I made Italian Chicken in the Crockpot the other night.

4 boneless chicken breasts
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 pkt of Italian dressing mix
8 oz Cream cheese
1 can Cream of Chicken soup

Place chicken in Crock pot, Pour melted butter over top and sprinkle with dressing mix. Cook on low for about 4 hours.

Mix soup and cream cheese together in a bowl. Pour into Crockpot and mix with juices to combine. Cook for another 30 - 45 minutes. Serve over Egg Noodles.

Saucy Maple Style Ribs

1.5 lbs Country style ribs
1/3 C Maple Syrup (PLEASE use the REAL stuff and not pancake syrup that's just corn syrup and maple flavor it makes a HUGE difference!)
1 TBS Soy Sauce
2 TBS onion
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 ground ginger
1/4 tsp all spice
1/4 tsp garlic powder
dash pepper

Place ribs in Crockpot, top with onion. Mix remaining ingredients together and pour over ribs. Cover and cook 7 - 9 hours.

Here is a really good one for pork chops.

4-6 pork chops
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 15 oz. can of tomato sauce
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp prepared mustard
1 tbsp. lemon juice

Layer in the crockpot and let it cook for 6-8 hours.

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!!!

Now this is my kind of thread! I need all the help I can get in the kitchen! LOL! I just had to jump in and share this recipe... it's super easy and soooo good!

3-5 chicken breasts (2-3 if they're really big)
1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 cup barbeque sauce

Put all ingredients in crock on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-6 hours. I serve it with mashed potatoes sweet corn on the cob! I call this Jen's Cranberry Chicken because the recipe came from my friend Jen (JJStamper here on SCS).

Can't wait to try some of the other recipes that have been shared!

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.

My crock pot is my favourite kitchen appliance - I have 3 and use them all frequently.

Here's a great dessert for in the crock pot - be warned it disspears quickly!

Thanks ladies for the yummy recipes, here's an easy one.

One whole chicken (what ever size that fits into your CP) washed and cleaned. Sprinkle salt and pepper inside and stuff with one stalk of celery, one small onion and apple cut into quarters, fresh rosemary and sage. Rub chicken skin with butter and place in CP cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Discard the stuffing before serving. Hint prep chicken the night before and refrigerate takes a couple of minutes to put in CP and your out the door in no time.
