Mandy Sexton says
Slow cooker meals are my FAVORITE!!! I got one as a wedding gift years and years ago, and I have absolutely worn it out! I would love to have a modern one. My favorite thing to make in it is black bean cream cheese chicken. I agree it and serve it on tortillas, and it's one of my favorite dishes, ever!
Crystal Lego says
i love making chili, meatless lasagna, chicken noodle soup and vegetable soup. Also do homemade tomato sauce, apple butter and applesauce for canning.
Jim Kottke says
I've seen several ways to make corned beef using a slow cooker and would like to try one. Boiling it with cabbage and potatoes doesn't cut it anymore.
Kim boucher says
I love to make pot roast. Or BBQ chicken. Yum.
Emily says
I love my slow cooker! I get it out almost daily. I cook a lot of beans from dry and the slow cooker makes that easy, or I love to throw a bunch of chicken breasts in there, and then I shred the meat and freeze it in dinner size portions so it's all ready to go. I have to say, though, that my favorite thing to cook it in is overnight steel cut oats. I throw them in at night before bed, set it to warm, and by morning they are perfect! Ready to scoop and serve. It doesn't get better than that!
Ashley says
I've never made anything in a slow cooker because I've never been able to afford one. 🙂 And, I'm just beginning to enjoy cooking in general. Never was a fan, but I'm definitely interested in learning. I love to bake for people, but would love to make real meals too.
If I had a slow cooker I would probably do soups, dips, and try all new things often. I'm just beginning to branch out of eating the same 10 things, each week my challenge to myself is to try something new. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. However, the ability to have the time to cook is often difficult to find. I want to make healthy items (which, I have tried things off your blog), and I hate touching raw meat so your foods are definitely good to try!
Lisa says
Slow cookers are not expensive and I am sure you could find one at a yard sale or thrift store. I use mine frequently, but I know a lot of people use their Instapot now, so maybe you can post on social media that are looking to see if anyone is not using theirs any longer that you could borrow or trade for something? ?

My crockpot has been working OVERTIME the last two weeks - I would LOVE to have a second one.. because for a foodie... one just isn't enough sometimes 🙂
Faye Hoffpauer says
I don't have a slow cooker... But I would love to try cooking Braised ShortRibs .. Or maybe Beef Barley & Mushroom Soup 🙂

My favorite thing to make crock pot style ... such a hard question. I have a few favorites: corned beef and cabbage with potatoes and carrots, green chili beef for my husband, and root beer bbq pork! I also love to make apple butter. But my crock pot is old, like handed down to me from an ex boyfriends grandma, and has a messed up lid. The thought of a crock pot switching to warm would be wonderful for those poorly planned busy crock pot days!

I don't really do meatless, but I just had to comment and say that I agree with you about food coming from the crockpot looking… less than appetizing! It all kind of blends and mushes together. But I love my crockpot anyway! I just posted a video today about how I use it to make yogurt.
Holly Waterfall says
ooh, i'll definitely have to check out the yogurt video. i've heard of people doing that in the crockpot and have been intrigued.
