Morning, friends!
I told y’all on Saturday about my Slow Cooker tuck-and-run find for $3 this weekend. And now I’m itching to use it! So, I’m turning to you all because I’m sure you’ll be a great resource for this kind of thing. (really, y’all end up being a great resource for just about anything I ask!)
Let’s take today (I’ll keep it open all week, but today especially) to do a link-up of our everyone’s favorite slow cooker recipes!
I haven’t done a link-up on my blog in a long time (not since my “Way Back Wednesday” posts which are pretty mortifying and maybe even a little regrettable) and I’m using a different linky host this time, so bear with me if we have any technical trouble getting started.
How to do it:
1. Blog about your favorite slow cooker recipe. (Or if you’ve already got an old post with a great recipe, just use that!)
2. Link it up here. You’ll be required to enter your name and email address (not visible to anyone) so that we can make sure you’re not spam. (Ew, spam in the slow cooker recipes… )
3. Link back to this post. Somewhere in your recipe post, include a backlink to the Link-up.
That’s all! Enjoy browsing our community’s recipes – I know I will!
I don’t have any good recipes but I’m excited to see what you get back. I need/want to start using my slow cooker more.
Wish I had something to share but sadly, I do not. I don’t even know where my slow cooker is, sad! When I used it a lot I’d just throw a roast, potatoes, and carrots in there and they always turned out yummy, but I’m looking forward to trying some of the recipes you get here.
Raechel, Have you seen Crock Pot Girls on FB? They also have a ton of recipes! https://www.facebook.com/Crockpotgirls?ref=ts
hmmm…. one of our favorites is Cheesy Chicken Chili
Easily doubled and easily frozen!
1 lbs chicken
1 jr salsa (I use hot, but we like it spicy around here.)
2 cans of white beans undrained(I use whatever I can find.)
1 can of corn undrained(I use frozen/fresh/more corn. whatever I have/find, really. sometimes I use 2 cans)
16 oz of shredded pepper jack cheese
cooked rice (optional)
tortilla chips
sour cream
Put the chicken and salsa in the crock pot on low. I think it’s 4 hours, but I always leave it on for about 6 due to my schedule. You can either add the beans and corn right away or add them about an hour before you want to eat. (Again, this depends on my schedule of when I’ll be home.)
1/2 hr before dinner, add shredded cheese to crock pot.
serve over cooked rice with sour cream and tortilla chips.
One thing I will add is that the original recipe calls for the beans and corn to be drained and then to add a can of chicken broth. I find this is too salty and doesn’t really add to the flavor that much. I just use the bean juice and corn juices. (Of course, it might need the extra flavor if you’re using a milder salsa… not sure on that one.)
I don’t have a blog…can I post links to my favorite recipes here? I’m not sure what the “rules” are for this type of thing!;) I have a chuck roast in mine, just waiting to be turned into Shredded BBQ Beef!;)
Becky – go ahead and link to the recipes! I’d love to have them! :)
I know you don’t like pumpkin, Rae, but the rest of us have our heads on straight. :)
I’ll allow the pumpkin. Only because I know you’re a fabulous cook and because the world would be a less tasty place without your sauciness.
Ahhh I am addicted to my crockpot. So excited to see what everyone has to offer. I could seriously use my crockpot every night and not get sick of it (as long as I could remember to turn it on 4-10 hours beforehand, which is usually a fail)!
ha, spam in the slow cooker recipes got me laughing ;) you are so clever!
and, as i type, we have turkey chili simmering away in the crockpot!
I haven’t had a chance to blog this but here is my fav crock pot recipe.
Beef roast (any kind, about a 1/4 pound per person)
Jar of mild banana pepper, with most juice drained
Packet of dry Italian dressing mix (I like Good Seasons zesty)
About 1/2 to 3/4 cup water
Place he meat in the crock, sprinkle the dressing and peppers on top and add the water. Cook for about 6 hours on low (I usually do a few hours on high to get it going) when it is done shred the beef and cut up the peppers. That’s it!
