NBR: Favorite Crock Pot recipes

acardona1010 · June 2012

On blended families someone asked for favorite chicken crock pot recipes. It got me thinking. I LOVE crock pot recipes! What are your favorites? (Anything, not just chicken recipes). Here's mine:

Easy Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti

16 oz spaghetti (I use bowtie pasta and cook it separate)

16 oz velveeta light

1 can cream of mushroom

1 can cream of chicken

1 can rotel

2 cups cooked chicken, chopped (I shred mine)

1/2 onion, chopped

1/2 cup water

Salt and pepper to taste

Combine ingredients in crockpot and cook on low for 2-3 hours. I add the pasta in the last 30 minutes.

Smothered Steak

Round steak or cube steak, tenderized (I just use how much I need)

1 can cream of mushroom

1 packet of onion soup mix

1/4 cup water

Combine ingredients and cook on HiGH for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Stir occasionally.

Haha.....I was totally going to try the chicken spaghetti today. I found it on pinterest and it sounded soo good.....but I saw that it only cooked for 2-3 hours so didn't start it this morning. So I decided I'd just cook it on the stovetop tonight for this time. I had some cooked chicken in the fridge I was going to use and DH got it out and obviously it had been in there longer than I thought so now we have no chicken to use. We decided he'd just run to the store and get a roaster chicken so now not only are we not having this cooked by crockpot but we aren't having the "right" kind of chicken with it either! haha Hopefully it will still turn out but if not I'll definiatly have to try it again. Just thought it was pretty funny that we were trying this new recipe and then you randomly posted about it! May have to try the steak too

I make my chili in the crock pot. I take 1 lb of ground beef and fry it up. I put that in the crock pot along with 2 cans of tomatoes (or you can chop some up, either way works), a chopped onion, 3-4 cans of chili beans, and a large (like the huge ones you get over in the juice aisle) can of tomato juice. I cook it on low for 8 hours. Super yummy.

I love mexican chicken- 1 lb of chicken breast, 1 jar of salsa. Cook then shred and serve in tacos. I add some sliced jalapeno if we have it.

Beef roast or beef tips- 2 lbs beef, 1 can cream of crap, 1 can french onion soup, 1/2 can water, some kitchen bouqet, some worcestershire, some hot sauce, then I coat the beef in steak seasoning and layer sliced onion on top, then a 1T of tapioca to thicken. I serve this over noodles so when I start the water for those I add peas to the crockpot.

I also have a beautiful cherried pork loin I do, but can't remember the recipe.

I also like soups- chili, potato, chicken chili.

I love the crock pot.

I rarely use my crock pot. I'm going to have to steal these to try sometimes! I love easy cooking!

Enchilada Chili. MOST AMAZING CHILI EVAR!

1lb ground beef, turkey, w/e "meat" substitute you use.

2 Cans Chili Beans in Sauce

2 Cans (I use the large ones, more liquid = yumminess) Enchilada sauce

1 Can rotel (can omit if you don't like tomatoes)

1 Can corn

1/2 Packet of taco seasoning

Sprinkle Cumin all over

Mix it all together, cook on high for 3-4 hours (stir sometimes if you do this) or 5-6 hours on low.

I serve with a dollop of sour cream, sprinkle cheese, and some fresh cilantro. IT'S AMAZING.

Taco Soup (it's actually a weight watchers recipe!)

1 lb ground beef (we have also used ground turkey)

1/2-cup water

1 package Ranch Dressing mix

1 package taco seasoning

1 can chili beans

1 can corn

1 can rotel

1 onion diced (I typically use dehydrated onions because I hate cutting them)

Brown ground beef. Add your water and seasoning mixes to the crockpot and mix thoroughly. Add in your canned corn, rotel, chili beans and onion (I drain about half of the liquid off the corn, but leave everything else just the way it comes). Then add in your cooked ground beef and stir it all together. I typically put it on low and let it simmer all day. Serve with tortilla chips and shredded cheese.

Okay, nothing ground breaking here, but super easy for those days when you know you're getting home late and won't have time to prep...

1-2 chicken breasts (1 feeds me plus DH)

1 can salsa (we like spicy, but you can do mild/meduim)

Cover the breast(s) in salsa and throw the crock pot on low in the morning. No matter how late you get home, the chicken won't dry out. Whenever you're ready, take two forks and pull the breast apart and stir in with the (somewhat reduced) salsa. Makes an excellent filling for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc.

Its funny that 2 people have posted this recipe. I made this when I first found out I was pregnant. It was yummy while I was eating it but afterwards I wanted to gag! Now every time I even think about it or avocado, I want to throw up. I guess I won't be having that one anytime soon. Also not looking forward to my next ticker change, avocado.

Pulled Pork is by far the favourite in our house

Simple - Pork shoulder, and the packet of clubhouse pulled pork (follow directions pack).

put it in a bun, devour as required.

(makes for happy husbands.)

You can do this with pork, a jar of salsa verde, chopped onions and diced green chiles. Easy and pretty tasty.

An easy one I like is a chuck roast, can of mushrooms, can of crushed tomatoes on low for 7+ hours. Serve with egg noodles. Very tasty and easy. I do add garlic and italian herbs to the recipe as well.
