Guest Post by Jill of Blessed Beyond a Doubt
Being a homeschool mom of 6 blessings, time management is crucial! One of the ways I have managed to put healthy meals on my dinner table each evening for my large family is by utilizing my crock pot several times a week.
I LOVE my crock pot!
We are best friends!
Top 10 Reasons You Should Use Your Crock Pot
- You can start your meal at your convenience – I usually turn mine on right before lunch.
- It is economical – it cost less than heating an oven and doesn’t warm your house up.
- It’s super EASY – just layer your ingredients(my children often prepare our crock pot meals)
- It’s a no brainer to operate – just turn the knob
- It’s a healthy alternative to fried foods.
- Meal stays warm – once fully cooked, turn knob to warm.
- It makes a lot – you can freeze the left overs and reheat in crock pot.
- EASY clean up – even easier if you use a removable crock pot liner.
- You can buy a less expensive cut of meat – the meat is tender due to the slow cooking method.
- It makes your house smell wonderful – I love coming home and smelling our supper.
Here are a few of our favorite easy crock meals that we enjoy after Sunday worship. I just put the ingredients in the crock pot before we leave for church and it’s always ready when we get home.
Using my crock pot has really been a blessing for me over the years. It makes my busy life manageable. I love trying new easy crock pot recipes and sharing them with others on my blog, Blessed Beyond a Doubt.
What’s your favorite meal to cook in your crock pot?

I too love my crock pot! One of my favorite recipes for it is for beef roast. It’s not the most healthy thing in the world but it is really good. One of my daughters named it “friendship roast,” because I would make it whenever we would have friends over and they would all ask for the recipe. It’s super easy! 3-4 lbs beef roast… 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup… 3 cans water…2 bags of lipton onion beefy soup mix (you can also use regular. Both kinds are great) … and 6 russet potatoes cut 2inches.
1. Mix water, crm mush. sp and lipton onion sp mix together. 2. Place peeled & cut potatoes in slow cooker 3. Put roast on top 4. Pour soup mixture over 5. Cook on high for 6 hrs (or longer if you like… the roast will only get more and more tender) or on low for 8-10 hrs. It’s super yummy and tastes like you worked really hard to cook it! http://happyhomemakingwithkristy.blogspot.com/2010/11/this-slow-cooker-roast-is-hit-everytime.html

I just used my crockpot for the first time in months yesterday. I kept thinking to myself, “Why do I not do this more often, it is so easy and takes so much stress off of the meal?” I am really excited now to use my crockpot more often and I can’t wait to try out some of your recipes! Thank you!
