    Crockpot Beeftips & Gravy
    (You can totally use the smaller Crockpot for this, and I like to double the recipe for the bigger one)

    1 Package stew meat
    1 Can French Onion Soup (Campbell's)
    1 Can Cream of Celery Soup

    Leave on low all day (I get home about 10 hours after I leave and it's still great), serve over rice or noodles.

    Easiest thing I've ever made and the absolute yummiest. You'd think the cream of celery soup would overpower it but you can't taste it at all.

    I've made this twice, once with rolled oats and ones with old fashioned, pretty tasty either way (I skipped the butter, halfed the sugar), though I'd like to try it with other fruits as well it seems like a good base (and she has other recipes).

    I do something pretty similar for beef stroganoff. I just use an English or chuck roast, whatever was on sale (but stew meat works too) and a can of French onion soup in the crock pot on low all day. Shred with forks when ready. Mix in a can of cream of mushroom soup and about 1/3 cup of sour cream. Serve over or mix in with egg noodles.

    And the way I make this is to use round steak - however much you need to feed your family. then add a "cream of" soup - mushroom, asparagus, celery - doesnt matter - plus the packet of onion soup mix. Fabulous easy meal even good for company. Great gravy!

    It is NOT a good idea to put frozen meat in the crock pot. The temperature rises too slowly to prevent bacteria from growing. Put in defrosted meat or partially cook the meat on the stove before putting in pot. This is especially true for chicken. It's unfortunate that the first comment here advises people to use raw chicken :/

    False.

    I think this depends.........

    Old crock pots have a lower temperature than new ones do. Newer crock pots are safer for frozen food.

    I found a good price on beets this past week. I cook them in my crock pot and use them as a salad during the week.

    Take 2 bunches of beets (I use regular and golden beets)
    scrub them. If they have the stems attached cut those off. (I leave about 2 inches of stems on the beets. If you cut them too short the beets liquid will drain out.)

    Dry the whole beets and rub vegetable oil, and coarse salt on top.

    put 2 layers of foil in crock pot. (enough to cover on all sides and fold over)
    add beets and fold the top of the foil.

    cook 4 hours high.

    let cool
    put on gloves and peel off skin then slice the beets and add a couple of tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.
    Done

    *do not throw away the tops of the beets. wash them well, and chop them up. Saute with a little garlic and olive oil.
    Enjoy.


    Thank you,

    I love beets!

    Im a big fan of Pork Arm roast (also known as pork butt) in the crock pot. Salt and pepper thoroughly, cook at least 8 hours on low. No need to add any liquid. If we are making tacos Ill add a can of hatch green chilis when I start cooking, shred and serve on corn tortillas with salsa, avocado slices and cilantro. If we're doing Hawaiian Kahlua pork I will add 3 tablespoons or so of hickory flavored liquid smoke when I start cooking. This is served over rice.

    Paleo butter chicken! I'm not paleo but this was SO good. I put everything in the crockpot with chicken and let it cook on high about 5 hours (my chicken was still frozen). Only diffs: I used coconut cream becuase that's what I had, and I couldn't get cardamom so I used an equal mix of cinnamon and nutmeg. At the end, while I put my rice in the rice cooker, I shredded the chicken, and added some frozen peas, and stirred the whole thing together to sit while the rice cooked. SO GOOD. And easy too!

    Home made crock pot yogurt

    Half of a gallon of milk
    One container whole milk plain yogurt.



    Pour milk into crock cook on low 2 hours 45 minutes, then shut of and leave standing as is 2 hours.
    After two hours are up stir in small container of whole milk plain yogurt(these are your cultures).
    Wrap in large bath towel and stick it in oven++ (see below)with light on and leave it alone for at least twelve hours.
    This is great to do over night.....

    It will have liquid on top ...this is whey and can be spooned off.
    Can add fruit or vanilla, honey, you choose....

    Don't forget to set a side about a cup for starter on next batch
    +++NOT for GAS oven!!!!!!!! We don't want towel on fire!


    Good for 7-10 days in fridge....the fresher the milk the longer it lasts...
    Also the more milk fat the thicker the yogurt...
    If you use 2 percent or lower were you can strain with cheesecloth to make thicker or add unflavored gelatin when you add cultures to thicken.

    Also made this! Made with chicken breast and shredded it at the end. Super good. Added a small dash of ghost chili sauce to the seasonings too for a bit of spice. It's so simple I'll defs make it again.

    Made this with chicken breast instead and shredded it all up over some orzo pasta. Soooo good. You don't really taste the ranch; it just give it an extra something and the whole thing is savory and delicious ❤️
