We are so thankful for a friend that introduced this recipe to us! We love BBQ and it so nice to make it ourselves! This recipe is of course easy and can easily be frozen for a future meal.
Boston Butt--I usually get about 7 or 8 lbs
Put your pork in the crockpot, fat side on top to keep it more moist. Then we drizzle some olive oil on top. sometimes we sprinkle some seasonings on top, like taco seasonings. Cook for 6-8 hours on low. When it is done shred the pork with two forks. Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce vinegar, tomato based or mustard based!
This makes plenty, so if you are having company it is good or leftovers or to freeze just put in freezer bags and label. So easy!

Super Easy Italian Chicken
This is a good one for when you are low on time and very easy ingredients to keep on hand.
4 boneless, skinless frozen chicken breasts (I actually used not frozen and it was fine)
1 package of Italian dressing mix
1 cup of warm water or chicken broth
Put chicken in crock pot. Sprinkle dressing mix over chicken. Pour water or broth over chicken. Cook on low 6-8 or high 4.
Serve over egg noodles or any noodles you like:)
Use the times for all recipes as a guide. My crock pot gets really hot, so with this I was able to do 4 hours on low.
Enjoy!

Salsa Chicken
This is a super easy and yummy recipe that I got from the local multiples club moms. My family absolutely loves it and the best part is that it couldn't be any easier!
3-4 Frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 jar of salsa
1 bag of frozen corn
1 can of black beans-optional-I don't add these, but you can
Put frozen chicken in the crockpot. Add the rest of the ingredients. Cook on Low 6-8 hours or High 3-4 hours.
We like to eat ours in tortillas with cheese and sour cream and chips of course! There is always plenty for leftovers the next night, so I like to serve with rice.

Continental Chicken
Tonight we are having an old family favorite. My mom got this recipe from a friend of hers and we use to have this a lot when I was growing up, except we just called it Chicken with Bacon wrapped around it! Later in life I learned it had a real name:) My husband and kids love, love, love this!!
Continental Chicken
3-4 Chicken breasts, boneless, skinless and halved.
6-8 slices of bacon (or a whole pack-that is how much we like!)
10 oz can cream mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup flour
1 jar dried beef
Line the bottom of your crock with dried beef ( I sometimes leave this out if I don't have it on hand). Wrap your chicken breast halves with bacon. I use two slices per chicken piece and if I have a couple left at the end I just throw it in with the chicken. Place chicken on top of dried beef. In a bowl mix soup, sour cream and flour. Pour over top of chicken. Cook on High 3-4 hours or Low 6-7 hours. Serve over rice or egg noodles.
We love it with rice or noodles, but my favorite is rice. I hope you love this as much as my family does!

Taco Soup
This is a perfect meal for the rainy, cold day we are having! My whole family loves it and best of all it is easy and ready fast if you need it to be. I usually combine several recipes, because I never have all the ingredients of one recipe. My husband actually likes it better when I make something up:)
1 lb Ground hamburger, browned
15 oz can Pinto Beans, drained
15 oz can Light Kidney Beans, drained
15 oz can Corn, drained
14 oz can Diced Tomatoes, drained
10 oz can of Tomato soup or you can use Tomato sauce
1 pkg Taco seasoning
Ground your hamburger and drain the grease. Combine all other ingredients in slow cooker. Once hamburger is browned add it to the slow cooker. Cook on low 4-5 hours.
We eat ours with sour cream, tortilla or corn chips, flour tortillas (the kids like to eat is like burritos), and cheese. I have some avocados that I have going to serve with it tonight. Yummy!

One-Dish Chicken Supper
This is what's for dinner tonight. We won't be eating until after tennis this afternoon, but it smells so good and I couldn't wait to post this recipe! It is a new one, so we'll see how the family likes it.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
10 3/4 oz can cream of chicken, or celery, or mushroom, soup
1/3 cup of milk
1 pkg. Stove Top Stuffing mix and seasoning
1 2/3 cups of water
Place chicken in slow cooker. Combine soup and milk. Pour over chicken. Combine stuffing mix, seasoning packet, and water. Spoon over chicken. Cover and cook on Low 6-8 hours.
Now I only had cornbread Stove Top stuffing in my cabinet, so that is what I used. It doesn't contain a seasoning packet, so I omitted that part. This is a new recipe and I am excited to see how it turns out. It smells super yummy and was super easy to make! You know it is easy when you can easily make it while having a screaming 18 month old at your feet! I will post later about how it turned out and how the kids like it. They don't really like stuffing and I just keep it on hand for recipes, so I am hoping they don't notice that is what is in it!
Ok....it was a hit! Everyone liked it. The big boys didn't like the stuffing, of course. I don't think they would have even noticed had their father not asked them if they wanted stuffing! UGH! The baby liked it too and I thought for sure he wouldn't since it wasn't breaded chicken.

Easy Chicken
This recipe is exactly what the title says, EASY!! It is a favorite in our house and can be made when you are really in a hurry. Tonight this is what we had for dinner...
5 or 6 FROZEN Boneless, Skinless chicken breasts
1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce.
Put in frozen chicken. Then pour bottle of BBQ sauce over top. Cook for 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low.
We love Sweet Baby Ray's and it is always on sale BOGO at Harris Teeter, so I stock up and this is a meal I make when I don't have time to think about what ingredients I need. All you have to come up with is sides! One variation I have done is added sliced onions on the bottom and that is super yummy, if you like onions.
Tonight I also topped it off with an old favorite dessert, Cherry Dump Cake. It was not made in the crock pot, but an easy recipe and one that keeping the ingredients on hand is easy to do.
1 can crushed pineapple
1 can cherry pie filling
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick of butter, melted
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Mix the cherries and pineapple and put in 9x13 baking dish. Then sift cake mix over top. Put pecans on top, if you choose. Then pour melted butter on top. Bake on 350 for 30 mins or until golden bubbly, mine usually takes about 45 mins.
