I have been introduced to crockpot goodness

[lovemachine]

I have recently been introduced to the crockpot.
I love this thing. Just throw a bunch of stuff in it, few hours later supper is ready.

Today, while at home for lunch, I threw in a couple chicken breasts, covered it with extra Virgin Olive oil and pepper. And I'll have supper ready tonight when I get home.


I'm looking for other recipes to try. Anyone have any?

Brown pork chops in skillet with olive oil or butter.
Put chops in crock pot with 1 can of cream of mushroom soup.
Add just enough water so chops are covered.
Cook 6-8 hrs on low.
Server over rice.

This is pretty tasty: Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Chicken Chili | Plain Chicken

I also like to cook meatloaf in the crock pot. Make it however you like it, mold it up, plop it in, pour a little extra sauce (I use BBQ, but you could use ketchup, steak sauce, etc...) and cook on low. Time depends on how big you make it

Pork butt. A can of Dr. Pepper or root beer. Whatever spices you like, if you like to spice up your pulled pork. Some people brown the butt first, other don't. Some like to add a little brown sugar to sweeten it up a little. Whatever blows your dress up. Turn on. Go to work. Come home. Eat pulled pork.

Done.

Put dead cow in pot, add other stuff like taters and carrots and boom, dinner

2-3 pounds of venison, red potatoes, baby carrots, a few small onions and chicken broth... salt and pepper or whatever other seasonings make your day. I put in the venison and broth first (for half a day or so on low), then about 5-6 hours from when I want to eat, I'll plop in the potatoes, carrots and onions. That keeps them from turning to mush while the meat cooks through.

You can do the same thing with pretty much any meat, and it should still turn out delicious.

I 2nd pork butt with root beer. I put a dry rub on 12 hours before just to add some flavor, cover half in root beer, flip after 4 hours, and in 8hrs you have AMAZING pulled pork. I know the BBQ purists will turn their nose up, but you will never have more tender, juicy pulled pork. Just made it for my Superbowl party and it was a huge hit.

Another one;

Chicken breasts
Packet of dry ranch dressing mix
Franks buffalo wing sauce

Cook 8 hours
Shred chicken

Serve on bun topped with pepper jack cheese slice and ranch dressing.

Yummy

I use my crock pot all the time. Just search on crockpot recipes and whatever type of meat you are using and you'll get tons of ideas.

Buy the crockpot liners...plastic liners like an oven cooking bag that you put in any size crockpot (one size fits all) and cleanup is a breeze!!!

Turkey breast with the gravy packet that comes with it and a can of beer...simmer all day and it is the moistest turkey you will ever eat. The leftovers are great for sandwiches, casseroles, etc.

Just wait until someone introduces you to a pressure cooker! Same effect..in less than an hour...

My wife bought one of the Ninja crock pots. You'd think I'd be eating all kinds of crockpot meals.

Not really a fan of the crockpot anymore. It has its place, mostly throwing things in it in the morning and having a nice hot meal when you get home at night. But my wife made it the only way she know how to cook for a while. I had to make a rule of only 2 crock pot meals a week. Pork Shoulder is pretty good. slow cook it shred it up and have pulled pork sandwiches.

chuck roast
1 pack onion soup mix
1 or 2 rough chopped onion
couple cloves chopped garlic
3-4 tsp beef base (or sub same number beef boullion cubes if you must)
1/2 cup red wine
couple spoonfuls each of italian seasoning and basil

on low while you work. great shredded italian beef sandwiches.

moving parts of an animal, like beef chuck or pork shoulder do well in the crock pot. the collagen melts and keeps the meat from seeming so dry.

if you want to have your roasts taste more like they've been roasted, rather than simmered, put a bunch of potatoes, celery, and or root veggies in the bottom of the crock pot then place the roast on top. this will keep the meat from sitting in the accumulated juices for hours and stewing. trust me, it makes a big difference.
