Crock pot recipes please!

[vicky]

I need some new recipes for my crock pot since the summer is here.
I hate turning on the oven in the summer, lol.
We eat a lot of chicken breast and center cut pork.

Give me your faves, please!

This is the best thing I've ever made in the crock pot, in terms of effort vs return.

I also do coq au vin in the crock pot sometimes, but that's more of a wintery thing.

I just made Skinnytaste salsa verde chicken tostadas last week and it was really good and very easy.

My friend makes pulled beef that is so good. I'm going to make it next time. I usually do pork too and this may be just as good with pork. She used a bottom round, 2 bottles of beer, (whatever's on hand, the time I tried it she used Natty Light!), an entire jar of pepperocinis, and a packet of Italian dressing seasoning. Serve on thick hoagie rolls. Yum!

I just made this yesterday (chicken with wine and mushrooms). I've made it before and it's tasty, but yesterday's batch wasn't so great because I used a wine that I don't like. Normally I use the white cooking wine from the supermarket and it comes out well: iwasborntocook.com/back-to-school/

Cranberry pot roast is great (and only a few ingredients), and it's O.K. with pork as well. May be more suitable for cooler summer days: crockpot365.blogspot.com/2009/12/supuer-simple-cranberry-roast-beef-or.html

We had pulled pork earlier this week ... pork shoulder pieces, spices (cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, a little cayenne and cinnamon and cloves, salt and pepper), and some cola. Once it was done I pulled it, added barbecue sauce, and served it on potato rolls with cole slaw.

I want to try a whole chicken in the crockpot but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

BBQ chicken http://http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/65896/zesty-slow-cooker-chicken-barbecue

[Mrs. ChanandlerBong]

1 lb chicken
1 15oz can of corn (rinsed and drained)
1 15oz can of balck beans (rinsed and drained)
1 container of salsa (I use the garden fresh brand and only use about 3/4 of the container)

Cook on low for 8 hours. Shred the chicken with 2 forks. You can serve it on tortillas, over rice, in lettuce wraps or taco shells.

I have also added a brick of cream cheese in the last half hour of cooking.

I was going to recommend this! We call it fiesta chicken. We usually melt cheese on top and eat it alone or over rice.

I also really love BBQ chicken in the crockpot (I use the dr pepper BBQ sauce!).

Ooh. I also have a goo French dip recipe if you're into sandwiches.

[poppyseed]

Last night, I cut up some chicken breasts in to cubes, seasoned them, and threw them in the crockpot for about 30-40 minutes. Then, I added teriyaki sauce and broccoli and let it simmer for another 20 minutes, then served it over rice. It was like homemade Chinese food.

I used Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki sauce.

I love this whole chicken recipe:

Throw all the bones and skin back into the crock pot to make chicken broth overnight!

I usually throw a pot roast, a pork roast or chicken breasts in with either a large can of Rotel, a can of enchilada sauce or a couple cans of regular Coke and calling it shredded tacos or in the case of the Coke, shredded bbq sandwiches. Easy breezy and so tasty. I'm also supremely lazy and use the liners so that clean up takes 5 seconds.
I also really like this recipe for a whole chicken - www.plainchicken.com/2012/05/slow-cooker-bbq-chicken.html#more
This is also really tasty - www.plainchicken.com/2011/07/crockpot-lemon-chicken.html#more

One of my fave recipes evvvver. I'm trying to write it from memory, but I make it about every other week, so it should be pretty accurate.

Crockpot chicken tikka masala:

2 lbs boneless skinless thighs
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 onion, diced
2-ish big garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp grated/minced ginger
2 tbsp garam masala
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1+ tsp salt (to taste)

Combine it all and cook on low for 6-ish hours. The chicken is fall-apart tender and sooo flavorful. I serve with basmati rice and peas. Huge hit with my fam, even the kids.

[walterismydog]

1 pork tenderloin cut into quarters.
About 2 cups of bbq sauce, give or take.
1/2 onion chopped up into half moons.
a couple of splashes of vinegar.
some squeezes of mustard.
a little bit of coke or root beer or dr pepper if you're into that.

cook that shit, then shred it with two forks. Put on a bun. Eat. Praise baby jesus for the deliciousness.

[CityLights]

This was really good and, as a bonus, low calorie.

My DH's family calls this Chicken Marango, but who knows. He prefers making it stove top, but I really like it in the crockpot.

approx. 1 lb chicken (we use breasts or thighs)
2 cans sliced stewed tomatoes
1 can mushroom stems & pieces (drained)
1 packet onion soup mix

Place chicken in crockpot. Dump everything else in on top. Mix it up a bit. Cook on high 4 hours or low 8 hours. Serve with white rice.

[verycontrary247]

2-3lb boneless pork blade
1 yellow onion, rough chop
Can of regular coke
Splash of OJ
Cook on high for 6-8 hours. Remove from crockpot, shred, stir in sauce.

Sauce
1/2 can stewed tomatoes
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Salt/pepper
Dash of cumin
Blend until even

I use this in tacos/taco salads/sandwiches. SO incredibly good.

I made this quiche last night and it was really good.

[JamaicanPineapple]

Pulled BBQ chicken:
4-6 Chicken breasts, 1 bottle of BBQ sauce, 1 bottle of beer

Salsa chicken (we eat this as tacos, quesadillas, and over rice):
4-6 Chicken breasts, 1 jar of salsa, 1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed), 1/2 bag of frozen corn

Super easy and they make meals for the week or enough to freeze.
