I need some new recipes and the kids are always crazy by 5, so the slow cooker is my BFF.

What's your favorite slow cooker recipe? (If you have links, that would be awesome!)

And I'll throw in one of my favorites, to be fair. Quinoa chili. I leave out the hot peppers so DS will eat it, too. And I use chicken stock, since I'm not vegan.

I like chicken cacciatore. Boneless breast, a jar of tomato basil sauce from TJs, sliced green and red bell peppers, garlic and onion optional.

Also I really like curry chicken. Boneless chicken tenderloins and a bottle of TJs red or yellow curry sauce mm.

Also chicken enchiladas which is just boneless breasts and a bottle of TJs enchilada sauce and you can add onions, cheese corn whatever.

I like TJs lol.

Mine is nothing fancy and not really a recipe, but my favourite thing to make is a beef roast.

- Take a beef roast and sear it on all sides in a pan with a bit of oil and seasonings (I use salt, pepper and seasoned salt).

- Put it in the slow cooker with a couple of bay leaves, some halved potatoes, and a bunch of carrots (I usually just peel and cut them in half lengthwise so they fit). You could add some sliced onions too but I usually don't.

- Add 2 cups of liquid. I usually mix up a beef broth cube with 2 cups of boiling water.

- Cook on low for 8ish hours. At the end, suck the juice out with a turkey baster, put it into a pot, and thicken with a bit of corn starch mixed with water to make the gravy. (Alternately, you could remove the meat and veggies to a platter, and just pour the liquid into the pot).

My favorite beef on a bun is one that works well if you have any left over roast beef. Forgive me for not having exact measurements, I just dump stuff together.
Shredded roast, can of tomatoe soup, small bottle of BBQ sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1tbsp chopped garlic, 1/2 cup water. Mix well.

Another one we like is cranberry chicken. 1 can cranberries, 1 envelope of onion soup mix, 1 8oz bottle of Catalina salad dressing. Mix together and pour over chicken.
