Slow Cooker Pig Tails Recipes

Don't be put off by the thought of trotters! Pig's feet are simmered long and low to draw out their naturally occurring gelatin and calcium, creating a thick, rich soup that is low in fat and high in flavor and body. Add diced chicken for protein, or serve over egg noodles, potatoes, or with a thick slice of really good bread.

Note that nutrition estimates to the right include nutrition values for the pig's feet if they are eaten in the soup (Spark has done this automatically). This recipe just uses the pig's feet only to boil and to create a stock; actually eating the meat from the trotters is optional and by leaving it out the actual nutritional value may be changed accordingly.

A low-fat, lower-sodium twist on an old family favorite.

Alteration on "Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Stew"

I found a recipe online and switched it up a little. I thought a few changes would add a little something and it also made it much healthier.

This is a great recipe that can be experimented with. I thought it was good as is. You can Try adding thyme, marjoram, a bayleafor two, ect. Or, for the best and easiest, substitue a good, proven barbecue rub for beef, like Heiffer Dust, which won "Best Rub" at the American Royal a year or two back and is available commercially.

In my old neighborhood, there was an amazing takeout place where I'd get Thai curry vegetables on a pretty regular basis. I didn't think I could make it, or make it healthfully for that matter - until this morning. I played around with what I had on hand and came up with the following recipe for tonight's dinner, with plenty to freeze for later cravings.

What could be better than waking up to the fresh aroma of a hearty morning meal wafting through the house? With the aid of a slow cooker, it’s easy to give the entire family a hot breakfast, regardless of when they drag themselves out of bed.
