If you get things stewy or soupy, use less water. Here's a good one- put a whole chicken in the pot, dump on a jar of orange marmalade and 1/2 c. teriyaki sauce from a jar. Add about 1/4 c. water, put lid on and cook low all day. It'll fall off the bone. Here's another good one- easy too. Take as big a pork roast as will fit in your crock. Cover with water and cook on low overnight. Don't even peek. It'll stink like crazy in the morning, but you'll have a great pork stock- easy freezy in ice cube trays then into ziplocs for adding flavor to gravies, etc. a little or a lot at a time. Anyway, in the late morning, get the liquid out and shred that pork roast. I usually leave it sit for a few minutes to cool. Put all the shredded pork back in the crock, add a can of manwich sauce and a bottle of your favorite bbq sauce (use less if you like it drier) and stir. Back on low with an occasional stir till suppertime. Serve on buttered and toasted buns or Texas toast with slaw on the side or the sandwich. Can do the above with beef too. For chicken, I would suggest boiling it on the stove in the morning, shredding and then back in the crock. I posted for albondigas in another thread. Bean stuff 1/2 lb. ground beef (cooked/drained) 1/2 lb. bacon cut up(half cooked - not crispy) 1 big roughly chopped onion 1 c. ketchup 1/2 c. honey 1/2 c. brown sugar 1 c. crushed pineapple with juice 2 tbsp. vinegar (I like apple cider with this recipe) 1 tsp. chopped garlic 1 can garbanzo beans drained 1 can red kidney beans drained 1 can black beans drained 2 cans pork & beans or a big family size I double this for my big crock and add in Northern beans and Lima beans. I also add another big can of pork & beans, more bacon, more beef...cook on low all day & serve with warm bread- yummy!!! This is really good with fresh corn tortillas: 1 can Black Beans, rinsed and drained 1 can Mexi-corn, drained 1 jar salsa, divided 1 lb chicken tenderloins Rotel Tomatoes Put black beans, Mexi-corn and 1/2 jar of the salsa on the bottom of the crock pot. Add tomatoes. Top with the chicken and pour the rest of the salsa over it. Cook on low all day, or high for 3-4 hours. I add a block of cream cheese cut in cubes right at the end and stir till it melts. Ok, that's all I have in me for now...lol...if you have more specifics, let me know and I'll see what I can come up with! Oh, and you can wrap potatoes in foil, put them in the crock and cook all day for easy baked potatoes! Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness.- Mother Theresa |
