chicken and bean chili, about 4 servings 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (2) 15.5oz can crushed tomatoes in puree (2) 15oz navy beans, rinsed and drained (2) 15oz black beans, rinsed and drained 8 oz tomato sauce 8 oz diced roasted chiles, drained 1 large yellow onion, chopped 1 bell pepper, chopped 3 garlic, minced or more to taste 3 jalapenos, seeded and minced 4tbsp red wine 6tsp chili powder pinch of oregano and ground cumin rinse and dry chicken; cut into 2"pcs and sprinkle w/ s&p to taste. place in slow cooker and combine other ingredients. cover and cook on low for 7-9hrs. serve with any condiments you'd like. i topped it with some shredded pepper jack. no sour cream or crackers in the house otherwise i'm sure they'd be served on top. the outcome... excellent. in fact, i overslept and the chili was on low for about 10hrs and still very good. i made extra to freeze. [img][image] http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv308/lotsanivanh/food005.jpg[/img][/image] jerked chicken drumsticks, serves 2 2 jalapenos, cut in half and seeded 5 scallions, cut into pcs 2tbsp cider vinegar 2tbsp brown sugar 1tbsp olive oil 1tbsp soy sauce 1 lime, juiced 3tsp jerk seasoning 3/4tsp salt 4-6 drumsticks 1 bell pepper, sliced place all ingredients except chicken and bell pepper in a food processor and puree until smooth. place drumsticks in the slow cooker and coat each piece with seasoning paste. add the sliced bell pepper on top. cover and cook on low for 6-7hrs. the outcome... slow cooked pulled bbq chicken, serves 2 1 small white onion, chopped 2 garlic, minced 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the bbq sauce: 1/2 cup ketchup 2tbsp cider vinegar 2tbsp light brown sugar 1tbsp olive oil 1 1/2tsp worcestershire sauce 1/2tsp chili powder 1/4tsp chipotle chile powder 1/4tsp salt 2 big buns or 4 small buns sprinkle onion and garlic over bottom of the crock and arrange thighs on top. make the sauce and pour over the thighs. cover and cook on low for 7-8hrs, until chicken pulls apart easily. shred the chicken with forks. the outcome... loved the simplicity and big flavor. forgot to take a photo though. sorry. for a few years the slowcooker sat in the box all sealed up. finally took it out of the box about a year ago and am enjoying it. this weekend i went a little overboard and made all sorts of recipes. these were my favorites. only thing i would change, because i like heat, would be to bump up the peppers in the first two recipes.

Ale-Sauced Pork Ribs and Vegetables
Cook: 8 hours low, 4 hours high Ingredients
2-1/2 to 3 lb. bone-in pork country-style ribs 1 12-oz. bottle dark ale or stout or nonalcoholic beer 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 Tbsp. finely shredded lemon peel 1 Tbsp. dried rosemary, crushed 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper 8 small gold or red potatoes (8 oz. total) 12 oz. peeled fresh baby carrots 1/4 cup cold water 2 Tbsp. cornstarch Fresh Rosemary sprigs (optional) Shredded lemon peel (optional)
Directions 1. Place pork in a large self-sealing plastic bag set in a shallow dish. Add ale, garlic, lemon peel, dried rosemary, salt and pepper. Seal bag. Turn to coat. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight, turning bag occasionally.
2. Place potatoes and carrots in bottom of 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Transfer pork ribs to bed of carrots and potatoes. Pour ale mixture over all. Cover and cook on low-heat setting 8 to 9 hours or on high-heat setting 4 to 4-1/2 hours.
3. Remove pork and vegetables from cooker. Cover; keep warm. Pour cooking juices through sieve set over a heat-proof bowl to strain. Measure 2 cups of cooking juices, adding water to make 2 cups, if necessary. Stir together water and cornstarch in medium saucepan. Add 2 cups meat juices. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Serve sauce with meat, vegetables. Garnish with fresh rosemary and lemon peel. Makes 4 to 6 servings. (You could add some small peeled onions to the crockpot, too. I also make this with chicken thighs instead of ribs.)

There's one in my Mom's old CrockPot recipe booklet (ca. 1969)... the one that came with the crockpot... I asked her for it, but she won't part with it!

[img][image] http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv308/lotsanivanh/IMG_0102.jpg[/img][/image] this savy cook didn't see your post until now regarding low cal, low carb. not a whole lot i'd change though, except a bit more s&p to taste. i made some minor changes. i used beef ribs, quartered a large onion based on your suggestion, and i didn't bother thickening the cooking sauce because i was too hungry and also no company tonight. reading the recipe though it seems you would have to add water to the cooking sauce, as 12oz is only 1.5cups. maybe next time i won't be so lazy about thickening the sauce. anyway, thanks for sharing the recipe. delicious, especially on a cold day like today.

Slow Cooker Lentil Soup With Smoked Sausage From about.com.....
Lentil Soup is so good for you and delicious. I haven't tried this recipe but I will with Smoked Turkey Sausage or even Apple Chicken Sausage. This lentil soup is quick and easy to prepare for the slow cooker. Combine the ingredients, cover, and push the button!
Ingredients: 8 ounces lentils, about 1 cup 12 to 16 ounces smoked sausage, your favorite variety, thinly sliced 2 cups chicken broth 1 large onion, diced 1 cup diced carrots 1/2 cup diced celery 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 teaspoon salt
Preparation: In a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker, combine the lentils with sausage, chicken broth, onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours, or until lentils are tender. Add tomatoes and salt and continue cooking for an hour or two longer.

Thia is one of my favorites that I found online. I serve it with tortillas and also make a pot of Mexican rice with it. It might sound like a weird recipe but it is delicious. You can adjust the spice heat to your liking.
MEXICAN FLANK STEAK 2 1 lb flank steaks 1/2 teaspoon Salt 1/8 teaspoon Garlic salt 1/8 teaspoon Pepper 1 15 oz can Tamales in sauce (Hormel is what I have found) 1 teaspoon Instant beef bouillon -- Granules 1/4 cup Hot water 8 ounces Tomato sauce dash Bottled hot pepper sauce 2 tbsp Cold water 4 tsp Cornstarch Shredded monterey jack Cheese Pound meat on both sides with meat mallet; sprinkle with salt, garlic salt and pepper. Unwrap tomales; place tamales and sauce in bowl. Break up tamales slightly with fork; spread over steaks. Roll up each steak jelly roll style, starting with short side; tie or skewer securely. Place in crockery cooker; dissolve bouillon in the hot water; combine with tomato sauce and hot pepper sauce. Pour over meat. Cover; cook on low heat setting for 8 to 10 hours. Lift out meat rolls; remove strings or skewers. Pour cooking liquid into saucepan; skim off excess fat. Blend the cold water into cornstarch; stir into liquid. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Spoon over meat, sprinkle cheese atop each roll.
