What other meals can you make with a crock pot besides pot roast, chili or stew?!


Question: I was just wondering what other meals I could make with the crock pot....seems like I only use it for stew, chili, or pot roast for a meals. What suggestions do you have?

Thank you everyone in advanced. I love to cook so I am game for anything and I am not allergic to anything. The meal would also have to feed at least 4 people. Hope that helped! Best Wishes and Happy Holidays

Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork

Ingredients-
1 (16 ounce) can cranberry sauce
1/3 cup French salad dressing
1 onion, sliced
1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast

Preparation-
In a medium bowl, stir together the cranberry sauce, salad dressing, and onion. Place pork in a slow cooker, and cover with the sauce mixture.
Cover, and cook on High for 4 hours, or on Low for 8 hours. Pork is done when the internal temperature has reached 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

www.crockpot.com is a decent resource for recipes.

I make breakfast in mine. I don't have the recipe with me, it's in a book at home, but it's basically an oatmeal with steel cut oats and apples that cooks overnight. In the morning you serve it with toasted nuts (recipe says hazelnuts, but I use pecans or walnuts) and maple syrup. It's wonderful on cold mornings.

meatballs and stuffing :) yummy

tomato sauce

barbeue pork or chicken or oxtails with tomato sauce is what i make. And have a Happy and Safe Holidays to you and your family.

You can make meat loaf in the crockpot. Just mix it up and pat it down into the crockpot. Some people use aluminum foil, but it does great without it. I guess that's up to you. I never go by recipes or time my food, you can usually tell when it's done. You can cook it either on low or high.

You can also make baked potatoes. Poke holes in each potato, wrap in foil, and stack them in the crockpot. The potatoes are done when they are soft to squeeze or you can test them with a knife to see if they're soft in the middle. These are good as leftovers, too. What you don't eat, just leave wrapped in the foil and turn your crockpot back on the next day or whenever you are ready.

Do a search on crockpot recipes. You can also get a lot of good ideas this way.

lots of things....the web has lots of ideas, sour kraut, bbq ribs, sloppy joes, shredded beef/pork....good luck and have fun!!!

I happen to love pulled pork..and then we eat it on big rolls topped with coleslaw. I also love chicken in the crockpot (but i think bone-in chicken comes out better).
My favorite website for crockpot recipes is allrecipes.com, and search the crockpot recipes. There's a recipe for pork tenderloin made with soysauce, red wine and onion soup mix that I've tried and is amazing.

pretty much any type of meat can be slow cooked. chicken, ribs, meatballs, even things like rice and boiled eggs.
