CanyonBaby 1,852 Posted September 30, 2015 I'll throw this into the pot, too (pun intended!!!): don't forget you can use that slow cooker for leftovers, as well. Tomorrow I'll put that leftover roast beef in with my garden veggies, some broth and seasoning, and make a nice stew...it just won't take as long, since the meat is already cooked (used the pressure cooker 2 days ago to do the roast). I'll put it in for about 4 hours, just 'til the veggies are done, then add celery for a few minutes (I like it tender-crisp). Then off to a friend's whose husband just had surgery...they need to eat, too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I serve a meat with sides for dinner the kids ask me if we're having Soup, Beans or casserole tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
punkinvine 227 Posted September 30, 2015 I have not been at home due to illness in the family. Now that things have come full circle and we are home the slow cooker makes sense! I should do this. Thanks for getting me in the groove. I rinse a whole chicken. Put Lowery's seasoned salt inside it. Place a rib of celery and an onion in 1/4 ths in the cavity too. Turn on the slow cooker 4 hr high or 8 on low. Delicious and several meals are possible after we have the roast chicken the first time. I like chicken salad, creamed chicken and chicken and rice Soup made with the leftovers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried this one today and it was DELISH!!! I have to say that it was a little bit too salty for our liking so next time I'm going to add a little MORE Water and a little LESS soy sauce!!

SleevePerry 248 Posted October 8, 2015 I have this chicken Enchilada (Tortilla) Soup in the slow cooker now. Going to top it with cilantro, avocado and shredded cheese. Will forgo the tortilla chips, of course. http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/slow-cooker-chicken-enchilada-soup-recipe/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RILEYSMOM22 344 Posted October 12, 2015 I love my slow cooker, and with 5 kids (all grown now), I used it a lot. I always hated the clean-up! Then I discovered Reynolds slow cooker liners. They are plastic bags, (but don't melt) and when you are ready, just lift them out, leaving a clean crock-pot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
