| Please share your favorite crock pot recipes with me. I am 9 months pregnant and am finding it hard (no energy and very little time when I come home from work) to get dinner ready for my DH, DD (15 months old) and au pair every night. TIA. |

| To the post roast poster: What cut of meat do you buy? Do you just throw everything in raw or have to pre-cook any of it? How long do you cook it for? As you can probably tell, I'm new to using a crock pot. Thanks! |

This is my favorite pot roast recipe:

Hearty Turkey and Vegetable Soup
Ingredients: -1 lb uncooked ground turkey -1 cup chopped celery -1/2 cup thinly sliced carrot ( 1 medium ) -2.5 cups reduced sodium tomato juice -1, 14.5 oz French cut green beans, drained -1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms -1/2 cup chopped tomato ( 1 medium) -1 tablespoon dried minced onion -1.5 teaspoon worcester sauce -1 teaspoon dried basil -1 teaspoon dried oregano -1/2 teaspoon garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon of sugar -1/4 teaspoon salt -1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper - 1 bay leaf 1) In a large skillet cook turkey, celery, and carrot until turkey is no longer pink; drain off fat. 2) In a 3.5 quart slow cooker combine turkey mixture, tom juice, drained green beans, mushrooms, tomato, onion, Worchester sauce, basil, oregano, garlic powder, sugar, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. 3) Cover and cook on low heat setting for 6 hours or on high heat setting for 2.5 to 3 hours. Remove and discard bay leaf. I add extra veggies and a little more broth. IT is really yummy and my 12 month old loved it too! Also I use fresh herbs when I have them but dried herbs taste good too. It is also really good with bread or cornbread |

CROCK POT SWEDISH MEATBALLS
1 1/2 c. fresh bread crumbs 1 c. milk or cream 1 1/2 lbs. ground chuck 1/2 lb. lean ground pork [I buy whatever the ground meat mix they have at the store, I think its beef/pork/veal, but whatever the preference is] 2 eggs 1 med. onion, chopped fine 1 3/4 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. cardamom, optional 1/8 tsp. pepper 1/8 tsp. nutmeg 1/4 tsp. allspice Soak bread crumbs in milk for 5 minutes in a large mixing bowl. Add beef, pork, eggs, onion, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, allspice, nutmeg and cardamom. Mix well. Shape into 1 inch balls. Place on broiler pan and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Put browned meatballs in crock pot. Add 1 can beef consomme or broth, 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup, 1 can Cream of Golden Mushroom soup, and one package of brown gravy mix. Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours (high 2-3 hours). When I did this, it was a bit thick, so I added some milk (or sour cream), but that's not really part of the recipe. |
