Crock Pot Recipes?

soccerkon26

I have a long commute after work and would love some crock pot recipes that I could prepare in the morning and let sit for about 11 hours! Is that possible?

There are lots of threads on here with the same question. Just hit the search button and type in crockpot recipes and they should come up. Hope this helps.

You can get a crock pot with a timer so it starts later or finishes sooner. I find my recipes are best if they don't cook more than eight hours. I think bean-based chilis are the most forgiving for long cook times. Tomorrow I will be doing a repeat on a white chili recipe.

Crock Pot White Chicken Chili

This pulled pork recipe looks really good.

Pork Butt or Shoulder or Beef Chuck Roast in a Crock Pot

• Get a hunk of meat that fits in the pot. It'll shrink down to about 2/3 it's size.
• Salt it about 12 tsp or more per lb of meat
• Salt some water (maybe 1/2 tsp salt per qt of water) and add it so it comes about 2/3 to 3/4 up to the top of the meat
• Turn on low and come back in 11 hours to eat

Make it even better if you want to by browning the meat in a little oil first.
Make it better yet by adding two halves of an onion a couple each carrots and celery stalks cut or broken enough so they fit it the crock pot. Replace the celery with a seeded and stemmed Poblano pepper if you feel like it. Toss in a couple bay leaves if you got any. By the way, add this stuff at the beginning, not the end.

This recipe has been written to precise specifications so be sure not to deviate from it in any way.

Just checking, is that supposed to read 12 teaspoons or 1/2 teaspoon?

oops Meant 1/2. 1 or even 1 1/2 might be OK. 12 tsp per lb would be too much for anybody's taste.

Thanks minizebu.

Italian beef sandwiches. Buy a cheap beef roast....dump it in the crock pot. Dump an entire jar of hot giardinaire (the chopped kind for sandwiches) or mild if you prefer....but the long cooking time drastically reduces the heat.

Cook. shred with two forks and serve on rolls, over rice, or eat plain.

As others have said, many slow cookers have timers or "keep warm" settings so your food won't actually be cooking all day.

A favorite I'm making later this week is to throw in chicken (bone-in gives the best flavor), cubed sweet potatoes, onion, and mushroom, then cover with white wine (cut with water or broth to lower the calorie count) and add salt, pepper, and garlic to taste.

sometimes the spices/seasoning for these can be a bit light.. so adjust accordingly before serving to your tastes. I've done the sweet barbacoa pork many times-but I refuse to use chemical crud from diet/zero coke. so I use reg coke and adjust cals accordingly.

I love this French onion soup and it's dead easy:

Slice onions into thick rounds or half-circles (you want them thick so they don't disintegrate), enough to completely fill the Crockpot. Put a stick of butter or margarine on top along with plenty of thyme. Leave it on low all night (8-10 hours). In the morning, add enough beef stock (and optionally sherry or red wine) to cover the (now beautifully caramelized) onions by at least three inches; let that go on low for the entire workday (another 8-10 hours, but longer won't hurt anything). Ladle into oven-safe bowls, top each with good crusty bread and some Gruyere (or similar creamy semi-hard cheese), and broil until the bread is toasty & cheese is bubbly. SO GOOD.

If your crockpot doesn't have a timer, you can just buy one of those little electric socket timers and set it to turn on/off. They're around $5
