Depending on the size of your family, you can be the judge of how much you make.
Canned ranch style beans (you can use the jalapeno flavor if you want a little spice to it)
Hamburger meat
Canned diced tomatoes
Chopped onion, optional
Brown the hamburger, drain, add all ingredients together and add water to your liking. If you want thick chili, use less water. Add more water for thinner chili. Heat on low-med. until all ingredients are heated through.
We eat this with saltine crackers or cornbread. Enjoy, we do!!

Thanks for sharing your easy chili recipe with us, Tim and Amy, this would sure be a lot quicker than the chili we usually make and great for a busy night with the kids. We'll definitely try this!
Crock Pot Barbecue Chicken
Featured Comment!

This is one of my favorites. It is so easy if you have a crock pot.
Ingredients: 1 large whole chicken, 1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce.
Wash chicken thoroughly and discard any unwanted pieces from inside the chicken. Set inside crockpot (I sometimes add a very small amount of water) then add one bottle of your favorite bbq sauce.

Thanks Denise, this recipe is probably cooked on low for at least 4 hours like our barbecue pork recipe, which we also cook in the crock pot! We love pork so I've never tried it with chicken, great idea! :o)

Irish Beef Stew

This recipe is a good one for St. Patrick's Day. Sounds so good I am going to have to make it one night.
Irish Beef Stew
Serves 6
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 pounds beef stewing meat cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cups beef broth
4 Tbl Worcestershire sauce
12 oz gravy (from a jar or you can make it yourself)
1 tsp sugar
6 oz tomato paste
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 Tbl dried thyme
4 or 5 large baking potatoes (about 3 lbs), peeled and cut into large cubes
3 cups baby carrots or regular carrots peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
1 large onion cut into chunks
Water, if necessary
Parsley
Get out your large soup pot. Seven- or eight-quart size will do it. Pour in your vegetable oil and put in your meat. Brown the meat on all sides quickly over medium high heat. Stir often to toss the meat around. You're not cooking it all the way through, just lightly browning the outside. (Five to six minutes.)
Pour in the broth, Worcestershire, gravy, sugar, tomato paste, salt and thyme. Stir this all up and bring to a boil. Then turn down to medium low. Let simmer covered for 45 minutes. Stir once in awhile to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom. You'll open the pot and be amazed at how much gravy you have!
Now it's time to peel your potatoes. (If you peel them ahead, they will turn brown.) Add the potatoes, onion and carrots to your pot. Bring to a boil again. You're going to simmer 15 to 30 minutes more until the potatoes are soft but not mushy and the carrots are cooked. If the liquid is not covering everything, you can add up to 2 cups more water and stir it into the gravy. Don't worry. The sauce will thicken up again.
Chopped parsley just adds a little color at the end as a garnish. Serve in soup bowls or other big bowls with some nice bread to soak up the sauce. This is a simple, Irish meal. Don't try to make it fancy. You'll spoil the intention. Comfort food. Enjoy!

Thanks Opal, this does sound good! Similar to my pot roast that I cook in the crock pot but with a few different ingredients, particularly the gravy and tomato paste. We'll have to try this! :o)

Sausages in the Crock Pot

Farmer Sausage in a Sweet and Sour Sauce
1 Cup Ketchup
4 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
4 Tbsp. Vinegar
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbsp. HP Sauce
1/2 tsp. salt and pepper
Small onion
1 or 2 lbs. of big sausage
Easy sauce most of the things on hand in the fridge or pantry. Cook in crock pot 6 hours low. 3-4 hours high. I threw the sausage in frozen. We are having brown rice and veggies with this.
---------------------
This sounds really good Sarah, thanks for sharing your recipe with us! I have never tried anything like this in the crock pot before, will have to give it a try. Normally we either grill our sausage or cook them in a pan with onions and peppers, they are great that way too. And we just bought some sausage this week at the grocery store so this is perfect timing to try your recipe. Thanks again!!! :o)
