Good Crockpot recipes?



Recommended Posts

BEST roast recipe:

1. Put veggies on bottom. I use potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms.

2. Put roast on top. I brown mine first but you don't have to.

3. Mix together 1 packet of dry brown gravy mix, 1 packet of dry italian dressing mix, and 1/2 packet of dry ranch dressing mix (you can use more of the ranch dressing mix but it can make it too salty if you aren't careful)

4. Rub the dry mixture on the roast

5. Pour 1/2 cup Water around (not on top of) roast

6. Cook on low about 8 hours or so, but a little longer is okay too.

I LOVE making stuff in my crock pot. :thumbdown:

I made 3 envelope chicken recently...

boneless, skinless chicken (I used white and dark meat), about 1 - 1.5 pounds

1 packet of dry ranch dressing (powder)

1 packet dry chicken gravy (powder)

1 packet either dry italian dressing or alfredo sauce (powder)

1 cup Water

Put everything in the crock pot, cook on high 4-5 hours or low 6-8 hours. I also added potatoes to mine (the little round ones) and closer to the end, I added frozen broccoli.

Yummy! I can only handle broccoli when it's mushier now...so I put it in the microwave first, then added it about 45 minutes before you're ready to eat.

People usually serve this with Pasta instead of the potatoes, but I made this only a couple days after a fill...and didn't want to chance something getting stuck. :blink:

I tried this last night, except I used pork loin instead of the chicken breast because that is what I had already thawed. IT WAS AWESOME and I hate diet coke. This one is a MUST try! So easy and so good!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. This one is going on my regular menu and I plan to try it with chicken too. I even think it would be good with beef.

You folks posted some yummy-sounding recipes. I'll definitely try some out. I just got a crock pot ($3.99 at the thrift store!) and I've been looking for some recipes. I found some great ones on allrecipes.com. (I swear this is not a commercial! :wub:) It's free and you can just search for recipes without being a member. I found some great dishes that I made before surgery. I'll still make them for the family.

take frozen chx breast and line the bottom of the CP with them...usually about 3 or 4...mix one can of campbells cream of chx Soup (heart healthy variety tastes great) and 1 cup of white wine and pour over the chx. Allow to cook on low for 6 hours...then, pour a bag of frozen broccoli on top and cover it with 1 cup of shredded fat free chedder cheese...Then...my favorite part, cover everything with a bag of stovetop stuffing... let cook fora bout another hour.

It is delicious!!!!

I usually bake this in the oven. Its really good. I will have to try it this way lol.

I have seen pork butt cooked on cooking shows & it always looks soooo yummmmy. So, I saw one in the grocery store the other day & grabbed it.

-pork butt 5-8 lbs

-rub w/ brown sugar, garlic powder, pepper, few splashes soysauce.

-BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Rays Honey BBQ Sauce I like) in bottom of crockpot.

-put pork in POT add more bbq & coat pork.

i only put sauce about 1/2 way up pork did not have to cover.

COOK LOW 10-12 hrs.

I am cooking as we speak & it spells & looks mouth watering good!!!

I'll have 4-5oz myself. my family will have pulled pork sandwiches w/ the extra bbq sauce. I may have bread too. the meat is just falling apart & so tender.

I found a great recipe for BBQ pulled pork that makes it's own BBQ w/out using a bottled sauce.. I also use this recipe to make BBQ pulled chicken. I used the same weight of meat in chicken thighs and it turned out PERFECT.. of course, this recipe is for sandwiches, but I just eat it by itself... When using the pork shoulder ( boston Butt), I cooked it on low for 8 hrs and rotated the roast every 2 hrs so that each side had 2 hrs cooking in the sauce... I also couldn't find a boneless one, they were out, so I used one that had the bone in.. but the bone was not that big...

  • Prep: 15 mins
  • Cook: 8 hr., 10 mins
  • Ready in: 8 hr., 25 mins

  • Serves:Update

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 3 1/2- to 4-pound boneless pork shoulder roast, netted or tied

  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp. packed brown sugar
  • 12 round sandwich rolls or hamburger rolls, split

Cooking Instructions

Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until it’s well browned on all sides.

Stir the Soup, ketchup, vinegar and brown sugar in a 5-quart slow cooker. Add the pork and turn to coat.

Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours* or until the pork is fork-tender.

Remove the pork from the cooker to a cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes. Using 2 forks, shred the pork. Return the pork to the cooker.

Divide the pork and sauce mixture among the rolls.

Okay! I'm late to this thread but I LOVE my crock pot!! And I love soup! So I make a great Soup that i've NEVER had problems eating with my band! (And I have a lot of restriction!)

It's off the back of the Green Chili enchilada sauce and I've tried adapting it but have never liked it any better than as it was written!! So I stick with the original! It's spicy and yummy. I did edit it to cook in the crock pot so I'll make notes where I've changed it!

Product: HATCH Green Chile Enchilada Sauce

Recipe: Crock Pot Tortilla Soup with HATCH Green Chile Enchilada Sauce

Prep time: 30 minutes (including cooking chicken) About 10 minutes the way I do it!!

1 1/2 pounds cooked shredded chicken (I use frozen uncooked and just throw it in the crock pot!) At the end of the cook time I remove all the chicken and shred it with a fork, then return it to the soup!

1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes

1 14 oz. can HATCH Green Chile Enchilada Sauce

2 4 oz. cans HATCH Diced Green Chiles

1 15 oz. can pinto Beans, drained

1 medium onion, chopped

2 tbsp minced garlic

2 cups Water

1 15 oz. can chicken broth

2 tsp each: cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper (or to taste)

1 15 oz. can corn, drained

2 tbsp cilantro, chopped

In crock pot, combine all ingredients except cilantro and garnish. Cover and cook for 10 to 12 hours on low (original recipe called for a 6 to 8 hour cook time since the chicken was already cooked). Cheddar and/or Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream and avocado for garnish.

To serve: Spoon into deep bowls and garnish with cheese, sour cream and avocado as desired. Tortillas or chips may be served on the side.

This is the YUMMIEST soup I've ever had ANYWHERE!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
