Crocktober!

[Brie]

Anyone want to share favorite crockpot recipes IHO Crocktober?

We had this for dinner (from pagas blog) and it's always a hit. As you can see, C loves spicy food (but you could tone it down if you prefer too). sotastysoyummy.blogspot.com/2011/08/crockpot-chicken-enchilada-soup.html?m=1

Later this week we are doing the three ingredient tacos--beef roast, salsa verde, ranch packet.

I cooked the first of my crockpot freezer meals and it was pretty good. I'll try to find it.

I also recommend that pulled pork recipe. We make it for parties, and it always gets rave reviews.

Wow those Italian beef sandwiches sound great.  Thanks for posting, I'm going to make them this week. 

They are really great. We usually make them for Super Bowl Sunday!

Following along. I have some to share when I'm on the computer.

I made a beef stew in mine the other day that was good. I browned stew beef (1.5lbs)and threw in an onion, 2 carrots, 2 potatoes and 1/3 cup barley and three cups water. I didn't have beef bouillon so I used chicken bouillon instead. you could probably skip the browning, and add more seasoning as desired.

I just made this yesterday for the first time - delicious! I'll definitely be making it again this fall and winter!

Lol I love crocktober!

[redheadk]

This is absurdly good. DH actually took it for leftovers which is the only time he's taken leftover to work in at least 4 years.

I made this Thai lemongrass soup and it was delicious! I doubled the curry paste (it was SUPER spicy, so be careful!) and left out the cilantro. We're planning round 2 this week:

I made this Santa Fe Chicken a couple of weeks ago and plan to make it again. I substituted the tomatoes with chilies with a jar of salsa instead. It was really good (we had it over brown rice)

Tonight we had chicken that was cooked in the crockpot with salsa and corn, then served on whole wheat tortillas with contija cheese.

I just shredded the last of the chicken and made a few quesadillas for tomorrow.

[stretchad]

I like the pulled pork recipe that ladygrey posted a lot. Also like the santa fe chicken that magpie posted from skinny taste. 

Some others: 

• Pulled Chicken Sandwiches (BBQ sauce + Chicken Breasts)
• Pesto Ranch Chicken, I use chicken breasts instead of thighs and I often omit the ranch when I just don't have it. The Pesto from Costco is great for this. Good quality and value.
• Pot Roast with Carrot, Potatoes, Celery, Onions (Chuck roast, chunk up the veggies, season, and add some beef stock, bay leaf, garlic, and lots of pepper. Then for leftovers, shred beef, add more stock and boil some egg noodles in the stock for beef & noodles).
• Barbacoa Beef for tacos/burritos/quesadillas
• I just found these recipes for Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Chicken Quinoa Soup and Slow Cooker Chicken Chile Verde and slow cooker chicken noodle soup that I plan to try.

I just made this. I cut back the bacon and add more potatoes.

I also am a sucker for throwing a family pack of chicken in the crock pot with some broth. I then use the chicken for enchiladas, tacos, buffalo chicken flatbread, pasta, etc.

Baby back ribs! I make this recipe all the time, it takes like 5 min to prep. The key is stacking them vertically! www.deepsouthdish.com/2012/04/slow-cooker-baby-back-ribs.html?m=1

It says to cook on low for 4 hours. do you think it would be ok if I left it while I was gone all day for work. 9-10 hrs?

That is on our menu for this week along with:

www.skinnytaste.com/2014/01/slow-cooker-french-dip-sandwiches-with.html (currently in the crock, but I misread the recipe and bought Pepperoncinis, which is a different recipe, but I meshed the two)

crockingirls.com/recipes/crockin-lasagna/

And I'll also do a whole chicken and serve that one night, and then turn it into chicken noodle soup for another night.  I pick all the meat off the carcass, fill the crock back up with water, and leave it on low for 12ish hours.  Drain, add veggies, chicken, and noodles.

We had stew last night. It was really great.

I did mine on low for 8-9 hours while I was at work.  It turned out fine.  The mushrooms got really cooked, so if you like them a little less cooked, add them in the last couple of hours (I thought they were fine though).  The chicken also got super, super soft and delicious.  I didn't even have to cut it up, I just lightly shredded it with a fork.

So umm.... I read this as something completely different. Whew! Glad to know this is just about crockpot recipes.

I really thought this was a thread about Crocs shoes.
