yummy-I'm a crockpot fanatic and have NEVER made oatmeal in it...yet!!! I have tons of apples to use up...as far as what do I cook or where do I look, Fix it and Forget it has tons of recipes (crockpot cookbook) and also has a light version. This time of year it gets a lot of use as I feed 4-6 guys in the field many nights of harvest...I make lots of roasts with taters and carrots, chicken and rice, spaghetti, calico beans, even dessert!!! I also google recipes!!!

Kickin' Creamy Chicken stew
This was soooo good...
5 frozen chicken breast
1 16 oz jar of salsa verde
2 cans black beans
1 can sweet kernel corn
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tsp cumin
1 3 oz reduced fat cream cheese
Place frozen chicken in bottom of crockpot.Then add remaining ingredients.
Cook on high for 4 to 5 hrs. At this point remove half the liquid. You can leave all the liquid if you want. Add the cream cheese and leave on warm for 30 minutes. then stir.
Serve over rice or in tortillas or by itself.
fat 5.1
carb 26
cal 293.2
Prot 35
Serves 10
I tweeked this a bit. If you want to freeze portions do not add the cream cheese to the entire mix. I added by the Table spoon to each individual serving. I also did not have regular corn so I had to use cream corn and it turned out great. Instead of cooking on high for 4 to 5 hrs I knew I would be gone all day so I just cooked it on low all day and it was very thick and delicious when we got home from work. Not to mention the house smelled great so this is great for a winter time dinner
Enjoy

I make Pulled Pork and Italian Beef, and both are perfect for parties or for two nights of dinner if you have a small family. Just made the pork Friday night actually.

Oh Rachel, that recipe sounds wonderful!
I'm going to try that next week
I like that one too ! Yum !
I just bought some center cut pork steaks - am planning on doing a chili verde style crock pot meal. Just add the pork, sauteed onion, garlic, then add diced jalepeno with half green chile and half either salsa or red enchilada sauce.
Cook all day and then shred the meat before eating. We wrap in tortillas. DH heats tortilla with cheese and I like to add sour cream and avocado. You can garnish as you like, and sometimes I will add black beans to the mixture before serving.

Umm. Good stuff. I really want to become a crock pot queen but finding clean recipes is tough going.

For Gayle and anyone else interested in the Pulled Pork recipe I posted, you can simplify the recipe even further by using 1 C of ketchup and 1 C of your favorite BBQ sauce. You don't even have to bother with the rest unless you want to.
And for the Italian Beef recipe, I use 3 Cups of beef broth instead of water. Perfect au jus.
I love how food in the crock pot makes the whole house smell great for hours.

I go to allrecipes.com for many of my crock pot recipes. Love that site! You can create your own recipe box and throw out what doesn't work, keep what does. I almost like it better than the food network site because it usually has ingredients that are easier to find.

Here's one I made from Cooking Light:
Milwaukee Sausage and Kraut Supper
1 1/2 lbs. low-fat turkey kielbasa, cut into 3-inch pieces (get all natural, if you can)
3 (10-ounce) cans Bavarian-style sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut crosswise into rings
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 (14 ounce) can fat free low sodium chicken broth
1/2 tsp. caraway seeds
8 medium red potatoes (3 1/2 lbs.) peeled and quartered
1/4 cup shredded swiss cheese
Place half of sausage in an even layer in slow cooker; top with sauerkraut, remaining sausage, apples and onion. Pour broth over mixture; sprinkle with caraway seeds. Cover and cook on high-heat setting for 4 hours.
Place potatoes in a saucepan; cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook 20 minutes or until tender.
Arrange sausage mixture and potatoes on serving plates. Sprinkle with cheese.
I served it with pumpernickel bread-yummy!

What is Bakon yeast and tamari? Did you use them in the recipe?
