top ten things to do with a crock pot

Is there really anything more wonderful that walking in the house, starving, and smelling something amazing simmering in crock pot? There probably is, but you get the point. Here are some ideas to use that perfect fall appliance  

1. Crock-pot Mexican Chicken, served over rice on tortillas. Highly recommend!
2. Old Timey Beef Stew – Paula Deen’s recipe, in the crock pot.
3. Pasta Fagioli via crock pot – serve with italian salad and rolls, if you wish.
4. Becky Lee’s Pulled Beef Barbeque – my blog’s winning recipe!!! Delish!
5. Slow Cooker Pot Roast
6. Crock-pot Rotisserie Chicken – I recently made this and it is soooo good. Melts in your mouth!
7. Roasted White Beans – this is a knock-off dish from a local restaurant called Zoe’s. You might think, beans, that’s it? Waste of a dish? But nooooo, trust me. These beans are so good. You will eat them on tortillas, aside chicken, as a dip for corn chips, out of the bowl, and, probably, for dessert later. They are great. Just follow the recipe except with a crock-pot. Make sure you use enough olive oil. *Recipe coming soon* (or ask my sister Julie:)
8. Turkey Breast – Sprinkle with salt and pepper, cook until tender. Serve with mashed potatoes and frozen green beans.
9. Black Bean Chili – the classic crock pot dish, with a twist.
10. Sweet and Sour Party Meatballs – {omit eggs and substitute rice milk, and you have the perfect – allergy free – party dish!}
