Answer 3

You sure do not need them to make good food in a slow cooker.

I am sure you have some to get you started but after a while you just put in the pot what you like. Today I got a package of chicken bones after the meat had been removed to sell for something else. I put them in the pot actually last night and this morning I took the bones out and fed them to the dogs. With the broth I added vegatables and macaroni. I seasoned it with salt pepper, garlic, nutmeg, Very small amount of chilli pepper.
Sure is good and nothing fancy at all.

I also steam chicken in the pot some times. I have a stand to hold the chicken vertical and not touching the sides. Put some water and spices in the bottom and let it steam until the chicken is done. Goes very well in a salad and add some cheese.

Answer 7

Spaghetti is easy and a family favorite. I put a can of prepared spaghetti sauce in the pot, along with a packet of Italian seasonings, tomato paste and a can of diced tomatoes. I brown beef in a skillet, with water to keep it from burning and help get the fat out. I season this with salt, garlic powder and dried onion flakes. After draining the burger I add it to the pot, mix everything well and let cook on low-(it depends on your crockpot and how fast it cooks.) When the kids are due home from school I start a pot of water boiling with a little oil to keep the spaghetti from sticking. For "sloppy" spaghetti I put the noodles in full length. For an easy, cleaner spaghetti meal, I break the spaghetti into bite-size pieces. Serve this with a salad, bread and dessert for a quick and tasty dinner.
