Slow Cooker Recipes - - - Let's share
While I was thinking about slow cookers and cold weather, I thought I'd get this started. See if anyone has anything to share. With winter here, some of us tend to get lazy and look for simple ways to cook. Whether it be a roast, country ribs or soup. If you can make it in a slow cooker please share here.
I'll be back with a couple as soon as I gather up the recipes.

I have an easy fix for any kind of roast you put in a slow cooker.
1) 3 pound or larger roast (beef or pork) 1) can cream of mushroom soup 1) package dry onion soup mix Put the can of mushroom soup in the bottom of the cooker. Set the roast in a nd pour half can of water over the top. Add the onion soup mix to the top like a rub. Cover, cook on high 2 hours and then turn down to low until you think it's done. I usually use a 3 or 4 pound roast and cook it on low for 6 hours. The mixture of the soups will make a gravy.

I only do two things with mine:
1~ throw in a boston butt ~ salt and pepper a little ~ cover in bbq sauce Cook on low about 8 hours and shred for sandwiches. or 2~ throw in a pack of lil smoked sausages ~ cover in bbq sauce (or u can use a bottle of ketchup and jar of grape jelly in place of the bbq sauce) Cook 4 hours. Eat. I'm a kinda lazy cook. It's a good thing Lee is the cook in my house, she keeps me balanced. ..lol |

It's amazing how many things you can cook with a slow cooker. We got a new one for Christmas last year and it came with 3 different size crocks. A 2, 4 and 6 quart. Makes it very versatile.

Side note to Dylan most new crocks have timers and a overheat shut off, my new one does.

Ooo freaky. I just brought the crockpot up from the basement this morning! There's a pot roast cooking in it right now, similar to the one above.
I had a little-over-3-pound chuck roast, rubbed it with flour, salt, pepper, and minced garlic, then seared it in olive oil. ***Note: next time use garlic powder so as not to smoke up the whole house.*** :-P Anyway, in the crockpot I mixed one can of cream of mushroom soup, half a packet of dry vegetable soup mix (we didn't have onion,) and half a can of beef broth, then put the roast on top of that and spooned the gravy over it. After a couple hours on high, I added potatoes, onions, and carrots, as well as parsley, salt, and pepper. It'll probably be another 2-3 hours after that, but I'll keep an eye on it anyway. I'll report after dinner! |

Cooking class
Okay..as the non-cook of this group, I do own a crock pot. As da friend WolfyOne knows I do not cook....so, I must share a bachelor story.
I was told by a femme with great intentions that crock pot cooking is easy...I could put stuff in before going to work and come home to a wonderful meal. I bought a crock pot during football season several years ago. I personally have used it ONCE.. On a Sunday during football, I I put a corned beef brisket in the thing. I looked in on it and saw boiling blood.. *** and ..well, it has been in the way back of the cupboard ever since... I can say that the above are making me want to reach in and give it one more try. |

Yummy :)
This recipe is very very easy and yummy. I like to make homemade mashed potatoes to eat with it. And homemade mashies are very easy to make.
Ingredients: Two bags shredded cabbage (The kind for coleslaw) One sweet onion One apple (I use gala) Pound of center cut bacon (Less grease) Cup of kosher grape wine (Jewish cough syrup LOL) Package of smoked sausage or kielbasa Cut bacon into bite size pieces. Chop up onion. Core and cut apple into bite size pieces. In a large dutch oven sautee bacon untill brown but not burnt or it will ruin the bacon drippings which you will need. Remove the bacon and put the onion into the bacon grease thats in the pan. Cook onion for a few minutes till the onions are translucent. Throw in the two bags of cabbage and the cut up apple with the onions and mix and sautee for ten minutes. Remove from the pain and put it into the crock pot. Add the cooked bacon and mix well. Add the wine (Cooking boils out the alcohol) and stir. Cook on high for an hour and then turn down to low for 8 hours. An hour before its finished, cut up the kielbasa into 2-3 inch pieces and put it into the crockpot on top of the cabbage mixture. This really is a very easy recipe and is oh so delicious. If you are a vegetarian you can adapt the recipe to be meatless. |

Ok, I'm going to sound like a freak, but eh...
When I was 15, our house burned down. So, now I'm kind of afraid to leave stuff just cooking in my house while I'm not there. Are crock pots safe? What if you don't put enough water/liquid in? Will it get too hot and catch the house on fire? Do they shut themselves off if they get too hot or something? I mean, I would hate it if a pot roast burned my house down.

I've never had a cooker run out of liquid. I really don't know how hot they get, but I've never had one catch fire. I don't even know if they have a shut off if they get too hot. I usually use mine on weekends when I'm home doing other chores and am too lazy to cook. You know like football season. I'm hoping someone else will come and post and be able to set you at ease.....I know, I know, I'm a bad friend without answers.

I still use my crock pot when I'm home, but when I'm not, I use my thermal cookers - they are like really big, really effective thermoses (what's the plural? I don't know) and still work on the slow cooking principle but they aren't plugged in, they just cook the food with retained heat, which is wonderfully environmentally friendly and energy effiicent. I loved it so much I started a livejournal community about it. It's mostly deaded, but there's some good introductory info there if you're interested in the concept. http://community.livejournal.com/thermal_cooking/ |

Ok since you all love pot roast I have a fancy version that will send you into next week.
You can use a whole roast or if you really want to get fancy take a half a tenderloin of beef or venison tenderloin. I use coconut oil to sear because I can get the pan really hot without the oil burning but you can also use sesame. In fact toasted sesame oil only adds to the flavor. Sear your meat. Add your meat into the crock. Next to the meat add fresh cloves of garlic. Then onions. I like whole cippolini's. Then potatoes and carrots. Next add a few cups of beef stock and a 1/2 cup of a heavy red wine. Add salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme. Believe it or not I even add a shake of Cinnamon. Let this simmer for overnight or at least 6 hours. Then make a rue. http://www.ehow.com/how_5310470_make-rue.html This is important, dip out a large amount of broth from your crock. Blend in the rue and then pour over everything. Now let it cook another 3 hours. OMG- to die for.The carrots and potatoes will be ultra soft, even mushy but its all good. The combination of wine, herbs and rue, just right, turn this into a very hearty, thick stew that will leave your mouth watering inbetween each bite.
