I was reading in the dinner thread that a lot of you use your crockpot for dinner regularly. I have used mine maybe 3 times since we have been married! What are your favorite recipes? I would love to make cooking dinner easier.

I love my crockpot!

I just made chili in it the other day it was amaze balls! I mixed 2 recipes together, but I wrote it down. I get most of my recipes off of Pinterest. I'll try and get back tomorrow with the recipe.

Turkey Breast in the crockpot is good just take a turkey breast season it, put some onions and chicken broth at the bottom cook on low for 8 hours.

I'm trying a new one today so I'll get back to this thread later to update...! I'm excited to see everyone else's. I heart my CP as I often have a million times more energy in the morning. Who wants to fully prep and cook come dinner time??? Nope octopus.

ETA: this delicious recipe.  Slow Cooker Mexican Pulled Pork Tacos...mmmm and YES put the olives on it!

Thanks @skyjewell23 for starting this discussion! I wa wondering the same thing. I've tried soooo many crockpot recipes blindly, out of cookbooks, and 90% of the time they're really underwhelming, bland, and mushy. I would love to hear some firsthand recommendations!

Chili. No recipe but it is super easy - ground meat (browned) + whatever you want + fixings to eat with ( chips, sour cream, cheese, etc...) = delicious. I've made it with a shit ton of veggies and beans, with chorizo and other sausage, with ground turkey, and even with chicken. Needless to say, we LOVE chili in this house. (8 hours on low, 4 on high)

My crock pot strategy is after LO is in bed for the night, I do the chopping and measuring and get everything all set in the crock pot.  Then I put the crock part in the fridge until morning.  In the morning (which is always busy for us), I pull out the crock and cook it.  Nice.

Chili is probably the easiest truly.  We also do a shredded chicken using a recipe someone else shared on TB previously--basically it's chicken, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, cooked til soft, then shredded.  Except I add carrots because they're tasty and good for you.

Love my crockpot!

Chicken tacos- 1 pound of boneless chicken thighs, a jar a salsa, a can of diced green chillis. Yum.

Garlic white wine chicken- 4 chicken breasts (sear them first) 1 cup of white wine, 3/4 cup of broth, a tablespoon of fresh rosemary, 1/3 cup of flour (we are gf and it works great with gf flour too) 3-4 gloves of chopped garlic, 1 chopped onion.

Just made Cafe Rio Chicken last night - it was good.  We are going to use the leftover chicken to make quesadillas tonight

4-6 Chicken Breasts, 1/2 a small bottle of Zesty Italian Dressing, 1 Packet of Dry Ranch Dressing (3 TB), 1/2 Cup Water, 1/2 TB of Minced Garlic, 1/2 TB Chili Powder, 1/2 TB Ground Cumin, Combine all ingredients in a Freezer Gallon Ziplock Bag.  Once ziplock bag is closed, take your hands and combine all ingredients together well.

To cook: Take the Freezer Meal out of the Freezer and hour before starting OR run it under some room temperature water for about 30 seconds.  Dump meal in the a Crockpot and cook on Low for 4-6 hours!

I haven't tried it yet, but I saw this one on the Today Show. You cook it once and get 5 different meals from it. I'm going to try it next week. I'll let you know how it turns out!

German Short Ribs but I use stew meat instead. Serve over noodles, I also like it with red cabbage. It's great for company too. Edit: I double the sauce

I LOVE making chicken tortilla soup in mine. You just dump everything in (from the freezer) and cook on high. It can be ready indas little as 2.5 hours if you use chicken tenders (fresh or frozen) rather that breasts. Delicious!

Pulled pork is great too.

ETA: I just saw you wanted links. I don't have one for the soup,I just eyeball everything as I throw it in. If you want me to expand on how to make it, I'll be happy to tell you. Seriously, so easy! Takes me less than 5 minutes to put together

One of my favorites is a Chicken Jambalaya recipe from Better Homes and Gardens. It's a little bit of a cheat because you use the jambalaya rice mix, but it's super easy and great for cold wintry days. I usually double it and freeze the leftovers for another night.

Slow Cooker Chicken Jambalaya

8 ounces of skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 16-ounce package of frozen loose-pack pepper stir-fry vegetables (yellow, green, and red sweet peppers, and onions)
8 ounces of smoked turkey sausage, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 cups of water
1 14 1/2 ounce can of diced tomatoes with jalapeno peppers
1  8-ounce package of jambalaya rice mix

1.  Cut chicken into 1/2-inch strips. Place frozen vegetables in a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. Top with chicken strips and turkey sausage. Add water, undrained tomatoes, and seasoning packet from rice, if present.
2.  Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours or on high-heat setting for 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Stir in rice. If cooking on low-heat setting, turn to high-heat setting. Cover and cook 45 minutes more or until most of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Makes 6 servings.

One of the things I get the most requests for with my Catering Company is my Turkey Chili. Here is the modified home version. 2 lbs lean ground turkey (93/7) 2 28 oz cans petite diced tomatoes 1 4 oz can of diced green chiles 1 15 oz can Chili Beans(optional) 4 packets of Chili Seasoning You can brown the meat before, or just throw everything in. I usually let it go about 8 hours on low. I also add about a tablespoon of additional chili Powder and Cayenne. We like it spicy! I topic with Sour Cream, Shredded Mexican Cheese and fresh jalapeños. this makes a lot, but it does freeze really well:)

I'm book marking all of these! Thanks ladies!

Lasagna Soup!!!

It's not technically a crockpot meal, you have to brown the sausage first, but I will throw it in the crock anyways. I just tweek the recipe a little bit, but it's SO good! I use breakfast sausage instead of italian.
