I am having a really busy week and needed to save some time, so I chose this Slow Cooker Chicken with Veggies and Rice Recipe. It is pretty much a set it and forget it recipe with very little prep time. I was kind of hungry for chicken this week and this did the trick. I served this with rice, but it makes a terrific gravy and would also go great with mashed potatoes. The recipe calls for 6 chicken breasts, but  my wife and I were the only ones eating at home tonight so I cooked 4; but used the same amount of the other ingredients which gave us some leftovers for later in the week. The dominant spice in this recipe is thyme and it comes though rather strong; so if you don’t care for that seasoning I would cut it down or eliminate it. I have listed it as optional. If you need a good easy fix for dinner give this Slow Cooker Chicken with Veggies and Rice Recipe a try and enjoy.

This is not your average taco. This Pulled Beef for Tacos Recipe was so good I almost ate the beef roast before it got into the taco shells. Included here is the basic recipe for the slow cooker pulled beef; I have pretty much left it up to you; to top it, with your desired condiments. I used the standard toppings consisting of, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, salsa, and topped it with shredded provolone cheese. This is a mildly seasoned recipe, so season it to taste if you want to turn up the heat. Another nice feature about this recipe is, you can set it and forget it, because it’s a slow cooker recipe. Treat your family to this Pulled Beef for Tacos Recipe; you and your family will love it. Enjoy

  4. Place in the Crock pot or slow cooker.
  5. Using the same pan, add the onion and cook for about 2 minutes before stirring in the garlic and tomato paste. After another minute, stir in the beef broth and spices along with any browned beef scraps left in the pan.
  6. Then pour the seasoned broth and onions over the top of the roast.

I love Lasagna, except it always seems like a big project to make it. I have wanted to try Slow Cooker Lasagna, so I decided to give this Slow Cooker Lasagna Recipe a try.

I always look forward to the fall and the deer hunting season that it brings with it. I have had a pretty successful season and have been looking forward to preparing some Venison Stew. I had a very busy day coming up and decided on a Venison Stew Slow Cooker Recipe. I really needed something I could prepare in the morning so I could set it and forget it till dinner time that night.  I had some out of town business to take care of and when I returned to the house that evening the delicious smell of the cooking Venison Stew filled the whole house.

This is pretty much a basic recipe and you could successfully alter the ingredients almost anyway you would like, or substitute beef stew meat in place of the Venison.
