Location: In between 4 ridges | I was reading the thread on work, kids, horses and NO Time... A lot of mentions about crock pot meals. Anyone willing to share some of their favorite recipes?
As a mother of twins with a 40 hr a week job, horses, farm, giving riding lessons, doing my husbands company books, and now my boys started football, I am exhausted!!! In desperate need of ideas for quick easy and healthy meals.
TIA

| salsa chicken: boneless skinless chicken breasts, a jar of your favorite salsa. (Or make your own and let it sit overnight to bring the flavors together.) Put chicken on the bottom, pour the salsa on top. Cook on low for 6 hours. Shred chicken with a fork and add to tortillas or over a salad. AWESOME YUMMINESS!!!  |

Location: Kansas | I will share one of my favorites, and my daughter eats the heck out of it. It's not a crock pot recipe, but it's easy to make.
Sloppy Joe Tator Tot Casserole
1-2lbs of ground beef, browned
1 package of cream cheese
2 cans of original sloppy joe sauce
(heat all this together in a pan, until cream cheese is melted)
Pour into a baking pan, layer the top with tator tots. Bake at 425 for about 20-30 minutes, depends when the tator tots are fully cooked, pull it out...sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top of it. Place back in the oven until cheese is melted. And boom!

Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | I love the Crock Pot! I have made so many new things in it.
Here are two I can remember off the top of my head.
Pulled Pork
2-4 pound Pork Butt or whatever roast cut you like.
1 Can of rootbeer
1 bottle of BBQ Sauce
You can add dry onion of you want but I don't
Mix the rootbeer and half bottle of BBQ sauce, pour over pork and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Shred pork and put back in about a cup of the mixture or more if desired plus the rest of the BBQ sauce. Turn Crock Pot on high for 30 more minutes and there you have it.
The other one is Smoked Sausage, red potatoes and corn on the cob.
Place tin foil just in the bottom. Cut up potatoes however you want season them with whatever seasoning you want. Cut up sausage put on top of potates and then add corn. I would use fresh corn if you can. I tried frozen this last time and didn't like it as much. Put it on low for 4-6 hours. |

| My dad and grandparent's recipe is deer steak, cream of mushroom (I think), a ranch dressing packet, and a can full of milk. Sausage, velveeta, and salsa is good simmered together for chips! I always love pork chops, sauerkraut, and brown sugar together in the crock pot and served with mashed potatoes. My mom makes sausage, peppers, and tomato sauce in the crock pot too. Sooo many easy recipes out there! |

Location: Texas | This has to be the best roast I have ever made. I don't put the peppers in it though, mainly because I never have any lol.

Location: Kansas | Put a couple cans of Cream of Mushroom soup in an oval crockpot along with two cans of water and two tablespoons of Kitchen Bouquet for color mostly. Sear a roast and add it to the mixture. Let it do its crockpot thing for 7-8 hours and then remove the roast and make gravy with the Cream of Mushroom mixture. Then put the roast back in. With bread or with potatoes it's yummy. |

| I like to make up a bunch of meatballs on a weekend-buy some bulk hamburger, add breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, eggs, dried onion, some parsley--sometimes throw in some ricotta cheese too to make it go further. Form into meatballs-the size of your choice, I make them bigger. Bake at 350 for 30 mins or so.
When they cool, pop them in a freezer bag. When you need a crock pot meal, take out as many as you want.
You can cook them with BBQ sauce and serve with some mac n cheese and a vegetable
You can throw them in with a can of cream of mushroom soup, sour cream and some beef broth for Swedish type meatballs
You can throw them in with some spaghetti sauce (homemade or jarred) for spaghetti or meatball subs

| One of my (and my husband's) favorite football party meals is grape/chili sauce balls and weiners (aka grape jelly "junk" lol)
one bottle of asian chili sauce
one jar of grape jelly
one package hillshire farm lil' smokies
frozen meatballs
throw together and cook for 4 hours on low
and this one:
one pork loin
one jar of orange marmalade
1 can chicken stock
baby carrots or chopped carrots
one white onion, chopped
thyme leaves
salt & pepper to taste
put meat on bottom, top with vegetables and then add other ingredients. Cook on low for 6 hours.
To me, crock pot means minimal prep and just throw it all in and leave for the day. There are a lot of things that look good on pinterest and then I click on it and you have to saute or brown meat before cooking or whatever. NO...that's not crockpot cooking to me, that's time intensive. LOL
Whoever posted the deer/elk stew recipe...that is the good stuff right there!! We make that when we can and it's YUM!!
