I have one that I LOVE...... you can make it as spicy or plain as wanted. Let it cook all day, serve on fresh potato rolls. YUM. :heart:

Adobo Pulled Pork

1 - 8 oz can of smoked chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1/2 sweet onion cut into chunks
2-3 large cloves of crushed garlic
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp salt
generous amounts of black pepper
1 - 15 oz can of crushed or diced tomatoes
1 chipotle can of water
4 thick cut pork chops or 1 .5 lb pork loin roast

I add the peppers and sauce to a collander and let the adobo sauce drain into the crock pot while I chop onion and pull out the other ingredients. Then toss about 3-4 of the peppers into the crock pot. This amount depends on how spicy you want it. Add everything else to the crock and cook on high for 8 hours. Then take the pork out and shred. Add sauce back into the meat as needed to make it moist (the sauce will be spicy!)

You can actually just shred it in the pot also. it is fork tender and will pull apart nicely.
enjoy!!!!

Hey - I haven't been around too much...life got turned upside down for a while...wanted to let you know if you haven't tried this yet...it's ok, but it's VERY VERY SWEET. You may want to serve it with some ice cream or something else to take away a bit of the sweetness...

Looking forward to the spring release ladies!!!

Here's a good Vegetarian Chili one...

1 can Chili Starter

4 cans beans (I like the chili beans. Drain the sauce if it's water, but keep it if its a spicy saucy type)

1 can stewed tomatos (basil and garlic, or something you like)

1 large jar of spagetti sauce

1 onion

2 tbsp chili powder

1 bag Morning Star Veggie Crumbles

Saute the onion, and add all ingredients to large crock pot set on low for 4+ hours. It's super yummy on a cold day topped with sour cream, and even better the next day. And this recipe makes plenty for the next day! Hope you like it as much as we do!

from Adrian:

Chicken – as much as you want – on or off the bone (I use on the bone because I think it gives more flavor.)
2 – 3 onions – I just peal it and make big round slices
2-cans cream soup – I use mushroom but you can use whatever you want (just pick something that will make a good gravy)
2-3-whole cloves of garlic – don’t dice or cut up.
Spice – whatever you want – every time I make it I use something different. This is one of the things I like about this recipe so much it’s so versatile.

Put the chicken on the bottom of the cooker. Wedge the garlic in with the chicken. Arrange all the round onion slices on top of the chicken, and then empty the cans of soup on top of the onions. I spread it around so it’s covering the onions. If you like a lot of gravy add another can of soup. Cover and let it cook all day on high.

You can use chicken on or off the bone. If you use chicken on the bone just be careful with small children because the chicken comes out falling off the bone. I make mashed potatoes when I make this because I hate to waste the chicken & mushroom gravy you end up with.

Also, I don’t add salt because soup has so much in it. But if you want to add it I wouldn’t add it until it’s on the table.

I’ve made this for 30 years (God do I sound old) anyway, every time I make it for someone new they don’t leave without me writing down how I made this.

Slow Cooker Fresh Vegetable-Beef-Barley Soup

50 Ratings
19 Reviews
Soup's on! Bursting with big, juicy chunks of meat, hearty barley and a harvest of yummy vegetables, this soup is a meal in itself.

Prep Time:20 min
Start to Finish:9 hr 20 min
Makes:10 servings

1 1/2 pounds beef stew meat
1 small bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
3/4 cup 1-inch pieces green beans
3/4 cup chopped onion
2/3 cup uncooked barley
2/3 cup fresh whole kernel corn
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cans (14 ounces each) beef broth
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes with garlic, undrained
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce

1. Mix all ingredients in 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker.
2. Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 9 hours (or high heat setting 4 to 5 hours) or until vegetables and barley are tender.

Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer’s directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.
(Total time will vary with appliance and setting.)

*Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.

Purchasing
Select lean stew meat, or trim the extra fat before adding the beef to the soup. Trimming will take a little bit of time, but the result will be worth it because you won't have to spend time later skimming off fat.
Special Touch
Top this soup with a handful of herb-flavored croutons and a little shredded Parmesan cheese.
Substitution
If you can't find the canned diced tomatoes with garlic, use 2 cans of plain diced tomatoes and add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
Time Saver
To save time and to make this hearty soup in the winter months, use 3/4 cup frozen cut green beans and 2/3 cup frozen whole kernel corn. Rinse the frozen vegetables under cold running water to separate and partially thaw them before adding to the soup.

Chicken Cordon Bleu (5.5 Points)

4-6 chicken breasts (pounded out thin) •
4-6 pieces of ham •
4-6 slices of Swiss or mozzarella cheese •
1 can cream of mushroom soup (can use any cream soup) •
1/4 cup milk

Put ham and cheese on chicken. Roll up and secure with a toothpick. Place chicken in the crockpot so it looks like a triangle /_\ Layer the rest on top. Mix soup with the milk; pour over top of chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until chicken is no longer pink. Serve over noodles with the sauce it makes. Note: Its the best recipe I've tried so far, very flavorful.
5-6 pts. , depending on the size of the chicken breast. I used a 3 oz chicken breast (3 pts.) 96% fat free ham (.5 pts), 2% moz cheese (1 pt.). Then when you add the cream of mushroom soup (98% ff) and 1/4 c. milk (fat free) and divide by the 6 servings I had in the crockpot, I only came up with about 1 pt. for that (at most). Total = 5.5 pts.

We have a few crockpot recipes that we absolutely LOVE. Here is one of them.

Creamy Ranch Chicken
I make this extra soupy, and fill up the rice cooker with rice - the original recipe just called for the soup to go over the chicken but we LOVE this over rice.

2-3 lbs boneless chicken breast or tenderloins
4 10oz cans cream of mushroom soup
2 packets dry ranch dip/dressing mix
16oz cream cheese
Basil, salt and pepper to taste

Put chicken in bottom, pour soup, dressing mix, basil, salt, pepper and cream cheese over top. Cook for 2 hours on high, 4 hours on low. Serve over rice. Half the soup and cream cheese if you only want it over the chicken breasts.

1 medium onion, sliced
2 cups Progresso® diced tomatoes with Italian herbs (from 28-oz can), undrained
1 jar (12 ounces) beef gravy
Chopped fresh parsley, if desired

1. Cut beef into 6 serving pieces. Spray 12-inch skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle beef with seasoned salt. Cook in skillet 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until brown.
2. Layer potatoes, carrots, beef and onion in 4- to 5-quart slow cooker. Mix tomatoes and gravy; spoon over mixture in slow cooker.

Health Twist
Leaving the peel on the potatoes not only retains nutrients but also helps potatoes keep their shape. Just scrub and cut as directed.
Substitution
Peppered seasoned salt is one of the newest varieties of seasoned salt available in the supermarket. If you can't find it, use regular seasoned salt and sprinkle the beef with pepper, or you can just use salt and pepper.

My all time favorite is: put in 1 round steak (cut into portion size pieces); cover with one or two cans of cream of mushroom soup. Let cook all day! Yummy and tender. Gravy is great over mashed potatoes! Even none mushroom people love it and want seconds on gravy!

10 oz. can sliced mushrooms (optional)

1 tsp. granulated sugar or cinamon (optional)
1/2 tsp. salt (or less, or none)
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/4 - 1/2 cup of water

scramble-fry ground beef prior to placing in crock pot

put all ingredients in crock pot and stir well
cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3 to 3 1/2 hours

~~ everything is all cooked so I don't really get the times
~~ you can leave it in for a shorter time with no problem except that maybe the flavors will not be blended very well.

Here is my all time favorite crock pot recipe:

Beef Dip

1 can of beer
1 can of beef consomme
1 pkg Au Jus seasoning
1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing

Mix the above contents in your crock pot add to it one beef roast ( any type will do but I prefer the leaner cuts) . Cook on high all day. Take out the roast and shred it with two forks. Serve on crusty buns with the jus as dip. Mmmmm good.

I have also had pork tenderloin done in the crock pot with BBQ sauce of your choice, onions sliced very thin and minced garlic added to the sauce. Again just shred the meat with two forks and serve on buns.

Cherry Pork Chops in the Crock Pot

I have so enjoyed these recipes -- I thought I would share one --when my daughter was younger -- she was very finicky about what she would eat. I found this recipe and she loved it.

6 boneless pork chops, cut 3/4" thick
salt
pepper
1/2 of a 21 oz can cherry pie filling
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp instant chicken bouillon granules
1/8 tsp mace

Trim excess fat from pork chops. In a large skillet brown the pork chops. Sprinkle each chop with salt and papper.
In the crock pot stir together the cherry pie filling, lemon juice, chicken bouillon granules and ground mace; mix well. Place the browned pork chops atop the cherry mixture. Cover and cook on low setting for 4 to 5 hours.
Serve with sauce poured over the chops.

I used to also serve the remaining half of cherry pie filling can cold -- which my daughter actually preferred. I liked the hot -- she liked the cold sauce.

I love to make this soup when it gets colder out. It's so easy too.

1 - 48oz jar of Great Northern Beans (I use Randalls brand)
1/2 a medium onion - chopped
1 carrot chopped
2 ribs of celery chopped
1 ham shank or diced ham (optional)
2 soup-size cans of chicken broth (I prefer low sodium)
1 bay leaf

Directions:
1. Chop your onion, carrot and celery, put them in the crock pot.
2. Place the ham shank (or diced ham) in the pot.
3. Pour the entire container of beans over top - juice and all.
4. Pour the chicken broth in until the broth covers the beans by about a 1/2".
5. Toss in the bay leaf.
6. Turn on the crock pot and go.

Everything in the pot just needs time to warm up and flavors to blend. The soup is ready to go when you are. I've eaten it in as little time as 3 hours, but it's also been great after 10. The house smells incredible.

When I cook with a ham shank, I pull it out just before I'm ready to eat and pull the meat off the bone and put the meat back in the pot to eat in the soup.

Season as you wish.

Here is a very easy recipe (and I mean EASY) that tastes so good. It is like a hash recipe but I don't care for hash but love this. Give it a try.

1 1/2 - 2 lbs beef stew meat

1 (20 oz) bag diced or has brown potatoes (I used diced with onions & even added an extra bag of hashbrowns to stretch the recipe - worked great - brand was "Simply Potatoes")

1 onion (I omoitted since my potatoes had onions)

1 cup beef broth

1/4 cup butter, melted

Salt & pepper, to taste

Stir together & cook on low until meat is cooked to your liking. (The recipe says 6-8 hours, but it is too long for my pot...it was perfect in 5 hours).

Crockpot Beef Roast

slice an onion and put in bottom of crockpot
put frozen beef roast on top of onion
add about 2 inches of water (can substite beef broth or V8 juice if desired)
season top of roast if desired
add potatoes, carrots, celery, garlic and more onion if you want
cook on low all day or high half the day

I usually cook this roast minus the veggies and will seve it with rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.

I love making this because I can pop the roast in frozen as I often forget to thaw things. The frozen method also works for pork and chicken recipes.

Here is my favorite crock pot recipe
Green Chili Burritos
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can green chilies
2 pork chops (or left over pork roast (cubed) is good too)

cook on low for 8 hours, shred the meat, laddle into tortillas. roll up and top with cheese. I do mine right on the plate and stick under the broiler to melt the cheese. You can use a toothpick to keep the tortilla closed. (this is when it is just me and the hubby) for a family, my mom always put the tortillas into a 9 x 12 pan and rolled them, open side down, topped with cheese and then melt in the oven. It sound like a lot of work as I'm typing it, but it goes super fast and is well worth it! This amount fed me and the hubby for two meals, it is easy to make more.

From Stamp_momma:

Hmmm, I am a CPer, too! I can't wait to try some of y'alls recipes. Here is one of our favorites - with a bonus!

White Chicken Chili

2 cans Great Northern Beans (drained)
2 cans of White Hominy (drained)
2 small cans diced green chilis
2 cans of reduced fat cream of mushroom soup
1 packet of low sodium taco seasoning
2-3 good size chicken breasts

Combine all but chicken and stir in crock pot. Add chicken breasts to top of soup mixture, cook 4-6 hours on high. Shred chicken with fork and stir into the soup mixture.

Serve garnished with shredded cheddar, sour cream and slivered green onions. I always serve this with Beer Bread - I promise if you like the home party mix kind, you'll lOVE this, and it might cost you all of a dollar - including the beer!

Beer Bread (any carbonated beverage will work)

3 cups SELF RISING Flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 room temp 12 oz. beer - any brand
1/2 stick butter

Mix flour and sugar, add beer and slightly beaten egg. Stir til all ingredients are wet and lumpy. Put into a large bread loaf pan. Melt butter and pour over the top. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes until golden brown on top. Pull from oven and let stand 10 minutes before dumping from pan and slicing.

1 cup barbeque sauce

My most favorite crockpot meal (probably 'cuz it's so easy)...

a boneless pork loin (I use anywhere from 2 to 4 lbs, depending on what's in the freezer)
1 packet of dry onion soup mix
1 can of coke (NOT diet!)

Put the loin in the crockpot. Pour the coke over it. Sprinkle the soup mix on top and around. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Thicken the sauce at the end 'cuz it's yummy!

I *heart* my crockpot!!!

from tuesdayswife:

Taco Soup
1 large can of diced tomatoes
1 large can of tomato sauce
1 package taco seasoning
1 can whole kernel corn (do not drain)
1 lb hamburger, turkey, etc browned
1 medium onion (chopped)
2 Tbsp Chili powder

Put all ingrediants in a crock pot and let it go! (I usually put it on low and let it go all day. If I'm in a hurry, I'll put it on high and let it go for about 4 hours). Top with Fritos, sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese.

Beef Roast
~ Beef Roast (size really doesn't matter as long as it fits in your crock pot!) Sear (brown the outside) of the roast in a skillet. This seals in the flavor and juices.
~ Carrots (I just dump in a small bag of baby carrots)
~ Potatoes (cubed)
~ Onion (chopped)
~ Beef Bullion (either one large bullion or 2 small)
~ Pour about 1/2 can (or enough to just cover the bottom of the crock pot) of Dr Pepper, Pepsi, Coke, etc (a dark soda) into the crock pot

Let simmer all day. I've made this MANY times and it is SO EASY but SUCH a hit!!! The soda really gives it the added flavor and, in my personal opinion, makes the meat really tender. It just falls apart. YUMMY!!!!

from Zee:

Easy Cheesy Chicken
2 cans of Campbells Cream of chicken soup
One can of Campbells chedder soup
Mix them together in a bowl (even I can do that!!!)

Place desired amount of frozen chicken breast or tenders in the bottom of the CP and put over the soups. Cook on low for about 6 hours.

VOILA!

It is SO tasty. I have mine with wide egg noodles. I love how the chicken just falls apart - YUM!
I have made it with Mushroom soup instead of the chedder soup and that's yummy too...just not AS yummy

from mlj38:

Chicken Stroganoff

In the crock pot put:

4 boneless skinelss chicken breasts cut into chunks
1/2 cube butter or margarine
1 pkg. dry Italian Dressing mix (like Good Seasons)
Turn the crock pot on low for 5 hours.

After the time is up add:
1 block of cream cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup

After about 10-15 minutes it will be all melted and you give it a good stir to mix well. We served it over egg noodles, but you could use rice also.
YUMMY!!!
