What's in your crockpot right now?

Turkey chili.

I'm brewing up my Crockpot Chai Tea tonight.

8 black tea bags, paper tags removed
8 cups water
Fresh ginger, approximately 1.5 inch piece, peeled and cut into 8 pieces
5 cinnamon sticks
16 whole cloves
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar (I eliminate this and sweeten with Stevia when I drink it)

Put all ingredients in slow cooker, and brew on high for 2 hours. Strain mixture and discard solids. Add milk just before serving in equal portions (a.k.a. 1 cup milk to 1 cup chai tea). Can be served hot or cold. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.

This sounds awesome I bet your house smells fantastic! I love chai but homemade?! I must attempt it! Thanks!

I made a chicken and bean burrito mix in the crockpot the other day.

The recipe is in a Better Homes and Garden: Comfort Food on a Diet cookbook. I don't remember the recipe exactly...

I used,

3 chicken breast (whole, you will shred)
2 can of light kidney beans
1 can rotel
1 red pepper (sliced)
1 yellow pepper (sliced)
1 green pepper (sliced)
1 onion (sliced)
1 can diced tomotoes (drained)
2 tsp ground Cumin
2 tsp chili powder
1 garlic clove (I just used about 2 tsp work of minced garlic)
salt

I threw everything in the crock for about 6 hours. I kind of stirred everything together with the spices and stuff, but leave the chicken on the bottom. You can slice all the peppers and onion up the night before to save some time. Also, I don't think I put the whole onion or all each pepper in, I put in about half of each. It's really how ever you like it. Once the chicken is fully cooked, take that out and shredd it. Mix it in with the rest of the stuff and I let it sit there a a little longer, but you don't have to. Then just throw it on a tortilla shell and enjoy!!!

In the cookbook it says it's like 330 calories each. It just depends on how how full you make the shells. It is GREAT as leftovers too!!

Northern white beans

This is so good! I adjust a few things, but, pretty darn yummy and low cals. great comfort food.
Love crockpots!

BBQ pulled pork! Throw 2lbs of tenderloin (trimmed) plus a bottle of BBQ sauce (I used Jack Daniel's Original #7) and let it cook on high for 5 hours, then shred. The tenderloin just falls apart. DELICIOUS.

Probably not the best thing in the world for you, (Recipe is showing 221cal, 25g fat, 2 carb 25g protein, 735 sodium, and that' just for the pork. Depending on how you eat it (on a roll, with cornbread, etc) it gets worse lol) but man-oh-man is it good.

Pork Chops trimmed of all fat with 3/4 of a cup Heinze reduced sugar, low carb ketchup, 1/2 jar Polaner Blackberry sugarfree preserves, salt, pepper and an onion...smells heavenly! Going to shred it when done and put over mashed cauliflower yummy.

Get chicken breasts add some mango salsa from costco and make a killer salad. Cook the chicken with the salsa. YUMMY!!

Whole chicken.....1 onion, salt and pepper in cavity and Italian season sprinkled on top. Cook on low 7.5 hours. My son calls it Yummy Chicken!!! Will serve with mashed potatoes and corn.

In a couple of weeks will make BBQ Ribs with 2-3 onions sliced in there with a bottle of BBQ sauce dumped on top.

Also like Chicken Lime Tacos in there.

Need to figure out how to make my veggie chili in there instead of on the stove.

Chicken Balti :OP made from scratch

oinions chopped boiled and pureed to make the baseof the sause
Chicken breast
chopped oinion
tomatoes
mushrooms

tikka masala paste
various spices (cyanne / paprika / chilli etc)

Chicken Corn Chili




Ingredients:
1 large onion, chopped
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno chile, seeded and chopped
1 3/4 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 can (14.5 ounces each) cannellini beans-drained & rinsed
2 tablespoons stone-ground cornmeal
shredded monterey jack cheese

1. In a 5-6 qt slow cooker combine onion, chicken, broth, green pepper, jalapeno, 1 1/2 of the cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of the cayenne & 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or 6 on low.

2. Remove the chicken to a cutting board and allow to cool slightly. Shred the chicken and return it to the slow cooker with remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of the cumin and cayenne and the tomatoes, corn and beans. Gently mash some of the beans against the side of the bowl to thicken the chili. Stir in the cornmeal and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let sit for a few min to soften the cornmeal. Serve sprinkled w/ a little of the cheese.


***I couldn't find Cannellini beans, but great northern beans are pretty much the same thing.

.This is yummy!! And is less than 300 calories per serving :-)

What kind of beef do you use? What is SE flour?

Please share how you do that. Fajitas are a family favorite and not done unless it is warm enough I can grill the meat. No fryin meat in my house!

Nothing today... White Chicken Chili earlier this week.
