I like to make italian beefs in my crock pot. i use a roast with DRY italian dressing, onions, sweet peppers and water to cover…cook until it falls apart (6-8 hours) and serve on a hard roll.
Enjoy
Angie Wilson

This isn’t exactly exciting, but I like to use my crockpot to cook a whole chicken. I just sprinkle a LOT of seasoning (seasoned salt, GrillMates, whatever you like) inside and out, plop it in the crockpot and cook it on high for 3-4 hours. Use a thermometer to check for doneness. Then serve it with sides or cut up the meat for tacos, BBQ chicken sandwiches or whatever.

Easy way to cook chickens when they go on sale!
Candace

Not your Mama’s Italian beef

1 3lb roast
1 beer
1 bulb….blub not glove of garlic
1 can of beef consume
1 16 oz. peperchinis

Put it all in and cook on high for 6-8 hours. Server on hoggies with italian blend cheese and bananna pepers.

i was going to share something similar to angie! i love to cook whole chickens this way! i also place a stalk of celery in the chicken if i have some on hand..it adds a nice flavor!
i will go one step further with that recipe on how to make chicken broth after you cook a whole chicken! (i will never buy store bought broth again!)
take all of the leftover parts of the chicken (bones, skin, drippings from the cooking of the whole chicken, etc) and throw it all back in the crock pot (sometimes i even put it in the crock pot and store in the fridge to make this the next day)…cover with water…maybe 8 cups worth or so, depending on how strong you want your broth…cover and cook on low for as long as you want..strain and you have wonderful chicken broth! i often freeze it in ziplock bags in 2 cup measures for recipes or to add to rice mixes instead of water or for soups! you could add onion or anything you would like to flavor your broths now or when you first cook your chicken…
enjoy!

After cooking a pot roast in my crock pot, the next day I like to add water and bbq sauce and let it simmer while at work. Come home and have pulled pork/beef (whichever roast we ate).

We also like red beans and lima beans. Just fry what meat you are using and then add to the beans. May have to use a little cornstarch to thicken them to the consistency of your choosing and a side of rice!
Janice

Here is an awesome easy and cheap dish for the 4th in a Crock! This would be easy to make ahead for camping or bringing to a cook out!

Pepperocini Pulled Pork Sandwiches!
1 2-3 lb. Pork butt lay it in the crock pot with the fatty side pointing up, this way the juices self baste the pork making it extra tender.
1 extra large jar of pepperocini peppers, cut off the stems and then put in all the peppers and the juices.
1 cup of water
1 medium diced onion
1tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cook 4-6 hours on low or 8 hours on high
After the pork is done simply use a fork to shred the pork and stir.
Serve the pulled pork on potato rolls or your favorite buns or better yet garlic toast. This is delicious and for those that love it spicy you can add hot sauce to your sandwich!!!
Enjoy!

Supreme chicken breast

Cover the bottom of crock pot with chicken breast and top with sauted mushrooms then a can of cream of chicken soup. Let cook on low 3-4 hours. At this point I usually drain any extra “broth” the chicken has given off to keep the sauce thicker. Top with slices of swiss cheese, crumbled bacon and chives. We really like this with some of the wild rice blends from Uncle Bens. Add a salad or veggies and you are good to go.
jessica

I love super easy recipes. A good go to for me is when I find top round/london broil on sale. I simply put it in the crockpot with my favorite seasoning for about 6-8 hours on low. It comes out delicious and the only work you do is adding the seasoning.
Melissa G

I love buying the rotissoir Chickens at the grocery store. I come home and make biscuits and mashed potatoes with it for dinner and then the left overs I refridgerate for a night or two. then toss the remains in a crockpot with about 6 cups of water and let it slow cook all day. Then about 30 minutes before dinner the bones just pull right away leaving a nice amount of meat and broth and about 4 cups of water (I add enough to make it so) Then add 4 cups of rice and let cook for the rest of the 30 mins. Then serve. nice easy southern chicken and rice.
Grace Bronson

My favorite crockpot recipe is:
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Orange Bell Pepper
1 Yellow Bell Pepper

All diced into little pieces.

2 Boneless skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Whole Can of Rotel
Various seasonings including salt and pepper.

I combine all the ingredients smothering the chicken with the Rotel/Bell Pepper mix to insure the chicken is moist. I normally use thawed chicken so I cook it on high for about 3 hours. Once its all done I use two forks and easily shred the meat for delicious tacos or taco salads. Not only is it delicious and healthy BUT its also fairly inexpensive!
Janice

Wow we could make an awesome crockpot recipe book with these recipes!!!
Carrie

I take a nice cut of pork, tenderloin or roast, and put it in the crockpot with a some red wine (maybe half a bottle, I just eyeball it), some mustard (spicy or plain, whatever you’ve got on hand), and some garlic (again, whatever you’ve got on hand, powder or fresh or minced). Turn it on low and let it go for 5-8 hours. Soooooooo good!

( I make it lighter by using reduced fat cream cheese and slices, doesn’t affect the taste at all.)

I make a lasagna, but I will have to look for the recipe. Another fave is pot roast.

1 roast
beef boullion (can or 2 packs powder mixed with water)
carrots, potatoes, whatever veggies you want to add

Put roast in the crockpot, fatty side up. Add broth and veggies. Cook slowly for 8 hrs.

Yummy!

My recipe is super simple but really tasty! Take as many pork chops as your family will eat and layer in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour 2 bottles of any BBQ sauce over and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Boil some pasta and serve chops with the now thinned and very tasty sauce poured over. Yummy!

Easy way to cook dried beans in the crockpot:

1 bag of dried beans (black, red, etc.)
Water

Let beans soak overnight in the crock with water covering past 2 inches over the beans. In the morning, drain the water, add the same amount of new water, and cook on low for around 5 hours. You can add any spices you may want. It’s a great way to make your own beans if you don’t want to use canned.

Crock Pot Black Beans

1 package of black beans
2 bacon slices
1 onion
2 celery ribs
3 garlic cloves
2 cups diced cooked ham
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp. red pepper
1 carton chicken broth

Soak beans overnight in crock pot. Drain and rinse again. Return beans to crock pot.
Cook bacon in skillet until crisp, crumble and add to crock pot. Saute onion, celery and garlic in bacon grease stir in rest of ingredients and add mixture to crock pot. Cover and cook 5-8 hours or until beans are tender.

Makes good chimichangas when you add cooked rice to this mixture and put it in a tortilla and heat it in the oven. Top with lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, cheese, and salsa or guacamole.

Bar-B-Q

1 shoulder or Boston Butt Pork Roast

Dry rub roast with season salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder & cayenne pepper

Put in crock on high

add 1/4 to 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (1/2 cup if very large roast)

add 2/3 large smashed garlic cloves & juice from half a lemon

Cook on high all night or all day (depending on when you want to eat it.

Remove to roast to platter (leave liquid in crock) tent with foil to cool for 1/2 hour

Pull pork apart with fork removing any fat clumps.

When it is cooking do not open and do not turn heat down, if it looks kinda black like it is burning don’t panic, it’s supposed to look that way and it helps give it a smoky flavor.

Serve on buns with cole slaw & Corky’s or Rendevous Bar-B-Q sauce (don’t use that thick sticky stuff thats like glue, it is almost solid corn syrup and chemical thickners, I am from Memphis and that is just sacrilege!)
Tammy

One medium to large cornish game hen, 2 cups orange juice, 1 cup water, 2 tsp molasses and squirt in a BUNCH of honey (about a good 1/2 cup). Cook on medium heat overnight. The oj, honey & molasses makes a wonderful glazy type flavoring. I normally serve with rice pilaf and drizzle some of the sauce on the rice and it’s yummy!!

Bayou Red Beans

3/4 crushed garlic cloves
