You can make broccoli cheese soup, but you don't have to do it in a crockpot. It doesn't take that long to cook, and doing it in the crockpot is just an extra hassle. It's basically a "roux + chicken stock, simmer to thicken, add cheese" type of recipe - real simple.

 


Agreed.  Plus to add a little bulk to it, get your favorite package of ramen noodles (chicken flavored is preferable).  Add the noodles. I find that the noodles makes it even better.

Saw this in a book a while ago.  I don't have the recipe so I just wing it from memory and it comes out fine.

16 oz Red Beans
16 oz Crushed Tomatoes
4 oz Chopped Green Chilies
1 cup Chopped Celery
2 tbsp. Italian Seasoning
1 lb. Smoked Sausage
Tabasco to taste  (I use Dave's Insanity instead.)

Slice the sausage into bite-size pieces.
Combine everything in the crock pot and stir.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Serve over rice.

Wasn't bad.  I think what would have set it over the top was a good home made horseradish sauce.  I'm had some good HR sauce on some beef sandwiches before that just makes it complete.

Beer BBQ Chicken





Trying a new SIM-PULL recipe that I was given by a co-worker that I'm attempting today.


  • Whole Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breast(s).  






    • I'm using 2 that I cut in half plus removed any excess fat.




  • Beer - Depends on how you like your flavoring.  I was told that Miller Light gives it a nice beer taste but isn't too over powering.




    • I used 2 1 bottle of Miller Light.  After making it, it was good with 2 beers, but might be too much kick for most people.  Stick with 1 bottle and go from there on subsequent cookings.





  • BBQ Sauce - Using Sweet Baby Rays (original flavor)




    • I used 2 Bottles of it.  






  • Onion - 1 sliced.  I then pulled each individual ring apart to spread it out.


I put the 2 bottles of beer and bbq sauce in 1st.  Use a wisk to mix the beer and bbq sauce.  Should foam up a little then settle to a nice bbq colored look.


Add the Sliced Onions.


Then add your chicken breasts.


I pushed the breasts down under the sauce.





Cook on Low for 8-10hrs.  I'm going for 10hrs to see how it tastes.

I may try that just for giggles, but, I'm considering cutting the amount of  liquid you added in half. Waiting for after action report.

Just finished up.  It was pretty darn good.  Had it with Cheesy Potato Casserole.  yum yum.  Heck my Dad is picky and he ate almost almost 3/4 of a chicken breast.    The dog loved it.
I think if I was doing it again, I would go with 1 bottle of booze and stick with the 2 bottles of BBQ sauce.  But it really depends on if you want more "kick".  





I also think 10hrs seemed pretty much spot on.  The chicken was extremely tender and fell apart with the touch of your fork.

I've done a whole roasted chicken, just season and put in the pot.  The trick is to elevate the chicken off the bottom using a rack or even some rolled up foil so the bird sits above all the liquid.

Lazy man's pulled pork.  Layer the bottom of the pot with sliced onions. Add the pork roast. Layer more onions on top. Fill almost to the top of the roast with Sprite or 7up and cook on low for 8-10 hours. (season with your favorite rub or not) Pour off the liquid, shred with a fork and add you favorite BBQ sauce. Reheat and your good to go.



O know this sounds kinda weird but someone posted this here some time back and it pretty dang good.  All day on the smoker over pecan wood is better but this ain't bad.

1 small onion, rough chopped
1/2 cup red wine
1tbs Ms. Dash seasoning

Throw it all in the pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

I do this with deer meat also.

Makes a great meal for 4-6 people depending on size of person.  

Serve with biscuits or texas toast.

Honestly it was...meh.  There wasn't enough flavor imparted into the chicken.  I'm betting that the inclusion of the broth watered everything down too much.





Still a good idea, just don't follow my above recipe.

I liked the sauce but the breast were too dry. I want to try this with thighs to see if they hold up better to the slow and low cooking.



But if you made the sauce in a pan and grilled or pan fried some breast to keep them moist and give them a little more flavor it would be awesome.

They were, I'll play with it with out the crockpot in two weeks. I think I'll pan fry the breast in a SS pan. then hit the pan with some white wine or chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Add in the cream of chicken soup, cream cheese and dressing then serving it over some noodles.

I slow cooked some chicken today, and I want to add some hot sauce overnight.

3 breasts, 6 thighs, 6 legs with the meat pulled off the bone.

I have 1 bottle of generic hot sauce, would you add the whole thing, or half?

Should I add some honey too?

I looked to see if something like this was already posted but didn't see it.

Italian Pulled Pork

1 Pork Butt (10-14 lbs), cut it off the bone and get rid of the big chunks of fat, I end up cutting off a couple pound of fat.
If you don't the final product will be oozing fat. It still will have plenty after the trimming is done.

1-2 packages of Louie's Italian Beef au jus seasoning

1/2 c or less water

Throw in crockpot with the bone included (adds tremendous flavor)

Cook for 8+ hours on low. 10 hours= better and 12 won't hurt it.



I have to order it online from their website now that we live in Texas but I love this stuff. MSG and all.

For anyone that doesn't like sour kraut, may I suggest you dice up 1 or 2 "sweet" apples and put them into your mix.  The sweetness of the apple helps counter the sour of the kraut.

You can also add some caraway seed.  I use homeade kraut that a friend cans and it has a lot of caraway.  If I were to use store bought, I would add some caraway.
Apple is always a good thing in kraut or cooked cabbage.  We always add apple to our German style cooked red cabbage.

Enjoy!  This is so simple, but it's our favorite crockpot dish!

For anyone that doesn't like sour kraut, may I suggest you dice up 1 or 2 "sweet" apples and put them into your mix.  The sweetness of the apple helps counter the sour of the kraut.


You can also add some caraway seed.  I use homeade kraut that a friend cans and it has a lot of caraway.  If I were to use store bought, I would add some caraway.
Apple is always a good thing in kraut or cooked cabbage.  We always add apple to our German style cooked red cabbage.

I pretty much make the above recipe, adjusted for amount (i'm single), and, I have been known to toss a bottle of dark beer in there to add some more interesting character to the pot.

Do you drain the kraut before putting it in the pot?

Here's another simple one that's really good.

Crocked Beef

2lbs beef stew meat cut in 1" chunks

1 package Lipton Onion Soup Mix

1 stick butter

Put all 3 ingredients in the crockpot on high, stir it once after the butter melts, turn it to low and cook for eight hours.

Serve over noodles or rice.

Enjoy!

Chicken breasts

Cook on low 4-6 hours. The last hour or so pull the chicken out and use a blender stick (or whatever tool) to mix up the sauce well so it is smooth. Put the chicken back in and cook for a little more.



Serve over rice. I like lots of ground pepper on mine. I think it tastes even better the next day after it has been in the fridge.


gonna try this today, will let you know how it was later.



added a can of cream of mushroom to it.
