Ok ladies, I want your favorite crock pot recipes. One catch: no soups or things like that added into the mix. I want fresh, low sodium favorites.

Ok, so here is mine:
Half FROZEN Good sized "pot roast" steak, 5 medium sized rose potatoes chunked (a little bigger than bite sized), 2stalks of celery chunked, two or three fresh tomatoes medium sliced (not in eigths slices), 1/4 cup worcheshire sauce, 4 or 5 carrots chunked or a bag of baby carrots (I rather whole carrots), to taste Lawry's Garlic Salt and Pepper.
PRE HEAT the Croc Pot - lid on for 20 min. Place the half frozen meat in with the garlic salt and pepper and warcheshire sauce ... an hour later add veggies cook on high for 5ish hrs enjoy!

You can put a whole chicken in the crockpot with NO water and season however you like and let it cook on low all day (about 8 hours depending on size of chicken & crockpot model). Again, no water...It will make it's own liquid. Then you can eat some of the chicken that night and what you don't eat can be frozen for later :)

Pulled Pork

1 pork shoulder
1 small handful of Rock Salt (since you control how much salt goes in, voila total control)

optional... few drops of liquid smoke

Score the pork shoulder about 1 inch deep on all sides. Rub with rock salt (or kosher salt) on all sides. Fill halfway up with water. Cook for 8 hours on low. Drain off cooking liquid. Shred. Serve with BBQ sauce for bbq pulled pork sammies, Poi for kahlua pig (you can also wrap the pork in banana leaves to cook, but I'm allergic to banana leaves... all the asian markets round these parts one would think Ti leaves would be available, but nooooo), fried bananas and polenta for mesoamerica, Shredded cabage & pico de gallo & tortillas for mesoamerica, some masala for indian, etc. Super versatile, super yummy, shredded pork.
