Got my slow cooker! Recipes? Tips?

meat + onions + liquid (like broth) = yum.

The chicken w/ salsa is really good. My mom likes to use the powdered french onion mix in her crock pot liquid. She also likes to use cream of XXXXX (whatever you're feeling) in it.

Ham + dr. pepper + brown sugar

Chicken of all sorts. I actually do a bunch of chicken quarters (legs & thighs) with some onion, celery, carrots and chicken stock. When the chicken is cooked, I pull it off the bone into little baggies and freeze them & freeze the broth from the crock pot. excellent for chicken noodle soup or chicken tacos.

Slow cookers are great because I almost never have a recipe. Just throw in a bunch of random things, some chicken broth, and there ya go! Lol. I've made some awesome stuff when clearing out leftover produce and meats from the fridge. Yummmmm.

My main thing is beef stew.

Cut up potatoes to fill 1/2-2/3 the pot. put slices of onions on top and chopped up celery on top. Put 1-2 packs of beef stew meat and pour a full carton of beef broth on it.

If you want it really tender it takes about 8-10 hours.

I like putting everything in before going to bed and then not eating it until I'm home from work the next day.

This is what I made tonight for tomorrow:


And this what I'm making later this week:


My dad bought me about 4/5 of these little mini crock pot books from a girl at church that was selling them for a school fundraiser and they are AMAZING.

But really a lot of stuff I use to just make up on the spot. I've never had something gross come out of my crockpot.
