Hey fellow cuddlers!
My partner has a deadly tree nut/peanut allergy and I need some more ideas for EASY crockpot recipes that ya'll love!
Thank you in advance
Have a great day!
I love beef ribs and caramelized onions
There really isn't a bad recipe for the slow cooker.
Moroccan Harissa Lamb Stew – Crockpot Dump Recipe
Ingredients:
Seasonings:
Directions:
Dump everything except the kale into your crockpot and give it a good stir.
Cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours with cubed lamb. If using browned ground lamb, LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
Add kale during the last 20–30 minutes.
I serve it with hummus and or garlic sauce and pita or naan or crusty bread
Easy Crockpot Taco Soup
Brown the ground turkey or beef and drain any excess fat.
Dump everything into your crockpot, give it a good stir, and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours.

Mississippi Pot Roast
Ingredients: 3–4 lb beef chuck roast 1 large yellow onion, sliced 1 jar (12–16 oz) pepperoncini peppers 1 packet ranch dressing seasoning mix 1 packet au jus gravy mix (or beef gravy mix) ½ stick butter (4 tbsp), optional
Directions: Place sliced onions on the bottom of your crockpot. Put the beef roast on top. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning and au jus mix over the meat. Dump the pepperoncini peppers over everything, along with ¼–½ cup of the juice from the jar. Use more juice if you like it tangy! Place butter on top if using.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or HIGH for 5–6 hours, until the beef is fall-apart tender. Shred the beef right in the crockpot and stir it into all those delicious juices.
Serve with: Mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, rice, or on toasted rolls (I like to use Hawaiian rolls) for Mississippi beef sandwiches
Loaded Potato Soup

Mash some of the potatoes right in the crockpot to thicken the soup, leaving plenty of chunks. Add cubed cream cheese and stir until melted and smooth, about 20–30 minutes. Turn the crockpot to WARM or OFF. Stir in shredded cheddar a handful at a time until melted. Add sour cream if desired.

I was a nanny and house manager for 25 years ... I have tons of easy quick meals.
wow! thank you so much! lots of great ideas
I like doing Broccoli Cheddar Soup.
Two bags frozen broccoli 4 cans of cheddar cheese soup 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 1 cup whole milk
Set crockpot on High and cook for 4 hours.
New England Clam Chowder
2 cans (6.5 oz each) chopped clams, drained (reserve juice)
3 slices bacon, chopped
2 cups diced potatoes
1 small onion, diced
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup clam juice or chicken broth
Salt, pepper, and thyme to taste
Quick tip: For extra creamy chowder, mash a few potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the clams. Enjoy! 🍲
I don’t really use the crockpot like that, I much prefer using a Dutch Oven or a Caldero but I’ll say doing a 15 Bean Soup with Smoked Turkey and Collards would be the one for me. Along with a pan of sweet potato cornbread 🥰
Beans & Rice.
Apricot Chicken is easy
Chopped chicken breast Mayonnaise Apricot preserve/jam/jelly French dip dry packet
So good. More mayo is you like creamy, more jam if you like sweet, more French onion seasoning if you like savory.
@MeltMyWay I'm on team pot roast as well. One thing im not sure I'll ever try is the Mississippi pot roast which involves a whole stick of butter.
Best baked potatoes you'll ever make or sweet potato. Just wash and put in maybe a quarter inch (more or less) of water and leave it low for 8-12 hours or high for 4-6 hours. It'll be really soft.
I should learn how to make minestrone soup on it since it's my favorite soup - that's my moniker.
Another easy one is pork chops - if you have time to marinate it for a few hours or overnight in the fridge, then that's good. If not then just simply place a pack of pork chops in the cooker and add a moderate amount of salt and pepper on each side of it and about a 1/4 cup of olive oil (I usually just pour in the seasoning and oil in the pot first, then mix the pork chops in by hand but it's all preference). When you're ready to cook you can add a 1/2 cup of water or less or beef stock and cook for high 5-6 hours. It'll come out super tender. *If you have any mushrooms or onions they'll enhance the flavor - just throw them in.
If pork shoulder is on sale, you can do the same thing except I leave it on low for 12-16 hours or until the meat has broken down and is super soft (toughness = more time).
I do a decent chili too. There's another recipe for cowboy stew which is pretty hearty (there's many different takes, but it involves beans, molasses, bacon, kielbassa sausage, and ground beef, potatoes, carrots, and various veggies).
It's funny even though I live the fast life, I use the slow cooker. 😊
Elon really enjoys . . . oh, sorry. Thought you said favorite crackpot recipes.
