Oh Shawn, that creamy mexican chicken recipe looks wonderful. I will be trying it soon, as soon as the temperatures start feeling like fall.

Crockpot Corn Potato Chowder
We love this!!!
2 cups chicken broth
5 potatoes - cubed (red ones with skin on is best)
2 carrots - cut up
1 bag of frozen corn
1 package of Spanish Chorizo sausages
1 bag baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped (or half bunch silverbeet/other leafy greens)
1 large tin Chinese Chicken and Sweet Corn soup (or creamed corn)
seasonings to taste
Chuck it all in the crockpot, turn it on low for about 8 hrs, or high for about 4 hrs.
Yum!

OMG, when I turned on the computer this morning one of my goals was to find some really good crock pot recipes - this is heaven sent. DH and I were talking about vcranking up both pots & using our freezer more to save time and money. Many thanks ladies! Can't wait to get started.

I can only agree...I specifically came looking for recipes and found all of these crockpot ideas...I love my crockpots and use them often...

Do you all use most of these recipes in your OMAC preperation..I guess what I am asking is do you all freeze these recipes as well as use them for meals?

I love your quote . . will try to remember it when someone says something unkind about me.

Hamburger buns

I am making this for dinner tonight. It sounds Yummy. I got this from allrecipes.com my favorite place to get and try new recipes.

How was the pork, Tina? I'm interested in trying it, but I want opinions first!

Heather it was wonderful. Everyone even my DH who doesn't like Bar BQ sauce gobbled it up. This is something I will make again!

Split Pea and Lentil Bean Soup

I love this recipe because it's so simple, good for the family and inexpensive.

8 oz of dried split peas
4 oz of dried lentil beans
Salt and pepper to taste
2-3 tsps of dehydrated onions

Mix together in crock pot and add water. Some like split peas 'soupy' and some like them thick. Whatever you like determines the water. I add a smoked turkey wing for some inexpensive protein (I take it out, let it cool, shred it and add it back into the soup).

Turn on the crock pot and let it do its thing. Great with biscuits or crackers or fresh veggies.

Tampa Mom

I have a freezer full of whole chickens that we raised this spring.....I'm going to have to figure out how to use all these nummy recipes with whole chickens and not breasts. But oh, I'm willing to give it a shot.

Oh, along with the chicken, I have a full beef, so I can't wait to try out the beef tips. ;-)

2 lbs. hamburger
1 cup chopped green pepper
2/3 cup chopped onion

I made this the other night and it was so good that I dont think I will ever make a meatloaf in the oven again. I did not put the sauce on top because I was making mashed potatoes and gravy.. but I have used that sauce recipe when making meatloaf in the oven and it is really good too.
