what are some really easy & good crockpot recipes?

Answer 1

The single, most simple, foolproof crockpot recipe has got to be Navy Bean Soup.

In the evening (after dinner, perhaps).

Put one bag of your favorite dried Beans in a full crockpot of water, with one onion, and (unless you are vegetarian), a ham bone, smoked turkey leg or other appropriate flavoring meat.

Do NOT turn it on! Allow this to sit overnight!

In the morning, refill with water (it will be nearly gone), put on 'low' and leave it alone for 4-8 hours, covered. You will be rewarded with a tasty soup that only needs some salt and pepper to taste!

Best wishes!

Answer 3

My easiest one is split pea soup. One pkg of split peas, 6-7 cups of water depending how thick you like it, a handful of chopped celery, 1 chopped onion, 1 diced potato (skin on), a couple Tbsp minced garlic, a couple bay leaves, and a ham hock. A pinch of salt, pepper and marjoram and ignore it for hours.

Or get a brisket from the store. Put that in the crockpot with the seasoning packet, one beer, 5 cups of water, 1 onion cut into wedges, lots of garlic, and bay leaves.

They now sell in the grocery store little packets of seasoning for crockpots, like beef stew or pot roast. All you need is a few veggies, the packet and meat. Check them out, they're decent. :)

Answer 7

I take a turkey breast, pour a little orange juice over it, then pat it down with brown sugar, and sprinkle a little seasoning salt on it. I let it cook on low for about 10 hours. It may sound odd, but it's really good.

Answer 8

You will need:

1 chuck roast of your preference
1 pkg onion soup mix
1 small can of condensed cream of mushroom soup

Set your crock on low and place in your roast. If you like you can spread sliced potatoes on the bottom before adding your roast. Mix together the onion soup mix and mushroom soup. Spread your soup mixture on top of your roast. Place on your lid and let the roast go all day. Trust me you will not be disappointed.
