Slow cooker recipes

Hey does anyone have any yummy nonbeef slow cooker recipes? I am back at work full time Monday and I need new ideas

Re: Slow cooker recipes

  • Crockpot Pesto Ranch Chicken

    Creamy Italian Chicken

    Greek Chicken (for pita sandwiches)

    Ranch House Pork Chops

    Garlic Pesto Chicken with Tomato Cream Penne

    Salsa Chicken and same link for Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

    And you could make these Stuffed Peppers with turkey instead.

    Ok, I'm done now.  :) 

    All of these are able to be frozen at some point (whether throwing raw in a bag or after some cooking, it depends on which recipe).  So you could make two batches, throwing one in a freezer bag and the other in a crockpot and save yourself the time for the next meal.

    Oooooh!  Thank you for all these recipes!  I have just started becoming a slow cooker and I LOVE days I slow cook.  Here are a couple I've done with chicken:

    Balsamic Chicken - really good.  got this from another bumpie who no longer posts :(   recipe suggests serving it with pasta.  i prefer potatoes or cauliflower

    Garlic and Brown Sugar Chicken - this wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, but maybe it was because I think my chicken got over cooked and really dried out.  I served it with rice and broccoli 

    Santa Fe Chicken - I am making this tonight for the first time!  I'll either make rice and/or serve it with tortillas and maybe add salsa, avocados, cheese, sour cream, cut up tomatoes, cilantro, etc...

     

    OP - if you are on Pinterest, there is a treasure trove of crock pot recipes there.  (Or I find it really useful to pin all the crock pot recipes I find - I have  a special crock pot board.)  Yes, Pinterest has turned into a giant time suck for me, but I love it (in a very useful way!) for recipes (slow cooker and non).

  • One of my favorites is a "cheater" version of the Santa Fe chicken. I put four chicken breasts, two jars of mild salsa, a can of black beans and a can of corn into the crockpot. Then I shred the chicken and serve it over rice with sour cream. We use the left overs later in the week as taco meat. It's delicious and super easy!

  • Here's a super easy recipe:

     

    2 cans of Cheddar Cheese Soup

    2 cans of Cream of Chicken Soup 

    4 Chicken breasts

     Put chicken in crock pot.  Pour soup over chicken.  Cook on low for approx. 8 hours.  I usually serve over rice, but could also do potatoes and veggies.  It smells divine and is a family favorite!  Enjoy!  - I also add pepper for seasoning. 

  • Sure you don't want beef?

    Pork Tacos:

    Dump jar of 505 green chili on pork tenderloin in crockpot.  Cook on low all day.  Shred meat for tacos.  I like to use tortillas and top with lettuce, cheese, avocado, etc

    Crock Pot Chicken Terriyaki:

    1lb chicken (sliced, cubed or however, I like to use thighs),
    1c chicken broth,
    1/2c terriyaki or soy sauce,
    1/3c brown sugar,
    3minced garlic cloves

    Dump in crockpot.  Cook all day.  Serve with rice and stir fry veggies

    Slow Cooker Bacon-Wrapped Apple Chicken

        4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
        1 cup BBQ sauce I LOVE Sweet Baby Rays
        1/4 cup brown sugar
        1/8 cup lemon juice fresh or from a bottle
        5 small apples peeled and chopped, I used gala
        8 slices bacon

        In a small bowl, combine BBQ sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice and peeled/chopped apples.
        Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon and place in a greased slow cooker.
        Pour BBQ-apple mixture over chicken and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until chicken is done.

    Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

    Ingredients:

    4 1/2 cups chicken broth
    2 cups water
    2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1 package of Rice-a-Roni long grain and wild rice
    1/2 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
    1/2 tsp pepper
    1/2 cup all purpose flour
    1/2 cup butter
    2 cups half and half (I used fat-free half and half)
    1 cup grated carrots (I diced mine)
    1 cup diced celery

    Directions:

    Combine broth, water, carrots, celery, chicken and rice (along with seasoning packet) in a large slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours. Take out chicken and shred with two forks and then add back into slow cooker. In a small bowl combine salt, pepper, and flour. In medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in flour mixture by tablespoon to form a roux. Whisk in cream, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Stir cream mixture into slow cooker and then let cook on low for 15 more minutes.
