Easy Beans.

Gail here, with another crockpot recipe.

This is a healthy, cheap, and easy recipe. It's one of my personal favorites and I grew up eating this at my grandparent's home.

You need
1 - bag of large limas, small limas, any white bean of your choice.
1 - yellow or white onion, chopped or pureed
Salt and pepper

Soak the dry beans over night in a bowl of water. It helps release the gas in the beans. In the morning, rinse the beans and place in the crockpot. Place onion and cover with the beans and onion mixture with water. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low for 7-8 hours.

To give the beans more flavor you add some country ham, a piece of salt pork, or bacon. I've fixed it all three way and it has come out delicious with the all of them, but I prefer ham or bacon.

This is my actual pot of beans that I made today. YUM. I used Canadian Bacon today and it was delicious.

Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner.

My mom used to make this recipe as a child. It is one of the simplest, yet tastiest dinners. I recently found out Brooke uses the same recipe. Crockpots are so easy to use and you can cook a variety of foods, so give it a try.

CrockPot BBQ Chicken

All you need is

1 - crockpot

3-4 thawed boneless chicken breasts

1 - bottle of your favorite Barbeque Sauce

3-4 Sliced Potatoes (optional)

In the morning place chicken in crock pot and pour BBQ sauce on top of chicken. Set the crock pot on low and let it cook for 7-8 hours. The chicken comes out tender and will shred easily.


If you would like to add potatoes, put in a cup of water or so to help the potatoes cook (just make sure the BBQ sauce/water combo covers everything) and cook the same as above. 


Serve on a bun with the sides of your choice, coleslaw, chips, baked beans..
