Crock Pot Recipies Wanted

[shelbylovesmelby]

Hey all I'm starting to get into Crock Pot cooking as my lil ones have issues w/ not staying out of the kitchen when the oven is on.

So I'm looking for simple, inexpensive, filling recipies....

Any suggestions?

Go look at this thread, , which will provide you some recipes. Equally important, it will refer to this web site , which looks good and is.

I also have had fun with some of the links on this site.

Here's another crock pot collection. I like the organization for ease in locating possibilities. Check here.

I also love my crock pot, as it works while I'm at work. It doesn't get any easier than this, and even my little kids will eat it:

Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken

Supplies:
Whole chicken, or chicken in pieces (can be white or dark meat)
Bottle BBQ sauce (I get mine at the $1 store!)

Steps:
1. Coat the inside of the slow cooker dish with a little oil to prevent sticking (I use olive oil)
2. Place chicken in the dish.
3. Pour most of the bottle of BBQ sauce over the chicken.
4. Thawed: cook on low for 6 hours Frozen: cook on low for 8-10 hours

The chicken will be super tender. Take off the meat and make into BBQ sandwiches or serve with salad.

I freeze leftovers of "whole" foods (corn, spaghetti sauce, hamburger meat, potatoes, tomatoes, beef broth, etc), however small the amount (ice cube trays work great for this purpose).

When I have a good stock, I pick up some stew meat from the grocery store and maybe a can of diced tomatoes.

Throw the whole lot into the slow cooker, add some chopped celery, maybe another potato, some herbs and spices (whatever your family likes), and you will have an affordable and delicious stew in 6-8 hours.

And you'll have the very satisfied feeling of knowing you used all your leftovers.

It's hard to go wrong with a slow cooker...
