I love the crockpot and make a crockpot every Monday (my longest day of work). I need some new ideas! What are some of your favorite recipes?

    We have been doing crock pot French dips. A London broil, can of beef broth, can of French onion soup. Shred near when done and put on a roll.
    Another favorite is chicken fajitas. Chicken breast, peppers and onions , cup of chicken stock, packet of taco season. Shred chicken when done and easy on flour tortilla.

    Check out Six Sisters Stuff. They have an amazing array of crock pot (and other) meals. We had the Sesame Chicken last night, it's been a favorite for awhile!

    I do turkey chili often and it comes out great. We have also done enchiladas a few times that come out great.

    Beef and barley stew. And french dips, as mentioned above, only we add a beer to the broth. Yummy!

    We do chicken parmesan frequently. So easy and turns out great - as long as you don't cook more than four hours.

    They were delicious.

    Stuffed green peppers were made in it last night (google any recipe, really)

    I also do chili, fajitas, pulled pork, a myriad of soups.  I have the large Fix it and Forget It crockpot cookbook.   I use mine 2-3x/week.

    Thanks for this idea! I was lurking in this thread and decided to try it and it was so good, even my 6yo loved it.

    I wish I had ideas to share but DH usually hates crockpot foods. We typically use it to cook plain chicken breasts that we shred and freeze and later use to mix with other meals.

    I used to hate crockpot meals.  They all ended up looking like the same brown blob.  Newer (and cleaner) crockpot recipes are totally different.  Also using a newer crockpot with a timer that kicks over to warm really helps. 

    I may have shared this before but it is delicious.  Skinny Taste has a ton of great crockpot meals for anyone looking for some that don't contain cream of soups and a ton of sodium.

    Agree!  That exact recipe is a go-to for my family.  I've even made it for company!

    I use the leftovers as filling on soft tacos the next day.  I add salsa for "taco" flavors.  Or you can do a lime vinaigrette and broccoli slaw mix for a different style soft taco.

    Since it's your longest day - for anything over 8 hours I like to stick with roasts as they do well over longer periods.


    IE Pork Butt - cover in Root beer - leave on for entirety of your work day. Come home, drain, then shred the meat and mix in with your favorite BBQ sauce = really good pulled pork.


    We do this now with Cherry Coke and a splash of liquid smoke.

    I made beef stew (variation of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook recipe) today, cooked on high for 4 hours.  Came out beautifully.  We are having some of it for lunches tomorrow, and I froze the rest for later in the week.
