Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

One that I do love is just a chicken breast or two covered with salsa. Cook for 8 hours on low, shred the chicken and serve over rice or potatoes (you can cook the potatoes with the chicken if you go that way).
Hmmm... chili. We made some chili during the summer and froze almost all of it, so we would have it to eat during the winter. It's hard to get fresh tomatoes and other fresh ingredients during the winter.
Also, I don't make chili in the crock. I make it in a pot on the stove. I xfer it to a crock if I need to keep it warm and transport it somewhere (like the office chili cook-off).
If you do use the site, i also recommend reading people's comments before testing the reciepes. There is usually excellent suggestions/modifications to a reciepe your viewing.
Happy cooking!
2-3 pounds stew meat
2 small cans (or one large can) condensed cream of mushroom soup
small container of sour cream.
Toss the stew meat and the soup in a crockpot for 5-6 hours on low.
20 minutes before you serve, mix in the sour cream.
Season to taste (I like to add some pepper, but the soup has enough salt that it's not necessary to add more)
Serve over egg noodles or rice.
It may not be as awesome as some of the other recipes here, but it's tasty, easy and fairly cheap.
This morning I put four short ribs (dry rubbed with a pepper/cumin/paprika/salt rub) in the crock pot.
Pot is now on low for the day. Not quite sure how it is going to turn out.
The recipe called for oven cooking at 200 for five hours. We decided to crock it instead.
1. Put a can of black beans (drained) and a can of corn into your crockpot.
2. PUt 2-3 chicken breasts on top.
3. Put a jar of salsa on top of that.
4. Cook on low 6-7 hours.
5. Throw shredded cheddar/jack cheese on top before serving. Enjoy!
And definitely thanks to everyone for their recipes.
SO DELICIOUS. I made sandwiches, and there is no extra sauce needed, because it is glorious.
Why? The whole point of slow cooking is that you don't need liquid to cook.
Your welcome <3
It's because of that site I got a wireless router so i can have the laptop in zee kitchen. It's even gotten my hubby to start cooking since it is also filled with so many simple reciepes. His nights to cook use to be pizza delivery or KD
If you have a recipe for slow cooker beef roast you can make it into a burgundy by adding mushrooms, pulling out the root veggies (except carrots), and put in (or replace the braising liquid with) a 60/40 mix of red wine and broth. Also I find pearl onions hold up better than regular onions in long slow cooks.
Fried on a pan turns out well but, I'm sure that's unhealthy.
veggies in the slow cooker: depends on the veggies. Tossing them in initially won't hurt, but some root veggies basically get cooked down to near baby-food consistency (carrots, parsnips, starchy potatoes). I use waxy potatoes so I can toss them in at the start, carrots I'll get home and then steam them and toss them in so they still have some resistance when you bite into them.
Try maybe rubbing the pan with olive oil? I have read about using it in popcorn instead of butter. Suppose to be alot better for you, maybe worth a shot!
Though hilarious in title, this book does have some decent recipes in it.
I've used a sandwich maker similar to this for making grilled cheese before. You can use real cheese, and cut down on the butter usage. Just a little on the outside of the sandwich, with some herbs for flavour.
I never finish anyth
edit
vegetables will depend on the type. big fat hunks of something dense can probably go in at the begining, but if doing it with meat i would probably put the meat down first then vegetables.
delicate stuff should wait until the end
