    IT’S JUST ME & MY HUSBAND AT HOME NOW AND I LOVE USING MY SLOWCOOKER FOR MEALS. WHEN I USE IT TO TAKE CARE OF DINNER WE HAVE TIME DURING THE DAY TO DO ALL THOSE THINGS THAT WE ENJOY BUT WEREN’T ABLE TO DO WHEN WE HAD KIDS AT HOME…LIKE SPEND THE DAY AT THE ZOO OR AQUARIUM JUST LEISURELY WANDERING THRU TAKING TIME TO READ ALL THE LITTLE INFO SIGNS ALONG THE WAY (SOMETHING KIDS DON’T SEEM TO CARE TO DO) OR JUST SPEND THE DAY IN EACH OTHERS COMPANY WHILE EACH DOING WHAT WE ENJOY (I ENJOY NEEDLEWORK , HE ENJOYS TV AND WE BOTH LOVE TO READ.) ONE OF MY FAVORITE KITCHEN APPLIANCES IS MY SLOWCOOKER BECAUSE IT HAS GIVEN US BACK TIME WITH EACH OTHER WHILE STILL LETTING US ENJOY WONDERFUL MEALS THAT DON’T REQUIRE A LOT OF CLEAN UP.

    The thing I make most in my crockpot is the easiest thing I make – ham and Lima beans. Use a picnic ham, dry Lima beans and enough water to cover. Cook all day and eat on rice. I don’t add any salt while it’s cooking because you never know how salty the ham will be.

We have numerous favorites but love stuffed peppers, all kinds of soups, pot roasts lasagna etc and so convenient to cook spaghetti squash for other re ipes instead of using the oven or cooking up a bunch of chicken and ground beef and freezing for recipes and using for side dishes when the oven or charbroiled grill and smoker are going! Still the best invention ever. I need to update mine as many years old.

If I don’t win could you at least tell where I can purchase one. What little I do use my slow cooker for I really enjoy it. I make chili, soups and I actually made a breakfast bake.

    My slow cooker/crock pot has become my best friend in the kitchen since I’ve had to go on disability & have some major health challenges. But since I started using it so often, I use it for so much more than the typical pot roast (which we all love too!) I’ve made everything in my crock pot from spaghetti and meatballs to lasagna, smothered pork chops, maple French toast casserole, 2 kinds of chili (white & red), and strawberry cheesecakecheesecake. My grown kid’s favorite is a tie between creamy, cheesy chicken rice with broccoli and Swedish meatballs in gravy over parslied egg noodles. My fave is my Mexican lasagna! Making me hungry. Think I’ll put a boneless turkey breast in for dinner tonight ?

    French Dip au jus – using a 3# chuck roast with beef broth, low sodium soy sauce, rosemary, thyme, salt & pepper – on low heat for 8-10 hours. I take out the meat, pull it apart & set aside in a separate container; strain the juice & put in Separate container. Refrigerate overnight, skim the now-hardened fat from the juice. Combine them both back again, reheat & make hoagies with low-fat provolone. Pretty economical, low in salt & low in fat. Delicious!!!!

    Place pork in crockpot, pour a big can of cream of mushroom soup over, sprinkle with a pack of Hidden Valley ranch dry dressing. Mix dry dressing with soup. Season to taste! I normally add rice or a box of augratin potatoes an hour before done. Really, really good!

    We call it Goulash. Mine is really never the same. I start out looking for leftovers in the refrigerator. My family never has been big on vegetables. This way I make sure they get a more balanced diet. You can use chicken, beef,or fish. I have made it with rice, pasta or potatoes. You usecan any kind of vegetables. You can use your favorite soup. I have used cream of mushroom,, celery, tomato soup. I do recommend using a name brand like Campbell’s soup or home made soup. some times I use home made pasta sauce or Prago chunky sauce. I use cheese between my my layers you can use as much as you want. , Cheese helps to glue it together. I like craft cheese, it gives it a great taste. . It’s great for home or a pot lucks, The biggest problems is having some leftovers for freezing up for when you don’t feel like cooking or have the time to cook and need something fast. We have a great meal, save money with no fuss.

    We take care of our little grand-kids, at least 4+ days a week, so being able to use my slow cooker early in the morning, before they get here, allows me more time to play with and tend to them while they are here. The meats & vegetables are so tender that my granddaughter (19 months old), can easily eat them. I look for new recipes to fix, pretty much daily, as I have been recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and had to change our way of eating. I have found so many great slow cooker recipes, that I have gotten my diabetes under control, without having to eat such a bland diet… and the house always smells so good throughout the day with all the great aromas coming from the kitchen!

    Since I live alone, and my commute to work is an hour each way (at least!), the crock pot is invaluable to me. I love making eggplant parmesan on Sunday, and dividing it up into nightly portions, then on Monday, I’ll cook a chicken dish (Marsala, Butter, you name it, I’ll try it) and that makes the rest of the week’s lunches and dinners. By the way, I’ve just bought my 5th crock pot. Not that any have broken, I just keep finding new ones to add to the lineup. My latest is a 9″ x 13″ actual casserole size, with travel locking handles, and a place to hold the lid. Perfect for potlucks!

    I’ve used my crockpot for years for a lot of different meals. Love that it does the work and results in deliciousness. My favorite meal is a Broccoli/Chicken/Cheese recipe that I”ve adapted from the original.It cooks for 7 hours, then add the broccoli for the last hour and shortly before serving stir in sour cream, a little bit of heavy whipping cream and co-jack cheese. Let the cheese melt and you have a wonderful, filling offering. You could also use sharp cheddar with good results for this.

I have put the roast in frozen but prefer partially or totally thawed so it comes out not quite so runny. On top of the roast sprinkle a package of Lipton onion soup mix (dry). I then make a mixture of Coke and ketchup (diet coke does NOT work) and pour over the top. The amount again depends on the size of the roast. I cook it on low all day until tender. You remove the roast and shred with a fork and return it to the sauce. YUM YUM YUM and the leftovers are just as good!!!

    It’s just me at home but most recipes are set for two or more people, which is actually a good thing. That then leaves leftovers that I can freeze for later or eat the next day.
    I eat a lot of chicken and like recipes that are a bit on the sweet side, like barbequed chicken. It’s so convenient when you don’t have to spend a lot of time putting a meal together. As they say, “just set it and forget it”! Thanks for making it so easy.

    I like to use my slow cooker for lots of things, but when I’m doing a whole meal, beef stew is the best. It can cook all day on low and be tender as can be when it’s time for supper.

    I just started to use a crockpot. Everyone is getting me enticed with what they can make in a crockpot. I bought my first crockpot when I was having Thanksgiving last year and worried about getting all the side dishes hot with limited space with the turkey. My friend gave me a recipe for stuffing that uses the crockpot.
    It was great. I actually plugged it in my laundry room as it cooked an brought it out when the other dishes were all ready. What a help that was. I am so interested in trying pot roast in the crockpot. I have a feeling one crockpot won’t be enough as the possibilities sound endless..

    I love to cook any kind of dried beans or peas in my slow cooker. No need to presoak the beans. Just put them in the slow cooker with two quarts of broth and whatever seasonings I’m using, turn it on low and let them simmer all day. By dinnertime, you have tender beans in a luscious broth. Yummy!

    My favorite slow cooker meal is meat loaf. It cooks up great in the slow cooker. I use 2 lbs ground beef, one egg, a little ketchup to taste, 1/4 cup of bread crumbs and a box of stove top stuffing and mix all together. Put in slowcooker on low for 4 to 6 hours ( time is depending on the slow cooker-some cook slower or faster than others). Sometimes I will mix a little brown sugar with alittle ketchup and brush on top of the meatloaf after I have scored the top with a knife and I let the meatloaf cook a little while longer. It is soo good. I do not have an oven right now so my husband and I have tried different things in our slow cooker and this meatloaf is our favorite.

    My husband and I are both retired now, so the slow cooker plays a big part in our meals. It’s hard for me to stand up for long periods of time, due to some health issues, so any time I can cook a meal in our slow cooker is a big help. My biggest issue is that both my slow cookers are old…they don’t have timers on them, so I have to be careful and make sure we are home to either turn it on or off. A brand new one with a timer on it would be wonderful!

I also make a great Cheesy Tortellini – always have to do a double or triple batch because it goes so fast (works well with ravioli also).

    As the mom of three young boys, I’ve developed a deep and meaningful relationship with my slow-cooker. Luckily, it’s a healthy relationship, given all the healthful yet delicious meals I make with it. Chicken fajita bowls topped with sliced avocado and scallions, turkey chili (in which I hide copious finely diced veggies) and my grandma’s pot roast are a few go-to’s my kiddos, husband, and I devour regularly. I love walking into our house at the end of the day to that rich, oniony aroma that immediately transports me back to my Nanny’s kitchen in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The avocado appliances, the linoleum floor, the knotty pine cabinets, and my grandmother standing at the counter chopping up “the holy trinity,” as she called it: carrots, onions, and celery. Our slow-cooker offers an olfactory postcard from the past, and sometimes it brings as many tears to my eyes as it does drool to my mouth. See? A deep and meaningful relationship. 🙂
