I love easy crock pot dinners. So nice to do something easy to set it up in the morning and then have dinner ready for you that evening.

What are some of yalls easy crock pot go to’s? I am always looking for new crock pot recipes to try out:

Since I am asking for some I will go ahead and share 2 of mine. :

Mexican Chicken:

2 lbs chicken breast
(2) packages of Chicken Taco Seasoning
(1) package dry ranch seasoning
17 ounces (ish) chicken bone broth
Cook on low for 8 hours – or – on high for 4
Once check is done I shred it/pull apart with a couple of forks.
I serve over rice with some Pico de Gallo, shredded cheese, cilantro, etc. Also good for chicken tacos or quesadillas

Crock Pot Chicken Thighs and Potatoes:

2 bell peppers
3 large red potatoes (or 6 small potatoes)
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
15 ounces canned corn drained
10.75 ounces cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

1. Coat the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Remove the ends and seeds from the bell peppers and then chop them.
3. 3.Wash the potatoes, cut them in half, and then cut them into thin slices.
4. Place the peppers and potatoes into the bottom of the slow cooker.
5. Sprinkle paprika over both sides of the chicken thighs. Rub to spread the seasoning evenly over the chicken. Layer chicken thighs on top of the potatoes. Pour corn over chicken.
6. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soup, heavy cream, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour soup mixture over the chicken.
7. Cover the slow cooker, and cook on the LOW for 6 to 8 hours or HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
8. Uncover and add cheese to the slow cooker. Stir into the sauce until cheese is melted.
9. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Plate chicken, potatoes, and peppers as is or you can serve it over some cooked rice. Spoon more sauce over everything and garnish with chopped parsley.

I don't use a crock pot often, but if we are making Mississippi pot roast, it's always in the crock pot.

I also use for 15 bean soup and sometimes, red beans.

I have a new crock pot that I got a year ago that browns, sears and sautes. It's still in the box. I need to get it out.

We do our pot roast in the crock pot as well (we normally go the Amish pot roast route)

15 bean soup? That sounds interesting...

Mississippi Pot Roast suggested by F&D change my family's life. We love it and probably do it once a month.

Got a roast in the crock pot right now.

It's not a "Mississippi" pot roast, either.

I'm from Mississippi and had never heard of that woman's recipe.

I make it like my 93 year old grandmother has for the last 75 years.

French Dip (MIL’s recipe)

3-4 lb rump roast
1 10.5oz can of beef broth
1 lager (I use Abita Amber)
1 can of Campbell’s french onion soup
1-2 tablespoons minced garlic, a little salt and pepper
2 beef bouillon cubes

French bread toasted with provolone cheese

Set that thing on low for 6-7 hours, slice and enjoy.

It’s fantastic

MS roast, Italian Beef or Carnitas. Although you should probably sear all three beforehand.

Not a fan of stewed meat for the most part.

I don't care for crock pot meals, especially anything that uses chicken breast, pork loin or beans. Just unsatisfying. I do like slow cooked roast from it.

Corned beef and cabbage. It's a bit more labor intensive than most slow cooker recipes because there are different stages in which you add ingredients like carrots and cabbage, but damn that shite is tasty.

I really like this recipe, along with this horseradish sauce

I’ve done “Mississippi” pot roast several times for my relatives in Mississippi. And my parents are both from there. None of them ever cooked anything with that much flavor.

Last two times I cooked it, I used a small beef Chuck roast and a venison hindquarter roast, and it came out quite good. I’m afraid if I went straight venison, it would be too dry.

I actually use it a lot. I usually start everything off in a pot and then transfer into a crock pot for long cooks.

Beef stew, pot roast, spaghetti sauce, sauce picante, Mexican chicken, etc.
