Fix-It and Forget-It Big Cookbook: 1400 Best Slow Cooker Recipes!

So many wonderful recipes. Everyone needs this book

This cookbook sparks culinary creativity. It fixes several problems. First, the time constraints of today's busy lifestyles. Second and more importantly the meals are not all 'soupy' as one of my friends lamented about the consistency of meals coming out of slow cookers thus far. Ms. Good also gives variations to recipes that somehow frees us to confidently try our own. I gave a copy of this cookbook to an expectant mother - of twins. Now that is my seal of approval.

Good collection of recipes to use with slow cooker

If you are looking for some easy inspiration for Fall and Winter cooking ideas you can't go wrong with these recipes. OK I tried three recipes so far and they were all delicious.The lentil soup has lots of vegetables and the autumn cake turned out great and the barbecue beef sandwiches were a hit.Only thing is, I bought apple pie filling instead of apple slices in juice so had to adapt the recipe. Turned out great when I put the 2 (20-ounce) cans apple pie filling in the bottom of the slow cooker and topped it with the cake mix (I put in the eggs, water and butter and beat it with a mixer for 4 minutes). What was supposed to happen was the apples and juice were to soak into the cake mix and the butter was supposed to be on top. That did not happen due to me not reading I wasn't supposed to get the apple pie filling. Anyways, I put 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice in a Duncan Hines butter golden cake mix and that worked. So a little adapting. My husband had two helpings he loved it. Even though I think I would use unsalted butter next time!The barbecue sandwiches turned out although I'd skip adding the ketchup and coke next time because that made the whole thing soupy with the beef round slices I found. Maybe the meat had too much water in it. Next time I'd just put in some bottled barbecue sauce and be done with it. My husband ate three sandwiches however no problem! I just strained off the juices and added the barbecue sauce. Problem solved!I look forward to trying other recipes this holiday season. What I will say is that this Large book is actually quite lightweight and is rather cute for a hardcover book.Some of the other recipes you may enjoy include:Bacon Cheddar DipSweet 'n Sour Meatballs (a classic)Cheese and Ham CasseroleGingerbread with Lemon SauceTaco SoupChili con CarneCreamy Corn ChowderRoast BeefBeef BurgundyGourmet Meat LoafMushroom ChickenCountry HamScalloped PotatoesChocolate FondueFruit SoupSpiced Cranberry CiderThis has an easy-to-use extensive INDEX! There are measurement equivalents and a list of kitchen tools you want to have in your kitchen for this cookbook.The calories per serving is given at the end of each recipe and it tells you how much sodium and carbohydrates so you can choose recipes according to your own diet restrictions.Throughout the book there are cute powder-blue illustrations and the full-color photos are placed in sections throughout the book. I especially loved the photo of the caramel apples. I'm going to try making some soon with a bag of caramel I found here at amazon. I did not think of heating it up in the slow cooker but that is a very good idea!So I think you will enjoy this cookbook for years to come. There are about a gazillion recipes I want to try and I'm very happy with the hardcover book as the pages lay flat once the book is open on the counter which makes it easy to read and cook from.Happy Holidays!~The Rebecca ReviewP.S. The "Amazing Meatloaf" recipe on page 311 is well worth making. It was delicious!

Thick and heavy book with a ton of recipes you won't need another cook book with this baby i love it

This big book was part of a birthday gift, including a brand new crockery cooker! What a great gift.I do have a couple of other crock pot type recipe books, I'll be passing those on to others, this one will do the trick for me.Enjoy popping ingredients into your pot, setting the needed time and temp and come home to a delicious meal!

This book has a ton of recipes and a wide range of different recipes within each category. However as someone new to the world of crockpots I found this book overwhelming and hard to find what I needed or wanted in it. If you are looking for basic starting recipes this book isn’t for you. If you want to expand your recipe collection this book is perfect

The book was in good shape was very impressed. There is a lot of contact in it.

Loved all the recipes,good variety of them and they are affordable to make.Good advice on size of slow cooker for each recipe.Saw book used on a you tube video,glad i bought it myself and would recommend it to others.

I would not waste your money buying this book. A lot of the recipes use canned soups that are filled with additives! Maddening to pay good money for a terrible cookbook. The creator of the recipient use be really lazy and not very creative!

This is a good book to have for slow cookers there are so many recipes here according to your slow cooker sizeMind you if you are looking for photos with each recipe then this book is not for you but it’s worth the money easy to do recipes as well as those who are pros in thisBuy it you won’t be sorry

A magnificent book, with a huge selection of foolproof recipes. This book will make you a competent Cook.Signed: Zara Mayo
