NOW CLOSED: Win It: Slow Cooker Mate Ends 3/20

by

slowcookermate

I’m so excited about this product! The Slow Cooker Mate will allow you to cook your entire meal in one crockpot.

A versatile crockpot, it has removable chambers so you can cook a one pot meal or a divided meal. For those of us who rely on our crockpot to cook dinner how wonderful to have the option of cooking your side dishes in the same crockpot.

When using the divided dish, the main chamber will cook an entree for 5-6 people. The upper divided chamber will cook two dishes. Other features include a built in timer, cool touch handles, and most interesting a built in control which will automatically put it on “warm” when cooking time is complete. (I don’t know how many times my current crockpot has cooked too fast and ruined our dinner!)

Time Saving because if you are like me sometimes when cooking a crockpot dinner, I still don’t have extra time to whip up the side dishes. Money Saving because the more you eat at the home, the more money you save from not dining out!

Best of all, I have one to give away to one of you! One lucky reader will win the Slow Cooker Mate (Value $99.)

  9. I love slow cooker beef stew. Just beef in water, veggies and a few spices for a healthy homestyle meal everyone loves!

  10. my friend used to make the best chili (I don’t have the recipe nor do I own one yet, which is why I’m entering!)

  14. i have read that slow cooker is great for cooking less expensive cuts of meat because the long cooking at low heat tenderizes the meat. so it is more practical to use the slow cooker when your budget only allows for meats that cost less.

    cover and cook on high for 6-7hours

  19. My favorite recipe is simple beef stew – brown the meat first, saute root veg and onion, deglaze pan with beer, toss vegetables in cooker & cover with chicken stock, add some dried herbs, and cook overnight. YUMMY!

  24. My Fav. Tip- When trying to come up with something to take to a family dinner/pot-luck style … make your favorite recipe in your crockpot! It’s so easy to travel with and can just plug right in when you get there!

  28. Favorite recipe is

    1/4 c water
    pepper
    add chops then everything else in the order listed. Cook on low 7-8 hrs.

    big chunks of carrots/potatoes
    throw it all in the crock and cook on low 8-10 hrs- enjoy!

  39. My favorite crockpot recipe is one given to me by my good friend, Connie: “Everyday Crockpot Beans”

    Place in a large (6-quart works) crockpot:
    6 cups dry pinto beans, sorted
    filtered water that is poured in to within 1 inch of the top edge of the crockpot

    Place lid on crockpot & turn on “High” setting. Cook overnight.
    In the morning, stir beans & turn to “Low” setting, adding a small amount of water if the water level is below the surface of the beans. Beans are now ready to season, or you may wait until lunchtime.

    Season with: 2 Tablespoons chili powder
    1 Tablespoon cumin
    2 teaspoons sea salt (or to taste)
    1 teaspoon garlic powder

    Do not add seasoning, especially salt, to the beans before they’re cooked, or they will be tough.

  42. I just fixed a roast in the crock pot for supper last night and had beef manhattans. yummy

  44. To make soup a little thicker without using flour or cornstarch and giving it flavor, try this:
    Add a packet of turkey or chicken gravy mix-it makes it just right and flavorful!

  45. My crock pot is breaking – I’d LOVE a new one!!!

    TIp: I set out meat to thaw as soon as I wake up in the AM, then when I’m working on lunch, I’ll throw dinner together, and sometimes even set the table, so at dinner time I don’t really have to do a thing! Of course, this doesn’t happen often, but when I’m prepared it is a huge time saver in the evenings.

    Davonnes last blog post..Dust Off Those Dresses!

  46. I love my crockpot since I am a vegetarian I hate touching and preparing chicken. I can toss a frozen breast in the crockpot and top it with bbq sauce, salad dressing, marinades, canned tomatos etc.. and I am half way to dinner in minutes!

    charlene @ my frugal adventuress last blog post..Couponing 101

  48. I love costco precooked meatballs then you add one can of coke and 1 cup of brown sugar and let it cooke for 8 hrs on low.

  49. My favorite slow cooker recipe is a black bean and chicken soup. Basically put a can of black beans, raw chicken breast, a jar of salsa, and a can of chicken broth in the crockpot and let it go for the day. Shred the chicken. YUM!!

    I also currently have corned beef in there right now!

  50. i LOVE preparing the crock pot the night before and just turning it on the next morning. with two little kids, sometimes the evenings after they’re in bed are the only time i have to prepare food, so switching it on in the morning and then smelling the wonderful aromas all day are the only surefire way to get dinner on the table.

    leahs last blog post..Freebies and Savings

  53. My favorite slow cooker recipe is BBQ chicken. It is so easy! I quarter potatoes(leaving the skins on) and place them in the slow cooker then drizzle with BBQ sauce. I then add boneless skinless chicken breast and drizzle with BBQ sauce again. I cook on low heat all day. Mmmmm!

  56. We use our crockkpot every week for our after church meal. I make the food ahead of time on Saturday morning, put it in the crockpot and place it in the fridge. On Sunday morning all I have to do it take it out of the fridge, place it in the base and turn it on.! It works great!

    Thanks for a GREAT giveaway! I’d love to try a crockpot that would do more than one thing at a time! :)

  57. I love using my crockpot and it would be wonderful to be able to cook more than one thing at a time.

    Here is my families new favorite recipe:

    5 pounds country pork ribs (with or without bones)
    2 bottles of your favorite bbq sauce (large)

    Put the ribs and one bottle of sauce in the crockpot. Mix together and cook on low for 8 hours, stirring twice during that time. Remove meat and shred using two forks. Put liquid into a fat separator and pour the sauce without the fat back into the crockpot. Add the pork back in. Pour the other bottle of bbq sauce into the crockpot and keep on low for an hour.

    Serve over rice or over whole wheat buns. Makes great leftovers too.

    Evie

  58. I love putting a roast in the crockpot in the morning along with red potatoes and baby carrots. Total meal waiting for us when we get home!

    Nickis last blog post..Circus

  59. Hi, first of all, I love your blog. I just found it this week. Thank you for all you post and do on here, its awesome!! One amazingly easy thing I just discovered about the crock pot is you can put a FROZEN WHOLE chicken in there, put it on high for 6 – 8 hours…and it is PERFECT. You don’t have to put any liquid, or anything…you can just salt and pepper…maybe some onion, and put the whole frozen thing in there..and let it go. For a stockpiler…it doesn’t get any easier than that!! So load up on those whole chickens the next time they go on sale!! THanks Briana.

    Ashlie

  63. I don’t even have a favorite recipe, I just throw EVERYTHING in! I love the idea of multiple layers though, that way the vegetables still taste like vegetables and the meat tastes like meat. What a great product!

    Heidi Ms last blog post..And the winner is…

  64. I love a whole chicken in the crockpot spiced up with our favorite spices. And meatballs stroganoff! Thank you!

  66. I love my slow cooker (all 3 sizes!) I’d love to be able to do side dishes to save me even more time.
    My favorite recipe is my “cheap” stockpile stew. (made it again last nite)
    Cubed beef (from Target deal)
    2 cans potatoes (from stockpile)
    1 can tomato sauce (stockpile)
    1 can diced tomatos (stockpile)
    2 pints home canned carrots
    1 large home grown onion
    salt/pepper to taste (stockpile)
    couple shakes worchestire sauce
    sometimes I add other veggies from my stockpile
    cook for 6-8 hours

    Sure would love to have a new slow-cooker as one is 25 yrs old and the other is 12. (small one for dips/fondue is only a baby at 1 year)

  69. Stew cut beef is amazing when put in with some salsa, brown sugar, garlic, and soy sauce for 8 hours on low. It comes out so tender & tastes like beef jerky! Perfect for tacos. Thanks for the giveaway :)

  70. The best tip I can give is for any couple working opposite shifts. Put everything to cook early in the morning. I have an 8-5 work day, so I turn crock pot on low at 7ish. It cooks until DH wakes at 4 pm so he has a hot meal to eat. He turns it down to keep warm, so when I come home at 5:30/6ish I also have a hot meal to eat. Left overs will cover me for lunch the next day.

  71. I love crock pots. I have never seen one like this. It looks wonderful! My favorite quick tip is to put in a whole chicken. Sprinkle it with lemon pepper and put it on low in the morning. It is so tender and good. Just like the precooked chickens you pick up at the store only much cheaper.

  74. I love making chicken and dumplings. Its so good! The slow cooker is so nice. Thank you!

  75. My favorite slow cooker recipe is to just take a cheap pork roast, cover it in Bar B Que sauce and let it cook all day. When its dinner time I pull it with two forks and we have pulled pork sandwiches… its SO easy and SO tasty!
    karmen_316(at)yahoo(dot)com

  77. My favorite slow cooker recipe is placing rice & chicken in with a can of cream of mushroom soup. Leave it & it bakes it all itself! I would do before leaving for church or overnight for really creamy but it tastes great!

  78. I love Smothered Chicken in the crockpot (1 italian seasoning packet, one can cream of chicken, 2 tbsp butter, 4 chicken breasts and then 1 pkg cream cheese 30 minutes before serving over pasta or rice). YUM!

  79. My crockpot just went ka-poot the other day! I would love to win this.

    Here’s one of my favs:

    Chicken Salsa

    3-4 Chicken Breast
    Taco Seasoning
    Salsa

    Put the chicken breast in the crockpot, sprinkle taco seasoning over the chicken (I use about 1/3 or 1/2 a pack of seasoning), then pour a jar of salsa over it and let cook on low for 6-8 hours.

    Very yummy!

  80. I love to cook beans in the crockpot. It’s easy, fast and tasty. Just put in beans (I usually use 1 1/2 packs of Navy or Northern), about five cups of water, 3-4 pieces of cooked bacon with the drippings and salt and pepper to taste. I let it cook overnight 8-10 hours and serve over rice.

  82. my tip is always use a slow cooker liner. it saves time and no messy clean up.

  83. I voted for the slow cooker mate at the above link for start up nation!

    Sharon Yarbroughs last blog post..How many cups?

  84. I subscribed to your email newsletter! I love your website,
    very informative!

    Sharon Yarbroughs last blog post..How many cups?

  86. I stumbled across your website, after I purchased my first ‘All You’. I really think that your website is wonderfully informative. I love to use slow cookers. I use them all the time, they really make my life easier! :)
    My favorite recipe for the slow cooker is pot roast. I usu brown a beef roast in olive oil, salt and pepper, then put into my greased slow cooker. I like to add flavor to my roast by adding sliced onions and leeks. After cooking on low all night (about 4 to 6 hours), I add carrots and cubed potatoes,and another 2 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper, and cook on low an additional 2 to 3 hours. I sometimes substitute the potatoes with cauliflower. but do not add it until 1 hour before serving. I love this recipe, because it is a complete meal (minus dessert) in one pot!

    Sharon Yarbroughs last blog post..How many cups?

  90. We like to eat a traditional jewish food that is made in a slow cooker called Chulent which is essentially a bean stew with meat and potatoes

  94. My tip is something that (shamefully) I just learned about slow cooking: Meat does NOT need to be covered with liquid. Shocking, but true. I have always done my corned beef in the slow cooker, covered in water. I tried it the other day, fat side down, covered with the veggies and it made plenty of juice on it’s own. Yummy!

    Kerrys last blog post..Filet O Fish

  97. My favorite dish in the crockpot is applesauce. I peel, core and quarter 4 apples, add 1/4 cup water, a little cinnamon, a little brown sugar, a little vanilla and let it cook for 4 hours. Yum!

  100. Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

    1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (5 thighs), cut into 1-inch pieces
    1/2 cup uncooked wild rice
    1/4 cup fresh or frozen chopped onions
    2 cans (10 3/4 oz each) condensed cream of potato soup
    1 can (14 oz) roasted garlic-seasoned chicken broth
    2 cups frozen sliced carrots
    1 cup half-and-half

    1. Place chicken in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. In large bowl, mix wild rice, onions, soup, broth and carrots; pour over chicken.
    2. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours.
    3. Stir in half-and-half. Increase heat setting to High. Cover; cook 15 to 30 minutes longer or until hot.

  101. Yummy Rotel Dip

    2lb Velveeta
    1lb Jimmy Dean Sausage (or whatever brand)
    1 cans original rotel tomatoes (1 drained, 1 not)

    Cook sausage 1st and add with all ingredients. Cook on low until good & melty. For best results after it melts take it away from the heat to thicken for a little while then turn back on.

    Bring on the nacho chips………..

    and beer. LOL

  102. I have three kids and the first thing they ask me when I come home from work is – WHATS FOR DINNER MOM! I love my slow cooker. I normally use mine overnight and all I have to do is heat up the dinner in the microwave when I get home. My kids love it when I put about 8 pieces of chicken breast in the slowcooker and add a jar of chunky salsa sauce. No need to add vegatables because they are already in there. After it’s done, I add cheddar cheese to it and we have it with mexican rice, and salad with sour cream and dressing. Sometimes we add tortilla chips also to the salad. Very quick and easy.

  103. I love to use my crockpot, since I get up at 5 AM and don’t get home util 6 PM. It is a lifesaver. I am going to leave you one of my recipes that I use a lot when I have compay and got out of the Better Home Simply Slow Cooker cook book. This is the best slow cooker cook book I have gotten and most of our recipes come from here.

    2 Med. apples
    1 medium onion
    6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
    1 16 oz. can of whole cranberry sace. (I use the jellied)
    1/4 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
    2 tablespoons of quick-cooking tapioca
    2 tabespoons of honey
    1/4 teaspoon of salt
    2 6 oz packages of long grain rice and wild rice mix

    In 3 1/2 or 4 quart slow cooker combine apples and onion. Add chicken pieces. In a med. bowl combine cranberry sauce, lemonade concentrate, tapioca, honey and salt. Pour over mixture in cooker.

    Cover and cook on low heat setting for 6 to 7 hours or on high heat for 3 to 3 1/2 hours.

    If you use the rice packages, prepare them according to instructions and service chcken over top of the rice. I like to make mashed potatoes with this alot or put white rice in a rice cooker. My husband is filipino and he grew up on the white rice, so we use hat alot instead of the healthier stuff.

    This is one of our favorites. Hope you like it too!!!!

  104. The best recipe I know for a slow cooker is Coke roast. Add a roast to the slow cooker, pour a packet of onion soup mix over the roast and then add a can of coke. Cook for 4-6 hours until meat is done. The sweetness of the coke cooks off and leaves a very tasty sauce and a very tender roast.

  113. Tip – we use the slow cooker liners for easy clean up! not only is cooking the meal a breeze (we love the classic roast with potatoes) but no scrubbing the crock pot when finished! m_huston(at)hotmail(dot)com

  114. I love to make cocacola chicken. its so yummy! thank for hosting this giveaway :) chantellesabino at mac dot com

  116. thanks to the crockpot lady, i’ve fallen in love with my crockpot…although it is a grandmother hand-me-down….

    My tip is to always prepare the night before….no one wants to mess with raw meat at 7 am!

  117. My go-to quick recipe is put chicken pieces in crock pot and pour BBQ sauce over them. The leftovers make great shredded sandwiches too.

  120. I usually throw in a roast (pork or beef) then whatever veggies I have on hand topped with beef broth. About 20-30 before eating I throw in egg noodles or whip up mashed taters.

  123. I am wearing my crock pot out now that I work till 6:00 love pulled pork just bonless ribs some beef broth then add whatever sauce at the end. delicious.

  124. Turn slow cooker on high to warm up – approx 20 mins.
    Chop the vegetables and either saute them or chuck them in raw. Contrary to the natural laws of science where they say heat rises and you would put the vegetables to be cooked longer at the top, in this case you would put the harder vegetables at the bottom – ie onion and celery below say mushrooms and tomatoes which are softer.

    Michelles last blog post..My chance to learn…

  135. My favorite recipe is Thai Lemongrass Chicken from Cooking Light.

    Allisons last blog post..Hello? Is this thing on?

  136. Oh pick me! I’ve been wondering if these things work. My favorite recipe is really simple and for a traditional Hawaiian favorite, kalua pork: Score a 3 to 5 pound pork butt to form 1 inch squares on the top and bottom. Place in the crock and cover the top and bottom with 1/4 cup rock salt (if you have seasoned Hawaiian salt, even better). Cook on low for 8 to 12 hours. Shred and serve with sticky rice.

  137. Our family LOVES the hot spiced cider:

    2 tsp. whole cloves
    1 orange, sliced
    2 qt. apple cider (you can use apple juice)
    1/3 c. packed brown sugar
    3 cinnamon sticks

    Stud orange slices with cloves. Combine cider, sugar, and cinnamon sticks in slowcooker. Float orange slices on top. Cook on slow for 2 hours prior to serving, maintain low setting for up to 10 hours (it won’t last that long!).

  138. My tip for slowcooking is you can use inexpensive cuts of meat in your recipes. They turn out tender with so much flavor and saves money.

  140. Here is a family favorite.

    3/4 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1″ cubes
    3 small or 2 med. sweet potatoes, cut into 1″ cubes
    1 large, chopped onion
    1 can (29 oz) salsa-style diced tomatoes w/ chilis (undrained)
    1 can (14 1/2 oz) chicken broth
    1 tsp oregano
    1/2 tsp cumin
    1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernal (do not thaw)

    Put everything except the corn in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for at least 6 hours.
    Stir in corn, cook on high until chicken and vegetables are very tender, about 30 mintues.

  144. In the spirit of the holiday (not to mention it really IS one of my favorites in the slow cooker), I’d have to say Corn beef and Cabbage! We love corn beef, and I love the slowcooker! Makes cooking dinner a breeze, especially with 3 little kiddos running around!

  145. Barbecue Bean Soup Recipe

    1 pound Great Northern beans, soaked
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
    2 pounds beef short ribs
    6 cups water
    3/4 cup barbecue sauce

    Place all ingredients except barbecue sauce into crock pot. Cover and cook on LOW for 10 to 16 hours.

    Before serving, remove short ribs and cut meat from bones. Return meat to crock pot. Stir in barbecue sauce before serving.

  148. I’ve never used a crockpot before but I would LOVE to try one. I guess that means I don’t really have a tip. Can I give a generic “follow the instructions”?

    Jennifer S.s last blog post..Spa Basket Giveaway – New Winner!

  150. I would love to win this cockpot. My current one is about 20 years old and I use it all the time. My favorite recipe to cook in my cockpot is Eva’s Homemade Chilli, served with three chesse garlic toasts. My family wants to come over every time I prepare this meal.

  153. We have a lot of potlucks at church. You should see all the crockpots that show up! Favorite are chicken and noodles, roast beef stew, chili, and meat loaf. To have this one at church would be awesome. Most of the ladies don’t have certain recipes – just add whatever looks good!

  154. This sounds like a wonderful slow cooker. My tip: A dear friend knows how much I love stuffed peppers. But they take so long too cook. She told me to try them in my crock pot and WOW! They are amazing in there. Plus they stand up perfectly. 4 in a smaller crock, 5-6 (depending on size) in a larger one. Just be sure to put enough sauce on the bottom and around them.

  163. My favorite thing to fix in the crock pot is cubed steak and mushroom gravy. It is so tender and delicious.

  164. My dinner is in the crock pot now! Here’s a quick and easy dinner tip: Drop a cheap cut of steak into the crock pot. Pour over a can of diced tomatoes (and sliced onion if you like it). Cook on low for 8-9 hours. Great stuff, and SO easy!!!

    Janelles last blog post..$10 Starbucks card giveaway!

  166. I love to use any type of meat and use the onion lipon soup mix..I throw in some veggies…I love my crockpot and can always use a new one…..It’s a time saver…

  167. I love to purchase the whole chickens when they are on sale and then throw those in the crockpot. I can then shred them up and use them for lunches/dinners for at least a couple of days. Saves lots of time.

  176. I’ve never cooked with a crock pot! I’ve bought two as gifts- and have always wanted to get one.. but never did! This would be great because I’ve been “shopping” for a deal for one! Thanks!

  177. I voted for the Slow Cooker Mate. This is a well thought out idea by someone who really cooks!

  179. I love crock pot cooking. My favorite recipe is crock pot lasagna. It is made by layering the normal lasagna ingredients, but you dont have to cook the noodles, just put them in dry! Working with the cooked lasagna noodles is the worst part of making the dish! Now I just put everything in the crock pot and let it cook.

  183. my best tip is to prepare the slow cooker meal the night before. have everything ready to go and the next morning, just put it in the base and turn the power on. Easy Peasy!
    My favorite thing to cook in my crockpot is a whole chicken. i just put the chicken in, throw in some seasonings and cover and viola. then after the chicken is done, i save the juice and the chicken carcass and boil for homemade chicken broth!

  188. We have been using our crockpot about 3-4 times a week for the last few months-ever since I found the 365 crockpot website! Almost everything has turned out very yummy…but since today is St. Patty’s day, and I always have corned beef on this day, I have corned beef in the crockpot right now…1 cup of water, 1 Tablespoon of vinegar, and the corned beef-my mom’s tried and true recipe-can’t get any easier than that!

  191. I would love to make some homemade vegetable soup. I would have to look the recipe up when I go to make it.

  193. My favorite crockpot recipe is also one of the easiest ones–you just take a pork shoulder roast (often called a picnic roast), and put it in the crockpot. Top it with 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 cup salsa. Let it cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4. Shred your roast, and then put it back in all the juices for the best sweet pulled pork you’ve ever eaten.

    Nicole Murrays last blog post..So much for that…

  196. Ooh, I have a great recipe for a lasagna with artichoke and cheeses in it, mmm.. now I’m hungry :D

  201. I cook my pork tenderloins in my crock pot. I put a frozen tenderloin and a can of chicken broth in the crock pot on low. I add any seasonings, normally just some season all pepper and sea salt. Cook about 8 hours, and you have some great tender pork. Normally it shreds like BBQ.

  202. I love the slow cooker.
    Our favorite is to cook a nice big roast
    Season with salt,pepper,garlic
    Add some coarsely chopped onions for flavor
    Add Quartered Potatoes skin on (carrots)
    a little beef broth (not too much)
    cook 8-10hrs low
    Nice meat and potatoes dinner THEN….
    Shred the leftover meat add some juice before refrigerating
    the next day…….Make a Taquito dinner or snack
    Warm shredded meat in micro
    place a stack of corn tortillas in between 2 wet paper towls
    warm in micro about 40-45 sec (until soft )
    Heat veg oil for frying
    roll up shredded meat in tortillas
    fry in oil until golden brown
    season with salt drain oil on paper towel
    Serve with sour cream,guacamole
    Rice and/or beans on the side if serving for dinner

    I always make a HUGE roast then I can freeze portionns for a quick dinner or snack

  206. Wow!! SO excited about this one!!!
    My all-time favorite slow cooker recipe is one that my step-mom used to make for all FIVE of us kids growing up! It has become a loyal “comfort food” and is so easy with a slow cooker! :) It is called Chicken Delicious and lives up to it’s name! :)

    Chicken Delicious Recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chicken-Delicious/Detail.aspx

    With this slow cooker I could even cook some broccoli to go with it!!

    Thank you for the giveaway!! :)

  208. My mother always used a slow cooker and the food came out great. I never got one because it seems that all the good ones are so much money.

  209. Check you favorite thrift store for crockpot cookbooks. I just scored a Better Homes and Garden one with a 2004 Copyright date for $2.99.

  215. Our favorite recipe is Pot Roast. I place a sliced onion in the bottom. Then add a nice sized pot roast and cover with water. I let it cook all day on low. About 1 hour before we are ready to eat I clean several potatoes and carrots. I precook them in the microwave until almost done. I add them to the crockpot to finish cooking. I take some of the broth and make gravy. This is my hubby’s favorite Sunday meal.

  220. I love cooking Swiss Steak in my crockpot! It’s so easy! Put round steak, Swiss Steak mix, and V8 into the crockpot and cook until steak is tender. I also put an oven bag in the crockpot for easy clean up.

  222. Our favorite slow cooker recipe has to be pulled pork, so yummy and easy.
    4-5 lb pork
    1cup rootbeer
    cook 8-10 hours
    shred
    add bbq sauce
    cook another 30 min.
    Eat.

  223. Anything that requires some cooking, I try to see if I can consider crock potting it – surprisingly, it works a lot of the time, sometimes with very few modifications!

  225. Very cool SlowCooker…when making fajitas, just throw a few chicken breasts and some fajita sauce in the crock pot in the morning. When your ready to start dinner, the chicken will shred easily & taste great. Just brown your soft tortillas in butter and taco seasoning, throw on some chicken, soft cheddar & deli salsa and your in business.

  226. Love to crockpot!

    Golden Glow Porkchops

    5-6 pork chops
    salt and pepper to taste
    29-oz peaches, drained (reserve juice)
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    1/4 tsp ground cloves
    8 oz can tomato sauce
    1/4 cup vinegar

    Brown chops on both sides. Drain. Arrange in slow cooker and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place drained peaches on top of chops. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, tomato sauce, 1/4 cup peach syrup and vinegar. Pour over peaches and pork chops. Cover and cook on low 3-4 hours.

  231. My favorite is when my husband makes a roast. We sometimes add veggies like carrots, onions and potatoes. Sometimes we make the roast into a BBQ. We add our favorite sauce and serve with rice and veggies.

    Thanks.

  237. My slow cooker is probably the most used item in my kitchen! My favorite to make is beef stew, but I also like to do my roasts, chicken, pork chops, ribs, almost anything. It is such a time saver with a busy family and schedule. I’d save this for my oldest daughter who graduates college this semester and is looking to move out on her own.
    Thanks for the chance!!

  238. Mine is probably venison stew. Throw in the meat, add some water, a tidbit of olive oil to take the dry taste out of the venison and throw in a couple of packages of lipton soup. serve over egg noodles. YUM!!

  242. My tip would be to cook on a low setting all day and do your best to keep the family for opening the lid. I also usually add Lipton soup mix to all my slow cooked meals.

  247. My favorite thing to cook in the crock pot is roast. Just add a pouch of onion soup mix, some carrots, onions and potatoes and after about 8 hours on low you’ve got a right tasty meal!

    Jackies last blog post..Pledge to end hunger

  253. I was ust telling my DH that we will need to crock pot it more now that we have two new babies to care for. We will have less time to cook fancy meals. I like that there are the crock pot baags to make cleanup easier.

    member(dot)thao(at)gmail.com

  254. With a family of 6, what recipe isn’t my favorite in my slowcooker?!!?
    I tried a new one yesterday. I love to find pork shoulders clearanced for less than $1.00/lb, and I did at my local Kroger affiliate. I rubbed it with a Dona Maria Mole Sauce, which I have only used with chicken. I turned out FABULOUS. With the chicken, sometimes it can be a little too spicy for my little ones. This has a great flavor, but not much heat. We made tacos last night, and will be having at least two more meals later in the week.
    Give it a try :)

  257. Crock Pot Fajitas
    1½ lbs. beef flank steak
    1 lg. onion, chopped (1 cup)
    1 med. green sweet pepper, cut into ½-inch pieces
    1 or 2 jalapeño peppers, chopped
    1 tbsp. snipped fresh cilantro
    1 tsp. chili powder
    1 tsp. ground cumin
    1 tsp. ground coriander
    1 tsp. bottled minced garlic
    ¼ tsp. salt
    1 can stewed tomatoes (8 oz.)
    12 flour tortillas (7-onch.)
    2 tsp. lime juice (up to 3 tsp.) (optional)
    Shredded colby and Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
    Guacamole (optional)
    Sour Cream (optional)
    Salsa (optional)

  258. I love cooking in my crock pot! Here is a recipe I made up for pulled pork:

    Get how ever big of a pork loin that will fit in your crock pot.
    Fill 1/4 mark (of crock pot) full of bbq sauce, any kind you want.
    Fill 1/2 mark full of water.
    Let it cook on high for about 6 hours or until it literally falls apart when the fork touches it.

    Alicias last blog post..Pizza Hut Book It

  260. I’m new to crockpotting since I don’t have my own to use all the time, but I really like fast chili cheese dip with velveeta + canned chili.

    XOXO

  261. I love to make applesauce and spinach/artichoke dip in my crockpot. I get all my crockpot recipes from crockpot365.blogspot.com

  265. My husband makes the best pulled pork in the slow cooker. He just puts some rub on a butt (ooh, sounds dirty) adds onions and a tad bit of water. Leave it cooking on low for about 6-8 hours then turns it up to high for a couple of more hours letting it cook in its own juice. The results are so delicious and sweet.

  271. I love to put everything in the slow cooker the night before and then in the morning take it out and plug it in and you are ready to go. That way you can basically go a whole day without cooking.

  277. I am a subscriber.

    Nicole Taulmans last blog post..Menu Plan Monday ~ Spring Break Version

  278. I love either a beef or chicken stroganoff simmering all day in the crockpot. My other favorite is “Crock pot chicken” cooked with bay leaves. The smell is divine!

    Nicole Taulmans last blog post..Menu Plan Monday ~ Spring Break Version

  279. Ha, I got inspired — so guess what’s in my crockpot now?
    Yep, the recipe I just posted. :o)

    Martys last blog post..This Week’s Homeschool Freebies 3/16-3/20

  282. Pot Roast, potatoes, carrots, onions, 1 pk onion soup dip, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 can of Coke. Cook on low for 9 hours in crockpot. The pot roast will turn out tender and just fall apart everytime. The coke is the best ingredient!

  283. Here’s my recipe:
    CHICKEN IN A POT
    2 carrots, sliced (I use more)
    2 onions, sliced
    2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces (I use more)
    Several quarted potatoes if you have room
    1 whole broiler/fryer chicken, 3-4 lbs. (I’ve also used chicken breasts or chicken legs, which is good for smaller crockpots, or if you want more veggies)
    1 t. salt
    1/2 t. black pepper
    1/2 c. water or chicken broth
    1/2 t. dried basil

    Put carrots, onions, celery, and potatoes in bottom of crockpot. Add whole chicken/chicken breasts. (I usually place some of the veggies around the chicken) Top with salt, pepper, and liquid. Sprinkle basil over top. Cover and cook on LOW 10 hours (or HIGH 6 hours using 1 c. water).
    A favorite dish around here!

    Martys last blog post..This Week’s Homeschool Freebies 3/16-3/20

  292. Here’s a recipe from “Fix It and Forget It Lightly” by Phyllis Good
    Hanburger Casserole
    1 1/2 lb extra lean hamburg, salt, pepper, 2 or 3 potatoes, 2 or 3 carrots, 2 c frozen peas, 2 onions, celery, can low-sodium tomato soup, soup can of water.
    -Brown hamburg, salt and pepper
    -layer sliced or chopped veggies into slow cooker in order above, beef on top of celery
    -mix tomato soup and water and pour into cooker.
    Cover. Cook on low for 6-8 hrs. (320 calories per serving- makes for 6)

  294. Cool giveaway – my favorite recipe is swiss steak – brown cup us pieces of browned round steak (I pound it first to tenderize), cream of mushroom soup and a package of dry onion soup mix. Mix together and cook 6 to 8 hours or until tender. The soup makes a great gravy and the aroma is heavenly!

  295. I love to make pot roast in the crock pot. So easy. One bottom round roast and one envelope of Lipton Onion Soup Mix. Makes a great gravy! Thanks for the giveway…this sounds great! (I’m putting my corned beef in the crockpot today in a little while for our St. Patrick’s Day dinner!)

  297. I have a great recipe for mac and cheese. It makes a huge batch so it is great for holidays and when I am serving the youth group.

  303. I use the crockpot for everything- from roasts..to chilis to cakes- yep you can have a side cooker going and make cornbread :)

  306. I wad up 6 balls of foil, and place a seasoned chicken breast side down on the foil. Cover, cook on High 1 hour, then Low all day. Delicious and frugal.

  307. Actually, this is a question. When I voted for the Slow Cooker Mate, there was a button that said it was for how to get one. When I went there, all it had was comments from people.

    Although I am counting on winning this (smile), I would like to know when we might be able to purchase one and give you the credit for sending us to the purchase. (Public relations and advertising in action!) Please let us know in a later post or article! Thanks a bazillion!

  309. I voted for the Slow Cooker Mate. This is the most exciting product I have seen in a long time!

  310. My favorite crockpot “recipe”:
    Toss a fairly large beef roast in the crockpot. Surround with chunks of potato, carrots, and several onions cut in chunks. Sprinkle in a package of dry onion soup; fill the crockpot almost to the top with water. Cook on low setting most of the day until roast is done. Serve to great acclaim from your family! Save the broth, chill it, skim the fat off and you have the base for a wonderful home-made soup with any left-overs you might have! (It is 5:25 AM as I write this and just typing the recipe is making me hungry!)

  313. My favorite easy meal is the old favorite roast with lots of baby potatoes, baby carrots and onion. Lots of water and some salt. I’m not a great cook, but my husband is impressed. AND I get to smell it all day cooking! My current cooker looks like it came from the early 80s so an update would be good!

  318. To speed up the cooking time of most recipes, including soups and stews, follow the rule that one hour on High is equal to two hours on Low. Don’t use this for cooking desserts. *Thanks* for the giveaway!

  328. I love my slow cooker but I have had many many years and it is on its last leg. My favorite recipe would be Pot Roast, throw in a envie of onion soup mix, some water, and veggies. So yummy! Hubby’s favorite is lasagna: just layer (twice) noodles, spaghetti sauce with browned hamburger meat, a tad bit water, ricotta, and mozzarella. Yummy!

  329. Cheap and easy cleanup: Spray inside crockpot with Pam before cooking. Alot cheaper then those plastic liners.

  334. I like to cook a whole chicken. We always have leftovers,
    so I get two meals for one!! I usually will make chicken tortillas
    or a chicken pasta salad.

  337. BBQ Country Ribs

    1 1/2 cups prepared hickory-flavored bbq sauce
    1/2 cup apricot-pineapple jam
    4 lbs country style pork spareribs, trimmed of fat

    In a medium bowl, mix together 3/4 cup bbq sauce and jam until well blended. Place a layer of the ribs in a 4 quart crock pot.
    Pour on 1/3 of the sauce mixture.Top with another layer of ribs and half
    the remaining sauce. Top with the remaining ribs and sauce. Cover and
    cook on low heat 9 hours or until the ribs are tender but not
    completely falling apart. Remove the ribs to a serving dish. Skim off and
    discard any fat from the sauce in the slow cooker. Stir in the remaining
    3/4 cup bbq sauce then spoon over the ribs.

  339. My tip: Fill the bottom of your crockpot with chopped carrots, celery, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, and a bay leaf. Top with any bone-in chicken that you can find on sale. Add a bit of beer or water. Cook on low overnight or during the day. At dinner time, the chicken will slide right off the bone and be super tender. Slide broth, deboned chicken and veggies into a stock pot. Add egg noodles or dumplings, for a no-work, delicious dinner.

    Thanks,

    Lisa

  342. My favorite slow cooker tip is one to use at the very start of preparation – spray the inside of the crock with non-stick spray for easy cleanup.

  343. i love my crockpot and use it quite a bit especially for spagehetti sauces and chili.

    make sure you brown ground beef before putting it in crockpot. the texture comes
    out much better and there is not as much grease to deal with, and most crock manufactures recommend it. When i do make chili, and want it low fat i just make it all the day before and put the crock in the fridge so the excess fat is on the top the next day and i can remove it.

  346. My tip is to let the kids help! After I chop up veggies, I let them throw them in (or layer them in, depending on the recipe), stir, and participate as much as they can. They love to help make dinner!

    Ginas last blog post..Meal Planning Monday

  353. I guess the best tip I could give is to use the Reynold’s Slow Cooker Liners! I love them! They make clean up a breeze!

  355. I love to slow cook ribs. Thank you very much for this opportunity. Love you site by the way.

  362. Love my crockpot, i make chili, potatoes and roast. I have a box full of 150 receipies for the crockpot. Mine is a very basic one and would love to have this one.

  365. Hi,

    My tip- if you don’t have a programmable crock pot and would like to wait to cook your food, you can use an inexpensive Christmas Tree light timer to set your Crock to start cooking later in the day.

    Happy Cooking!
    Thanks,
    Jamie

  367. Great give-away! My tip is that noodles can get pretty soggy after sitting for 8 hours in a crockpot so it’s best to add them near the end of your cooking time.

  368. I love to make Italian chicken!

    4 potatoes, diced
    1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1/2 cup extra spicy Italian salad dressing
    1/4 tsp. pepper

    Directions:
    Place the potatoes on the bottom of the crockpot, then drizzle with half of the dressing. Top with the chicken, and drizzle with remaining dressing and pepper. Cover crockpot and cook for 6-8 hours on low until potatoes are tender and chicken is thoroughly cooked.

    Yummy!

  371. I love to look through the fridge and find any leftovers and throw a bunch of stuff in the crock pot. It always comes out great.

  372. My favorite slow cooker tip is to use it to help you rise bread – which you can also bake in the slow cooker. Put it on the low setting and the bread rises in about half the time – but you have to watch it carefully, because it can over-rise.

  380. My favorite tip for the slow cooker is a blog I found. She has been on Good Morning America and a few others. http://crockpot365.blogspot.com She has many recipes listed and I have tried a lot of them! Check her out. Also, I love the bags for easy clean up!!

  387. My favorite slow cooker recipe is tortilla soup. It’s usually a conglomeration of whatever beans and rice I have plus either chicken or pork.

  390. My favorite slow cooker recipe is this Bean soup I make. It is so simple! All you do is put in your favorite types of beans and let it cook for 4-8 hours. Yummy!

  391. I got this from the wonderful $5 Dinners site recently and really enjoy it! :)
    Ingredients
    3 chicken breasts
    1/2 cup BBQ sauce
    1-2 apples, peeled and grated
    1 lemon, juiced
    6 slices bacon
    2-3 sweet potatoes
    1 cup chopped broccoli

    Directions
    1. Combine BBQ sauce with grated apple and lemon juice.
    2. Place chicken breast in crockpot, pour BBQ/apple mixture over the chicken. Wrap 2 pieces of bacon around each chicken breast. Set to low and cook for 8 hours.
    3. Cook frozen broccoli as directed on package.
    4. Slit sweet potatoes with knife or vent with fork. Bake sweet potatoes at 350 for 1 hr in baking dish with 1/4 in water. Cover with foil. Remove and let cool about 10 mins. Peel skins off of the potato and mash.
    5. Serve chicken breast with side of broccoli and sweet potatoes.

  394. In college we used to throw frozen chicken breasts, cream of chicken soup, a little water, and one of those pesto packets or creamy pesto packets in to a crock pot and let it cook all day. It was a great way to come home from midterms and enjoy a meal as friends and relax when life was getting a little stressful. Sometimes we’d throw rice, broccoli, and various other vegetables into the sauce as well, but that was only if we had them on hand for whatever reason.

  395. My favorite recipe is for chili:

    2 lbs hamburger meat
    1 large onion, diced or chopped
    1-2 TBS veg oil
    2 cloves garlic minced
    1 can kidney beans (could add 2 if you like beans); drained and rinsed
    2 can diced tomato
    1 can tomato sauce
    2 envelopes chili seasoning such as McCormick’s
    (I like to use one regular and one spicy — that’s the right level for our family)

    1) brown the hamburger meat, drain and add to crock pot
    2) sautee onion in veg oil until translucent
    3) add minced garlic at the very end, sautee 30 seconds; add onion and garlic to crockpot
    4) dump in everything else (cans of beans, sauce, etc.)
    5) stir well
    6) cook on low for 6-8 hrs of high for 4-5

    Even if it doesn’t look very “saucy” at first, do not add more liquid. The tomatoes and everything will cook down over time.

    Serve with sour cream, shredded cheese, saltines, etc. Whatever your family likes. We like cornbread.

  400. my favorite crock pot recipes is either coke roast which is
    a small roast in the crockpot then pour in a package of gravy and then pour a can of coke in instead of water it is yummy

    the other one is bbq ribs which is ribs and bbq sauce

    toni jensens last blog post..Tropical Traditions review!

  401. I usually prepare my favorite chili recipe (a vegetable one with bulgur) on the cookstove and then toss it in the crockpot to simmer for 8 hours.

    Rhonda
    rgbarron01 at yahoo dot com

  402. My favorite tip is to try to brown the meat before adding it to the crockpot especially for things like stew, chili); don’t just throw everything in raw. Use a bit of flour on the b eef you are browning and it will ultimately thicken the stew. Also, sauteeing the onions and/or garlic first imprives the flavor of the finished dish.

  406. Favorite recipe:

    Sausage Dip

    1lb cooked sausage
    2 (8oz) pkgs cream cheese
    2 cans Rotel

    Combine in crock pot. Cook on low 2-4 hours. Stirring often. Serve with tortilla chips.

    Such a yummy recipe!!

  407. This is my favorite slow cooker recipe–Brown Rice and Chicken–
    Scroll down to see more chicken recipes.
    Ingredients:

    * 1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken
    * 1/2 cup chopped onion
    * 2 stalks celery, chopped
    * 2 c. cooked brown rice
    * 1/4 c. dry white wine
    * 2 c. chicken broth
    * 1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds
    * toasted sliced or slivered almonds* for topping, optional

    Preparation:
    Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Cook on low 6 to 8 hours or on automatic 4 to 5 hours. Tope with toasted sliced almonds, if desired.
    *To toast nuts, spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in a 350° oven, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes. Or, toast in an ungreased skillet over medium heat, stirring, until golden brown and aromatic.

  410. Hot Fudge Crockpot Cake

    3 c. skim milk
    1 box sugar free cook and serve chocolate pudding
    1 box Super Moist chocolate fudge cake mix
    1 1/3 c. water
    1/2 c. applesauce
    6 egg whites

    Spray a crockpot container with nonfat cooking spray. Whisk skim milk with dry pudding mix in crockpot until dissolved. In a medium bowl, mix dry cake mix, water, applesauce and egg whites with whisk for two minutes until blended. Very gently pour cake mixture over pudding mixture. DO NOT MIX! Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 1/2 hours. Serve hot

  411. How fun! My favorite thing to do with crock pots is to take a whole chicken, add some all purpose seasoning, cover it with water, and cook on low for 8 hours. When it finishes, the chicken will be super moist and tender and you’ll have tons of meat and chicken stock to use for other recipes. One great way to get the most fat off your homemade chicken stock is to refridgerate it for several hours. The “bad fat” will rise to the top, creating a white layer, and is easily scrapped off.

  420. Helpful tip: If you want your husband to clean up the dishes afterward, buy those crockpot liners. Yeah, they’re expensive, but not having to do the dishes is worth 50 cents a night to me!!!

    Joannas last blog post..My Heart Is At Home!

  423. Favorite recipe:
    10 – 12 boneless skinless chicken tenders,
    2 cans condensed chedder cheese soup,
    2 cups celery,
    combine in crock pot
    let cook all day,
    20 minutes before serving add egg noodles,
    wait until soft, and serve.
    1 dish – zero effort! Even my father in law loves this dish!

  427. I voted at Start Up Nation, I think it’s great that her business was launched this year and she’s doing a grassroots sort of campaign this way.

  428. My fav. recipe is “beef BBQ Sandwiches”
    1 2/3lbs beef roast
    1 bottle BBQ sauce
    1/2 tsp onion powder
    1/2 tsp. pepper

    Place roast in crockpot, Sprinkle w/ onion powder and pepper. Cover w/ 1/2 BBQ sauce. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. remove from crockpot and shred meat. Drain juices from crockpot, and place shredded meat back in. Top with remaining BBQ sauce. cook on low for 1/2-1 hour more.

  433. I have never used a slow cooker, but I think it would be wonderful since we’ve had so many places to be during the day we’ve been eating a lot of PB&J around here. My mom always used to use a slow cooker to do Swedish Meatballs.

  437. I love to make apple butter in my crockpot! This would be a welcome addition in my food preparation!

  438. Voted for the Slow Cooker Mate on Start up Nation!

    Leslie M.s last blog post..It’s Sunday Night.. Ask me if I got my little Doggie!

  442. Would love to have the divided crock! I have a pot roast at home in my slow cooker right now.

    Here is my (not really) recipe.

    3-4 potatos cut into chunks
    1 3-4 lb. pot roast
    1 envelope onion soup mix
    1 can cream of mushroom soup
    1/4 c. water

    Layer potatos in bottom (can add onions and carrots too, but my family won’t touch them, so why waste it–lol). Sprinkle a little onion soup on potatos. Put pot roast on top. Sprinkle with remainder of onion soup. Mix cream of mushroom with water and pour over all. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.

  447. Favorite tip is to prepare everything for the slow cooker the night before. Then the next morning just toss in, set the temperature and time and go! Thanks for the opportunity.

  449. Can you beat a slow cooked pot roast with taters and carrots? Mouth watering just thinking about it.
