Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken
http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=141491

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup salsa
1 package reduced sodium taco seasoning
1 can reduced fat cream of mushroom soup (condensed)
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream

Directions
Add chicken to slow cooker.
Sprinkle taco seasoning over chicken.
Pour salsa and soup over chicken.
Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.*
Serve with rice. (I have a recipe for Spanish rice that goes amazing with this if anyone wants it I will post it.)

NOTES: You may use half the packet of taco seasoning, or start using LOW SODIUM seasoning. Also use low sodium condensed soup & salsa. I have never actually stirred in the sour cream, I usually just give a little dollop on each plate instead. You can add a bit of cheddar cheese to the top too.

Tip: Add a can of navy beans and shred chicken. Put into warmed burrito shells with a little cheese and the Spanish rice.

http://tipgarden.blogspot.com/2011/10/crockpot-italian-beef-cheese-steak.html

Ingredients:
1 lb. stew meat
1 onion sliced
choose your peppers and slice: 7 pepperoncini or banana peppers from a jar or a sliced green pepper
2 cups water or for spicier flavor use the juice from the jar of pepperoncini or banana peppers
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 pkg. dry italian dressing seasoning packet
4 oz. sliced provolone, mozarella, or pepperjack cheese
1 clove garlic or 2 Tablesoons Parmesan Garlic Bread Seasoning
8 slices sour dough bread or sour dough rolls
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise

Directions:

Put meat in crock pot. Sprinkle with Italian dressing seasoning packet. Top with onions and peppers. In separate bowl either use 2 cups reserved juice from pepper jar or water and disolve beef bouillon cubes. Pour into crock pot around the meat.

Cook on high for 3 hours or low for approx. 6 hours. Shred beef with a fork and return to crock pot. Continue cooking while you prepare garlic bread.

To make Garlic Bread: cut garlic bread in half and rub garlic on 4 pieces of bread and then top with butter or if using a garlic bread seasoning, spread with butter first and then sprinkle the buttered slices with seasoning.
On remaining 4 slices spread with mayonnaise and then top with cheese. Place all slices of prepared bread on a cookie sheet and toast under the broiler until cheese is melted.

Top each buttered garlic toast bottom with meat, peppers,and onions from crockpot. Top with cheesy melted bread. Optional: Serve with a side bowl of reserved juice for dipping.

One of my favorites:

Cheesy Chicken and Rice
Ingredients:
~1lb of chicken (boneless/skinless)
1 small can of cream of chicken soup
1 box of Zatarain's yellow rice (or your favorite variety)
1 onion
1 can of corn
1 package shredded cheddar cheese (more or less to your liking)
Salt/Pepper/Spices to taste

Directions:
1) Place chicken in the bottom of the crockpot, followed by chopped onion, and dump/spoon cream of chicken soup on top. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours (I haven't tried cooking it on high, so I can't vouch for that, but the original recipe contained that time). At this point, you would also add any spices you'd like. I made it the first time with none and it was still good.

2) Make rice according to directions on box, approximately 30 minutes before you plan to serve the meal. Add the fully cooked rice to the crockpot.* Alternatively, the rice can be made ahead of time and added to the crockpot cold, you'll just have to allow extra time for it to heat up.

3) Drain the can of corn and add to crockpot.

4) Add cheese and mix everything together.

5) Devour

*You may want to stir your chicken around a little before you add anything else so that it gets properly shredded. If you mix it with everything already in the crockpot, you'll get more chicken chunks instead of shredded chicken. Personal preference though.

Slow Cooker Beef Pot Roast

1 (5 pound) bone-in beef pot roast
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 medium carrots, cut into chunks
2 stalks celery, cut into chunks
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme

Directions

Generously season both sides of roast with salt and pepper. Sprinkle flour over the top until well coated, and pat it into the meat. Shake off any excess.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sear the roast on both sides for 5-6 minutes each, until well browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in mushrooms and butter; cook for 3-4 minutes.
Stir in onion; cook for 5 minutes, until onions are translucent and begin to brown. Add garlic, stir for about a minute.
Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons flour; cook and stir for about 1 minute. Add tomato paste, and cook for another minute.
Slowly add chicken stock, stir to combine, and return to a simmer. Remove skillet from the heat.
Place carrots and celery in the slow cooker. Place roast over the vegetables and pour in any accumulated juices. Add rosemary and thyme.
Pour onion and mushroom mixture over the top of the roast. Cover slow cooker, turn to high and cook the roast for 5-6 hours, until the meat is fork tender.

This the simplest way to make a roast (My mom taught me when I was young)
Ingredients:
Roast (Beef, pork, deer, moose, etc)
1 can of gingerale, or 7Up
Garlic cloves
Steak Spice
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Oregano
Pepper
Baby Potatoes
Baby Carrots
Onion
Little Mushrooms

Directions:
1)Put the roast down into the slow cooker and season it with Steak Spice, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Oregano and a bit of pepper
2)Pour the ginger ale or 7Up slowly over the roast (Depending on the size of the crock pot you may need half or the full can)
3) Throw the full mushrooms, carrots and potatoes around the roast, cut up some onion and add it as well
4)Turn the slow cooker on low for about 6-8 hours depending on the size of your roast (high for 4-6 hours)

The roast should turn out to be super tender when cut and served. The juices in the bottom can be turned into a gravy as well. I do not use flour so I just drizzle a little bit on the slices of meat.
