Crock Pot Recipes - Denver,CO

http://www.food.com/cookbook-finder/all/crockpot

This is my all time favorite website. In each cookbook you can order them according to popularity and they are rated by the members of the website and they can also add any changes they made when cooking. It's totally awesome.

Anything you cook int he oven can be made in the crock pot and I think they taste soooooo much better in the crockpot after cooking all day. I make spaghetti sauce, beef stew, roast, pork loin, turkey breast, ham and my family loves nacho dip which is browned burger, stewed tomatoes, cream cheese, velveeta and onions.

A few SUPER easy ones that are always popular at my house:

A large jar or a few cans of sauerkraut and 6 (or however many you need) frozen chicken sausages. You can also use the kielbasa or Aidell's or whatever link sausage you like. I like to do low fat and lower calorie/carb meals. Dump it all in and cook on low all day -sooooo tasty!

You can put a pork loin/roast in or frozen chicken breasts with a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce on low for the day -yummy!

Large center-cut pork loin and a cup of water with a bottle of Asian Sesame Ginger dressing (Ken's makes a good one). I also like to brush the pork with stone ground mustard first. I put in a bunch of onions too.

Put a beef pot roast in and dump a packet of Lipton's Onion Soup mix on it. Cut up onion, potato and carrots and pour in beef stock and water.

Beef Strogonoff..

1-2 lbs of round steak cut into 2 inch strips. brown them (sear them) in the pan.
1 can of mushrooms, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup. 1 beef bouliion, 3 cloves of garlic. and a little worshire sauce.

Mix and cook for the day. When you get home make egg noodels/ rice / or what ever pasta you want. Put sour cream or cream cheese 8oz in with the food and melt it..

Pork roast
3-4 lb pork roast (or whatever size your family needs)
1/2 c olive oil
1-2 T parsley
garlic powder and onion powder and salt and pepper (about a tsp of each)
2 sheets of aluminum foil scrunch it up to make 2 logs about the size of the width of the crock pot (think 6 inch long lincoln logs only a little wider)

put the foil logs in the bottom of the crock pot
mix all spices together in a bowl roll the pork roast in the mixture place roast fat side up on top of the foil logs pour the rest of the olive oil / spice mixture over the top of the roast

I always put it on high for about 3 hours then turn it to low and leave it for another 3 or 4. it is so yummy. serve with whatever sides you want. its great for dinner then the next day I slice it super thin and make philly sandwiches (thin slice onions, green peppers and mushrooms sauted with the meat put on bun and cover with either provolone or mozzarella

Round steak
2-3 lbs thin cut roundsteak cut into pieces
1/2 c flour

place in bottom of crock pot, shake onion soup mix over the steak sprinkle water over whole thing cover with lid cook on low about 4 hours
spread mushroom soup over whole thing like frosting cover and cook for another 3-4 hours
serve with rice or noodles (I sometimes dump a can of diced tomatoes in this also)

I haven't checked it out yet but my sister in law said there's a facebook page called crockpot moms or something like that. She has tried several recipes and said they were all amazing.
