Pot Roast- a French flair version

3-4 lb of pot roast beef (Chuck or blade)
Large onion (sliced on bottom of cooker)
A cup of coffee (strong)
1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 c beef broth

Cook on low 6 hrs or more (just add more liquid)

Thicken sauce after cooking (use a cup of cold water with 5 TBSPs of flour and cook in saucepan until thick) (or use cornstarch, but I don't know the technique (google))

Are you thinking of the Cheeseburger Crockpot one? If so it might be in it's own thread... let me know if that's what you're looking for and I'll try and hunt it down for you tomorrow when I'm back online. :flowerforyou:

Oh and yes you can bake in the Crockpot, anything from applesauce to cake and well, pretty much everything you can imagine.:drinker:

I love using my crockpot! I probably use it twice a week (usually just on weekends when I'm home).

The hand's down, favorite crockpot meal in my house is Carne Guisada. It's the best beef stew I've ever tasted in my life, and make that aji picante sauce - it brings it over the top.

Chicken Enchilada soup is a close second. We use chopped zucchini in place of beans.

I make this Chicken Cacciatore with mushrooms probably once every six weeks. I keep it frozen in portions at all times. My husband thinks it's the best, and I eat it for lunch pretty often at work.

Turkey picadillo I also make and freeze. Sometimes if I'm super hungry, I pull a cup and mix it with sauteed cabbage for "crack"slaw

This Chicken Tikka Masala - easy and really good.

White bean soup cheap and more flavorful than you'd think.

This Thai coconut chicken soup is also really good and has a lot of vegetables in it. The only thing is I hate to bring it to work because I don't like the smell of fish sauce permeating my office, lol.

I love my buffalo chicken burgers..I throw frozen chicken breasts with half a bottle,or so depending on how many chicken breasts your doing, of franks red hot and let it cook on low all day
Eat it with lettuce and tomato and fat free ranch on a whole wheat bun
It's so good if you like a bit of a kick

If you do Facebook at all, look up Skinny Crock Pot. They have tons of GREAT recipes! I just made these two this week:

Irish Lamb Stew

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 3/4 pounds white potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 large leeks, white part only, halved, washed (see Tip) and thinly sliced
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Preparation

Combine lamb, potatoes, leeks, carrots, celery, broth, thyme, salt and pepper in a 6-quart slow cooker; stir to combine. Put the lid on and cook on low until the lamb is fork-tender, about 8 hours. Stir in parsley before serving.
(It's Delicious!! And the meat turns out SO tender!)

Balsamic Chicken

Ingredients:
4-6 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
2 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1 onion thinly sliced (Not chopped)
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tblsp olive oil
1 tsp each: dried oregano,basil, and rosemary
1/2 tsp thyme
ground black pepper and salt to taste

Preparation:

Pour the olive oil on bottom of crock pot
place in chicken breasts, salt and pepper each breast
put sliced onion on top of chicken
then put in all the dried herbs and garlic cloves
pour in vinegar and top with tomatoes

Cook on high 4 hours, serve over angel hair pasta.

(this can also be slow-cooked over 8 hours. I added a bit more balsamic than called for, plus some fresh spinach under the onions and tomatoes, and it was wonderful!)

Enjoy!

Saving for later!

I like to cook the chicken the day before and put the cooled broth in the fridge and then the next day skim the fat off the broth and then make the recipe.
