Crock Pot Recipes?

[slick]

I have not used my crockpot in years. I have a couple of recipe books I can send you....or if you want some recipes right away, try googling.
Google is my friend.

Fast one to do as you can use the 4 hour cycle if you wish or I use the 10 if the chicken is frozen.................

pour in one cup water, half a cup of red wine (use the purple grape juice if you prefer) add several ( i use 6 here) chicken leg quarters top with quartered potatoes then baby carrots then sliced onions (we like them so i usually use 3) add salt pepper garlic and a bit of lemon pepper put the lid on and TADA!

I usually serve this with a salad or with applesauce depending on the boys moods.

Chili is always good as is spagetti and roast.

To make a roast I add one package of Lipton Onion Flavor Mix. Fill crock half full of water. Some A1 sauce, onions, celery, peppers, potaotes, carrots, black pepper, garlic powder and then simmer for about 6 hours. I do make sure everything is covered with water.

There are tons of good cook books at the library that can help. Have fun and eat well.

Here's a Weight Watchers crock-pot recipe I love (although I've forgotten the point count... )

~ 1 1/2 punds of chicken. I prefer boneless, skinless thighs, but as you prefer ...

Slice one onion into thin slices.

1/2 cup of catsup

12 oz. of diet coke/pepsi

Dried onions

Parsley flakes to taste

Sliced mushrooms, to taste

~~~~
Okay. Put the chicken in the crock pot. Add sliced mushrooms and onions. Sprinkle with parley flakes and dried onions*. Pour the catsup over the items. Pour soda over all. Cover and cook for 8 hours. At the end, the soda and catsup should (famous last words) have cooked into a tomato based barbeque like sauce. I usually have to either cook the sauce a bit more by itself on the stove with a pinch of corn starch or flour to thicken it, or say the heck with it and eat it sloppy (my usual mode). It's _very_ yummy.

* I add the dried onions to help thicken the sauce a bit more, it's usually too runny when I make it. But I like it anyway.

Dr G and Amberlee:

Those recipes down divine and I'm going to try them very soon...perhaps this weekend. Amberlee, I have all the ingredients for yours and Dr. G, I just need to go and buy the baby carrots and the wine and I can try yours.

PS: I now keep Diet Coke on hand because a certain Pet Talker....won't name names.....**whistles**......has turned me on to Rum and Coke with a touch of fresh lemon.

Thanks for the recipes.............the reason I came here is I figured that if you had a recipe you had already tried it and loved it.

There are so many crock pot recipes online - and a lot of them seem to call for an unusual amount of liquid. With the lid on - that liquid doesn't cook down.

Amberlee and Dr. G and Logan, thanks - it just seems like crock pot weather to me.

DO NOT BUY ANY OF THE PREPPED FROZEN MEALS.


I made one once.......I took two bites of it and tried to give the rest to the dogs.

They would not touch it. It's one of those things that make me want to toss my cookies just thinking about it.
