I think I'm in love with this thread!
I just made this one the other night:

Chicken and Apples

2 apples peeled, cored and sliced into rings
1 onion sliced thinly
1 lb. boneless skinless chix cutlets sliced thin
1 can chicken broth
2 cans condensed cream of celery soup
2 TBSP rosemary or thyme
salt and pepper to taste

Layer the apples, on the bottom of the crockpot, then on top of that layer the onion, then ontop of that the chicken. Mix the condensed soup with the chicken broth, pour over layered ingredients, then add the rosemary ontop. Cook 4-6 hours.
I added a little apple cider vinegar and it gave a nice little kick.

This thread is awesome.

Here are two easy and tasty recipes. I just leave the ingredients on the counter, and my DH gets it started.

Family Style Chili
1.5 lbs ground beef or turkey (brown 1st or throw in raw).
2 15oz cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
2 14.5oz canned stewed tomatoes
1 chopped onion - optional
1 chopped green pepper - alos optional
pack of taco mix
1 tb ranch salad dressing mix
*I add some hot sauce for fire.

serve with sour cream and tortilla chips

Pot Roast
3-5lb pot roast
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 and 1/4 cup water
1 package dry onion soup miz

I add carrots at the end, and bake biscuits.

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

I made a new one yesterday and it really hit the spot:

I attempted to make a version of this recipe from allrecipes.com: Chicken Tortilla Soup

It was more (should have been) this:
I didn't have the enchilda sauce but I did have a package of El Paso Enchillda dinner kit so...

3 Frozen Chicken Breasts (insted of 1 lb cooked/shredded)
2 small can of petite diced tomatoes (didn't have a large can)
1 can black beans
1/2 season package from the kit
whatever enchilda sauce was in the kit
1 cardboard container chicken stock/broth
1 small tomatoe can of water
onion/garlic
NO SALT

For the tortilla's - you can sprinkle the remainder of the season packet on the tortillas before you bake them off.

It was very good - didn't taste too watery or too spicy.

I did mix in shredded cheddar to my bowl.

The recipe called for 4 oz chopped green chilies - i had a can of tomatoes w/ chilis so I used that

****************************
The reason for the recipe was to clean out the pantry - I had a lot of tomatoes and a lot of black beans.


ETA: I also put some brown rice in my bowl.

I make this one all the time, and it's delicious! I serve it over brown rice, and use reduced fat soup and sour cream.

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

Ok ladies after reading this thread I am going to invest in a crock pot. I've never used one before can someone reccommend a good one? Thanks :)

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

This is a super easy chicken recipe that my husband really loves and I made it once for my dad and he asked for the recipe right away.
Chicken (which every kind you have is fine)..I make it with 5-6 frozen breasts.
1 jar of your favorite salsa
Now for the "whatever you have in the house part"
throw in frozen or canned corn
a can of black beans
frozen pepper strips
diced onions
frozen or canned peas
canned white beans

You can literally put as little or as much of the stuff in as you want.
Just leave it in the crock pot for 4 hours on high or 7-8 on medium.
I serve it over rice. You can even pick some up at the Chinese food place.

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

I Make this soup ALL the time, I love it, best I ever made ....


I add a bit more spices like Onion powder, a tiny bit of garlic powder, some Rosemary and thyme and celery salt.

And I just use plain frozen chicken breast, cooked first in the oven...you can probably cook them right in the Crockpot but I add spices and like them cooked first..

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

These are great! I've been experimenting with my crock pot lately. I've tried some Trader Joe's sauces and they turn out too salty, but I just did frozen chicken breasts with jarred tomato sauce and added a whole bunch of veggies - peppers, onions, garlic, and mushrooms - and a can of plain tomato sauce - and it turned out very yummy! Always looking for other recipes to try!

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

love this thread! awesome recipes!!!

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

Thank you soo much for bumping this thread, I love it, definately notebooking it...

I made pot roast just the other day
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1 1/4 cups water
5 1/2 pounds pot roast
mix cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix and water. Place pot roast in slow cooker and coat with soup mixture.
2.Cook on High setting for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low setting for 8 to 9 hours.
I added potatoes and carrots on the bottom and it all came out YUMMY!!!
Also found one for a chicken that I am planning on trying soon
1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
1.Wad three pieces of aluminum foil into 3 to 4 inch balls, and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker.
2.Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper and paprika, and place in the slow cooker on top of the crumbled aluminum foil.
3.Set the slow cooker to High for 1 hour, then turn down to Low for about 8 to 10 hours, or until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
Only instead of foil I plan on using sweet potatoes and regular potatoes (DH doesn't like sweet potatoes)

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

I make Rachael Ray's Montalcino Chicken in the crock pot even though it's not a crock pot recipe- I just take all the ingredients and throw them in there at once, and then make the gnocchi when it's almost ready. Sorry I can't say how long it takes- I just take it out when it looks done- maybe 3 hours on high? I use the boneless tenders and they break themselves up nicely while cooking.

Recipe

For my enchiladas (I am a bit picky) I put in a can of red beans, a can of black beans, a pound or so of chicken chunks, a can/jar of enchilada sauce, some onion, garlic, pepper. There is very little fat- a small drizzle of olive oil. When it's done I layer the corn tortillas and cheese and put in the over for a few minutes. It's good because DH likes more cheese and filling than I do so it's easy to make to our individual likings.

Re: Please share your favorite Crock Pot recipe

bumping!

I've never cooked with crock pot before, in general, whats the technique can you always throw frozen meat in there with some sauce?
