We're not big bread people so it's tough to keep fresh bread in the house... but I can see us freezing some rolls.

We make this at least twice a month. Beef stew meat, chop up 2 potatoes, 2 carrots, and an onion. Throw in beef stew seasoning packet with water. Voila! 7 hours later yumminess. Baby loves it too.

I've also done some Indian dishes with beans or lentils (dry beans plus lots of water, onion, canned tomatoes, Indian spices--garam masala, cumin, etc, cook on high for 10-12 hours). </p> <p>My slow cooker has a timer and automatically goes into warm mode once the timer has finished, so I've done things that take anywhere from 6-12 hours. Very convenient! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-cooker-recipes-with-very-few-ingredients#post-87816 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:20:43 +0000 banana 87816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maisymay: Man..I feel like this slow cooker thing is going to open up a whoooole new world of food possibilities for me!

It's very simple and works for me, but there's no timer so it's a good thing I'm a SAHM otherwise I'd only be able to make meals that take 7-8 hours.

I also sprinkle some paprika and garlic on there before I pour on the salsa. </p> <p>Beef au jus is so easy and yummy. Put in a pot roast and cover with two cans of beef consomme. Then I pull it, make it into sandwiches, and dip it in the extra sauce.</p> <p>I also do an easy roast with veggies. You can put anything in there, I usually do carrots, potatoes, peas, mushrooms, etc. Then just cover it with a couple of cans of onion soup.</p> <p>Also, you can do chicken with different kinds of salad dressing over it. </p>
