Slow Cooker Recipes

Just came across this PDF file of slow cooker recipes that includes the Weight Watchers point values for each one. Good thing for some of us.

Low Fat, Low Cal Crockpot Recipes

I can't vouch for any of the recipes yet but I'll be trying some of them soon.

WOW! Thanks for the link!
I think I may have to invest in a smaller crock pot. I have a huge one which is fine for many people/parties, but for just the two of us, it would be better to have a smaller one.

We have two crockpots, a 1.5 qt and a 6 qt. The small one is just right for the two of us or for things the Ranger doesn't like (he's not big on beans). The big one is for gatherings or mass cooking for the freezer or things he really likes (meatballs in tomato sauce).

I wanted beef stew the other day but didn't have any beef chunks. What I did have was a bag of mini-meatballs like you'd use for appetizers. In the little crockpot they went with potatoes & carrots, a jar of fat free beef gravy, half a packet of onion soup mix, and 1/2c of meat juice & drippings from a meatloaf that I'd put in the freezer. It was yummy for lunch yesterday and looks like that's on the menu for today too.

I'm certainly going to have to try some of these tasty-sounding recipes.

Although I might have to downgrade my crockpot.  I have a big one, and there's only so many leftover you can eat in a week.

The pdf file is wonderful, but it is a bit like a church or community cookbook.  Not consistent with measurements, etc.   There are several I am going to try, one of which attracted me because it said there were only 173 calories per serving (it was one of the chicken dishes) - but when I tried to figure out a serving size, it didn't tell you how many people the dish was supposed t serve.  But it still looked like a good dish, so I will try it out anyway. 

If anyone uses any of the recipes will you post your findings?

One of my favorite recipes is beer bratwurst.  You just brown the brats in a skillet & then put them in the crockpot, pour a bottle of German beer over them & let them cook all day.  I usually make 2pkgs so 10 brats because the leftovers are even better. 
I love my crockpot.  I use it probably 2-3 times/week.  I leave the house at 6:30 & there are days I don't get home until after 7.  Having dinner mostly prepared when I walk in the door is awesome.  I even cooked a small turkey in our crockpot about a month ago.  It turned out quite yummy & delicious.  BTW, I have 3 crockpots:  A round one, an oval one & a little dipper.  Of the 3 I use the round one the most.
