Angelica, You would need to cook it longer. I think it is worth a try.
Angelica
Would this work well with chicken instead of fish?
Crockin Girls
Yay and stinkin’, Wendy! I doubt it cracked because of lack of moisture, though. We’ve made this along with others recipes w/o moisture and never had a cracked crock as a result. Call the manufacturer…sounds faulty to me!
WENDY
This tasted awesome and was so easy…downfall …my Crock Pot cracked because the lack of moisture :( So bummed!

My best girlfriend introduced me to this recipe and it is such a hit with my family. My daughter who is 16 even likes it and it is a great way to get her to eat a vegetable. We tried it with broccoli (aspagus still the fave) and found that it was undercooked. We next tried steaming the broccoli til it was about half cooked, then added it to the packets and cooked at regular time. It is trickier. I would love to see more fish recipes!!! Thanks for all the great recipe ideas.

Fat free mayo would work well for this recipe.
Jenny
Is it okay to use fat free mayo, or does it have to be the regular kind?
Jenny
I’m also curious about doing this with salmon instead of tilapia. Has anyone tried it?
Crockin Girls
I’m assuming if your hubby isn’t a fan of mayo then he’ll probably wouldn’t go for Miracle Whip? Idk, girl, I’m not a mayo fan so I use MW and I love this recipe. You could always try to sneak it in! Sorry I wasn’t much help :/ I’ll think about it…
Jennifer
Wondering if I could use something other than Mayo? My husband really dislikes it!! Thanks!
Leslie
Ever made this with salmon rather than tilapia?
Mary
Hi there, I just registered, and browsing thru the recipes. I’m anxious to try some, this looks delicious. So does the Taquito Enchilada Casserole and the S’more Cake that I watched you make on the video. So many to choose from!!! Thanks!!

Not really, Donna. First off, I don’t think you could bake your fish and asparagus together because the asparagus will need to cook quite a bit longer. You could prepare the fish in the same way (not in individual foil packets, though), put all your pieces on a foil-lined cookie sheet, and broil about 3 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes. It will work in a time crunch, but if you’re able to plan ahead a few hours it would be much easier in the slow cooker. I mean, we are the Crockin’ Girls!!!! Hope this has helped you…
Donna
Would you do this recipe the same way in the oven if you needed to cook about 8-10 pieces? What temp? How long?
Ashley
This was fabulous and is now one of my familes favorite. I use asparagus for me and add broccoli for my husband since he isnt a fan of asparagus. It always turns out great

This was a very tasty (and easy!) recipe. I should have used talapia, because I used Hake which was too fishy for me. I will be more careful about using only talapia next time. I really like the creamy sauce, and the cooking technique is brilliant. My only complaint is that I used a frozen fish filet, and my asparagus turned out too soft for my taste. I think the asparagus would have been better if my fish was thawed. Next time, if I have to use a frozen filet I will add the asparagus later so that it stays crisp.

Colleen, I think you would be able to use broccoli spears or broccolini very easily. You may be able to use fresh green beans or sugar snap peas. You would need something pretty firm like asparagus.

Going to make this tomorrow night . I have a question.. Can we use something else instead of Asparagus ? don’t like it at all UGH!!!
Crockin Girls
Hey Stacie, just saw your comment…sorry! I haven’t ever frozen the tilapia after crockin’ it, but I have wrapped it in foil, and we ate the leftovers a couple days later. Tasted great!!! Happy Crockin’!
Stacie
Does anyone know how this holds up as a leftover? Can you freeze? I’m going to make it for my hubby and me tonight, but I was just wondering if I should only make enough for us to eat tonight. Thanks!
Erin
This recipe was aboslutely delicious! The flavor was amazing. It is a nice healthy meal and much better than frying the fish up in butter.

OMG! Made this for my hubby, a while back, and it was a hit. Actually making it tonight. Haven’t tried the lemon pepper one yet, but that will be next.
