Brown up a pot roast (you can add onions,garlic,bell peppers etc if wanted) then cut up and throw in the crock pot with 3/4 cup salsa. Cook on low 10-12 hours or on high for 5-6. Shred the meat and you have some tasty tasty tacos. I throw mine on some low carb tortillas( I suggest mission low carb wheat tortillas) with onions and cilantro and some wedges of lime and salsa and cream to top it off.
Here is another idea for pot roast - put in a browned pot roast with 1 family size can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 packet of lipton onion soup mix and cook 10-12 hours on low.
Now I will just have to start trying recipes with other meats and things,huh?

I was fortunate enough several years ago to get a low carb roast recipe for the crockpot and it is ohhhh soooo easy!!! Put your roast in the crockpot, add one envelope of onion soup mix and one can of diet coke. Cook on low for 6-8hrs depending on how well done you like your roast. I didn't add any veggies to the roast itself but I fixed some steamed veggies on the side. It was out of this world!!!!!!!!!!

Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken _ I got this recipe from spark recipes.com
4 (1 lb) chicken breast
1 envelope reduced sodium taco seasoning
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup of salsa*
1/4-1/2 cup water*
1/2 cup sour cream
place the chicken in the bottom of the crock pot. In a separate bowl mix the taco seasoning, soup, salsa and water. Pour over the chicken and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
When its done mix in the sour cream and serve over rice or veggies.
*I dont use the sour cream, but my friend did and she liked it.
*Get mild salsa because sitting in the crock pot for that long really makes it spicy.
*The recipe doesnt originally contain water, but I added it because the sauce would burn.

1. Combine all ingredients in slow cooker.
2. Cover. Cook on low 6-8 hours or on high 4-6 hours.
*DH and I use 2 whole jalapenos unseeded, but this makes a SPICY soup.
**I cut up and fry corn tortillas for DH and sometimes crush baked tortilla chips into the soup for me (only for Ph2). You can add shredded low-fat cheddar cheese for more flavor if you'd like.

Stuffed Bell Peppers in Crockpot - All Phases
4 large to medium green peppers, tops removed, cored and seeded
1lb ground turkey
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cloves of garlic
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 cup of your favorite No Sugar Added Pasta Sauce
1 Cut a small hole in bottom of each pepper
2. Combine turkey eggs garlic parmesan cheese parsley salt and pepper in a bowl. spoon mixture into peppers do not pack down
3. Stand peppers upright in the slow cooker stoneware. Spoon tomato sauce over each of the peppers.
4. Cover and cook on Low 4-5hrs or until peppers are tender and meat thermometer reads 170 degrees
4 Servings
Slow-Cooker Cassoulet
4-8 skinless chicken thighs (or use 4-6 b/l, s/l chicken breasts - I used thighs as DH doesn't like white meat)
1 small leek, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 (15 oz) cans white kidney (Great Northern) beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 lb smoked meat (I used smoked lean beef bacon, microwaved and blotted with paper towels and snipped into bite-size pieces; smoked ham or other lean pork would work, too)
1/4 cup dry white wine (I used Pinot Grigio)
In a 5 qt slow cooker, combine chicken, leek, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Add beans and smoked meat and pour wine over all. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours (or longer if needed - I cooked on High for about 5 hours, approximately) or until chicken is tender.
This made 4 generous servings, although I would think you could get 5 or 6 servings for people with smaller appetites than my family has!
Slow-Cooker Tuscan Beef Stew from Campbell's Kitchen
Prep Time: 5 min. - Cook Time: About 9 hr.
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell's Tomato Soup
1 can Campbell's Condensed Beef Broth
1/2 cup red wine OR water
2 lb. beef for stew, cut into 1" pieces
1 can (14 1/2 oz.) diced Italian-style tomatoes
3 large carrots, cut into 1" pieces
1 tsp. Italian seasoning, crushed
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 cans (about 16 oz. each ) white kidney beans (cannellini), rinsed and drained
Directions: MIX soup, broth, wine, beef, tomatoes, carrots, Italian seasoning and garlic powder in 3-1/2 qt. slow cooker. COVER and cook on LOW 8 to 9 hr.* STIR in beans. Turn heat to HIGH
and cook 10 min. Serves 6-8. * Or on HIGH 4 to 5 hr. Serve with egg noodles and a mixed green salad.
Turkey Breast Cacciatore
1 4-5 lb turkey breast (or whatever size will fit into your crockpot)
1 large red bell pepper, sliced
1 large green bell pepper, sliced
1 large onion sliced
8 oz sliced mushrooms (or more, if you really like mushrooms)
4-5 large cloves garlic, just smashed (not finely choppped)
2 C of your favorite tomato- based sauce (Classico makes a Spicy red pepper sauce with no added sugar, which is yummy and a staply in my pantry)
1/2 C either SBD friendly chicken broth or dry red wine
1 -2 TB dried italian herb mix or a mix of 1 t each dried oregano, basil and 1/2 each rosemary and parsley, or any combination of dried herbs you prefer.
generous pinch of dried pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
I chose to leave the skin on the turkey breast, as that was the only source of fat - however, removing the skin and rubbing the breast with some EVOO would be just as good.
Layer the bottom of the crockpot with the peppers, onions, mushrooms and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and half the herb mix, toss to coat. Wash and dry the turkey breast and season with the remaining herb mix and generously with salt and pepper. Place the turkey over the vegetables in the crockpot and pour the tomato sauce and wine over all. Cook on low for about 9 hours. Remove the breast from the crockpot, remove the skin and bones (be careful, as the bones will almost disintegrate when cooked, so you may find pieces in the liquid). Shred or chunk and add back to the liquid. Serve in a shallow bowl with a generous heap of the vegetables on the bottom, and some grated parmesean on top. Yummy. Phase II can add some whole wheat pasta (but you knew that, huh!).

If you want a really neat cookbook for crockpots, get "Fix it and Forget it" Diabetic Cookbook by Phyllis Pellman Good. I got mine at walmart, but you can find online at barnes/noble, amazon, etc. It's geared for diabetics, but there are ALOT of recipes that stay under the 30g listing for meals. I've cooked a couple of them now, and they're great!
OMG!! I'm getting so hungry reading all of these. I'm definitely going to try ALL of them! Thanks! I LOVE to cook. I'm going to have to find a great recipe to put on here
Wow, these look awesome! So many great ideas-- Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to try making the Mediterreanean Chicken Stew tonight because I already have most of the ingredients sitting here in my fridge.
Reginia-- thanks for the tip on the cookbook. I'm going to order it off amazon today. : )
