I love to make chili in mine. It's super easy. I either use chicken or ground beef. If its ground beef then brown it and put it in the Crock Pot. Add a can of Fiesta Corn, a can of kidney beans, can of black beans, can of diced tomatoes with jalepenos, a can of crushed tomato, some celery, chili powder, cajun seasoning, garlic salt, onion powder and fresh cilantro. Set it to low and its ready in about 4 hours. High about 2 hours.

If you want to use chicken, cook the chicken and then chop it up and put it in. Hubby has always hated chili til he tried mine and its so easy some most of the ingredients are from cans lol.

Gina- I just saw that taco soup one... I'm gonna have to try it. Sounds super yummy!

i put a pork butt in there with some water and spices.. let it cook on low all day... when it pulls apart with a fork.. drain...pull add bbq sauce and ya ot bbq sammys

I do chili in mine

I looooove my crockpot. I did a vegetarian black bean chili in it last week. I put it on my blog here.

3 Envelope Roast
1 Package Italian Dressing (Good Season type)
1 Package Ranch Dressing (Hidden Valley original type)
1 Package Brown Gravy mix ( I used McCormick Brand)
1 1/2 Cups Water* -- 1/2 to 1 1/2 cups

Mix the dry ingredients together and sprinkle over a boneless chuck, pot roast.
Add the water. Cook on low in the crock-pot for 7 hours. Or on high for 3 1/2 hrs.

I put carrots and potatoes in the bottom of the crock-pot...laid the roast on top
Then cooked it for 7 hours on low.

Like this one as well....

I never really used mine either. I found a website though that changed all that.

It's really awesome and it's not just food recipes. There are a couple of craft projects and what not thrown in too.

Super simple .... Several chicken breast and favortie bottle and half (or two bottles depending on size of crockpot and how many chicken breasts) in a crockpot and let it cook. Near the end shred the chicken and put it on bun or my favorite eat it over rice. Another thing you could change up the chicken and put pork in it and do shredded BBQ pork with rice or on a bun.

I love throwing stuff in to make both traditional chilis and white chicken chilis... and ThatAbby gave me a yummy chicken and green chili recipe too.


I love crockpots and crockpot recipes...

Another quick and easy one is cut up some potatoes, onions and Polish Keilbasa and add some beef broth and water and let it cook. Serve it with sauerkraut if you like or with some crusty bread when its ready. I usually make a cucumber salad with it too.

We do roast in ours and green beans and ham. It's so yummy!

love love love crock pot recipies. I like the lemon herb chicken one, I will have to try that.

Taco Soup (turkey thanks to Gina)

Beef Pot Roast with baby carrots and sliced potatoes
Layer carrots then potatoes then roast on top. Season to your liking, add 1 cup of water. Let cook all day long on low.

5-6 Chicken Breasts (boneless/skinless) with fresh rosemary and thyme. About 2 cups of water and some garlic. Let cook all day long as well. I usually pair this with brown rice and veggies that I make on the stove top.

1 lg can of Fire-roasted diced Tom. (drained)
Italian seasonings or Oregano/Garlic/Thyme (season as you wish)
Let cook all day and serve in a grinder roll with provolone cheese.

BBQ Pulled Pork

Let cook all day on low. Drain most of the water out and then add in a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. Mix with a fork and serve on a roll or pair it with something else.
