Simple crock pot recipes for 1 -2

You can’t go wrong with taking some cheap round steaks from the supermarket, hitting them hard with some pepper, tossing them in the crockpot with whatever veggies you have around (onions, bell peppers, carrots, potatoes, etc) and pouring enough stock/water to partially cover the meat.

Butt roast
Onions/onion powder
Garlic/garlic powder
Dr.Pepper- 1can
BBQ sauce

8 hrs on low

Shred after 7 hours

Pulled pork sandwiches for days!

You can use a chuck roast instead of chicken

Beef tips(most grocery stores will cut a roast into the tips you want) cooked the Mississippi roast style. Cook some rice and some buttered crescent rolls when the beef tips are done. Enjoy.

Here's an old post of mine for 15 bean soup if you like that.

I made the Hurst's 15 bean Hambeen soup over the weekend in the crockpot. I'm feeling puny, so it was a good shortcut and turned out very well. I will make it again.

I put in 3 smoked ham hocks that I had, washed and sorted the beans and then dumped them in (no soak). Added a 2 lb bag of frozen Pic Sweet chopped veggies which were onion, celery, red and green bell pepper and parsley. I was surprised at the quality. I haven't used frozen chopped veggies in many years if ever.

I added two 1/2 32 oz boxes of Kitchen Basics chicken stock rather than water. Then, I thick slicked and quartered a lb of smoked sausage that I added.

Cooked on low for 6 hours. Was done before then, though. Added a can of petite diced tomatoes per the recipe on the bag, half of the seasoning bag for the Cajun bean soup (wasn't sure if it might be too spicy for some of the folks who would be eating it and I couldn't taste it so much because of cold). Added some Nature's Seasoning to it and let it go a little longer.

Everyone really liked it. I'll make it again when I can taste it more, but it sure looked good and what I could taste was good. I liked the bean selection, too.
