Already starting to brainstorm recipe ideas? Great! Just a few things to keep in mind before you hit submit:
- We don’t care about Paula Deen or Rachael Ray’s specialties; we want your killer recipes! Originals only, please.
- You have many amazing recipes, we know. But please, limit your submissions to five per day. (That’s still 80 recipes total, folks!)
- Please, pretty please, include standard US measurements and a complete list of ingredients. Since our judges will be testing these, any recipes that are incomplete will be taken out of the running.
- If you’ve won a contest with your recipe, or currently have it entered in one, don’t submit it!
Good luck, and happy slow cooking!

Easy Crock pot sweet potato soup
Ingredients:
3 cups lentils (either canned or soaked overnight)
3 cups cubed sweet potatoes
4 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
3 tbsp agave
3 tbsp orange juice
2 tsp parsley
olive oil
salt
First, sweat the onion, celery, and carrots in a pan on high heat, with a little olive oil. Let it simmer until the onions are clear (or longer if your little ones are averse to vegetable textures). When they look done, add the sweet potatoes and a splash of the chicken stock, and cook for another 10 minutes.
Add the mixture, and all the other ingredients, to your crockpot. Cook on high for 3 hours, or until sweet potatoes are tender.

Sir:
SLOW cooked Fresh Pork Shoulder/Arm Butt.
First Make Home Made Garlic butter, by using Soft Margine and Garlic clovers Blended in a Food Blender. I make several tubs using "I can't believe it is not butter" at one time for easy of use.
Next make a rub blend of: Oregano, rosemary, Thyme, basal, Sage, black pepper. I normally use a One to One mixture of all spices; Make a big bag for use.
Next in a separate Bowl I Mix the Garlic Butter with the spices to make a rub/paste.
I next take the Shoulder with skin and make extended cuts under the skin and Spread sea salt over the Shoulder and then Stuff the Paste mixture to fill up the voids. I cut thick slices of Potato and Carrots to sit the Roast on. I add a little stock / water stock cube. I also rub all other surfaces with Salt and Paste mixture and place Skin side up.
I cook very Slowly for 6 to 12 hours. This procedure also works great in the OVEN and again is cooked in at 200F or below for 6 to 12 hours. The Goal is to have the Meat fall off the BONE. The Potatoes and Carrots cook themselves and are flavored with both Pork & Spices to provide a Meal in one pot.
Do not worry if you cut the meat and place the spices in the muscle; I have done this may times and it just addes deeper flavor to the Meat.
If you want make it spicy you can add crushed Red Pepper to the Paste.
