OK, I'll start....I'm excited to hear what everyone likes to make in their crockpot!  Always lookin' for a new recipe to try.   This is one of my family's favorites:

****If you have not tried the Crockpot Liners....they are FABULOUS and make clean up a snap!!!

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Spray with Pam or line your crockpot with a liner.

Place 3 frozen, boneless skinless chicken breasts on bottom of crockpot then add:

1 can diced tomatoes with juice

1 can whole kernel corn with juice

1 can black beans with juice

1 can red kidney beans with juice

1 envelope Hidden Valley Ranch mix

1 envelope Taco Seasoning Mix

1 small onion, chopped

Stir the beans, corn and mixes a little to combine.....

Set crockpot on low.....6 hours.....

When you get home.....shred the chicken....which will be so tender you can just use a fork to do it....sometimes I even shred it right in the crockpot it is so tender......  Mix it together and serve in soup bowls with a dollop of sour cream and a little shredded cheddar cheese.  Instead of crackers we use tortilla chips.

Hope you like it as much as our family does.....

What a coincidence! I am cooking beef stew in my Crockpot as we speak. I got a new one for Christmas that is oblong and is all digital - love it. Here is a good link with great recipes.

Here's one of my faves:  Vegetable Stew

ingredients:

4 carrots, diagonally sliced in 2" pieces

2 turnips, peel and cube appx 1"

1 lg onion, dice

2 garlic cloves minced

14 oz can diced tomatos

1 c veggie/chicken broth

1 t salt

1/2 t ground cumin

1/4 t crushed red pepper flakes

1 zucchini sliced 1/2"

16 oz can chickpeas, drain

Throw everything but the zucchini and the chickpeas into crockpot .  Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3.  Add zucchini and chickpeas and cook 1 more hour on low.  Serve over barley or couscous for a nice hearty vegetarian meal.  (I prefer the barley...)  If you don't care for any of the above veggies, you can always leave it out.  Or try substituting...

Meat wise...  I often make my own barbq sauce in the crock pot with a meat.  Mix together 1c ketchup, 1/4c worchestershire sauce, 3 T sugar (I prefer to use brown), 2 T vinegar, and 1/2c water in the crockpot.  Throw in some chicken, beef, pork chops- whatever makes you happy.  Flip the meat around to cover all sides, turn the crockpot on low and let cook on low all day.  When you come home, you have nice, tender barbq'd meat.  The sauce is kind of tangy/sweet.  I love it.

And just to mix it up...here's a seafood gumbo.  It does require a little bit of prep for best flavor.  (Often I'll panfry sear my meats before throwing in the pot- it helps to seal in the juices for even tenderer cuts!)

Anyway, Seafood Gumbo

1/2 lb diced bacon

2 stalks celery sliced

1 onion sliced

1 green bell pepper chopped

2 minced garlic cloves

2 c chicken broth

14 oz can diced tomatos

2 T worchestershire sauce

2 t salt

1 t dried thyme

1 lb crabmeat and 1 lb raw shrimp, deveined and I prefer tail removed (depending on my mood, I'll sometimes used add'l crab and less shrimp- not the hugest shrimp fan...)

10 oz frozen okra, thawed and sliced

Cook bacon in pan until crisp.  Dump into crock and keep thin coating of fat in pan.  Add celery, onion, pepper, and garlic to fat and cook on med until tender.  Add to crockpot.  Toss broth, tomatos with liquid, worchestershire, salt and thyme into crock.  Cover and cook on low 4 hours.  (Or high for half the time)  Add crab shrimp and okra and cook 1 more hour on low.  Serve over rice.  James loves this dish.

This is what we had last night:

2 lbs - red potatoes (halved or quartered)

4 stalks of celery cleaned and sliced

2 onions - sliced

5 cloves of garlic minced

4 carrots sliced (chunky peices)

4 lb beef roast

2 packets "beefy onion soup mix"

seasonings - any kind you like ( I usually add some powdered roux to mine)

beef broth, chicken broth - either one

fruity flavored wine

I cut up all the veggies put them in a big bowl and coat them with my favorite seasonings.

Rub the powdered soup mix all over the roast

put half the veggies in the bottom, put in the roast, put the rest of the veggies on top.

pour in your broth and wine till 3/4 to the top of liquid

I usually let this sit in the fridge overnight. (makes for fast set up  when you are heading out the door the next morning)

On your way out the door, put it on low for about 10 hours.

When it is done you can either eat it out of the pot or:

take out the meat and veggies. put the juice in a pot on the stove with some flour and make a thicker gravy and then mix it all up again. Your choice.

Chicken Pot Pie Faux

4 Boneless chicken breasts (or more if your family is bigger)

1 Can of Cream of Celery soup

1 Can of Cream of Chicken soup

2 cans of Mixed Vegetables

1 Package of instant biscuts (the tube kind)

Place your chicken in the crockpot, and your two cans of soup and 2 cans of mixed veggies. Don't drain the veggies that is going to make your soup into a sauce. Now place the biscuts on top of everything and put the lid on and cook for 8-10 hours on low.

Oh how fun. Here is our favorite! We cook it over night for about 12 hours. Then we put in on noodles. Yummy! I promise.

Put in to the pot

One slab of seered corn beef ( this helps lock in the flavor)

three cloves of garlic and some pepper

Three cans of italian stewed tomatoes.

One can of mushrooms

One small can of tomato paste

It is really yummy and perfect for St. Patrick's Day! Serve it over any kind of noodle, just not really long ones.

LOVE the sauerkraut/chops one!

I make pork BBque in mine that everyone LOVES!

Take a nice big ole Boston Butt (boneless or not)

Rub all over with Chipolte-cinnamon rub (in spice section)

In bottom of cooker layer thick slices of sweet onions.

A couple of large crushed garlic cloves.

Set Butt on top with fat side up.

Pour in 2 bottles of your fav BBque sauce. I like Honey Hickory and a locally made spicy sauce.

For "Heat" I add in one can of Chipolte Peppers (Mex Food aisle) with sauce over the top.

Cook high 3 or so hours then low 5.

Take out, pull apart with forks, add in a few ladles of the cooking sauce, chop the chipoltes, add in along with the onions. Mix it all up.

Serve on toasted onion buns with added BBque sauce and sweet pickles!!! YUMMY!

Great for a party cause you can put it all back in the pot on warm....

I don't do the crock pot thing but I do love Bob's Mexican surprise, I took  out everything except the main ingredients and it's more like a good dip.

1lb of ground Beef/or turkey

1 can each of Cream of Chicken, Cream of Mushroom and Rotel

1 Bag of Doritos

Cook meat, add canned ingreadients to pan stir till hot. Fill bowl either dip chips in or crush and scoop out(i do this way  and bought special fork for it).This is very fast and great if you have teenagers or children.

The other way to make is to find full recipe and at end get a cassarole dish and crush doritos in bottom of dish add meat then layer the other ingreadients. Cover with cheese, and bake untill cheese melts. After removing from over cover with lift over doritos then serve warm.

And you can't forget HOMEADE CHILLE  is an all time favorite.
