Good crockpot recipes?
Hello fabulous ladies!
Does anyone have any good/easy recipes for a crockpot dish? We are having our monthly birthday luncheon at work next week. Santa brought me one for xmas so I would love to break it in....
Thanks!

Re: Good crockpot recipes?
Oooh I have a MILLION! I have two whole cookbooks devoted to crockpot-ting... what type of dish are you interested in making? Dip, meat, veggies, dessert?
I'll have to send you the recipes tonight, I don't have them at work
OH OH! ME !!! I DO!!! Should we make a crock pot section on our FB Cookbook page?
Easy Slow Cooker French Dip
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Easy-Slow-Cooker-French-Dip/Detail.aspx
(Add garlic/peppers to this to make it "italian beef")
Chicken and Dumplings
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Chicken-and-Dumplings/Detail.aspx
(Yay for comfort food!!! Add a can of mixed veggies and note that it'll take the dumplings an HOUR to cook.)
Chicken Stroganoff
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Chicken-Stroganoff/Detail.aspx
(Substitute a tub of garlic/herb cheese spread (like Alouette) for the cream cheese. Thawed chicken breasts will cook in 3 hours. Be careful not to over cook.)
Sauerbraten
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/sauerbraten-recipe/index.html
(Yes, it takes three days to marinate, but it's OH SO GOOD.... IF you like sauerbraten. Sauerbraten isn't for everyone. Substitute 6tsp of gin if you can't find juniper berries.)
Yes! Put them on the FB page!
PS. Karen, I owe you like a million recipes. I keep telling myself I'll do it but I forget...
I have one for Mexican Chicken! Very easy too:
Put two or three chicken breasts in the crockpot with a little bit of taco seasoning and a can of stewed tomatoes with chilies. (I always taste the broth so the seasoning is just right). Cook chicken for 6 hours on low. Shred chicken as serve with tortillas to have as tacos! I make rice and beans to serve with the tacos too!
Are you doing a 101 in 1001? It can be one of your things to do!
I added a slow cooker section to the FB page. I'll post some recipes tonight. Please duplicate recipes - i.e., if the recipe you post is an entree, also post it on the entree Discussion Board.
I've made some recipes from this blog: http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/ and they've turned out really well.
She has tags, so you can easily find what you're looking for and most of them are pretty inexpensive.
And I'd definitely be interested in a crock-pot section of the FB group!
We have great an easy pulled pork as well.
Pork loin (1 good sized loin makes about 3-4 sandwiches
1 591ml bottle of root beer
Put pork loin and root beer into slow cooker and cook on low x 7hours. Remove loin from cooker and drain for a few mins then put it in a bowl and shred it with 2 forks. Pour on your fave bottle of bbq sauce and mix to coat pork. Serve on toasted or untoasted hamburger buns.
Its so good, my sister who hates everything makes me make it everytime she vistis!
Root beer? Fascinating.
Post that one on FB!
