With the winter season coming, post your most liked Crockpot

I don't know if this is good yet, I just put the lid on the crockpot, and we'll have it tonight with cornbread. My husband will grouse because he doesn't like lentils, but I'm trying to get more healthy variety into my diet, so he can just suck it up.

Lentil and Chicken Sausage Stew

Throw some boneless chicken breasts or pork chops in the slow cooker and add a jar of salsa. Turn on slow cooker. Walk away. Come back 4-10 hours later, shred meat with a fork, and serve. Good for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, nachos, soup, on top of salad, or I’m sure it would be good mixed with rice or pasta, but I haven’t tried that.

I am going to make this for dinner. Thanks

Do you add the full 2 cups of sugar? That seems like an insane amount, especially with two cups of ketchup, since that’s also full of sugar. 

My family loves chicken and dumplings made in the crockpot!  A lot of people prefer using biscuits, but I use the Bisquick mix for the dumplings.

Here's another one I've made many times. It calls for a boneless turkey breast--you can use a bone-in breast if that's all you can find, just watch for small bones falling out of it into the stuffing. If you turn it meaty side down, that helps. If I can find turkey cutlets (rare) I really like using those instead.

Slow Cooker Turkey and Dressing

8-ounce package stuffing mix
1/2 cup hot water
2 T. butter, softened
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
3 pound boneless turkey breast
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Coat a 4-qt slow cooker with non-stick vegetable spray; spoon in dry stuffing mix. Add water, butter, onion, celery and cranberries; mix well. Sprinkle turkey breast with basil, salt and pepper and place over stuffing mixture. Cook on low, covered, for 6-7 hours. Remove turkey to be sliced and fluff up stuffing with a fork before serving.

These sound delicious! Now that cooler weather has finally arrived I now have a few ideas for dinners.

We love this Slow Cooker Kielbasa and Sauerkraut with Beer and Brown Sugar from the Brown Eyed Baker blog:

12 ozs. beer
1 cup brown sugar
3 lbs. Polish kielbasa
32 ozs. sauerkraut, drained

Combine the beer and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts and the mixture is slightly thickened; set aside.

Cut the kielbasa into links and place in a slow cooker. Cover with the drained sauerkraut. Pour the beer and brown sugar mixture over top. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours, or on low for 8 to 10 hours.

Serve on its own or on your favorite sandwich roll.



RECIPE NOTES FROM BROWN EYED BAKER:

The beer can be from a can or bottle, and you can use whatever you usually drink or keep on hand. I’ve made this with everything from Miller Lite to Lebatt, Guinness, Heineken, you name it! They all work just fine.
The brown sugar can be light or dark.
The sauerkraut can be from a can, jar or bag – just make sure you drain it well.

Skinnytastes lasagna soup and stuffed red pepper soup are my favourites!
