My mom used to use the crockpot often, and so do I. Well, about once a week, sometimes more. I would say it is probably my favorite appliance other than my mixer.
I have 4 meals on my 2 week meal plan I listed yesterday that are cooked in the crockpot.
Pinto beans (for a couple recipes)
Black eye peas
Crockpot BBQ pork
Creamy crockpot chicken & broccoli
I typically pick crockpot recipes for days that we plan on being busy. However, a roast or a pot of stew on a cold day really makes the house smell warm & cozy.
For any beans or peas it is best to soak them overnight with a little lemon juice or whey then turn on the crockpot in the morning. BUT...if you forget that throw them in early and by dinner they should be done. Add in any seasonings, especially salt, or a little bacon or ham & delish!
BBQ pork- I just put in a pork roast and a bottle of our favorite BBQ sauce or homemade.
The creamy crockpot chicken is one I found on pinterest. If it turns out well I'll share that link.
I am a pinterest fanatic. There are lots of crockpot recipes on there that just look delicious!
