Crockpot recipe thread

[Happymomoftwo]

I just bought a crockpot today and would love some new recipes for it. I know there have been a few threads with recipes maybe we could start a new one and keep them all together.

Here's one I found earlier that looks good.

Crock Pot Stuffed Peppers

6 med. to lg. peppers
1 1/2 lb. ground chuck
1 med. onion
1 (16 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (16 oz.) can whole tomatoes
1 (8 oz.) container sour cream or sour cream onion dip
Minute (instant) rice (2 servings), make according to directions on box Here I would substitute cooked brown rice. Clean the inside of peppers and cut off tops. Mix ground chuck, onion, whole tomatoes drained squeezed into ground chuck, pepper, and seasonings of your choice and rice. Put ground chuck mixture into raw peppers, now place these peppers into your crock pot. Mix the can tomato sauce and sour cream together and pour this mixture over the stuffed peppers. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours, or on high 4 hours

Happymomoftwo, I have a favorite crockpot recipe that I enjoyed even pre-SBD. It is for crockpot chicken cacciatore and it is really yummy. To make it PH 1 friendly, just take out the white wine and don't serve it with the ww pasta.

Enjoy!

=============================

Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore

6 boneless chicken breast pieces
1 14-1/2 oz. can diced stewed tomatoes with onion and bell pepper (Del monte brand)

8 oz. fresh mushrooms thinly sliced
1/2 each yellow, red, and green bell peppers diced
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup white wine
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp Italian blend herbs

I'm making chili in mine right now! It's pretty basic, so...

2 lb ground beef or turkey
1 onion
1 green pepper
2 (15 oz) cans crushed tomatos
1 can rotel
chili powder (I use about 1/3 cup, but we like it spicy )
crushed garlic --------------\whatever amouts
crushed red pepper flakes/ you like
beans (I usually use 1 can red & 1 can kidney) rinsed & drained

I brown the meat, onion, & peppers, drain, & add to crockpot along w/ all the other ingredients (except beans). Turn on "LOW" & let cook all day. I add the beans 2 or 3 hours before time to eat.
