When it's not grilling season, this is what I like to do with pork tenderloin:

1 thawed or fresh pork tenderloin
1 jar hoisin sauce
1 jar apricot preserves
1 can chicken broth

Sprinkle it with salt and pepper and put it in the crockpot with one jar of hoisin sauce (like a Chinese barbecue sauce...in the international foods aisle), a jar of apricot preserves, and a can of chicken broth. Stir it all together and leave on low for about eight hours or high for four. I serve it with rice and veggies! :D

This recipe is good for a crowd or you can use the leftover meat to make barbeque sandwiches later. This is actually my favorite thing to make and every week I check our Safeway bulletin to see if pork is going on sale.

Ultimate Pulled Pork Tacos

Take one large pork shoulder and rub it generously with salt, cumin, pepper and chopped garlic. Put it in the crock pot and pour one half of a small can of diced jalepenos(undrained) and half a small white onion over the top. For the liquid I usually use a bottle of Corona or any other light beer since the alcohol cooks out anyway and it leaves such a good flavor but if you're really opposed chicken stock would substitute just fine. (I must say that I made it for my mom's Mormon Bunco group once and they were just fine with it.) Put it on low for 8 hours. When it's done take the meat out and put it in a deep bowl. Let it rest for about 10 minutes so the liquid can set up in it, then take two forks and shred it like a maniac.

Homemade Mango salsa

Make this a day ahead of time so the flavors have time to mingle. Chop up the following and put it together in tupperware with a tight fitting lid: 2 medium tomatoes (be sure to salvage as much of the juice as you can), 1 slightly over-ripe mango, the other half of the onion, a couple cloves of garlic and a very small bunch of cilantro. Add the other half of the diced jalepenos. Season with salt and a little pepper. Put on the lid, give it a good shake and leave it in the fridge over night. This makes a good chunky salsa but if you like it more liquidy just add some water and use a potato masher on it until it's the consistancy you like. This makes about the equivalent of a small jar of salsa.

I like to buy corn tortillas and deep fry them in hot oil for 30 seconds (setting them on paper towels to soak up extra oil) because I like the crunchiness of it. Then you just need shredded cheese and lettuce to top it off.

WOW!!!!!!!!!! I made this last night, and it is beyond amazing! I used boneless, skinless chicken thigh cutlets in place of the breasts. I also used the 1/3 Less Fat Philly cream cheese, as well as the 98% fat free cream of chicken soup. I didn't add the mushrooms, and I served it over the egg noodles. My husband and I absolutely loved it! Ladies, you've got to try this one!

Not exactly a recipe, but a great site. They have other "Just" sites, too (i.e. chocolate, chicken, etc.).

This is SO SO SO YUMMY!

Put as many pork chops as you need in your crock pot. Add a bottle of Sauerkraut and a bottle of BBQ sauce. Cook until pork is falling apart. Serve with dinner rolls. Easy and very good even for those who don't particularly like Saurkraut!

You guys are my heroes! We're remodeling our kitchen and I currently have no oven, stove, or sink (or patience!). I'm getting a little tired of microwave cooking and PB&Js. I can certainly plug in my crock pot, though! I can't wait to try a couple of these recipes.

Now, if there was only a way to keep my neighbors from seeing me scrub out my crock pot with the hose in the front yard tonight..... :oops:

I make this all the time because it takes all of 2 minutes to throw in the crock pot and everyone I've served it to loves it and asks for the recipe.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (you can even throw them in frozen)
1 - 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1 C. salsa
1/4 C. water (use less, or none if your chicken is still frozen)

Cook 4-5 hours on High, or 8-10 hours on Low. Near the end of cooking stir it and it kind of shreds on its own. Serve on tortillas with lettuce; cheese; tomatoes; etc.


I tried this last night and my husband absolutely LOVED it! Thank you so much for sharing!

Yay, I finally get to try this tonight! Just threw everything in the crock pot. :)

I also bought the ingredients to try the creamy italian chicken. Thanks for the recipes, ladies. :)
