Hi! I will be having quite a few guest over in the next few weeks and with this heat I hate to use my oven. Please help me out and share some easy crock pot recipes with me. Thank you so much.

I use this site a lot:

A year of slow cooking

I put a boneless pork shoulder roast in mine for a full 24 hours on low. After that, the meat is easily shredded with a fork. Shred the meat and add BBQ sauce to your taste. Instant pulled pork sandwiches. Just add hamburger buns. It's always a good choice.

This link doesn't work. I was hoping to check out the recipes!

Sue, it worked yesterday when I posted. I just tried it and it won't open now. Hmmm--I'll try it again later--sorry, it's really a good site when it opens.

Thank you. This is exactly what I need. Yolanda

YUM will definately try the chicken recipe! Thanks!

I'm getting ready to throw some frozen noodles, chopped carrots & chopped celery into my crockpot with Chicken Stock. Then just add whatever seasonings you prefer and let it cook till noodles are done. I usually do my cooking overnight.

Almost forgot you can also put some chicken into crockpot too.

I just found this one, looked good what I saw

For potatoes and veggies I cut up carrots and slice potatoes, put in crockpot and add garlic salt - I like quite a bit and cover with a can of mushroom soup spread over top. Cook on low for about 8 hrs - kind of like scalloped potatoes with the veg already added.

Also do browned pot roast, add sliced carrots, potatoes and onions, some worcestershire sauce, can of golden mushroom soup and red wine. Cook on low for about 8 hours, then remove meat, add some flour mixed with water and cook for about half hour on high to make the gravy - this is really good and whole meal in done.

Crockpot Chops and Dressing
1-can pie filling (peach or apple)
4 porkchops
StoveTop stuffing (prepared)

Spray crockpot with Pam.
Layer pie filling, then chops,
then stuffing. Cook on high for
3-4 hours, or low for 6-8 hours.

Serve filling over chops.
Stuffing as a side dish. Enjoy!

I make this when we go camping while
we're out at rummage sales. Come home
to a hot meal.

At our house, a favorite is chicken, on the bones or not (it will fall of if it is on the bones), potatoes, carrots, celery, cream of chicken soup and seasonings. Put it on low for 10-12 hours and it's delicious.

But you can throw just about anything in it. There's a recipie for crock pot chicken and dumplings somewhere that's delicious...and the pulled pork is amazing. Chirstmas lunch last year because you could get some whenever you were hungry after my dad grilled steak.

http://busycooks.about.com/od/chicke...ckendumpli.htm but I suggest putting some of the liquid in a pot and boiling the dumplings that way, our crock pot doesn't bring it to a high boil that fast

i use medium heat salsa...low salt taco seasoning..chicken or beef flavor,what ever i have on hand.

If you like rotessori chicken, try this.
Put a whole chicken with an onion in the cavity and rub the chicken with butter( I use margarine).sprinkle with about a 4th cup of lemon juice and sprinkle with salt, pepper, parsley, and paprika. cook in crockpot on high for 6 hours. The chicken just falls of the bones. I usually make a couple potatoes in the microwave in my potatoe bag, and serve a salad with it. Easy supper.

Thank you. How easy is this? Wow! I appreciate your help. Yolanda

This is a favorite at our house, though it isn't low in calories.

the best! :thumbup: i subscribe to her news letter!

Salt and pepper a thawed roast such as a round roast or chuck. Place it in your crockpot, put the lid on turn your crackpot on to it's highest setting and cook for about 8 hours. You will have plenty of moisture from the meat itself. We also like to add a package of onion soup to this before cooking. With the drippings you can make baron of beef, or thicken the drippings for a flavorful gravy.

here is one...sounds awesome. i just happen to have tilapia in the freezer...but don't have the balsamic vinegar! dang!

never thought of putting fish in the crock pot.

Boneless chicken breasts without skin work really well for this, too.

This recipe turned out awesome! i posted this a while ago..plan on having it again tomorrow..

Lemon Sweet Chicken

1 chicken, cut up i use 10 chichen thighs,bone and skinless

1/2 cup water

1 - 6 ounce can frozen lemonade concentrate
i could only find the 12 ounce frozen lemonade..so i measured 1/2 to use, and froze the other 1/2 for next time
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons catsup
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water

hot cooked rice

Put the chicken pieces to
the crockpot.
Blend the thawed lemonade concentrate, the 1/2 cup
water, brown sugar, catsup and vinegar; pour over chicken.

Cover and
cook on low heat setting until tender, 5 or 6 hours. Remove the
chicken to platter; keep warm. Skim fat from the pan juices. Measure
juices; add water if necessary, to make 1 1/4 cups liquid. Place the
liquid into a sauce pan. Blend 1 tablespoon of cold water with the
cornstarch. Stir into the pan juices. Cook and stir till thickened and
bubbly. Remove from heat. serve sauce with chicken; over rice.

Remember,you can always make it up in the evening, and plug it in in the morning..if your crock comes out.


with the rice, i fried up some chopped onion in a little olive oil, i get the "cilantro" broth cubes..(in the spanish section), and 1 broth cube of chicken flavor. cup of water, boiled and mash/melt both cubes..then put it in the rice cooker..with the onion. we all love this rice..

Great site.

Laughing--in July I posted a link for a crockpot site I used quite often. A couple of people tried it and the link wouldn't open. I just tried it again and got a Dating Site for 50+!! I guess the cooking site is not available. I didn't open any links on the dating site; all I could think of is my DH is 50+; why would I want another "older man"??? Sorry for the "missing" link!!

I've made this with frozen chicken breasts, can of black beans, can of corn and a jar of salsa for 5-6 hrs then topped with the cream cheese. As stated it's wonderful shredded then served with avocado...mmmmm!
