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

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.
