Cook all day on low.

3) Come home, shred the chicken and tear up 16 oz of refrigerated biscuit dough into pieces. Add to the mixture. Also add two cans of mixed veggies drained.

4) Cook on high for another hour or so.

It's yummy but kind of high in fat and terrible in sodium.

Google it! LOL ~ Anything I'm thinking of I google to see if there is a crockpot recipe for it. I generally do not stick to just one site. I'm all over the place.

Currently at home I have the following cooking in my crockpot:
3 chicken breasts (halved)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup white white
1 large onion diced (I only used 1/2-2/3 only)
3 cloves garlic miced
1 cup sliced green pepper
1 cup sliced zuchinni

The recipe also called for 1 can of mushrooms but I opted out and added the green pepper and zuchinni

I also love the pineapple crockpot chicken recipe I got off MFP:

Chicken breasts
1 can crushed pineapple drained
1/4 cup soy sauce

Simple & yummy!

salsa chicken is pretty easy and cheap. I made it just last week and everyone (except my 5year old) loved it. You can adjust the spiciness.

it makes a lot, so you might want to cut it in half if you're the only one going to be eating it. You can put it over rice or noodles.

The website I found it on isn't working right now, but I think I can remember it...

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in bottom of crockpot
1 can condensed cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup, pour onto chicken
1 cup salsa (I used 1/2 cup salsa and 1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes to tone it down a little for my kids,) pour onto chicken
1 packet taco teasoning (or 1tbsp of this lady's homemade mix), sprinkled on top of that

cook on low for about 6 hours
remove chicken from sauce (it will break apart) and shred with 2 forks
return chicken to crock pot, mix through
mix in 1 cup sour cream (could possibly use FF plain yogurt)
heat a little longer to warm back up

Serve over rice or some other starch
garnish with some sliced green onion (optional)

can also add corn kernels and black beans

I entered this as a recipe in my food database, using FF soup and light sour cream. I figure it made 8 good-size 135-calorie servings (not including the rice)

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but I purchased a book called Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two It had some very interesting recipies in it. . . . I purchased the book before I got the slow cooker LOL :blushing: You may have to modify a few of the ingredients but overall it was a wonderful book!

I'm using my crock pot right now to make pork ribs:

2-3 lbs pork ribs
1/4 C soy sauce
3-4 T Worcestershire sauce
1-2 T extra virgin olive oil
seasoning salt
pepper
garlic powder
onion powder

Cut ribs in to individual pieces. Mix soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and olive oil together. Pour over ribs and mix to make sure each rib is coated. Season to taste. Cook on low 8-10 hours or high 4-6 hours.

I also like salsa chicken:

4 boneless skinless chicken breast (I slice them in half long-ways to make 8 pieces)
1 pckg taco seasoning
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 C salsa
1/2 C sour cream

Mix everything but the sour cream together. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Just before serving stir in the sour cream. Serve over rice.

Leftovers can be shredded and used for tacos, fajitas, burritos, or just about anything you'd use shredded chicken for - or just keep it in whole pieces and serve over rice again. The "juice" it makes is REALLY good on the rice!

On both of these I suggest using the low-sodium versions of soy sauce, taco seasoning, and soup - otherwise you might be a little high on sodium. Other than that these are both tasty, not too expensive, and pretty good for you.
