I usually buy chuck roast for the crock, but I trim off excess fat before cooking because I want to use the gravy with my meal. I never put veggies in with my roast. I think it takes longer to cook. I do, however, make mashed potatoes to go with it. When I'm peeling potatoes, I always peel one sweet potato to add to the white. Gives a whole new flavor to mashed taters

I picked up a couple of slow cooker cookbooks recently. One is the little book you see at most grocery or 'super' stores near the checkout. The other is by the Semi-homemade lady on the Food Network. She drives me crazy with her need to match her background, but I don't have to worry about that in a book.

I haven't started testing recipes yet, but she's got everything from apps to dessert in there and....Dylan....about half of the meats are chicken and fish. There seems to be a good chunk of roasts and I think I even saw something about steak. I'll let you all know more as I work my way through the book.

Today I got my small crock pot out and I am cooking up a batch of lentils.

Here is what I do:

First, rinse off a small package of mixed lentils, which also has split peas too, and rinse off half of a small bag of white navy beans; then put all the washed and rinsed off lentils and beans in the crock pot and cover them with about 20 ounces of miso broth and about a quart of spring water (don’t use tap water).

Add a splash or two of your favorite vinegar (I love rice vinegar), then turn the crock pot on high and wait for the contents to become bubbly hot. Then turn your crock pot down to a low temp, add two cups of dry red wine, and let it all meld together to make a juicy lentil soup.

Serve with naan bread and your favorite hummus (I love red bell Pepper hummus).


Enjoy❣️

I started two cups of orange lentils and eight cups of water on low. After I have some coffee, I’ll peel a few small potatoes, quarter them, and add them to my slow cooker. I’ll season with a few vegetarian, no chemicals added boullion cubes, garam masala, tumeric, coriander, and curry powder. When Pete gets home from work, I’ll add a can of coconut milk and a package of frozen chopped spinach.

Hi Wolfy,
This is a second day slow cooker recipe. LEFT-OVER ROAST BEEF STEW

Cook your roast like you normally do without veggies, but cook one that is big enough for two meals. When it is finished, take it out and cut up, slice, or chunk,the amount of meat you will use for your meal today. Leave the juices in the slowcooker. Go ahead and have your dinner, let the remainder of the roast, and the juices cool.

After dinner cut up the meat that has been cooling into bite-sized pieces. Chunk up a medium sized onion, at least one washed potato and one good sized carrot per person in the household (I usually do at least six myself, we love carrots) Add whatever spices you like, stir it up and let it sit in the refrigerator over night. The next day add 2 cups of water and put it on the slow cooker at the lowest temp. This will not need to cook all day. At low temp it will cook in about four hours, at high it will be done in an hour or so. It's the best tasting stew ever because all the flavors mixed up together overnight. If it needs thickening, add some instant potato flakes.

About 15 minutes before eating open a roll of biscuits (or make your own.) Place them on top of the stew. Make a ring around the outside of the crock pot. They should touch each other, and touch the outside of the pot. Put the lid on and cook for ten more minutes. Then take the lid off and cook for five more minutes. This will make some some big puffy yummy dumplings on the top of your stew. Put a dumpling or two on everyone's plate and cover with the stew.
Delish! (and easy!)
Smooches,
Keri

Today I tossed some chopped potatoes, carrots, and celery in to the crock pot. Added a bit of chicken broth and set a cornish game hen on top.

5 hours on the high setting later, we had yummy fall-off-the-bone hen, nicely flavored potatoes, and perfectly cooked carrots.

Yummers.

I think I'm going to have to just face the fear, suck it up, and get a crock pot. And only one pot to wash. That's an added bonus.
