Jodi, those look great - and thanks for the substitutions! I don't do canned or dry soup mixes either. That was very helpful.

And Sign of the Fish - that cake sounds so good...TOO good!!

i do a lot of things in the crockpot but i am going to give you my secret recipe...dont share it LOL this recipe is begged for everytime i make it. I take a pork shoulder and poke holes with a knife all over and then i take liquid smoke and pour it over about 1/4 cup or so then i generously salt it with sea salt i would say at least a good handful then fat side up i put it in the crock pot i use one that takes up my entire crock pot so i actually will put tin foil and then the lid i put it on and leave it all day its ready when it literally is falling apart. then pull the chunk of fat off the top, shred the meat off the bone (easy to do) and serve with boiled jasmine rice. I cant tell you how many parties ive made this for. Its easy, makes the house smell great and tastes sooooooooooo good. You can serve the left overs with bbq sauce on buns for a 2nd meal and if there is any left after that which usually there isnt you can make a quick pork stew w/potatos,carrots,peas etc.

good eats

1/2 c apricot preserves
2 Tbsp red or green bell pepper-- chopped

2 tsp brown sugar -- packed
1 small onion -- sliced

Throw it all in the cp on low for 7-8 hours, remove the roast, cut it into slices and then put back into the sauce for 20ish mins on high. This is seriously one of my husbands absolute favorites... he requests it often.



Easy Peasy chicken cacciatore

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
2 green bell pepper, chopped
Fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, finely diced
2 Tbsp minced garlic

Put the chicken in the slow cooker. Top with the spaghetti sauce, green bell peppers, mushrooms, onion and garlic Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours.



Crockpot Sour Cream Salsa Chicken
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 package reduced-sodium taco seasoning mix
1 c salsa
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 c light sour cream

Add chicken breasts, taco seasoning, and salsa. Cover and cook for on low for 6ish hours. Right before serving remove the chicken and add the cornstarch with a little bit of water into the mixture, stir well. Finally add the sour cream.



And just for fun, hot fudge chocolate cake
3 c skim milk
1 box sugar free cook and serve chocolate pudding
1 box Super Moist chocolate fudge cake mix
1 1/3 c water
1/2 c applesauce
6 egg whites

Spray your cp with cooking spray, Whisk skim milk with dry pudding mix in crockpot until dissolved. In a medium bowl, mix dry cake mix, water, applesauce and egg whites with whisk for two minutes until blended. Very gently pour cake mixture over pudding mixture. DO NOT MIX! Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 1/2 hours. Serve hot.


Enjoy ladies!

I made this chocolate cake tonight and oh.my.goodness!!! It is just too yummy!!! I cant stop eating it!!! I served it with a little whipped cream and it was delish!

THANKS!

Thanks for doing that! I'm reading this thread and getting ideas for my super picky family.

Default Re: Low prep, low cost crockpot recipes!

I just found this thread and am quite excited!

My favorite CP meal, although it takes some prep work is Ham w/ scalloped potatoes.

I use 2 ham steaks, each cut in half
sliced potatoes
sliced onions
cream of mushroom soup (2-3 can depending on how creamy you like it)
cheddar cheese (2 cups)

I just layer in the crockpot till I run out of room (I'm usually pressing it down because I'm bad at estimating and cut too many potatoes). I cook it on low about 9-10 hours.
