Tess - A few years ago I went into our local Barnes and Noble Bookstore's cooking section and found 3 really good crockpot cookbooks. One is "Easy Home Cooking Slow Cooker Recipes" by Publications International Ltd copyright 1997 ISBN:0-7853-2390-2. Two reasons I like this one is because at the end of every recipe they have nutritional analyses and the other reason is that some of the recipes are great. I'll share one with you right now.
Pork Stew (you can substitute chicken for pork)
2 tsp oil or cooking spray
3 lbs. fresh pork tenderloin or turkey or chicken
2 med white onions, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp oregano leaves, dried
1 can (8 oz.) tomatillos, peeled, drained and chopped (save liquid to add later)
1 can (4 oz.) diced green chilies
1/2 c chicken broth, FF (fat free)
1 large tomato, peeled and chopped
1/4 c fresh cilantro chopped
2 tsp lime juice
4 c hot cooked rice (any kind)
Heat 1 tsp oil or cooking spray in lg skillet over med ht. Add meat, cook 5-10 min til browned on all sides. Remove and set aside. Heat 1 tsp oil or cooking spray in skillet. Add onions, garlic, salt, cumin and oregano. Cook and stir 2 min or until veg soft.
Combine meat mixture and remaining ingredients except rice in slow cooker. Mix well. Cover and cook on LOW 5 hrs or until meat is tender and barely pink in centers. Serve over rice. MAKES 10 servings.
If you make it, let us know how it turned out. That page in my book is marked "wonderful!". I also added sliced mushrooms.
The other books are Sunset Crockery Cookbook, Sunset Publishing Co., Menlo Park, CA, eighth printing Nov. 1999. ISBN 0-376-02224-8.
Better Homes and Gardens all-time-favorite Crockery cooker meals, Better Homes and Gardens Books, Des Moines, Iowa, ISBN 0-696-21001-0 or Better Homes and Gardens Books, Cookbook Editorial Dept. 1716 Locust St., Des Moines, Iowa 50309-3023.
Good luck!
