I’ve been making this since I first found your recipe in 2019 and it’s one of my all-time favorites. Delicious!! I leave out the mushrooms, add green beans, use 2 bags of beefless tips, and use Yukon potatoes. Heaven. Thank you for sharing this!

You can make perfect baked potatoes in the crockpot which I like to do the day after I make veggie chili in it too. Unfortunately mine isn't very trustworthy lately. It seems to over heat and burn everything even on low heat.

Hi,
I love my slow cooker but there are so many new ways and recipes for me to try. You woild know that my cooker is on its last leg. It got really hot on the outside the last time I used it and now I can not leave it on unless I am home to watch it.
I love your recipes, I have been tring to cut meat out of my husband and I diet. I have been experimenting with tofu. It is really good it takes on the flavor of the marinad or sauce. Thank you again for the healthy recipes have.

I'm so happy that you've been enjoying my recipes! Going meatless can still be super delicious. Sometimes it takes some experimenting, but you'll get it!
Tiffany says
My favorite slow cooker recipes are mostly chicken ones. Really though, I love anything in my slow cooker simply because it makes dinner time so much less stressful!
Alycia Hacke says
I don't own one! I would love to make apple butter though. My fiance on the other hand would probably want me to make some pulled pork.
Amy Kate says
My family loves Tyler Florence's slow cooker BBQ pork shoulder! It's a great meal for a crowd.

We love homemade pumpkin applesauce made in the slow cooker! Such a nice Fall treat!
Janet Pechalonis says
I love making chili, tomato sauce, as well as roasted meats and stews in a crock pot. I am a vegetarian and would like a crock pot for my own veggie recipes, but for now I use the one I have for meat dishes my family loves.
Jeannette T. says
I use my slow cooker all of the time. We make all kinds of chicken recipes, chili, pork and beef recipes. Apple sauce and butter. So many things. Hard to choose a favorite.
Lori Scott says
Pot Roast...but with meat (sorry)!
Monica Carr says
...chef's Dinners Done workshops and I've done mostly chicken dishes. We season the meat add additional ingredients and put them in ziplock bags in the freezer. It's so convenient to take out a bag, throw it in the crockpot and voila, dinner is ready when I come home. I love everything I've made so far!
