Looking for some crock pot recipies that are very filling and preferrable somewhat low cal that can simmer while I'm at work. I'm away from home around 9/10 hrs. Or even crock pot recipes I can do on the weekend that only take a couple hours if that. Thanks ahead of time!

    Tuscan Pork Stew
    Calories: 1 cup is 232 calories, sans noodles. Recipe makes about 8 cups.

    1 boneless pork loin roast (1.5 lb) cut in 1 in cubes
    2 tbls olive oil
    2 cans italian diced tomatoes, undrained
    2 c. reduced sodium chicken broth
    2 c. frozen pepper stir fry vegetable blend, thawed or one red bell pepper cut into thin strips
    1/2 c. dry red wine or additional reduced-sodium chicken broth
    1/4 c. orange marmalade
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 tsp dried oregano
    1/2 tsp fennel seed
    1/2 tsp pepper
    1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or leave out the regular pepper and add 1/2 tsp of the red)
    2 tbl corn starch
    2 tbl cold water

    extra wide egg noodles, optional


    Brown the pork in olive oil, put it in a slow cooker. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, peppers, wine marmalade and seasoning.
    Cover and cook for 8-10 hours on low, or even longer.
    Combine the corn starch and water to make a slurry, add to slow cooker and cook on high for a half hour.
    While it's thickening make your egg noodles, then serve the soup over the noodles.

    the cookbook Fix it and Forget it Lightly is excellent! I bought it and it has for sure been one of my most used cookbooks. Everything is crockpot and they are all low calorie healthy recipes!
