Crock Pot Recipes?

[JayFramer]

Gang, I finally bought my first crock pot. It holds 4 quarts.

I am not so handy at cooking, so am looking for tasty recipes. Anyone have any favorites that your or your wife/husband makes?

Thanks!

Jay

I don't know if you hunt or not but we make venison stroganoff. My wife throws in a package of venison stew meat in the morning frozen with a couple cans of cream of mushroom soup and salt and pepper with the crock pot on low. At dinner time we cook up some noodles and mix it together. delicious.

I like to use mine for a pork or beef roast. I peel some carrots put them in the bottom then add some baby red potatoes then add the roast then put a can of cream of mushroom soup then add a packet of dry onion soup on top lastly I put in a box of beef broth. Let it cook on low for the day it will be fall apart tender.

Get a nice pork roast mince a small to medium onion a cup of broth either chicken or beef (bullion will do). Cook about 6 hours on low. Let cool drain excess grease and fat and bone if present. Shred it with you fingers and add your favorite BBQ sauce. I use Sweet Baby Rays Hickory. Some fresh crusty buns and you are set for a couple days.

Instead of listing all of my soups, stews, pulled pork, etc., here, you can get a LOT at Allrecipes | Food, friends, and recipe inspiration.
In the search section put slow cooker (and whatever meat or area you want like soup)
You can read the reviews and have more recipes than you can make in a lifetime.

The main thing to remember is that a slow cooker is a wet cooking method - there MUST be some form of liquid - whether it is fat melting from a pork shoulder or the use of some stock or the moisture from veggies like onions and mushrooms, etc.

Crock pots seem to be the appliance most often seen for sale at garage sales.

Lots of folks have them and never use them.

Spending over $5.00 on one seems unnecessary.

1. Cook a tri-tip or round roast at low for several hours. For BBQ beef, use your favorite BBQ sauce (Home-made is better than bottled!). For machaca or shredded beef for Hispanic food, use your favorite salsa (again, a home-made is better than bottled, some onions and maybe a few sliced peppers of your choice. Cook several hours, cool and shred. Save the "juice". Makes taquitos, enchiladas, tacos, etc. For chile verde, use a pork roast or tenderloin, and a green enchilada sauce. Add onions and peppers. Use a red sauce, cook overnight and shred for carnitas.
2. We buy several corned beef briskets the day after St Paddy's Day and freeze them. Take one, cook on low with a can of chicken broth. Cool and slice or shred. One brisket will get us corned beef sandwiches, Reubens and a night of hash (3 meals for 2).
3. Almost forgot, cook pork in with a BBQ sauce for pulled pork.

I suppose you could make shredded chicken much the same way as above.

I love mine. Mostly roasts and stews. I even have a small one that goes on road jobs with me. Toss in some spuds, an onion, some carrots and a small roast. Turn it on low right before you leave for work and 12 hrs later you have a tasty, hot meal when you get back. Then sandwich meat for lunches.

package of cubed beef (stew meat) from the grocer with 1" of water.Dice an onion,a few carrots and a few celery stalks and add em.Set it for 4 hours.At 3 hrs add a glass of red wine and some salt and pepper.When it's done make some mashed potatoes.Pour the liquid from the crock pot into a pot on low to medium heat.Take about a cup of the liquid and add either flour or cornmeal to thicken it and add it back to the pot.If it isn't thick enough,do it again.Simmer until you have a nice gravy.
Nothing as good as beef stew with taters and gravy on a winter day!

Edit: If you brown the meat first and use beef broth instead of water,it's even better!

 

[robvious]

we will put a venison roast under a corned beef brisket with the pickling spice packet and add beef broth and root beer... the fat and lean combination works out great and we enjoy the deerbens and hash..
wife also does an Indian tandoori or tikka masala turkey breast... just a jar of sauce from the grocery store with some Greek yogurt but worth a try if you like Indian food...

The biggest mistake I see with crockpots is the belief that food can be left in all day. Yes, you can indeed overcook food in a crockpot.

Well: When we do a 5lb or so pork roast it goes in overnight on low(there are all kinds of recipes on the net). When we take it out the next day the meat is juicy and falling apart. Nothing other than a fork is required to eat it. We love our crock pot and use it all the time since pork roasts are generally 99 cents a lb or even cheaper here.

Ranch Pork Chops

Spray or oil crockpot.
Place enough yukon gold potatoes in crockpot to cover bottom. Halve or quarter large potatoes.
Brown 4-6 thick-cut boneless chops. Place in crockpot on top of potatoes.

Mix together:
1 pkg cream cheese
1 can Cream of Chicken soup (cream of mushroom also works well)
1 envelope Ranch Dressing mix

Pour over top of pork chops in crockpot.
Cook approximately 5 hrs on high or 7 on low, until meat thermometer indicates pork chops are done.

If I use cream of mushroom soup I also like to pile some sliced fresh mushrooms on top of the chops in the crockpot - or just stir them in the cream cheese mixture.
This recipe can also be used with a pork roast instead of chops.
Or, with boneless skinless chicken breasts and noodles instead of potatoes.

I have two and use them often. The last meal was a pre-seasoned porkloin.

Placed the pork in the pot and then added golden delicious apple slices.

The apples were prepared by peeling and cutting into wedges.

Margarine, brown sugar and cinnamon were combined and then the apple wedges were coated with the mixture.

Place the Pork on the bottom and apples on top for two to three hours on high. Time depends on the size of the loin. Talk about apple flavored pork. Yum!

Beef stew and boiled whole chickens also are great. A whole chicken with broth,carrots,onions and celery cooked slow for six or high for about three hours comes out of the pot just falling apart.

On poultry and broths you may need no additional salt as broths are high sodium and the poultry has some brine included.

Place meatballs in a crock pot and top with grape jelly mixture.
Cook on Low for 3 to 4 hours.

You can use the same sauce with cocktail weenies or sliced kielbasa. Makes a good side or appetizer.
