Crockpot



Recommended Posts

Green Chili chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or however many you need)

1 can green chili enchilada sauce

sliced onions, optional

Throw everything in the crockpot. Cook on low 6 hours or so. If you are pressed for time, you can cook on high for about 4 hours, but the sauce tends to burn around the edge.

Shred chicken with two forks and have on tacos, tostadas, or burritos. Also great the next day on salad.

Okay here is my easy Potroast:

1 Lean Beef Roast (choose your style, butt, shoulder, etc)

1 Pk Lipton Onion Soup Mix

1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup

I always start mine in the morning (if you cook overnight you are just torturing yourself!). Add Roast to cooker (fat side up) and dump in remaining ingredients. Cook on low heat for 8 hours. One hour before serving add Carrotts, Potatos, (any veggie you want). It's so good. and tender. Love It!

You know everyone in my family calls me the "crock pot queen", lol. I guess because I pretty much cook EVERYTHING in the crockpot. I have three crock pots and sometimes have them all going at once. lol. I cook dessert, bfast, you name it, it goes in the crockpot, even meatloaf. so yummy. Here is some of my favorites:

Smothered Meatloaf:

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Potatoes O'Brien (recommended: Ore-Ida)
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 1/4 pounds ground pork
  • 1 (5.29-ounce) box Garlic Herb shake and Bake (recommended: Kraft)
  • 1 (1.1-ounce) envelope Beefy Onion Soup Mix (recommended: Lipton)
  • 1 (4.5-ounce) jar Sliced Mushrooms, drained (recommended: Green Giant)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 (12-ounce) can condensed Cheddar soup, divided
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 (10-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 onion, sliced thin
  • 1 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms

Directions

Place potatoes in the bottom of a 5-quart slow cooker.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, shake and bake, onion soup mix, sliced mushrooms, and egg. Set aside.

In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup Cheddar soup and evaporated milk. Add to meat mixture. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands mix thoroughly and form into a loaf. Place in slow cooker on top of the potatoes. Make sure meatloaf does not touch the sides of the slow cooker.

Stir together remaining cheddar soup with cream of mushroom soup. Pour over meatloaf. Top with onions and mushrooms.

Cover and cook on HIGH setting for 1 hour. Reduce the temperature to LOW setting and cook for an additional 5 to 6 hours.

I have made it with just beef and left out the pork, still good. I have also made it without the potatoes, its wonderful.

      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.
