Slow Cooker Recipes

Oh my gosh this all sounds so good! I am getting out my crockpot this weekend!! Keep 'em coming! I don't have a good suggestion except I have made one similar to @@Cervidae except lots of lime juice instead of red wine vinegar. Yummy! And the broth afterwards is very good too! I didn't like mine when I made it with thighs because of the fat left in the broth, but that's just me....

Boneless chicken, 2-3 breasts or 4-5 thighs.

1 large can of pinto Beans

can of corn

can of Rotel (your choice of heat)

jar of your favorite salsa

Dump it all in and cook for 8-10 hours on low.

Serve with sour cream, salsa and tortilla chips (for the family)

If you are in a hurry, use canned chicken (rinsed) and it will cook in 4-6 hours.

Another device option I am just learning to use, but LOVE is my NuWave oven. It can cook FROZEN food so quickly, in about the same time as thawed food. Just made a FROZEN, 4.5lb bone-in turkey breast this weekend, only 15 minutes per pound, to juicy perfection (sounds like an advertisement, but it is TRUE!!!). I've done beef roasts, prime rib in it, as well, absolutely awesome.

It is great when I forget to get the meat out of the freezer in time to thaw, because now I don't need to thaw it at all. Got it off of QVC, as well.

Love my electric pressure cooker, too. For those cheaper, tougher cuts of meat (chuck roasts), you can't beat it. Divine ribs, chicken. And it is so fast.

These things DO take up space, but I find them well worth the space they take, and the initial cost ($) of them, as I find I am not wasting money on poorly cooked food anymore.

LOVE all of your suggestions!!!!

I use my crock pot 3-4 days a week. I make everything in it! chicken, beef, turkey, pork...whatever! I don't really do recipes. I just grab Protein, veggies and flavor. Don't be a afraid to be creative with your crock pot!

Inner Surfer Girl,

Hey, good for you for breaking out that slow cooker! I bet a lot more of us (more than we care to admit) depend too much on others and should be cooking for ourselves a little more. Thanks for sharing your idea and starting this thread.

Cervidae: sounds good!

I finally learned to cook in the past year or 2, partly due to a small remodeled kitchen, (its clean ! And organized !), and the rest I owe to Pinterest !

My old Crockpot slow cooker finally stopped working about two years ago after nearly 28 years of faithful service! It was my first "grown-up" purchase after moving out of my parent's house at the age of 19. I bought a 3-in-1 to replace it, and I love the thing. The slow cooker has always had a lot of use with me: through winter for making Soups, but year-round also for stews, braises, casseroles etc. I tend to just make it up as I go along, so don't really have any recipes...just chuck in whatever is in the fridge and hope for the best!

I'm the same way. I've never really used recipes just use what I have to make a delicious meal.

I am a HUGE slow cooker fan, and I've got TONS of recipes including many for diabetics which would suit those of us who are post-op very well. I can post some if you tell me what you're interested in.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
