I realized I have very few crock pot recipes. So what's your favorite?

It's not the recipe I always use but is pretty close (the other is in a book and I don't want to type it out) - beef bourguignon

Vegarian chili with sweet potatoes. It's amazing.

I would suggest doubling the cinnamon, adding extra sweet potatoes and garlic.

I second @PrivacyWanted re: pulled pork. We also do that with chicken.

Also, sometimes I just throw some chicken breasts in with a jar of salsa. Shred, and use it for tacos or throw over a salad.

Chicken tortilla soup - chicken breasts, can of diced tomatoes, can of enchilada sauce, diced onion and garlic, chili powder, corn, black beans, chicken broth, and a can of chiles (I usually do without). Throw it all in, shred the chicken after 6-8 hours on low, it's delicious. We serve it with bread or cheese quesadillas. DD1 doesn't eat anything, but DD2 loves it.

Pork butt seasoned with onion and garlic powder with 1 chopped onion and Dr. Pepper. Cook 8+ hours on low. Take out onion, shred, mix with your favorite BBQ sauce (I use Head Country). Serve on hamburger buns or over a baked potato.

Salsa chicken: boneless chicken breasts (I usu. do like 3-4)t, add a can of cheddar cheese soup or shredded cheddar cheese, 1 jar salsa and a pkg of taco seasoning (I mix my own sometimes instead), cook on low for 8 or so hours. I shred it and we eat it over rice, in tacos or taco salad, quesadillas, etc.

White chicken chili: small pack of boneless chicken breasts, 1 jar salsa, 2 cans white beans, 1 can low sodium chicken broth, 1 8oz block pepper jack cheese shredded. Cook on low, 8 hrs. I love this with crunched up tortilla chips on top.

Spicy Italian sandwiches: 1 beef roast, 1 jar pepperocini peppers (basically banana peppers), 1 pkg italian dressing powder mix, 1 can beef broth. Shred and serve on toasted buns with mozzarella or provolone cheese.

Chicken Tacos: Frozen chicken breasts (3-4), container of fresh pico de gallo from the store, chicken taco seasoning packet, 1/4 cup water. Cook low all day. Shred.

Beef Tips: 2 lb stew meat chunks, 1 cup sherry cooking wine, 1 packet of dried onion soup, 1 can of condensed golden mushroom soup, can add cut up onions or mushrooms. Cook on low all day and serve over egg noodles or rice.

Can you share your taco seasoning recipe? DD has multiple food allergies that includes some spices, so we pretty much can't serve her anything packaged. I'd love to do tacos but have no idea what goes into the seasoning.

I love to make ribs in the slow cooker. My husband hates it if I cook them any other way.

Remove the membrane, rub garlic power, salt, and pepper over the ribs
Cut the ribs in half and put them in the slow cooker - pour a bottle of beer over them
Cook on low for 6-8 hours (rotate the ribs halfway through if you can but if not, no big deal)
Remove them carefully from the slow cooker (they tend to fall apart if you are not careful) and put them on a baking sheet
Pour BBQ sauce on top and broil them for 5 minutes so the BBQ sauce sticks to the ribs
Serve with potato salad, corn, beans etc.

I have 2 slow cooker cookbooks: Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook for 2 (recipes for smaller slow-cookers but can be doubled or tripled in large crockpot) and Vegetarian Slow Cooker.

Better Homes and Gardens cookbook has a small chapter called Crockery Cooking, plus many of the soup, stew, and roast recipes include slow cooker directions.

Thank you so much! I'm excited to try several new recipes over the next few weeks.

I make this about once a month:

Apricot-Glazed Pork Roast

3 to 3.5 pound boneless pork shoulder roast
18 oz. jar apricot preserves
1/4 c. chicken broth
2 T Dijon mustard
1 large onion, chopped

Trim fat and place roast in slow cooker. Mix preserves, broth, mustard, and onion in bowl and then pour over roast. Cook on low for 10-12 hours or on high for 5-6 hours. I serve on rice and spoon the sauce over everything. The meat is usually so tender it just falls apart. Everyone who's tried it loves it.

This is the only way I make meatloaf and it turns out perfect everytime

I just did basically this exact recipe but with 2lbs chicken thighs and it turned out awesome.

Sure! Well, I will try. I kind of wing it and then adjust it to taste

I mix ground cumin, garlic powder, paprika, & chile powder. Maybe add a little cayenne powder or onion powder to taste. I would do equal parts of the cumin, chile powder and paprika and then 1/3 part of garlic powder.

For something like the salsa chicken, I'd do like 3 tablespoons. For tacos, I'd do 2-3 tbsp and then add more if needed.

Chicken enchiladas!

Put about 1 lb chicken breast, a tbsp ranch dressing, 1 1/2 cans enchilada sauce (we like the green sauce), and a small can of chilies (optional) in a crock pot on high for 3-4 hours. Shred chicken with a fork, put in tortillas, place in glass baking dish, pour the rest of the enchilada sauce on top, sprinkle with Mexican/taco cheese, and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Top with guacamole, sour cream, hot sauce, etc. Even my picky husband loves this!

Yummy! I can't wait to try some of these!!!

Two favorites:

https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/slow-cooker-beef-stroganoff/1b3f2c90-0924-4744-a7c2-1b82a4d4e133 So bad for you but SO yummy and easy!

https://www.food.com/recipe/americas-test-kitchen-slow-cooker-beef-burgundy-413145 Takes a little bit to set up, but very good. We make it on a weekend when there's time in the morning for the prep work, then let it cook all day.
