Crock Pot dinners!
The lovely Paula subbed her home for Stephanie last night to host Taste of Home's crock pot dinner recipe exchange (hope your kiddies feel better soon, Stephanie!). We may have had duplicate recipes, but there's no harm in that when they taste so good!
Basic Crock Pot recipes
Recipes submitted by Allison S.
Pork roast – Buy a picnic pork roast and put it in the crock pot. Add 1/2 bottle of GOYA citrus and cook all day on medium. *You can find the Goya down the Hispanic aisle at Wal-Mart; it's in a glass bottle with a yellow label. With the left overs you can make pork enchiladas or pulled pork sandwiches.
Pork Enchiladas – I make them with green sauce, cheese and onions. Bake at 350'F for about 30-40 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Chuck roast – Put the roast in the crock pot. Mix 2 cups water and one package of onion soup mix and pour over roast. Add carrots, red or white potatoes, and onions and cook on medium all day.
Turkey – Cook on medium. Add enough chicken broth so the bottom is covered and it will keep the turkey moist.
Chicken – Cook on medium. Add enough chicken broth so the bottom is covered and it will keep the chicken moist. I also add salt, pepper and garlic; or thyme and basil; or salt, pepper and lemon pepper.

Creamy Black Bean Salsa Chicken
From "101 Things To Do With A Slow Cooker"
Recipe submitted by Emily O.
Recipe submitted by Emily O.
2 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup salsa (fresh is best - fresh cilantro and white onions really enhance the flavor)
1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained
1 package taco seasoning
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (I like white cheese better)
Place chicken in greased 3.5 to 5 quart slow cooker. Pour broth, salsa, corn, beans, and taco seasoning over chicken. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or on high 3-4 hours. Remove chicken with slotted spoon and place on serving dish. Stir sour cream and cheese into remainder and pour over chicken. Or shred chicken, add cheese and sour cream and heat until cheese is melted. Serve over rice.
Variation: Add more chicken broth, shred the chicken and make a soup out of it. Let everyone put their own sour cream and cheese into their bowls. You can also take corn tortillas, cut them into thin slice and deep-fry them in oil then put them in the soup for some crunch.

Crock Pot French Dip Sandwiches
Recipe submitted by Melissa S.
1 Roast
1 green or red pepper, cut
1 red onion, cut
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 pkg au jus
Put the roast in the crock pot with the bouillon, pepper and red onion. Cook all day on high heat (the longer you cook it the more tender it becomes). Prepare the package of au jus, but instead of mixing it with water, mix with at least 1/2 meat juices and 1/2 water. Shred the roast, pile on cut rolls, and dip in au jus. The sandwiches are also delicious if you leave the cooked peppers and onions in the shredded roast.
