I’m a big fan of using my Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker for easy weeknight meals, but they’re also fantastic for entertaining since the food stays warm and host doesn’t get stuck in the kitchen all night. For the past few years, we’ve been all about using crock pots for my Mom’s “Souper Bowl” party – she makes a bunch of different soups (kept warm in Crock-Pot Slow Cookers), fresh bread, and baked wings. It’s so easy, and everyone loves it.
I have a new Crock-Pot Recipe that I’ll be posting tomorrow, but I also thought it would be fun to do a huge roundup of healthy, real food recipes that are perfect for entertaining.

Did you choose a winner? The widget is gone.
Thanks.
Wondering if you’d picked winners yet (I really need a crockpot that works). Hoping…
I did pick, but it’s not final yet since I’m still waiting to hear back from one of them.
maybe you typed my e-mail wrong? 🙂
this is a great round up of some amazing recipes!
I love adding a can of cream of mushroom soup to some pork chops in the crock pot. So easy and SO good!

Yet again this is a remind I need to dig my slow cooker out of my pile of boxes at home and actually start to use it. Such a great round up!
Lauren,
Thanks for including my recipes in your terrific round up!
Thank you for the fantastic list!
Great round up!
My favorite thing to do with my Crock Pot is bake in it. Banana breads, apple breads, cakes, cobblers…YUM! The breads come out moist and delicious with an excellent crumb, same with cakes.
My favorite is Ham & Beans using a leftover ham bone.
