Slow Cooker Dinner Recipes

Mostly geared toward using a slow cooker (but other recipes welcome) so as to simplify the process.  The goal being to have a meal ready to eat upon arriving home.  Post your favorites here!

One of my all-time favorites (no stirring required!):  http://www.food.com/recipe/beef-stroganoff-crock-pot-79082

However, I also add a packet of onion soup mix and do not add the cream cheese. The condensed mushroom soup makes it creamy enough IMO.  I also tend to use both beef and venison for a little extra variety. :thumbs:

I call BS you always have to stir a big cooking pot at some point!

What?  No fake bacon!

If you have to stir it, you're using the wrong cooking temperature. :thumbs:

This isn't a rate the recipe thread, it's a share a recipe thread.  Don't like stroganoff, post something else.

We have one of those small (snack size?) slow cookers that are perfect for things like that or some type of hot dip. Though it doesn't have a temp. setting so it does require some level of stirring. :lmao:

I did do a slow cooker pot roast earlier this year. I think I found it on allrecipies.com.

It called for 1/2 cup of red wine. I put that in and then proceeded to drink the rest of the bottle. (Better not waste it, right??) 

I'll have this waiting at home in the slow cooker tomorrow (no stirring ):

We use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Not the healthiest recipe, but tastes good.

Pinto beans?  Not chili anymore.

If you like cabbage, and spicy stuff: cut up one head of cabbage and a link of sausage, and add to pot. Pour in a large can of Rotel tomatoes. Fill rest of pot up with water, and cook on low all day. You can add potatoes or barley if you like, or eat over rice.

I think everyone knows about the roast/carrots/potatoes in beef broth, cooking all day. That one is easy.

Crock pot variation of my mothers baked Swedish meatballs:

-2 lbs lean ground meat

-medium onion, chopped

-small can chicken and rice soup, not drained

-1 egg

-large can creame of mushroom soup

-milk, enough to equal the cream of mushroom soup

-pepper to taste

-rice (serve over rice, cook on stove or rice pot)

Pour large can of cream of mushroom soup into pot, then pour milk to fill soup can and pour into pot (this will give you half soup half milk). Add in pepper to taste, and mix well. Mix ground meat, chopped onion, chicken and rice soup, and egg. Roll into meatballs and place into soup/milk mixture. Cook in low all day. Serve over rice.

I'd love to get a good Caribbean jerk recipe if anyone has one.

Another recipe I've made and loved. I had forgotten about it.

I'm trying to imagine what diapers look like under yoga pants.
