Crock Pot Recipes Waiting for You at Home

There is nothing like having a full cooked meal awaiting you when you arrive home. Here are a few scrumptious crock pot recipes to add to your meal plan.

Barbecue Pork Roast

5 lbs pork roast

3 teaspoons garlic

2 hot peppers (if you like them)

1 large onion, chopped

3 cups water

1, 8 oz barbecue sauce of your choice

1 cup vinegar

Cut small slits in roast and put garlic and hot peppers in them. Add remaining ingredients and cook 8-10 hours on low. Serve with rolls and cole slaw.

Chicken Marsala

8 chicken thighs, skinned

8 oz sliced mushrooms

1 ½ cups baby carrots

1, 12 oz jar mushroom gravy

½ cup dry marsala wine

1 teaspoon garlic

Put all this in a crock pot and cook about 8 hours. This is especially good over egg noodles.

Crock Pot Chicken & Kielbasa

1 lb kielbasa, cut in pieces

6-8 chicken drumsticks

1 cup onions

½ cup celery, cut in ½" cubes

1 ½ cups chicken broth

1 teaspoon paprika

1 red pepper

Salt and pepper to taste

Rub drumsticks with paprika and salt and pepper. Put in all ingredients and cook on slow 8-10 hours. I like this with rice.

Hearty Beef Stew

2 lbs beef stew

4 oz bacon

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

¾ cup baby carrots

2, ripe tomatoes, peeled

2 tablespoons tomato puree

2 cloves of garlic, diced

1 cup red wine

1 cup beef broth

½ teaspoon parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all well and cook 8-10 hours on slow. I usually make dinner rolls to go with this great dish.

Corn & Lima Bean Stew

1, 28 oz can stewed tomatoes

¼ cup tomato paste

3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon garlic

2 cups onion, diced

1 green pepper, seeded and diced

2-3 cups lima beans

1 ½ cup corn

4 sliced of bacon, diced

As usual add all ingredients to crock pot and cook on low 8-10 hours. You can add strips of chicken if you wish. I like this one with French or Italian Bread.
