I'm looking for slow cooker ideas. What is the name of your favorite?

What are the main ingredients? I'll then look it up online. So far I've done Fiesta chicken and Mongolian beef. Loved them both. But I need something with more veggies in it.

1. I posted one of my favorites here:

But I'll re-post the recipe here:

Crockpot chicken stew

1 cup (about four stalks) fresh celery, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
1 cup (about half a large) onion, chopped
1 cup baby carrots, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
1 sweet red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
4 chicken breasts or 5 chicken thighs, fresh or frozen
3 bouillon cubes (I use veg not chicken)
2 to 3 cups filtered water, enough to barely cover the veggies
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning or ground thyme
freshly ground black pepper, I use a lot
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup corn starch

Add fresh veggies, bouillon cubes, water and spices to crockpot. Add chicken pieces on top. Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours, or on low overnight or 8 hours while you're at work, until chicken is nearly done. Remove chicken to a plate, remove skin (for pets) and bones, coarsely chop meat and return to the crockpot. Add frozen peas and corn, and set heat to high and bring to a simmer. Simmer for another 10 minutes. Dissolve corn starch in about 1/4 cup water and add to the stew, stirring occasionally. Simmer for another 10 minutes until thickened. Serve with biscuits, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Enjoy!

2. Pork Loin in Milk Sauce

Chicken with mushrooms and artichokes in red wine sauce

So Sauce simmered chicken

Orange Rosemary beans

And everything else in Rick Rodgers fantastic Slow Cooker Ready and Waiting. I don't know if it's still in print, but I'm sure you can find a used copy on Amazon. Really worth seeking out.

4. I think I saw the chicken artichoke recipe. It looked good.

6. Chicken cacciatore

used to be a fave of mine, but - alas - my slow cooker crock broke when I dropped it in the sink.

Back to the yard sales for someone else's crock pot!

ps: Also, beef stew works for slow cooking, too.
