There are several cookbooks out there that focus on crockpot-only cooking. I've actually been eyeing one lately that is solely dealing with gluten-free diets:

It's on sale right now and it'll help you out a lot. Good luck!

Yeah, I actually got a lot of this week and next week's dinner ideas from her website. It's fantastic. Now if I can just remember to take the things out for the crockpot.

I am going to give the crockpot sloppy joes a try tomorrow with some GF bread made into buns.

Crockpot Mac and Cheese

8 oz. macaroni, cooked and drained
1 stick margarine, melted
1 can evaporated milk
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all this in crockpot, top with 1 cup shredded cheese. Cook on low for three hours. Do NOT remove lid during cooking!

I love beef roast/stew meat/cut up strips of steak(and venison too) in the crockpot with cream of mushroom soup. I serve with mashed potatoes! Tomorrow is the first day of school and this is what ds requested for dinner LOL.

I also cook dried beans in the crockpot. I put in pintos and cover with water, add salt and some raw bacon or ham lunchmeat and cook all day!

BBQ Pork

1 pork butt (or shoulder) roast I prefer boneless
1 pkg. lipton onion soup mix
1 cup water

cook for about 6-8 hours

Remove roast and shred the meat, you can serve this way or throw some in a saucepan with some bbq sauce and just warm the sauce through. I cook seperately because I find that the BBQ sauce scorches in the CP even on low and some in my house like it w/o the BBQ sauce. Either way is fantastic on baked potatoes, I like to serve the BBQ version on rolls that I make using a challah bread recipe.

I just did this for tonights' dinner, Some boneless pork ribs jar bbq sauce sliced onion and 3 TBSP's Honey. I let it cook all day on low and serve on hamburger buns for the guys and for me i'll serve it over a baked potato.
