What are some of your tried and true slow cooker recipes?
(Yes, I'm collecting recipes for the winter)
Cream of mushroom soup is my favorite. vegetable soup is good too. Chicken whole or leg quarters with onions and carrots. I use my crock pot 3 or 4 times a month in the winter and can make enough for a few meals. There are 1000's of recipes on line, Google is your friend.
Thie one is very easy, but tastes amazing.
Get a pork roast, around 3 to 4 pounds depending on how many will be eating.
Add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup.
1 packet of lipton french onion soup mix. (the dry stuff).
Don't add any water, the juices from the pork will do all that work itself.
If you don't like pork, a beef roast works just as well.
I usually put it together in the morning on low, and by dinner time it will be the most tender roast you've ever tasted.
I used to make that in a resturaunt for specials quite often.
It always sold out..
Roast Beef- take a chuck roast, sear it in a very hot frying pan, place the meat in the crock pot, add sliced onion and mushrooms, deglaze the frying pan with water, dump the water in the crock pot and cook on low while you're at work. It will be delicious when you get home.
I havn't used a crock pot in so long, which is sad because I love slow cooked foods. I just don't seem to have time these days to organize menu's, shopping, preparation and then cooking. BUT soon I will have more time to do all of those things so I will be keeping my eye on this posting to see if I can pick up some recipies as well.
