marnaeb Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I work at night, so I don't have a lot of time to cook before I leave. What are your favorite crockpot meals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Chicken breast, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and onions make a great combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJB Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 This is one of my favorite meals of all time: http://mypaleocrockpot.blogspot.com/2012/02/butternut-squash-lasanga-casserole.html I'm lazy though. I just cook the sausage (ground chicken breakfast sausage), and then dump everything together in the crockpot and stir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leahcarn Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 http://comfortbites.blogspot.co.nz/2013/10/slow-cooker-beef-cheek-port-and-bacon.html?m=1 I have been making something loosely based on this at least once a week for the last month or so. Swap wine/port for bone broth for whole30, omit onions and garlic for low fodmap, don't chop up the cheek if you can't be bothered etc... It's a very forgiving recipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoodess Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Kalua pig Braised Mexican beef (read comments to see crockpot instructions) This is on this week's menu Chicken Tikka Masala over cauliflower rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinaH Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Pot roast. Layer baby carrots and quartered onion on the bottom (and whole baby red potatoes if you want). Place the hunk o meat on top of veggies. Dump a can of compliant diced tomatoes on top. Cook on low for 8 hours. This is so decadent I've made it twice in the past two weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinaH Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Spaghetti meat sauce. Place 2lbs of raw ground meat at bottom of crock. Be generous with your herbs and spices, and dump your choice of canned tomatoes, black olives, mushroom, diced bell peppers, onions, etc on top. Pour two jars of compliant marinara spaghetti sauce on top (in CA we have a grocery store called Fresh & Easy. Their house brand tomato basil marinara in the jar is compliant.). Cook on low for 8 hrs. Mix well (you'll have to break up the ground meat into smaller bits as you stir). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 That spaghetti meat sauce is similar to what I usually do on a stovetop. For veggies I usually add a bag of frozen broccoli or one of the mixed types (w asparagus, mushrooms, etc). Started doing it back when I head about paleo and was backing off of noodles. re: the crock pot, do you wait 'til the end of the cook time to stir, or if you're around do you give it a stir at some intervals? I'm thinking all the flavor might not be able to mix with the ground so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessina Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 One of my staples that I've altered and love is: Half a head of cabbage diced, 1 bag frozen carrots, 3 cans compliant petite diced canned tomatoes, fresh diced mushrooms, 2 to 2 1/2lb browned ground beef, washed but not peeled diced russet potatoes (as many as you can fit). Paprika, Cumin, Italian seasoning, Sage, Onion powder, Garlic powder, Black Pepper (season to taste, I never measure I just put in ^,^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoodess Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 re: the crock pot, do you wait 'til the end of the cook time to stir, or if you're around do you give it a stir at some intervals? I'm thinking all the flavor might not be able to mix with the ground so much. You can stir it but keep in mind it adds about 20 minutes each time you lift the lid for it to get back up to temperature (on low). One good stir midway through should be enough. Just add on a little extra time at the end if you're cutting the total cooking time close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I can't find the original recipe I used, but pulled pork with no liquid! It was just like this, without the spices (I'll try the spiced version next time, but I throw Loisiana hot sauce on mine) http://everydaypaleo.com/beyond-easy-pulled-pork/ Awesome with spaghetti squash and Louisiana hot sauce (check yours is compliant).

Dem Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Pork and Winter Squash Stew Can be made on stove too. Pork stew meat, cut into bite sized pieces Onions Winter squash, cubed Cubed white potatoes (optional) 1 can diced tomatoes Sliced mushrooms Italian seasonings Other add ins that would be good: carrots, spinach, green beans Brown pork on stove, then dump everything into crockpot. Or you can skip the browning. Cook on low all day. A tip I learned from Cook's Country magazine: wrap your veggies in foil and place on top of meat in slow cooker. That way they won't get all mushy. The tomatoes wouldn't need to be wrapped up though for this recipe. I wonder if anyone has found a good paleo slow cooker cookbook? I know there are several on the market...
