Any quick and easy recipes for the crockpot?

Here are a few of my favorites.





Chunky Chili


1 pound ground beef


1 medium onion, chopped


1 tbsp chili powder


1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin


2 cans (16oz each) diced tomatoes, undrained


1 can (15oz) pinto beans, rinsed and drained


1/2 c. prepared salsa


1/2 c. (2oz) shredded cheddar cheese (optional)


1/4 c. diced onions (optional)


4 tsp. sliced black olives (optional)


dollops of sour cream (optional)


Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add beef and onion, cook until beef is browned and onion is tender. Drain fat. Place beef mixture, chili powder, cumin, tomatoes, beans and salsa in crockpot; stir. Cover; cook on low 5 to 6 hours or until flavors are blended and chili is bubbly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with cheese, onions, olives and sour cream. Makes 4 (1 1/2-cup) servings


Serving Suggestion: Serve with tossed green salad and cornbread muffins. Sometimes I add the chili to a bowl of fritos corn chips and then top it cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream

easiest great pot roast.





1 roast....any kind will do from chuck to bottom round....whatever cut you like. Will also work with pork roast.





put a couple of tablespoons of oil in a frying pan big enough to hold the roast. Turn heat on high and let pan get hot.


Sprinkle roast with kosher salt and garlic pepper both sides.


Put roast in the pan to brown. Let it sit on each side 5 or 7 minutes or until it is seared.


Put 1/2 can of beef broth in crock pot with some dried onions (use chicken broth with pork) Soup sized can of broth.


Put roast in crock pot and pour the rest of the broth on top. Set the crock pot to low for 8-12 hours....it will be fork tender when done. If you are at home you can turn the roast over once half way through but this is not necessary.





I always serve this with mashed potatoes and some other veggie that I cook on the stove....if you like gravy after removing the roast from the crock pot pour the broth into a pan and wisk about 2-3 table spoons of flour into it over medium heat. Keep stiring gravy with thicken as it reaches a boil. Enjoy.





If you are short on time remember that 1 hour on high = 2 hours on low. Also remember every time you take off the lid you can add another 1/2 hour to your cooking time.Any quick and easy recipes for the crockpot?
