    I didn't read through all 9 pages, so I apologize if these are repeats....

    Shredded Mexican CrockPot Chicken
    3 lbs. Boneless Chicken Breasts (about 6 large or 8 smaller breasts)
    2 tsp. taco seasoning (I use Wildtree)
    2 cups salsa

    Spray the inside of your crock-pot with cooking spray. Place your chicken breasts in the crock-pot and sprinkle with taco seasoning, then pour on salsa. Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours. Shred the chicken. I like to serve mine over Blue Corn Chips with cheese and sour cream.


    Pulled Pork
    4-6# pork roast
    16 oz root beer
    Bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce

    Place pork and root beer in crockpot. Cook on low about 6 hours. Drain, shred and stir in BBQ. Goes great with sweet potato fries.


    This one has a few more ingredients...but even my husband who HATES mac n cheese loves it!!

    8 ounces elbow macaroni cooked and drained
    12 ounces half and half
    1-1/2 cups milk
    2 eggs
    2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
    1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    1 can cheddar cheese soup
    4 tablespoons of cream cheese
    4 tablespoons of butter
    4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1/2 tsp garlic powder
    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
    1/4 tsp parsley

    Also, 1/2 cup Italian flavored bread crumbs mixed with 2 tablespoons melted butter for topping

    Mix all ingredients well in CrockPot. Sprinkle bread crumb topping mixture on top, then cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or until the mixture is firm and golden around the edges. Do not remove the cover or stir until before macaroni has finished cooking.

    I didn't read through all the posts but if no one has mentioned it yet Skinnytaste.com has good crockpot recipes. If someone has then good luck. I love the crockpot for busy days.

    Roast pork (frozen solid - just brown in a little olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste) and put in crock pot on low with a bag of saurkraut (rinsed) and a few cups of apple juice and baby carrots. Serve with baked potatoes (cooked in microwave).

    BBQ ribs - take a rack of ribs and put them around the crock so they are touching and add your favorite sauce. They are fall off the bone tender. Serve with a big salad and

    A frozen turkey breast (browned/seasoned to taste with sea salt, pepper and poultry seasoning) simmered in a mix of 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth and 1/2 cup of cranberry juice. Thicken sauce (after cooking with corn starch or flour) and serve on top of the meat as gravy, Serve with baked sweet potatoes and green beans.
