kay, so I don't share this recipe with JUST anyone but I love you guys and I KNOW you guys appreciate GOOD EATS. So I am giving you my Mom's Pulled Pork recipe for the Crockpot...and it WILL NOT disappoint! Rosemarie's Good Eats Pulled Pork Ingredie...

I was dying for pulled pork and I remembered you posted this recipe. I'll let you know how it turns out later this week!

Finally made the pork! I don't think Danny stopped to breath while eating it. Thanks for the great recipe Stephy!

Yay!!! I am so glad I gave out deliciousness!

Bumping because I am making a huge, beautiful corned beef that's already marinated in delicious juices and spices in my crock pot, with onion, carrots, and potatoes. I'm gonna cook it on low for 5 hours, and add cabbage to the pot in the last hour.

My mouth is already watering. Early St. Patty's day dinner! Kevin's working on the 17th and won't get home until 8 or so, and I'll be too busy drinking to eat.

I just made potato and leek soup in mine! I sort of went to the bar after work instead of going home to turn it off, so it cooked for like 12 hours, but since it was going in the blender afterwards anyway, no harm was done, and it's creamy and delicious.

Bump for the fall-winter season!

Today I made the best/east pot roast!

1 4-5lb chuck roast
2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 packet of onion soup mix
2 cups of water.

Dump it all in the crock. Cook for 4 hours or high or 8 on low. The sauce is seriously MAGICAL.

Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore

1-2 15 oz cans of Hunt's tomato sauce (depending on how saucy you are)
4 skinless bone-in chicken breasts
1 red pepper sliced long
1 green pepper sliced long
1 large yellow onion sliced long or quartered
1 pkg of pre-sliced mushrooms
4 gloves of garlic minced
2 tsps of parsely flakes
salt and peper to taste

Throw it all in the crockpot together (make sure to nestle those chicken breasts in the sauce) and let it cook 6-8 hours on low.

I've been making a slow cooker meal basically every Tuesday, since I always have the day off and I want to treat my baby. I'm pretty new (and clueless) in the kitchen so I stick to recipes for the most part, and thus far I've made a shepherd's pie, a lasagna, a beef-and-onions-and-apple-juice amazing thing, and some chicken dish I already forget. They've all been good (although my own error screwed up the shepherd's pie) but my favorite was probably the beef dish:

2 to 3 lbs. round steak, cut in cubes or serving-size pieces
2 to 3 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. flour
2 med. onions, quartered & sliced about 1/4"
1 1/2 c. apple juice
1/2 to 1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. ginger
1 Tbs. vinegar

Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Toss meat with flour and brown over medium heat; transfer to the slow cooker/Crock Pot. Add sliced onions to the hot pan. Brown onions quickly, stirring to loosen browned bits. Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl or 2-cup measure, stir, then add to onion mixture. Turn the heat to medium--high and boil for about 2 minutes, stirring, until mixture is reduced and thickened somewhat. Pour over the round steak. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours. Serve with buttered noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Serves 6 to 8.


Tonight I'm making a pork chop dish I found online with soy sauce and garlic and ginger. Really been craving some really tender pork lately (HEH). If it turns out non-toxic I'll share the recipe (or you can do what I do and google "Slow Cooker Pork Chop" it's not like I'm Gordon Ramsey over here or anything).

I made this recipe out of crap I was craving it was SO GOOD. I winged it completely and LOVED the outcome. We served it with some Honey Butter Biscuits.


Add all this to the crock first on high...
2 Cans Garbanzo Beans(Chickpeas)
1 Quart Veggie Stock
A couple of sliced Yellow Squash
2 handfuls of Baby Spinach

Pan fry some Turkey Italian Sausage until almost cooked and add to crock

In separate pan...
Fry and let caramelize 1 large Sweet Onion with Light Brown Sugar and 1 large clove of garlic in Salted Stick Butter

In another pan...
Fry some finely cut Okra with 1 large clove of garlic until very browned with Salted Stick Butter

Add Rosemary, Salt and Pepper.

Let cook for at least 2 hours on higher temp

Serve with Cheddar shredded cheese!

IT WAS SO SAVORY NOM NOM NOM

I'm bringing a big pot of chili to my gaming club.

2lbs ground beef
2 chopped onions
1 can tomato sauce
1 can whole peeled tomatos
2 jalepeno peppers
1 habanero pepper
1 green bell pepper
3 stalks of celery
2 cloves of garlic
...

Making this again. Swapping out a habanero for a splash of blair's ultra death. This should work, right? :D

Add a red or orange sweet pepper too, you're replacing the spice of the habanero, but you need to replace the sweet fruitiness too.

I didn't read this in time, but it tastes great!

Bump! I just got a hand-me-down slow cooker from my mom and I can't decide what to make first.

Oh god, this is totally boring but I roast whole chickens in my crockpot and they comeout so so good. I throw in some water, onions, carrots, celery and garlic cloves and leave it on low for 6-8 hours. Not only do I have a delicious chicken for a few days but I alos just made myself stock!

So I know one of the joys of the slow cooker is that you can set it up before you go to work and once you get home, dinner is all ready. That's what really got me excited about having one of my very own. The problem is that most recipes I see call for 4-6 hours of cooking, at low, and I'm gone closer to 11 hours of the day. Can anyone recommend me some serious long-cooking recipes so I don't over cook dinner?

The whole chicken is a great meal, gumbos, chili, roasts... they are all good and can benefits from a NICE long roast.

It generally won't do it too much harm for the extra time. As long as there's plenty of liquid then it'll stay nice and moist and if anything, the meat will be even more tender.

Dan is correct, when making chili or anything that I know will take longer then the suggested time I just add a little more liquid.

If you are really concerned, some slow cookers have a timer on them that can kick the pot over to the "warm" setting after your desired cooking time. I do NOT have this feature, and I do have to say I have never made something in a slow cooker that tasted overcooked.
