HELP: Slow Cooker Recipes: Super Fast and Easy?
Posted by Mandy M. Roth on Oct 26, 2012 in Day in the Life |
I’m a big fan of using my slow cookers this time of year. Problem is, most of the recipes I have require many ingredients and prep time just to slow cook all day. I’m looking for something easy and fast with very few things I need to do besides throw it all in the cooker and walk away. I will say, my youngest is allergic to dairy so I can’t make cheese/milk like things. Also, husband hates mushrooms. I think that is it. I’m up for any help anyone can offer. Thank you!

I love this recipe for the slow cooker. It’s called “make-it-mine chili” and you pick your combination of ingredients.
1 and 1/2 pounds of meat – choose beef chuck top place steak, pork shoulder (cut into 3/4 inch cubes), beef stew meat, ground beef or ground pork
3 cups of chopped vegetables – choose assorted onion, peas, broccoli, celery, carrots, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, zucchini or sweet peppers
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cans of beans – choose black, pinto, garbanzo, white kidney or red kidney (15 ounce)
2 cans of diced tomatoes (15 ounce)
1 can tomato sauce (15 ounce)
1 cup liquid – choose beer, water, beef broth, apple juice or chicken broth
2 tablespoons of chili powder
1 teaspoon of dried herb choose thyme, oregano, italian seasoning or basil
1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper or crushed red pepper
put in crock pot 6-8 hours!
Yum! Thank you!

“I’m generally adding butter beans to a lot of things now for extra protein and fibre, and they can just be chucked in too.”
“I’m queen of the super easy slow cooker recipe. I don’t even brown the meat first – Jamie Oliver says it’s fine and he’s right!”
Thank you!
