i barely use my slow cooker because I have had such a hard time finding a farely healthy recipe....everything has creamed soup, or requires pre-cooking....i just want to dump it in the pot and go.

Country Style Pork Ribs

You can use boneless or one with the bone--the meat falls off the bone anyways

I have made this 3 times for company & get RAVE reviews! Last time I used brown sugar The prep time is like a half hour--I did it on my lunch break from work! I also use as much bbq sauces as I want--usually a bottle or so & I addd about a cup of water, not 1/3. & as much worcestshire as I need to cover the ribs

SERVES 3 -4


Ingredients
3-4 lbs boneless country-style ribs
8 ounces favorite barbecue sauce
1 onion, cut in wedges for bottom of crock
3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
1-2 tablespoons spices for dredging

chunky chicken chili

chicken breasts ( i usually use 2)

a packet chili seasoning mild

2 small cans of diced tomatoes with green chili peppers ( found with the other canned tomatoes)

one small can of tomato sauce

2, 15 oz cans of hominy (spanish corn- found with the "Goya" stuff)

put everything BUT the hominy in, and cook on low for 8-10 hours. about 15 minutes before you are ready to eat, drain the hominy and add it in to heat through. serve it with tostito chips and shredded cheese!
**this is awesome because it makes enough for 2 meals for DH and i... and freezes REALLY well!! so i'll make it and freeze half of it, so we have a meal ready for another night we don't feel like cooking!

also...
chicken Cacciatore

2 chicken boneless chicken breasts

1 bell pepper- cut up
1cubnelle pepper cut up
1 onion- cut up
i can crushed tomatoes

you can add some salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, italian seasonings if you want to

cook this on low for 8 hours... the chicken will shread up and it becomes more like a stew or chili, so i usually serve it over rice or pasta

Re: Recommend your main course (beef or chicken) slow cooker recipe that DOES NOT include "cream of" soup!!

sorry, mine was not chicken or beef...but I bet u can do beef short ribs that way.....

Re: Recommend your main course (beef or chicken) slow cooker recipe that DOES NOT include "cream of" soup!!

I am sorry I don't have a set recipe, but one of my favorites was just adding chicken breasts, covering with salsa and chopped peppers and onions...cooking for 4 hours on high, and then shredding with a fork. We used the chicken for tacos, and sprinkled on some low fat cheese, etc. It was while I was doing ww, and I think it was only 3 points for a fairly significant size serving of chicken.

I'll think of others but thats what i have off the top of my head. im making chili im my slow cooker right now

Re: Recommend your main course (beef or chicken) slow cooker recipe that DOES NOT include "cream of" soup!!

You can replace any "cream of" with just broth or stock.

Also, you can put a whole chicken or parts in there (I throw veggies and potatoes too) with a small amt of broth and just roast it. Obviously the skin doesn't get crisp, but the meat is nice and tender.

I have also done ground beef with taco seasoning and then made taco salad wehn we got home.

Re: Recommend your main course (beef or chicken) slow cooker recipe that DOES NOT include "cream of" soup!!

how about turkey?

I take a turkey breast....1 can of chicken broth.

Butter the turkey, add either lemon/pepper season or poultry seasoning. I throw in carrots, celery, potatoes, onions. 8hours on low!


ETA: if you do want a crispy skin, when finished you can throw it under the broiler.
