Boneless chuck roast w/a jar of sliced banana peppers, including the juice.
Cook in a crockpot on low for 6-8 hours (or till meat is cooked and shreds easily).
Serve on bread rolls of your choice w/your favorite cheese (if desired). Makes easy, delicious shredded beef sandwiches!
*I posted this recipe on another thread, and a member added that she does this recipe, too, but adds a bottle of Olive Garden dressing to it, which also sounds delicious!
 
Lazy lasagna, chili, sweet and sour or bbq meatballs , throw in a whole chicken season with chicken seasoning , cut up red potatoes, and baby carrots .
 
My mom used to buy the pork loin preseasoned or the one wrapped in bacon, throw it in the crock pot with cubed veggies and some any broth we had on hand.
Made it super moist. You can have it just like that, or made gravy on the side, or add it on toasted bread!
Mm even with rice.
 
I’ve made Buffalo chicken pasta in the crockpot too. Can’t remember the ingredients on top of my head but I know I followed a simple recipe online.
 
I slice potatoes and cut up chunks of ham.
Put your sliced potatoes in a zip lock bag and coat with flour.
Layer the potatoes and ham & cheese in a greased crock pot. I add heavy whipping cream and more cheese and cook on low for 6ish hours.
 
Pork steaks with bone in the crockpot all day with a package of brown gravy mix and liston onion soup mix and a little bit of ham base and a little water. It sounds like an odd mix but it's delicious. They melt in your mouth.
 
1-2 pork tender loin. Straight in the crock pot. Salt, pepper, slather Dijon mustard on top, then sprinkle Herbs de Provence. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hrs. You could probably add quartered potatoes around the edge for more of the meal in the Crock-Pot.
 
I work from home and a mom of 4! I do crockpot allll the time! It's very nice to put dinner on at lunch time and it be ready at night so you can do other things. I often do things to keep warm...i.e. I did homemade meatballs put them in the crockpot with sauce. At night, I put them on Hawaiian rolls with cheese and the kids loved them. Another favorite of ours is taco soup. Just cook the meat then throw the rest in the crockpot. Sometimes I add more beans to make it stretch. Makes great leftovers! We like fritos and cheese on top. Another one, put a bottle of olive garden dressing, block of cream cheese, sprinkle Parmesan cheese and 3 or 4 chicken breasts in. Cook on low for 5 hrs or so then shred the chicken and add cooked pasta. Also, chickem thighs and Fajita Seasoning. Cook on low for 5 to 6 hrs. No liquid needed. Shred and serve on tortillas or ive done fajita bowls with rice and beans and Pico de Gallo cheese etc!
 
We like this one with lil' smokies.
I pkg Lil smokies cut into thirds, or left whole according to personal preference,
4 large potatoes, diced
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced onion
3 cups broth
2 cups water
Salt, pepper, garlic seasonings to personal taste
Use a crock pot liner for easy cleaning.
Place all ingredients in crock pot, stir. We start with high for the about a half hour, then low for 1-2 hours. On chilly days, we leave in the crock pot on keep warm settings for a few hours before cooling down and saving any leftovers.
 
Big fan of bone in pork chops and/or kielbasa in sauerkraut. Usually use the sear function on my slow cooker and brown them up real fast (but you don't need to), add your favorite kraut, maybe some onion if you have it on hand and your seasoning of choice (I like rosemary but my mom always added caraway seeds) and set it for all day on low. For a quick side I suggest instant potatoes or frozen pierogies, if you have time both of these are obviously better freshly made too lol. We always had it with mashed potatoes and frozen peas growing up 👌 delicious
