I know this has been talked about before, but does anyone have any good easy crockpot recipes to share?

I really want to start making more in the crockpot, the only thin g I make now is pulled pork. Its a pork shouler with 2 bottles of bbq sauce and you cook it for 8 hrs. It's simple but really good.

My favorite is to put a rump roast or stew meat in the CrockPot with potatoes, carrots, a can of cream of mushroom soup, one can of water, and one envelope of onion soup mix. (Sometimes I double the soup/water/soup mix if I want more gravy.) It makes a good beef-n-noodles mix that can be served over noodles.

I've made a roast similar to this before, it was really good. Thanks for the reminder, I think I need to put that on my list for this weeks grocery trip.

Something super simple (and incredibly cheap!) is ham and beans. A bag of dry navy beans, water and some type of ham. It's great if you have a ham bone, like if you buy a big ham and when you're done eating it, throw in the bone and whatever ham is left over. You can also buy bones from the butcher. If you don't have an actual ham, you can buy ham boullion/soup mix and just throw in some ham chunks or cubes toward the end. I have to admit, I usually make this on the stove in about 2 hours because I always forget to put it in the crock pot in the morning, but slow cooking for 8-10 hours works well. And it's up to you how soup-y you make it. Make a pan of corn bread to go with it and it's really yummy.

And I'm not sure if everyone has heard of this, I know it's a south/midwest thing (my DH from Wisconsin had never, ever heard of it), but it's really good on a cold day.

This is one of my personal favorites! We add diced jalapenos because we like heat and with the brown sugar it tends to be a sweeter chili.

Slow-Cook Italian Chicken

16 oz frozen boneless chicken breasts
8 oz light cream cheese
1 serving Dry Italian Packet
1/8 cup Country Crock Margarine
1 can of 98% FF Cream of Chicken soup
8 oz no-yolk egg noodles

Instructions

Put chicken, margarine and dressing mix in slow cooker; mix together and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. (don't worry - it's fine this way, and the butter browns the chicken so nicely!)

Add cream cheese and soup, mix together and cook on high for another 1/2 hour or until heated through and warm.

Cook noodles; drain. Add to crockpot mixture and serve. Servings: 6
I personally don't add the margerine. I don't think it adds any extra flavor and it just more calories. But I love this one too. I wish it made a little more sauce tho..

--------------------------

1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken, cut in 2-inch chunks
1/2 cup flour (I used Pamela's Baking Mix)
olive oil, for browning the chicken
1 tablespoon kosher salt (regular salt with be too salty)
6 ounces (1/2 can) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed (I'd opt for little-to-no pulp. The pulp can taste a bit bitter when cooked)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons ketchup

The Directions.

Coat the chicken pieces with the flour, and shake off the excess. throw away any remaining flour, you won't need it. Heat olive oil in a large skillet on the stove and brown the chicken on all sides. There is no need to fully cook it, just sear it enough for the flour to stick and get a nice coating.

Put the chicken pieces into your slow cooker. In a small mixing bowl, combine the orange juice concentrate, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt, and ketchup. Taste. If you'd like the chicken to be a bit sweeter, add a touch more sugar. Pour sauce mixture evenly over the chicken, and toss gingerly to coat.

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3 to 4. Serve over white or brown rice.

----------------------

(1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
1 (3 pound) beef chuck roast
1 (16 ounce) can jellied cranberry sauce
2 tablespoons butter

Place onion soup mix in the bottom of a slow cooker. Place roast in the slow cooker, and top with cranberry sauce.

Cover, and cook 8 hours on Low.

Remove roast, and set aside. Set slow cooker to High. Whisk together butter and flour, and slowly mix into the liquid remaining in the slow cooker to create a thick gravy. Serve with the roast.
