Archives: Request: Slow Cooker Recipes Archived on 01/14/2009 I am looking for some slow cooker recipes. Becky from Shreveport, LA Answers: RE: Slow Cooker Recipes This is our favorite. I double the sauce because we like it over smashed potatoes. You can also add broccoli on top when you add the cornstarch for an Asian flare.

I have a favorite recipe as well. one can of cream of mushroom soup and a package of onion soup mix stired together in the bottom of the crockpot. Add a pork roast, beef roast or venison and turn to coat it. Cook for 4 hours on high but it really depends on the size of your roast. I trim all the fat I can so I can use the gravy over potatoes or rice. (01/08/2009) By pam. RE: Slow Cooker Recipes http://www.50plusfriends.com/cookbook/crockpot/index-5b.html (01/08/2009) By Sarah Ann Report Spam or Abuse Request: Slow Cooker Recipes Archived on 01/06/2009 This is my first time to this website and it looks great! I have a question that I'm hoping someone could help me with. I have a slow cooker and I don't know what to cook in it. I cooked pork and that turned out well - I tried beef and that turned into a silver side type dish. I have also tried a casserole, but does anyone else have any great ideas or recipes? Thank you! Julie from Sydney, Australia Answers: RE: Slow Cooker Recipes I'm not sure how you can ruin anything by cooking in a crock pot (slow cooker), unless it ran out of moisture. Tons of recipes on the internet. My favorite (and simplest) is a whole chicken (frozen or thawed). Rinse and remove the innards. Rub with butter and dust inside and out with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Drop into crock pot. Add nothing else. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. You will have a fall-apart chicken and about 2 cups of broth to make soup with. My most use for my slow cooker is for baked beans and Navy Bean soup. Recipes are on the internet. (07/16/2007) By mcnerd RE: Slow Cooker Recipes Here are a couple of my favorites: CROCKPOT CHILI 2 (16 ounce) cans red beans 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes 2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder 2 pounds ground chuck, browned and drained and a teaspoon black pepper 1 green pepper, chopped 1 teaspoon cumin 1 large onion, chopped 1 teaspoon salt Put all ingredients in slow cooker and stir well. Cook on LOW 10 to 12 hours. VEGETABLE-BEEF SOUP 1 lb. stew meat 3 cups water 1 14-ounce can tomatoes & teaspoon coarse black pepper 2 carrots, sliced 3 beef bouillon cubes 2 stalks celery, sliced 1 10-ounce package frozen mixed 2 medium onions, diced 2 medium potatoes, diced Put all ingredients in crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 12 hours. Almost any soup or stew recipe works great in a crock pot. Enjoy! (07/17/2007) By Jean from MS RE: Slow Cooker Recipes I make pot roast in my slow cooker. Put whatever veggies you desire, potatoes, carrots, onions, etc. on the bottom and the roast on top. Season with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like. Put about a quarter cup of water in and just let it cook! It will turn out delicious. Linda (07/17/2007) By lbjack RE: Slow Cooker Recipes Sometimes I make my pasta sauce in the slow cooker.

Penny (07/17/2007) By maggie3956 RE: Slow Cooker Recipes Just go to "allrecipes.com" and you can find all kinds of recipes using the crock-pot. I use that web all the time for about any recipe. Good luck on your cooking. Pat in GA, USA (07/17/2007) By Pat437 RE: Slow Cooker Recipes If you can buy turkey pieces (I sometimes just buy a breast or 2 turkey legs), put them in your crock pot and rub with margarine and put a couple onion slices on top and season to taste. Cook on low 8-10 hrs and it will taste just like an oven roasted turkey! You don't even have to add any water but you could add 1/4 cup if you wanted to. I also always spray my crock pot with cooking spray before I cook anything in it. It makes clean up easier. Today I put a boneless pork roast in my crock pot. I poured a little bottled lemon juice over it, added some garlic and some all purpose seasoning. It will cook all day and come out great. Good luck to you! Just remember, almost anything you make in the oven can be modified to the crock pot with some practice. (07/18/2007) RE: Slow Cooker Recipes Hi, Julie!:) I love using my slow cooker during the school year....with teaching it is such a lifesaver! Here are some of my family's very favorites: Macaroni and Cheese 8oz. elbow macaroni, cooked al dente 13oz. can evaporated milk 1 cup whole milk 1/4 c. butter, melted 2 large eggs, slightly beaten 4 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper 1/4 c. grated fresh Parmesan cheese In slow cooker, combine lightly cooked macaroni, evaporated milk, whole milk, melted butter, eggs, 3 cups cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Top with remaining cheddar and parmesan cheeses. Cover and cook on low 3 hours. *I double this recipe and cook on low all day while at work...turns out delicious!:) Italian Chicken Place a whole chicken in slow cooker. Pour one small bottle of Italian dressing over top. Cook on low 6-8 hours. DELICIOUS! This chicken is so moist and flavorful...yummy! I serve it with a nice salad and baked potato. OR...add some cut up potatoes and baby carrots on top of chicken before pouring dressing over. Full meal. Tuna Noodle Casserole 2 1/2 c. dry noodles 1 tsp. salt 1/2 c. finely chopped onion 12oz. can tuna 10 3/4 oz. can cream of mushroom soup Half a soup can of water 1/4 c. almonds, sliced 1 c. frozen peas Combine all ingredients in slow cooker, except peas. Cover. Cook on high 2-3 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Twenty minutes before end of cooking time, stir in the peas and reduce heat to low if cooking on high. Hope this helps you out some....enjoy!:) (07/18/2007) By Ashley RE: Slow Cooker Recipes http://www.e-cookbooks.net/library/crockpot.pdf Free ebook full of crock pot recipes, I also suggest joining a group for crock pot users, I belong to slowcooker@yahoogroups.com, it even has a winners page that has some awesome slow cooker recipes.
