Re: Can you share your go-to CrockPot recipes??

i made a delish cranberry sauce pot roast last weekend. if you want the recipe lemme know!

also a great chicken stroganoff!!

Re: Can you share your go-to CrockPot recipes??

Beef stroganoff:

1 1/2 to 2 lbs round steak (I buy the eye round roast)
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 onion, sliced
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbs worcestershire
1/2 tsp paprika
1 can beef broth
1 Tbs ketchup
2 Tbs red wine
1/4 lb sliced mushrooms
3 Tbs cornstarch
1/4 c water
1 cup sour cream


cut steak into 1/4 inch strips. Season with salt, pepper. (I use more than the recipe calls for) Place steak & onion in slow cooker. Mix garlic, worcestershire sauce, paprika, broth and ketchup in a bowl. Pour mixture over steak. Cover & cook on LOW 6 to 7 hours or until steak is tender. Turn control to HIGH. Add wine & mushrooms. Dissolve cornstarch in water in a small bowl. Add to meat mixture, stirring until blended. Cover and cook on HIGH 15 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in sour cream, turn off heat. Serve over rice or noodles.

I can not tell you how good this is. It's famous among the neighborhood kids as "_________ mom's steak and gravy thing." You gotta try it!

Re: Can you share your go-to CrockPot recipes??

i only made this once the other day...i didn't eat it but my dh enjoyed it!
pork chops, sourkraut, brown sugar
place the sourkraut in the bottom (pour 1/2 the can in including the juice--i used a large can b/c that's all i could find in the store!!), place the pork chops on top, add the rest of the sourkraut on top with 1/2 cup brown sugar...mix the top sourkraut w/the br.sugar....we cooked it on high for 2 hours and then low for 3 more hours....it was really simple!!!!!!!

my dh also makes stew...he dumps forzen veggies in, one package of cut up beef, enough water to cover the ingredients, potatoes, and a beef stew flavoring packet or marinade

Re: Can you share your go-to CrockPot recipes??

we do pot roast a lot- just add in some baby carrots, an onion, some cut up potatoes and a little beef broth

i also make chicken "cacciatore"... i use boneless chicken breasts, a bell pepper, an onion, a cubanelle pepper ( slightly spicy) and a can of crushed tomatoes. let it cook all day.. the chicken breaks up so it becomes more like a stew. serve it all over rice or pasta

theres also a recipe for chicken chili that i posted on here a couple times... i got it from a friend, so i don't know the recipe off hand... but if you do a search it should come up.

Re: Can you share your go-to CrockPot recipes??

Can we make this a recipe swap thread as there are alot of requests for crockpot recipes?

Re: Can you share your go-to CrockPot recipes??

I often just do a quick brisket...chop carrot, onion, celery into chunks, place in crock pot, put brisket in (no browning) and just pour some bbq sauce over it. Leave it for however long. Always a big hit.

Also, sometimes I get a big shoulder of lamb, put in some red lentils, a tin of tomatoes, some worcestershire sauce (or whatever flavours you like) and leave for like 8 hours. Delish.

this one is really easy:

Poke some forkholes in sausage, I use about 6 links, and boil in a pot of water for 20 minutes. Drain, slice up the sausage and put in the crockpot. Pour 2 cans of sauce over the sausage. Set the crockpot on low for 6-8 hours. When you get home all you have to do is boil the pasta.

Re: Can you share your go-to CrockPot recipes??

I made this yesterday and it was so good.

2lb London Broil (I like to brown my meat first, but it's not necessary) - season to your liking, I use salt, pepper, garlic and paprika

1 can condensed tomato soup
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg onion soup mix

Put London Broil in slow cooker

mix together tomato and cream of mushroom soup and pour over meat.

pour in pakage of dry onion soup mix.

The instructions I had was to cover and cook on LOW setting for 8-10 hours, but I think you can get away with 6-7 hours. The meat was a tad on the dry side at the 8 hour mark, but nonetheless still tasted good!
