slow cooker meals (kid friendly) for all day outings

[dfv87]

I need some slow cooker meals that my kids will actually eat on an all day fishing trip or day at the camper... Something "set it and forget it" types... what do you all do for this?

This is one of my favorites from a thread a few years back. You can adjust the peppers and onions to suit your tastes, and I'm sure sausage or bacon would taste great in it too. Never would have thought about making breakfast in a crock pot, but it's perfect large groups. It stays moist and as long as you keep the lid on, you can turn the crock pot off an it stays warm for a long time, so people can eat as they get up. Nothing beats waking up to the smell of breakfast already cooked:

This is a breakfast one thats been a big hit in our family,

1 bag of frozen hash browns

lb ham (cooked)

1 Medium onion

1 medium red pepper

1 1/2 to 2 cups of coly-jack

12 eggs

1/2 to 1 cup of milk

salt and pepper

1. spray a little pam in crock pot

2. Put a layer of hashbrowns on bottom

3. Add a layer of ham,onion,pepper cheese in order

4. Repeat layers, ending with a layer of cheese.

5. Beat eggs, milk,salt and pepper together

6. Pour over the layers, cover and turn on low

8. Cook for 8-10 hours(over night and you wake up its ready)

You can add other thing too

Can't go wrong with a good chicken or other soups cooking all day or a BBQ pulled beef, pork or BBQ meat balls for kids!

We do a lot of venny stews but not all the kids like it. The other thing we love but for sure a lot of kids don't like it, is a rack of ribs rolled in the pot, potatoes in the bottom and then fill the middle of the ribs with sauerkraut. Oh lord that it some good stuff after a long cold day out in the boat or field! The ribs just fall off the bone and the tators have a very good tang to them!

Super easy - Chicken breasts and Italian dressing. Makes a shredded chicken that goes great on a bun or toast. My kids love it.

My grandkids love pot roast.

Any kind of roast with potatoes and carrots etc. is great. I think if you search online there are some easy crockpot stew recipes to.

[leechlake]

I'd go with some sort of pasta with meat sauce, meatballs, or italian sausage. Not many kids won't eat something along those lines.

Do a sloppy joe bar, kids love it....use toppings like chips, cheetos, fritos, doritos, pickles, cheese, coleslaw....maybe pepper ring, onions.

Great idea with the sloppy Joe bar! I also like doing potroast till it is fall apart tender then make sammies out of it with a slice of swiss on top.
