    Thank you for reminding me I need to get my pork in the crock pot!

    For dinner tonight I am going to put one can of beef broth into the crock pot, throw in 2 1/2 lbs. of boneless (You can do bone-in pork, too) pork loin roast.  Going to let it go on high for four hours, then shred with a fork, throw in some BBQ Sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's) and make little BBQ pork sandwiches.

    Mmmm.

    White Chicken Chili (origional and my changes)

    I am awful at following a recipe, so I will give you the recipe and how I changed it.

    2 cans navy beans (I did do this)
    1 onion, chopped (I used that too)
    1/2 butter (light margerine)
    1/2 c flour (more or less.... I just dumped from the bag)
    16 oz half & half (used about 3/4 of a pint of whipping cream)
    1 t salt (omitted)
    2 cans mild green chiles (used 1)
    1 tsp tabasco (just dropped some in)
    1 1/2 t chili powder (sprinkled some in)
    1 t cumin (sprinkled...)
    3/4 c chicken broth (I used a tsp of the powder, but did not add the water, I like my soups thick)
    1 t pepper (sprinkled)
    1 1/2 c monteray jack cheese (used most of a bag of mexican shredded)
    1/2 c sour cream (tried to dump about that much in)
    5 chicken breast, cooked and cubed. (I used 2)
    I almost forgot, I also added corn. I filled a cereal bowl and nuked the corn to warm it - them mixed it in.

    Cook onion in 2 T butter until soft. In a pan mix butter and flour. Stir in onion, half and half and chicken broth. Stir 5 min or so until thick. Stir in Tabasco, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Add beans, chilies, chicken and cheese. Cook over low heat 20 min. Stir in sour cream and serve.

    I have done this in the crock pot - just cook the onion and chicken then add the rest to the crock pot to warm.

    Meat Loaf from the Slow Cooker
    From Healthy Cooking Magazine

    SERVINGS: 8
    TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 3 hours

    Ingredients:
    1/2 cup tomato sauce
    1/2 cup egg substitute
    1/4 cup ketchup
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 small onion, chopped
    1/3 cup crushed saltines (about 10 crackers)
    3/4 teaspoon minced garlic
    1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
    1/8 teaspoon seasoned pepper
    1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
    1/2 pound reduced-fat bulk pork sausage
    SAUCE:
    1/2 cup ketchup
    3 tablespoons brown sugar
    3/4 teaspoon ground mustard
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    Directions:
    Cut three long narrow strips of heavy-duty foil; crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel. Place strips on the bottom and up the sides of a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Coat strips with cooking spray.
        In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Crumble beef and sausage over mixture and mix well (mixture will be moist). Shape into a loaf. Place meat loaf in the center of the strips.
        In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Spoon over meat loaf. Cover and cook on low 3-4 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160?. Using foil strips as handles, remove the meat loaf to a platter.

    Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

    1 onion, chopped
    1 (16 ounce) can chili beans
    1 (15 ounce) can black beans
    1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
    1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
    1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
    2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
    1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
    3 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts
    shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)
    sour cream (optional)
    crushed tortilla chips (optional)

    Place the onion, chili beans, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, beer, and diced tomatoes in a slow cooker. Add taco seasoning, and stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts on top of the mixture, pressing down slightly until just covered by the other ingredients. Set slow cooker for low heat, cover, and cook for 5 hours.

    Remove chicken breasts from the soup, and allow to cool long enough to be handled. Stir the shredded chicken back into the soup, and continue cooking for 2 hours. Serve topped with shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.

    Fat: 17.7 g (??)
    Fiber: 8.7 g

    If you're a Weight Watcher, I'd recommend running this through the Recipe Builder to get more accurate counts 'cause I don't think it has 17 g of fat per serving, unless they're counting the cheese, sour cream and chips. Then add the garnishes separately if you use them.

    Creamy Potato Soup

    6 meduim potatoes, peeled and cubed.
    1 onion, minced.
    2 cans chicken broth (14 oz each)
    8 oz. American Cheese

    1/2 teaspoon pepper

    In your slow cooker, combine potatoes, chicken broth, onion and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. With a potato masher, mash potatoes in the slow cooker (no not drain). About an hour before serving add half & half and cheese. Cook an additional hour.

    Serves 4-6.
    *We loved this but I realized afterwards that my PG brain forgot the onion!

  • some of these sound great!  Thanks for sharing...

     

    If I need something super quick, I just throw some frozen boneless/skinless chicken breasts in with some bbq or salsa, and then make sides based on that.   

  • My go to recipe: 

    Chicken Breasts

    Fresh Green Beans

    New potatoes ( quartered)

    Can of cream of muhsroom soup

    Packet of onion soup mix!

    You don't need to add any other water, etc.  cook on low for 8 hours.

     

    You can swap the chicken and green beans for a roast and carrots!!!

    Ditto. I use at least one recipe a week from this site.  Tonight I made the green pepper chicken on the front page and it was super yummy (and inexpensive).   Another one of our favorites is the crockpot falafels- they amazingly come out crispy!  

    Enjoy your crock.  I just got my second one this Christmas (I had a 6 quart, but wanted a smaller one).  I am slowly becoming the crockpot lady. :)
