There are a couple easy ones I always make. Brown chicken thighs first. For the liquid, I use a mixture of pineapple juice, orange juice, soy sauce, tomato sauce and water if need be. For spices, ginger, garlic, onion powder and what ever you want. I don't have any measurements, I always just wing it and it is always a hit. You can add onions to the pot or whatever. The last time I didn't have pineapple juice, so I used apple juice. Still came out great. I usually cook it for about 8 hours or so. Take the liquid and thicken it up a bit and serve it all over rice or noodles.
I used to make pot roast all the time, but that got old, so I started making a bbq roast. Use chuck, brown it and make your own bbq sauce. Family loves it!
I actually don't use recipes too often (I really don't like to cook), so I just use whatever meat I have and whatever juices/sauces I have. Your turn, got anything easy?

Thanks! That sounds great. I will have to try that. I’m always looking for new things to throw in my pot. lol I don’t like to spend hours slaving over the stove (unless it’s a holiday) especially in the summer.
This morning before I left the house I threw in a pork roast, jar of cranberry sauce, 1/3 cup of French dressing and an onion. Turned it on low and out the door I went. Sounds disgusting I know, but it’s actually pretty good.
Every time I made a roast, it turned out like leather so I decided to try French dip. 3-4 lb rump roast, 1 can beef broth, 1 can French onion soup, 1 can of beer. Cook on low for 7 hours, toast rolls and add lots of cheese

Pulled Pork Barbeque
I frequently make this - easy and tastes great!
Delicious pork shoulder, cooked with barbecue sauce and onion, then shredded. Ingredients:
pork shoulder roast, about 4 pounds 2 medium onions, thinly sliced 1 1/2 cups water 1 bottle (16 ounces) barbecue sauce, or 2 cups homemade sauce 1 cup chopped onion Preparation:
Place half of the thinly sliced onions in bottom of slow cooker; add pork and water, along with remaining onion slices. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or 4 to 5 hours on HIGH heat setting. Drain liquid from slow cooker; chop the meat coarsely and discard excess fat. Put the pork back in the slow cooker. Add barbecue sauce and chopped onion. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours longer. Stir occasionally. Serve with warm split buns and coleslaw. Serves 8 to 10.
It's even better with Graul's Cole Slaw!

ROOT BEER PULLED PORK This is one of the easiest recipes you will ever make and it is awesome!
Buy a pork shoulder roast or a picnic cut pork roast. Rub minced garlic all over roast and place in crock pot. If using a picnic cut, place fat side up. Slice up a large vidalia onion and arrange around roast. If you have a favorite dry rub spice, shake over the roast to cover well. Pour in one can of your favorite root beer and cover the crock pot. Turn on low and let cook 8 - 10 hours. Great for getting together in the morning before you go to work and dinner will be ready when you get home.
After it has cooked the full time, remove the roast from the crock pot and place on a cookie sheet. Drain off fat and drippings but save onions. Let pork roast sit for 15 minutes because it is hot. Remove any skin or fat at this time and discard. Use tonges or your hands to shred the pork. Then add in the onions and a season with your favorite BBQ sauce. Mix together well and serve on rolls.
If you prefer Coke or Dr. Pepper you can change it up. Good luck!
Tell me how much you like it!

The only thing I would change on this recipe, since I love onions would be to add 1 more large Vidalia to the pot. (I will also purchase a bigger cut of meat than what I did). The sweetness of the Vidalia added the exact touch. I will make this again and I think I will experiment with other sodas as well. Thanks

I call this 'my husband's ex-wife's spanish chicken'...brown chicken pieces first unless using boneless. put in crock pot with a cut up medium size vidalia onion, whole jar of green olives (w/pimento) undrained, one bottle of decent (not light) beer, one can of diced tomatoes with green chilis (rotel or similar), and season with salt, pepper, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. serve over rice after chicken is real tender and falls apart. yummy. recipe lends itself well to changes/updating. add more liquid if needed.
