Crock pot slow cookin' ideas

[Jeff Clark]

There are a lot of meats that are reduced to mush by cooking in a slow cooker. It is a great way to cook a tougher meat along with a sauce. My easy favorite is brisket with BBQ sauce. Slightly brown the outside of a slab of brisket in a frying pan with some oil. Put the brisket in the crock pot and adjust the temperature to low. Put your favorite sauce on brisket and cook for 8 hours.

Even easier is to cook corn beef in a crockpot. Rinse off a slab of corn beef. Lightly brown the outside as above. Cook as above, but don't put on the BBQ sauce. You can throw some cabbage on top half way through. I don't cut it very small.

Just want to add that Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners are the best thing since sliced bread. :thumbup:

We make this easy recipe for bbq pulled pork every couple of months:

pork shoulder - a big 'un - you want lots of leftovers.
bbq dry rub (or a combo of salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, red chili flakes, etc . . whatever you like)
1 large onion
1 bottle bbq sauce of choice

Rub pork shoulder with dry rub. Put in crock pot with chopped onion. Cover with water. Cook for at least 6 hours.

Remove pork and all solids to a large plate or tupperware container. Discard liquid (mostly fat anyways). Use two forks to shred the pork. Return pork and onions to crock pot. Add 2/3rd bottle of bbq sauce to taste. Simmer until dinner time.

Serve on hoagie rolls with coleslaw on the side. Yum!

This is a fairly easy recipe that turns out an excellent beef stew in 8-10 hrs.

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 pounds lean stew beef cut in 1-inch cubes
1 packet Lipton beefy onion soup mix
1 1/2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
4 medium potatoes, cubed
4 carrots, sliced
1/2 cup frozen yellow corn
1 cup water
1-2 stalk celery (sliced)
1 cup pearl onions
1 Hunt's Stewed Tomatoes 14.5oz, with juice
1 clove crushed garlic
salt and pepper to taste (I also like to add some Knorr seasoning for meat but any seasoned salt will work)

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with about 1/4 cup cold water (for thickening stew when done)


Put all ingredients (except corn starch and water) in a slow cooker on low heat for 8 to 10 hours. Taste and adjust seasonings. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water. Turn heat to high and stir until thickened.
