What do you like to cook in a crock-pot as a family meal?
-
Large roasting chicken with potatoes carrots peas in a flavorful sour cream bisque

There are several that I like to make, but one of the things I love using mine for is making stuff I can use for multiple meals.
One thing I like to do, I take a large package of chicken, put it all in my 7qt. and set it on LOW for 6 hours or until the chicken is done. I don't add anything else usually. After I am done, I will shred it. I put 2 cups in bags and freeze. Then I can pull it out when I want for different dishes. I use it for tacos, salad toppers, enchiladas, chicken salad, etc.
Since I have 2, I will usually have both out at the same time. One will sometimes have that night's dinner in it. Other times, like earlier in the week, I made roasts for taco meat or shredded meat for other things!
It saves me a lot of time later on.

When you make your chicken, how do you make it? I've thought of doing a whole one before, but not sure how.

my favorite crock pot family recipe is beef stew
-
I like to fix meatball, as well as chicken wings.

i love to make chill in my crock pot

I love to cook pot roast with carrots, celery, and potatoes. The only was I cook it now is with the crock-pot because it's so easy and comes out perfect every time.
-
Lots of soups and pulled pork. I made a beef stew last week that was pretty delicious!

i make New England Boiled Dinner without all that water like you would in a regular pot. I also make stuffed peppers in it and regular beef roasts, but that's about it. I was given a crock pot cookbook a couple years ago for Christmas, but don't use it much.
Any tough meat is great done in the crock pot. Our foster son gave us some beef and pork that he raised himself and the meats were so tough, the crock pot was the only way we could eat it. Even the ham slices were tough! We still appreciated the meat but hopefully, he will learn the right combination of raising cattle and pigs. :)'

I dont really use mine much, I wont leave it on if I leave the house, so only thing I really cook in it is a roast with vegies, or chili

My favorite crock pot recipe is one made with pork shoulder, or butt as some people call it. You place onion wedges on the bottom of your crock pot, you salt and pepper your pork shoulder and place it on top of the onions. You add two cans of soda (I use diet coke), and then place a couple of chipotle peppers in the mixture. The dish also benefits from about 4 tablespoons of sugar (brown or white, it doesn't matter). I leave this to simmer for a few hours, preferably overnight, and then in the morning you have a delicious, fork tender pulled pork dish. It's so easy.

Crock pot ok I think I have one of those now I have to go and look.If I do have one its small that I know .I usually cook in apot or in the oven,where is that thing at.
-
I usually do roast, and chicken. Sometime I make chili on the stove and then pour it back in the crock pot to blend the flavors.

I LOVE using slow cooker, but I have to be home with it. I have a cat that loves to eat and he'll manage to get the top right off (without getting burned) and try to see what he can steal. I caught him twice, so for his safety now....I keep a better eye on it. :P I like cooking chicken for meals later (yes, the cats get some), I use to make the dog's food, and I like doing pasta/sauce, bbq or chili in it.

Taco bean soup
Different types of beans
I like black, pinto, kidney
A can of corn
Rotel tomatoes of whatever spice degree you want
browned ground meat like hamburger or turkey
a packet of hidden valley powder dressing
onion and green pepper
i think that is all you put in the pot... let it simmer all day
Pile on cheese, crunchy tortillo chips and sour cream! yum

I'll prepare some Vietnamese food. We do eat a lot and I love to cook one of my dish when I get a free time.

I knew this was going to be a crazy day, so I put a roast on before I left early this morning. When I got home, the entire house smelled wonderful and a delicious dinner was ready. I have a bunch of crock pots, so I have several courses going sometimes....main, appetizers, sides and desserts. I don't know how I would have gotten through several years of 4 teenagers, all involved in sports and other activities. I put everything thing on early in the morning and it was ready to eat whenever anyone got home. It would have broke the bank to eat out all the time.
