I made stuffed peppers in mine this week~i don't follow a recipe though, but any would do. I have several crocks ranging in size from small round to a pretty large round. Then last year I bough this one so I can do stuffed peppers, cabbage and beef brisket w/o rolling it around the inside of the crock.

WoW! Thanks, Big Dog! The carnitas sounds good (they all sound good)...I have a bit different recipe, but I'm gonna defiantly have to try this. Easy dinner....let that cook all day and come home and chop up cilantro, onions, cheese and make some guacamole and I'm in Mexico (said as the Mexicans pronounce it).

Google "Crock pot recipe" and you'll find more of them than you can cook in a lifetime.
Betty Crockers site has some that sound yummy, especially this one:

Thanks, Big Dog! I do have some sites bookmarked....

LakeNewbie~any other good family recipes you would like to share??? I think my family has gotten sick of the bean one, lol, but I haven't

[Soo Sassy]

We made this Friday in our slowcooker and it was damn good but instead of the rotisserie chicken, we used canned chicken because I thought to do it last minute and Kroger didn't have anymore chickens left Thursday when we went.

Chicken Chili

1 rotisserie chicken, pull the meat off & cut up into little
chunks
1 - large jar of the Great Northern Beans
1 package of shredded cheddar cheese (the two cup jobber)
1 jar of Salsa (El Paso Medium tastes the best)
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground Cumin powder

Dump everything into a crock pot & stir to mix. The only water you really use is what you use to swish the jars of beans & salsa clean.
Heat & serve when cheese is melted.
