    This woman's site has AMAZING, low-fat, and simple foods. Have tried so many, and many are fast and/or crock pot.

    My kids really like when I toss boneless chicken breasts or thighs in the crockpot, with your favorite BBQ sauce and a can of pineapple chunks. YUM!

    My kids love :
    -apricot chicken (chicken, pkt dry french onion soup and can of apricot nectar),
    -salsa shicken (chicken, jar of salsa and some sour cream),
    -orange pork (pork, orange juice and hoisin sauce),
    -lots of Indian dishes that I use the sauce out of a packet (Passage to India is my favorite brand and they do great mango chicken, butter chicken and a korma)
    -My local supermarket sells sauces specifically designed for slow cookers, most of these are yummy, easy to prepare and you can find some that arent too bad on the calories
    -Massaman beef (beef, onion, massaman paste, coconut milk, brown sugar, potatoes and peanuts)

    That macaroni look yummy :D
    Bump means to save for later so you can go back cause it gets saved in your thread comments for later viewing.

    Not 100% healthy but I love crockpot cheeseburgers. I didn't put ALL ingredients from recipe but still super delicious and I used ground turkey. Plus you can still make a healthy side or cut some veggies up and add to the mix. Like the thread said they really do taste like Mcdonald's cheeseburgers.

    Homemade Mac and cheese IN A CROCKPOT!!!!

    (I use WW noodles)

    1 1/2 cups milk
    One 12 oz can evaporated milk (I used skim, evaporated milk keeps the egg and milk from curdling)
    1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled to room temp
    3 large eggs
    1/2 tsp salt
    3 cups (12 oz) shredded cheese (I used an Italian blend, recipe calls for Italian fontina cheese)
    1/2 pound elbow macaroni or mini penne tubes, par cooked and drained (this means cook them for about five minutes until tender but not completely cooked)
    Freshly ground black pepper to taste
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    Spray the inside of your slow-cooker with cooking spray or grease it with olive oil. Combine milk, evaporated milk, eggs, butter, and salt in slow-cooker and whisk until until smooth (or you can use an immersion blender to do the whisking for you). Add the shredded cheese (not the Parmesan) and macaroni, sprinkle with black pepper (and whatever other spices you want to use). Stir gently with a spatula to coat evenly. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top. Cover and cook on HIGH for 30 minutes.
    After 30 minutes, reduce the temperature to LOW and cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until custard is set in the center and the pasta is tender. The macaroni and cheese may sit in the cooker on the KEEP WARM setting for 30 minutes before serving. Serve and enjoy! '

    Go To Chicken

    4 chicken breast (I use bone in)
    1/4 onion (vidalia)
    1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth or stock
    spices of your choice (I use varitey of mrs dash, whatever I am in the mood for)

    Cover on low 4 hours.... the chicken is so moist and just falls off the bone. I serve with brown rice and steam veggies.

    Put a pork sirloin in the crockpot. Dump a jar of salsa on it - red, green, whichever you like. Doesn't matter which brand. Cover and cook on low all day. Shred meat and serve with rice or tortillas.
