bump for tomorrow. I am going to make the cabbage rolls in the crock pot! WOOT!

bump!! these look great!

BUMP! I need to start using my crock pot more... thanks for sharing everyone!

Bump! This is a great thread. More recipes, please!

What kind of crockpot does everyone have? I want to get one but can't afford an expensive one. Any recommendations?

I have a small rival that I bought at a going to school sale for $17.00 at Best Buy. It has no special features and I love it.

Bump!

I always like to do roast in the crock pot.

Pot roast

2-3 lbs chuck roast
brown both sides in skillet

layer in crockpot

potatoes
carrots
onions
salt & pepper to taste

put meat on top

then I pour a can of rotel on top -this is the kicker - it adds so much flavor.

Put on low 6-8 hours.

One more of my favorite recipes

Sausage/bean/veg soup

1 lb turkey sausage, brown & drain
onion 1 whole diced
celery 1 cup diced
3 cans white beans
3 cans chicken broth (low sodium)
1 large can of diced tomatoes
salt, pepper & Emerils seasoning salt to taste

Pour all ingredient into crockpot. cook on low for 6-8 hours.

1 cup serving 170 cal

I saw the small Crockpot branded cooker at Walmart yesterday for $10. No fancy gadgets, just like mine. OFF, LO, HI settings. Works great!

You should try cooking the pork in diet rootbeer, and then add your bbq sauce after you pull apart your pork.

Dump soup (cuz' all you do is dump in the stuff from the cans) This is an old WW recipe. This doesn't necessarily need to go in the crock-pot as all ingredients are already cooked,

dump all together and heat, super easy and tasty!

each can undrained:

1 can shoepeg corn
1 can veg-all
2 can diced tomatoes (if you can find the chili ready kind that's good!)
1 can black beans
1 can progresso 99 % fat free ministrone

I like to make Turkey Vegetable Soup (or you could make Beef or Chicken soup or you could just make vegetable soup!)

1 lb ground turkey (browned)
1 package frozen mixed vegetables
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can diced potatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 pkg McCormick Beef Stew Seasoning
Water or Broth

Add all to crock pot and simmer on low all day.

You can also add some pasta, barley, or beans to this as well. We get 2 meals out of it (there's 3 of us, but my husband eats like he's eating for 2)

I also like to crumble up cornbread into this.

Just made this last night. Sounds like a lot of ingredients, but easy to make & delicious:

Latin chicken & blackbeans w/sweet potatoes

3 lbs. bone in chicken thighs w/skin removed
2 15oz. cans blackbeans drained & rinsed
2 lbs. sweet potatoes peeled & cut in 2 in. cubes
3 cloves garlic minced
1 red bell pepper chopped
cilantro
1/2 c. salsa
1 c. chicken broth
lime wedges
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. ground allspice

Sprinkle chicken thighs w/ 1/2 tsp. cumin (or to your taste), salt & pepper. Cook in hot skillet until brown on both sides (approx. 5 mins per side). Place chicken on plate. In same skillet, combine salsa, chicken broth, remaining cumin, paprika & allspice (do not heat). Place sweet potatoes, red pepper & blackbeans in crockpot, layer chicken on top, & cover w/sauce. Cook on low for 8 hours. Sprinkle w/cilantro & serve w/lime wedges. Makes 6 servings.

This one is from the Crock-Pot recipe card collection 2007

Simply Delicious Pork
1.5 lbs boneless pork loin cut into 6 pieces or 6 boneless thick porkchops
4 medium Golden Delicious apples, sliced
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt


Place pork in the crock-pot and cover with apples
Combine brown sugar,cinnamon and salt in small bowl, sprinkle over apples.
Cover and cook on LOW 6 to 8 hours.

Makes 6 servings about 300 calories per serving
Serve with cooked carrots and rice

I made this tonight and everyone liked it.

Enjoy!

PS: I added about a half a cup of water to keep it from sticking.

Pork & potatoes

4 pork chops (with or without bone)
3 lg. potatoes peeled & cubed (yukon or baking)
1 can corn
1 onion cut up
1 can cream of mushroom soup

Put potatoes, corn, & onion in crockpot. Sprinkle w/garlic powder & pepper to taste (or whatever seasonings you like. I don't like salt). Season both sides of pork chops w/garlic powder & pepper and layer them on top of potato mixture. Spread can cream of mushroom soup on top of pork. Cover & cook 7-8 hours. You don't need to add liquid because it will make it's own.

Got a crockpot for my birthday so I'll be printing out these recipes. Thanks everyone.
