Slow Cooker Recipes

I'll throw this into the pot, too (pun intended!!!): don't forget you can use that slow cooker for leftovers, as well. Tomorrow I'll put that leftover roast beef in with my garden veggies, some broth and seasoning, and make a nice stew...it just won't take as long, since the meat is already cooked (used the pressure cooker 2 days ago to do the roast). I'll put it in for about 4 hours, just 'til the veggies are done, then add celery for a few minutes (I like it tender-crisp). Then off to a friend's whose husband just had surgery...they need to eat, too!

I use leftovers for my crockpot meals also. If I serve a meat with sides for dinner the kids ask me if we're having Soup, Beans or casserole tomorrow.

I have not been at home due to illness in the family. Now that things have come full circle and we are home the slow cooker makes sense! I should do this. Thanks for getting me in the groove. I rinse a whole chicken. Put Lowery's seasoned salt inside it. Place a rib of celery and an onion in 1/4 ths in the cavity too. Turn on the slow cooker 4 hr high or 8 on low. Delicious and several meals are possible after we have the roast chicken the first time. I like chicken salad, creamed chicken and chicken and rice Soup made with the leftovers!

Hey There!!! I tried this one today and it was DELISH!!! I have to say that it was a little bit too salty for our liking so next time I'm going to add a little MORE Water and a little LESS soy sauce!! :D

I have this chicken Enchilada (Tortilla) Soup in the slow cooker now. Going to top it with cilantro, avocado and shredded cheese. Will forgo the tortilla chips, of course.

I love my slow cooker, and with 5 kids (all grown now), I used it a lot. I always hated the clean-up! Then I discovered Reynolds slow cooker liners. They are plastic bags, (but don't melt) and when you are ready, just lift them out, leaving a clean crock-pot!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
