Answer 2

I use my crock pot for just about everything. Yesterday I made ribs....they turned out yummy. Try a meatloaf. Make like you are going to put in the oven. Put in your crock pot on low all day, and at dinner time it will be ready.

Answer 3

Here is my most favorite crock pot recipe. I made it up in college. I hope you enjoy it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I envision eating this in a rustic-type bowl while sitting in front of the fireplace in a log cabin on a cold winters day! This is very easy to make and most of the ingredients you will most likely have on hand. I'm just not sure if you would consider this a chowder though. I use a 5-qt crockpot when making this.
Makes: 6 - 8 servings Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 6-7 hours Ready In: 7.5 hours Servings:

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

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups ham; diced into bite size pieces
4 potatoes; diced into bite size pieces
4 cups total frozen vegies; (green beans, peas, carrots, snow peas, etc.)
1 large onion; cut how you like
garlic; how ever much you like
1 can cream of mushroom soup
4 TBSP milk
1 cup sour cream
1 cup water
basil, oregano, salt, pepper, etc.
1 28oz. can diced tomatoes with juice

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

DIRECTIONS:
Mix mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, water, and spices in LARGE bowl. (I only have a 5-qt crockpot so I had to mix it in my huge roasting pan! If you have a larger size, you should be able to mix it in the pot.) Then mix in ham, potatoes, vegies, onion, and garlic. Put into crockpot. Pour can of tomatoes with juice on top of other ingredients. Cook on low heat for about 6 - 7 hours.

Answer 5

mine is my own receipe....take baby backs and cut them up and put them in the crock pot...let them cook for about 4+ hours and watch and make sure the meat removes from the bone about 1/2 inch. Drain them and apply your favorite bbq sauce and let them stay in the fridge over night.

Take them out grill them or oven broil.

and enjoy

Answer 6

Here's a dessert to make in your crock-pot!

A package of almond bark
A bag of semisweet chocolate chips
A jar of unsalted peanuts.

Dump everything in, but stay close by. Stir it as it starts to melt, and be careful not to burn the chocolate. Once it all melts, it burns quickly. When it is completely metled, drop it by spoonfuls onto wax paper, and let it cool. It's really good!

Answer 7

This is my simplest and favorite. Picnic roast or pork shoulder,water, and an onion sliced. Cook on low 8 hours orhigh 4. Take meat out and pull apart. Discard water. Add your favorite BBQ sauce and heat . Serve on buns with coleslaw. Yumm...It just sounds like summer ,doesn't it?

Answer 8

I use mine several times a week. Buy a bag of meatballs and couple jars of spagetti sauce. Then all you have to do is cook up the noodles. I also throw in chicken or pork and add just about any kind of sauce...everything from BBQ to teriaki to honey mustard. Then I serve it with potatos or rice. The freezer section also has crockpot bagged meals. You just dump them into your crockpot and add water. They also sell bags to put in your crockpot so you won't have to wash it!! I LOVE THESE bags!! Its because of the bags that I use my crockpot so much.

Answer 9

cream of pumpkin soup, beef or lamb casserole, goulash - just use the crock pot the same way you would use an oven except for longer cooking time.
