A few weeks ago I got a new crock pot. I love to use it, but I'm running out of good recipes. Since I don't ever cook red meat (or pork) our crock pot options seem rather limited. So, I'm here to enlist your help....
What are your best chicken, turkey, vegetable, pasta crock pot recipes?
(and if you have a simply-to-die-for red meat recipe pass it along, too. I'm sure David would appreciate it.)

Unfortuneately, my best crock pot recipe is pork chops with apple-cherry stuffing. But you said you don't cook pork. Well, if you decide you'd like it, just let me know. :)
I have some great recipes for you, teriyaki chicken thighs, boston chicken and curry chicken to name a few. Get your email address to me, and I'll forward them to you.

I don't have any crock pot recipes off the top of my head, but Brad loves my Easy Turkey Sloppy Joes. Come to think of it, you could do this in the crock pot!
1-1.5 lbs ground turkey
1 handful diced onions (optional)
1 can tomato soup
1 handful or so brown sugar
Around 3 TBSP apple cidar vinegar
Brown turkey and onions, drain. Add other ingredients and simmer. Serve on any kind of bread or bun, open face. Top with shredded cheese.
Hey Jessi - this is one of my favorites:
Crock Pot Barbeque Chicken
4-6 frozen skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Garlic powder, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 can chicken broth
1 (12 ounce) bottle good quality barbeque sauce
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. liquid smoke
Place frozen chicken in a slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour can of chicken broth over the top. Cover and cook 4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. Drain. Place chicken back in crock pot. You may shred chicken if desired. In a bowl, mix the barbeque sauce, Italian salad dressing, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke. Add to the crockpot and cook an additional 1-2 hours on low to blend flavors. If you have leftover chicken and sauce, save it and make barbeque chicken pizza with the leftovers. Yummy!
Do you want something REALLY simple!?? This is a great one!
I just made it on Sunday when my family came for dinner. :)
5 boneless skinless chicken
2 cream of chicken soup
and some sour cream. I am not sure how much sour cream. I usually just do a few big spoon fulls. I really just pretty much throw this stuff in really fast.
Anyways, you just stir that in to the chicken and cook on low... (I usually don't even put it in till about 11 if you eat around 5). Anyways... Get instant rice and about 30 mins before you eat, pour some in the crockpot with the chicken and stuff... Stir it up and the soup & sour cream with cook it... if you add too much rice, just add some water to it. It is REALLY yummy. I like to shred the chicken up with a fork right before serving. IT IS SO GOOD!
Then I just add some rolls, vegetables or salad or whatever with it. It is SOOO simple and SOOO easy. Let me know if you make it.
Jessi, I have too many crock pot recipes to post. The next time we get together, we will exchange some. I do have to say though, most of mine are red meat recipes.
Oh, and when all else fails, the Banquet chicken and rice herb stew is fabulous. All you do is buy the bag and throw it in the crockpot in the morning! I buy them when they're on sale and when I have a coupon, and it's cheaper than making it from scratch. It feeds the four of us with hardly any left overs though, so you may have to throw in an extra chicken breast and some rice.
I love to use my slow cooker. I do chicken in it all the time. I have a recipe like Shana's only I put cream cheese instead of sour cream and the a can of green chilis. It gives it a little kick. Also chicken with salsa. Just cook the chicken for a while then pour salsa over it and cook then shred it if you want. If you want it creamy add some cream cheese. You can put this over rice or make soft tacos with it. I also do Terriaki chicken alot. Just add Yoshida's Gourmet sauce and cook all day. Serve over rice. What are some of your favorite ones?
Sorry, Jess - you know me - RED MEAT. I'm also not very good at recipes and amounts. So I'll do my best to remember. But we cube some beef roast meat, then cook it through in the crockpot. I dice up red potatoes, carrots, celery, and white onion - in large pieces. Then add cream of mushroom soup can and a can of tomato soup. It usually needs some more juice so I'll add some beef broth and it makes my husbands favorite crockpot stew. The sauce is thick and creamy!
The second is pork, sorry again. But it is really good. Again, taste recipe rather than amounts, but grab a dozen or more large green tomatoes from the garden, before they go red. Dice them and cook them in the crockpot for hours with finely chopped onions, jalapeno, green chilies (fresh or canned), green peppers, cumin. Eventually it makes a green chili verde sauce. I'll remove the sauce, then cook a pork roast until it falls apart into shred, pour over chili verde sauce and cook together another hour. Serve chili verde in a warm tortilla with shredded mozzarella. Yum.
Hi -- Coming in a bit late on this one; just been blog-cruising today & came across this. My sister makes a nummy 7-bean chili in her crock pot; easy peasy. One super easy suggestion I have is making chicken tacos. All you do is put a couple or few chicken breasts in there with some salsa; before dinner you pull the chicken apart & it's all shredded nicely & seasoned perfectly with the salsa. Nice n' juicy. Of course you have to have the other taco or burrito ingredients ready but it's still super easy, & great for those of us who could eat Mexican food every day!
