Hello,

Are you wanting main meals for the crockpot? I will do some looking for you; it may be a couple of days before I add them. Thanks for letting me know if you are looking for something more specific.

 

Seafood Pesto Pasta

3 cups frozen chopped broccoli

1. Before turning on the slow cooker, coat it with a nonstick spray.
2. Place the broccoli in the bottom of the bowl, then cover the broccoli with frozen scallops and shrimp.
3. Pour the chicken broth and wine in the pot. Toss in the parsley, onion, and lemon. Cover and cook on low for four hours, or on high for two hours.
4. Drain the slow cooker and discard the parsley, onion, and lemon.
