I have to admit that my crockpot is my best friend. I wish I could get myself more organized to use it everyday. My life seems so much simpler when I use it. The dog days of summer are here in Virginia and it is not even summer yet!! School is not even out yet, they have a full week left of school which means exams, concerts, and awards assemblies. I feel like I have been running the roads every evening for something school related. I think I will be just as excited when school lets out as my son.
This chicken recipe is so easy and is a family favorite. This is very versatile to make with any cut of chicken. If you like thighs better, than use them instead! Chicken breasts to me seem to dry out in the crockpot, so I am not a huge fan of just using breast meat, but that is what I had on hand. I shredded the leftovers up and had a barbecue chicken sandwich for dinner the next night.
Place the desired chicken pieces in the crockpot. Season with salt, pepper, or any seasonings you prefer and a little onion if you like. Pour a bottle of barbecue sauce over the chicken. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 4 hours. I have a tendency to forget to defrost so these were completely frozen when I put them in.
My best piece of advice to give you is to spray the crockpot with non stick cooking spray or use a slow cooker liner before placing the food in. Makes clean up so much easier. Also, fill your crockpot at least 3/4 full so that it cooks properly. Otherwise you will overcook your meat. I really hope you get to try this soon.

Larks Country Heart Made it on Monday
This recipe came to me one evening when I only had a little pork barbecue left and not enough to feed everyone. I had the rest of the ingredients on hand and I whipped it up. This is so simple to throw together and so yummy. On Saturday evening I decided to make this for my parents and my sister since they had not had this before and I had leftovers. They all really enjoyed it. I used the recipe for my Crockpot Pork Barbecue , purchased two ready made pizza crusts, and mozzarella cheese.
Place the pizza crusts onto your pans, spoon about 2 tablespoons of your barbecue sauce and spread all over the crust. Be careful not to use to much, this really does not need a lot of sauce. Sprinkle the leftover pork barbecue onto the crust, you really do not need alot for this. Spread mozzarella cheese and bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until cheese has melted. This really is good, the first time I made this I also made a frozen pepperoni pizza for the kids, everyone ate the barbecue pizza. Now that to me means this is a keeper! I really hope you get to try my Crockpot Pork Barbecue and try this pizza with some of the leftovers.
