Slow Cooker Recipes

Crock pot chicken

I made this last week, too - yummy!!

4 chicken breasts
1/4 cup butter
1 pkg. dry Italian dressing mix
1 can herb cream of chicken soup
1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese, diced
4 cups rice

In crock pot, combine chicken, butter, and dressing. Cook on LOW 6-8 hours. Last half hour, add soup and cream cheese. Serve over rice.

NOTE: I didn't trust the chicken to cook in *just* butter all day, so I added the soup right away and put just the cream cheese in later. It turned out GREAT!!

I did this today,except I used lipton garlic something mix and sour cream
then about an hour before I added my rice and it turned out so good.Oh I added water w/the soup and stuff this morning.

Mango, honey, you need the Southern Living Crock-Pot cookbook.

Chili is my most absolute favorite thing. I don't have a magic recipe, except that I rely on Chili-O seasoning to take care of the chili powder, etc for me. Just ground beef (I use 1/2 beef and 1/2 ground turkey), a couple of cans of diced tomatos, rinsed and drained black beans, rinsed and drained red beans, tomato sauce, and salt. Maybe a little bit of water to loosen it up.

If we've managed to turn you on to boiled peanuts, like the ones that were at the soiree, but you can't get "green" peanuts in NY:

I bag jumbo raw peanuts
1/2 cup salt
Combine in 5 to 6 quart slow cooker and add water to cover. Cook on High for about 18 hours. Check water level every four hours or so, as they soak it up. I nearly fried the last batch I did! Can then pack and freeze for upcoming events requiring boiled peanuts.

As I am normally in no mood to cook, much less to cook chicken just to add to a recipe calling for cooked chicken, I also buy chicken breasts on sale and throw 6-7 of them in at a time, season liberally with seasoned salt, and seasoned pepper, turn it to low, and let them go. Assuming the males in my home don't eat it all before I get back, I chop up the meat and freeze it.

One thing to be careful about...more than once, I have gotten up early and put an excellent meal in the crockpot, only to have my spouse call my office two hours later to ask if I meant to plug it in and turn it on.

This sounds like me always calling mr. dd on my way to work and asking him to check my flat iron...to make sure I turned it off.

there are a lot of ingredients - but you really do just throw it all in & cook!

Great, now I'm hungry...I knew I should have stayed away from this thread.

Tortilla Soup

Ingredients:

1 pound shredded, cooked chicken

I'm going to make this tomorrow night because I am cooking whole birds tonight and I should have about a 1 lb of chicken to shred. I'll let you know how it turns out. It will be my first time, that is using the pot I mean.

Thanks for the new recipes.

Sarafunn's Tortilla Soup

I think this is Sarafunn's recipe for slow cooker Tortilla Soup. It has become a Christmas Eve favorite at our house, served with lots of toppings. Yum, yum! Thanks, Sarafunn!

I made the tortilla soup tonight and it was delish, not to mention the aroma was enticing. My house still smells good.

Perfect day for it too since it was raining and cool out. I accompanied it with seasoned beef burritos. We're full as, well, a yucky bug I hate. Thanks for the recipe. I have enough for lunch tomorrow.

I remember when that recipe was posted. I think it was sarawind, not sarafunn! ;-)

Tortilla soup by Sarawind. That's funny. Fortunately I didn't get that problem.

I'll always remember that closer2fine gave it to me though. UM UM GOOD!

Thanks for this! I love boiled peanuts, but they take so long that they make the house smell like wet peanut shells for about a week. In the crock-pot, I can put it on the porch and let them cook!

Wonderful recipes! Thanks. I have a crockpot, but do not use it nearly enough. The recipes will make good dinners for the nights I tutor late.

Mostly I use mine for convenience and for cooking a lot of meat for someone on a low carb diet. So I don't have many fancy recipes but I have discovered you can cook just about any kind of meat by slicing up very thick slices of onion and layering them in the bottom of the crock. If you are cooking something fatty like a pot roast, this keeps the meat up out of the grease and gives it some flavor besides. When it's done just pitch out the onions, they will be fat -soaked.

Yep re the onions. And...though they are expensive and made of plastic and probably not eco-friendly, crockpot liner bags are my favorite invention on this planet. I am afraid to use them on high for very long (for example, peanuts) but it sure makes post-mortem much easier!

speaking of clean up,it's a snap now comparied to the days when you couldn't take the "crock" pot out of the electrical frame and soak in water.

Bump.

Thanks!! The recipe does look yummy!

this is DEADLY!

1 box chocolate cake mix

1 large box chocolate pudding

6 ounces chocolate chips

1/3 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

6 oz. sour cream

1/2 c water

Mix cake mix, pudding mix together. Beat eggs and add oil, water. Add wet to dry and mix well. Add sour cream, and mix. Add chocolate chips.

Pour into well greased crock pot. Place a paper towel between the top of the crock and the lid to catch the excess moisture.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve in bowls with ice cream or cool whip.

Can somebody tell me if this is anything like a lava cake? Thanks for posting this recipe!!!!

Also a big thanks to c2f for the beach updates, always look forward to them.

here's another easy and tasty crock pot recipe:
2-4lb lean roast
1 packet italian dressing mix
1 large carton reduced sodium beef broth
medium onion sliced thick
1 small jar pepperoncini with juice
water to top to roast in the crock pot
throw it all in the pot and cook on low for 8 hours or so
shread the meat, make your own Italian roast beef sandwiches using the peppers and onions with the addition of some provolone cheese-yummy!

You should try this recipe. It was given to me by a lovely Mexican lady and it is real, real, good. I've made this soup what seems like a million times.


CROCK POT CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP

1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 10 oz. can red enchilada sauce
1 4 oz. can chopped green chiles
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced (I use more)
1 14 1/2 oz. can chicken broth
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. each, ground cumim, chili powder, salt.
1 tbs. chopped cilantro
1 can black beans
1 bay leaf
1 10 ox. pkg. frozen yellow corn
2 tbs olive oil
6 tortillas, corn or flour (option bite size tortilla chips)
grated cheese for garnish
sour cream for garnish
avocado for garnish

In crock pot, combine chicken, tomatoes, enchilada sauce, onion,
green chiles, and garlic.
Add broth,(water if you have room) cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, bay leaf.

Stir in corn, beans and cilantro.
Cover and cook on low 6 -8 hours.

You can preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush both sides of tortillas
with oil. Cut tortillas into strips and spread onto baking sheet. Bake, turning
occasionally until crisp. We substitute store bought tortilla bite size chips. Just
as good and a time saver.

Ladle soup in bowl. Sprinkle with cheese, add a spoonful of sour cream, top with
couple chunks fresh avocado. Serve with tortilla chips or strips. Delish!!

Another time saver is to buy rotisserie chickens then cut off all the meat.

You can double this recipe easily. Do not double the ground cumim. It's too much.
