This is my first time to this website and it looks great! I have a question that I'm hoping someone could help me with. I have a slow cooker and I don't know what to cook in it. I cooked pork and that turned out well - I tried beef and that turned into a silverside type dish. I have also tried a casserole, but does anyone else have any great ideas or recipes? Thank you!

Julie from Sydney, Australia

I found a great crock pot cookbook at Sam's Club. The book is awesome there are over 800 recipes for making just about anything. There are cake and dessert recipes in there also> I never knew you could make a cake in a crockpot. I use this cookbook alot especially on nights I work late,its a real time saver on cooking and cleanup. There are also a lot of tips for crookpot cooking through out the book> It is well worth the money

I've had excellent luck cooking dried beans. If your recipe calls for 8 to 10 hours, go with the longer time.

Hey Julies,
and welcome to this wonderful site.
Here's one of my favorite slow cooker recipes

Take 2 or 4 boneless chicken breasts and put into the slow cooker, add 2 cans of chicken gravy and cook on high until chicken is good and tender.
Quick,easy and delicious too.
Hope enjoy it,
Teresa from Va.

Meatloaf is good in a crock-pot too! :)

Everyone is right just type in crockpot recipes and your all set. I've used my pot to make soup, roasts, lasagna, bake potatoes-both sweet and regular, kept mashed potatoes warm for hours and to keep bread rolls warm. Just a few suggestions to get you going.

Hi guys, thanks for all the great recipes! I think I'll spend the weekend cooking!

Hi, Julie!:) I love using my slowcooker during the school year....with teaching it is such a lifesaver! Here are some of my family's very favorites:

Macaroni and Cheese

8oz. elbow macaroni, cooked al dente
13oz. can evaporated milk
1 cup whole milk
1/4 c. butter, melted
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
4 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 tsp. salt and pepper
1/4 c. grated fresh Parmesan cheese

In slow cooker, combine lightly cooked macaroni, evaporated milk, whole milk, melted butter, eggs, 3 cups cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Top with remaining cheddar adn parmesan cheeses. Cover and cook on low 3 hours. *I double this recipe and cook on low all day while at work...turns out delicious!:)

Italian Chicken

Place a whole chicken in slow cooker. Pour one small bottle of Italian dressing over top. Cook on low 6-8 hours. DELICIOUS! This chicken is so moist and flavorful...yummy! I serve it with a nice salad and baked potato. OR...add some cut up potatoes and baby carrots on top of chicken before pouring dressing over. Full meal.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

2 1/2 c. dry noodles
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
12oz. can tuna
10 3/4 oz. can cream of mushroom soup
Half a soup can of water
1/4 c. almonds, sliced
1 c. forzen peas

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker, except peas. Cover. Cook on high 2-3 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Twenty minutes before end of cooking time, stir in the peas and reduce heat to low if cooking on high.

Hope this helps you out some....enjoy!:)

If you can buy turkey pieces (I sometimes just buy a breast or 2 turkey legs), put them in your crockpot and rub with margerine and put a couple onion slices on top and season to taste. Cook on low 8-10 hrs and it will taste just like an oven roasted turkey! You dont even have to add any water but you could add 1/4 cup if you wanted to. I also always spray my crock pot with cooking spray before I cook anything in it. It makes clean up easier. Today I put a boneless pork roast in my crock pot. I poured a little bottled lemon juice over it, added some garlic and some all purpose seasoning. It will cook all day and come out great. Good luck to you! Just remember, almost anything you make in the oven can be modified to the crock pot with some practice.

Just go to "allrecipes.com" and you can find all kinds of recipes using the crock-pot. I use that
web all the time for about any recipe.
Good luck on your cooking.

I make pot roast in my slow cooker. Put whatever veggies you desire, potatoes,carrots,onions, etc on the bottom and the roast on top. Season with salt,pepper,and any other spices you like. Put about a quarter cup of water in and just let it cook!! It will turn out delicious. Linda

Here are a couple of my favorites:

2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 (14 &frac; ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder
2 pounds ground chuck, browned and drained
&frac; teaspoon black pepper
1 green pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt

Put all ingredients in slow cooker and stir well.
Cook on LOW 10 to 12 hours.

VEGETABLE-BEEF SOUP

1 lb. stew meat
3 cups water
1 14&frac;-ounce can tomatoes
&frac; teaspoon coarse black pepper
2 carrots, sliced
3 beef bouillon cubes
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 10-ounce package frozen mixed
2 medium onions, diced
2 medium potatoes, diced

Put all ingredients in crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 12 hours.

Almost any soup or stew recipe works great in a crockpot.

I'm not sure how you can ruin anything by cooking in a crockpot (slow cooker), unless it ran out of moisture. Tons of recipes on the internet.

My favorite (and simplest) is a whole chicken (frozen or thawed). Rinse and remove the innards. Rub with butter and dust inside and out with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Drop into crockpot. Add nothing else. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. You will have a fall-apart chicken and about 2 cups of broth to make soup with.

My most use for my slow cooker is for baked beans and Navy Bean soup. Recipes are on the internet.
