Our all time favorite is what I call Red Pig Barbeque. (After a resturant that my husband and I used to go to when we were in college)

Take any cut of pork, beef, turkey or chicken and put it in a crock pot with a little water and an onion. Cook it to death (actually just until it falls apart). Take all the bones out. Add 1 bottle or 1 receipt of your favorite barbeque sauce. Cook some more. When you are ready to serve get your favorite buns (mine are homemade, just out of the oven) slap on some coleslaw and a good spoonful of the barbeque meat. A little hot sauce if you like and enjoy. My mouth waters just thinking about this!!!! I had a party at Christmas one year and made a lot of really good dishes. Halfway through the party the turkey barbeque was gone and people were using rolls to sop up the pan!!!!

Here's a common one but I really like it.

Broccoli Rice Casserole

1 tbsp. diced onion (or 1 tsp. dried onion bits) 1/4 c. butter or margarine 2 c. quick-cooking white or brown rice 2 c. water 1 (10 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup 1/2 tsp. salt 2 (5 oz.) jars sharp Old English cheese 2 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped broccoli, thawed

Throw it all in the crockpot and cook it on high for an hour, stirring occassionally.

Yahoo groups has a list called crockpot recipe. I've gotten tons of great ideas from this list.

slowcooker-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Patty, this is one of my favorite lists! 5 to 10 great recipes each day, sent in by folks who use them, then others try it and say "it's great" or "it didn't work, try this" I try at least one a week! Hope to see you on their! I also visit,

http://www.dinnersinthefreezer.com/ http://www.freerecipe.org/recipesmain.html

but just like my cheesemakers list, I love it when real folks actually send in the recipe and say what they used it for. Vicki

This is really a good easy one! 1# boneless chicken,cut up, 1 stick of butter, 3 cans of chicken broth or your own stock, 1 can cream of chicken soup, chopped onion as you like, cook all this on high for 4 hours or so. add 12-16oz. of Klusky dry noodles all at once and cook another hour stirring occasionally. Salt and pepper to taste. (Sometimes I throw in carrots or celery in the beginning.) Creamy and delicious!!!

I'm born-again single, so I'm not terribly scientific about crockpots. Any stew mix (Irish stew, steak and kiddeley, yes?). I tend to just throw in chopped shin beef or steak-and-kidney mix or other lean chopped meat (or my special patent dried minced beef), chopped onions, vegetables, too much water, and let it go. I use "too much" water because then it can simmer freely, otherwise you tend to end up with meat cooked and vegetables underdone. I pour or dip off the excess liquid and use it as soup stock, and mix in some canned or packet soup; then add gravy mix to what's left in the pot. Beans work tremendously well too, but then I'm unmarried, and I guess if married folks ate too much in the way of beans there'd be less marriages. A good crockpot meal, like a good soup, can run for days - continually dipped into and topped up.
