Mostly they don't turn out so well, though. I think some of the time it's me, and some of the time I just don't like the recipe/flavors. I do like this Tortilla Soup, though, and it's really easy, cheap, and healthy!<br /><br />1. Combine 2 Chicken Breasts, 2 (15oz) cans black beans undrained, 2 (15 oz) cans Mexican stewed/diced tomatoes, 1 cup salsa, 1 (4oz) can green chilies, 1 (14.5 oz) can tomato sauce, 1 can corn.<br />2. Cook on low for 8 hrs.<br />3. Remove chicken breasts chop/shred put back in crock pot mix and serve.<br />4. Sprinkle cheese, avocado, sour cream, and tortilla chips on each serving.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br />Shannon WorthyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975420694918404646.post-63520054763085778792014-01-20T13:21:45.974-08:002014-01-20T13:21:45.974-08:00Hi Dani... I made Roasted Chicken in the crockpot ...Hi Dani... I made Roasted Chicken in the crockpot last week and loved how it turned out!<br /><br />1 thawed whole chicken<br />2 tbsp. ghee (butter if you don't have ghee)<br />1 lb leek (used one large leek) - cut entire thing into 1/2 chunks<br />4 gloves garlic, chopped (I used 6!)<br />2 tbsp. tomato paste<br />1/2 c. water<br />Poultry Spice rub blend (I used thyme, oregano and sage w/salt & pepper) but whatever you like<br /><br />Heat the ghee and sauté leeks and garlic until they just begin to soften. Add the tomato paste & water and cook until leeks start to brown slightly (about 8 -10 minutes). Season with salt & pepper while cooking. Transfer this mixture to the slow cooker.<br /><br />Meanwhile, rinse & pat your chicken dry. Rub inside and out with the poultry spice mix.<br /><br />Place the chicken breast side down (this matters!) in the crockpot and cook on low 4 to 4.5 hours. At this point, I did add 1 c. of water at about 3 1/2 hours as I wanted more "gravy." Remove the chicken and let rest for 20 minutes. While it's resting, take an immersion blender (or you could transfer it all to something else) and blend -- the spices and leeks and juices make a gravy that is delicious! <br /><br />I found the chicken delicious and it is a great gravy mixture as well! I was surprised how it was thick (not sure if that's the tomato paste contribution) it was - I used it for gravy on the bird as I didn't make potatoes but I have a good whipped squash recipe if you're interested. :-)<br /><br />I wasn't sure if this was how to post, but here it is... :-)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975420694918404646.post-7457028578569136112014-01-15T20:45:33.310-08:002014-01-15T20:45:33.310-08:00Katie, the bbq shredded pork (or beef.

Also, have you ever tried using your slow cooker as a double boiler? I do this all the time for steel-cut oats so they don't burn before morning. You put your main dish inside a bowl, then put that inside the crock with water at least halfway up the side of the bowl. Then cook as usual. It stretches out the cooking time and keeps it extra moist in there...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11069243024580428547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975420694918404646.post-22964190697207673362014-01-15T20:42:22.400-08:002014-01-15T20:42:22.400-08:00I can see that picante shredded moose on a crusty ...I can see that picante shredded moose on a crusty roll... yum!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11069243024580428547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975420694918404646.post-19243371103651601272014-01-15T17:07:39.210-08:002014-01-15T17:07:39.210-08:00I just made the teriyaki pork chops from this web ...I just made the teriyaki pork chops from this web site:<br />http://www.mommysfabulousfinds.com/2013/10/easy-crock-pot-freezer-meals-2.html<br />Although I'm vegetarian the family is not.

I'm wondering who cleans that crockpot though?! One of my favorites is a good tailgater but good any time really. Chuck roast or any larger beef roast (or moose or caribou), large jar of pepperoncinis (the pickled peppers). Cook it high for 4 hrs or low for 8, amazing picante shredded beef. - Mark DeneckeKatie and Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04159372288265655643noreply@blogger.com
