Corn Bread

I was talking about this with my brother cause I was equally intrigued when I saw this. He said "duh, crockpot is a fancy dutch oven"

Sweet and Savory Chicken        (Made this tonight after finding recipe in one of my cook books, I adapted it from oven version, and by adapting, I mean I just browned the chicken first, then tossed in crock pot)

- 2lbs chicken, Browned  (I used boneless skinless breasts and thighs) I browned the chicken in a non-stick skillet with no oil.
- 1 pkg dry onion soup mix
- 8 oz (Half bottle) French Dressing
- 1 can cranberry sauce with whole cranberries


After browning chicken (heck, next time, I'm not going to brown it, just to see what happens), put it in crock pot.
Mix other ingredients in bowl, then pour over chicken. Cover, and cook the shit out of it. You crock settings may vary, so just cook it till it's done to your liking. I think this would do well on low for 6 or 7 hours if you needed to set it and hit the road or something.  

I cooked mine on high for 4 hours, it was done then, but, I set the crock on Low and let it go for another hour because I had stuff to do.
I made some rice and had that on the side. I loved this recipe !  I'm not a huge sweet & sour fan, but this is not as sweet as you would think, and just the right amount of  tangy. I will be making this again.  
Next time I make it I may throw some rice or veggies or both in towards the end. You could also serve this over egg noodles.

Screw it, next time, I'm using pork chops! And after that, I will try a pork loin, or turkey.

Anyone do dry beans (pintos, navy beans, etc) in the slow cooker?  If so, how?
Link Posted: 10/20/2011 4:49:34 AM EDT
[Last Edit: golfroot] [#7]
2 pounds of dry large lima beans
1 stick butter
1 ham bone with some meat left on it
Tony Cachere's cajun seasoning to taste
ETA:  Fill the crock pot with water to the top, cause the beans will fill it up when they soak up the water.  I have a big ass crock pot, and the beans always try to crawl out of the top.
Cook on low until done.  The longer they cook, the better they taste.
Serve with cornbread and chopped onion

My Dad hated butter beans for 79 years.  Two years ago, he tasted these and can't get enough of them.

ETA2: I really don't like my crock pot.  It only has "High, Low, and Keep Warm" settings.  I used to have one that had a rheostat on it, letting me choose infinite settings.  If anyone has a line on a current production crock pot with a rheostat on it, please let me know.

Pinto beans in a crock pot
3 cups picked and washed pinto beans and cover with about three inches of water.



1 tsp salt



1 tsp fresh cracked pepper



1 tsp garlic powder



1 TBSP chili powder



2 TBSP dry minced onion



1/2 pound diced bacon or 3 TBSP bacon drippings  (you do still keep bacon
drippings around to cook with, right? )
Cook on high for the first hour and then on low for at least 4 more hours.

Wow!  Made it this past week except I used a hotter spice mixture than Italian dressing, and it came out great with some boiled potatoes on the side.

Probably not if you want a flaky crust, that would require higher heat from the top than the crockpot can provide.

I wonder if you could do the filling in the crock, remove it, lay the pie dough on top and throw it in the oven.  I've browned meat and bones in the oven right in the crock, and then into the cooker - also cuts down on time because of no warmup.

Tried this the other day, I substituted a 3lb arm roast, and cut the ingredients in 1/2, put it on a lightly pan fried tortilla shell topped with lettuce, tomato, and sour cream.

   * 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
   * 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
   * 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
   * 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
   * 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
   * 4 fluid ounces beer
   * 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
   * 4 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
   * 2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring
   * 1 large onion, chopped
   * 1 green bell pepper, chopped

I do with babybacks.  I use a dry rub and stand the ribs on end, cook on Hi for an hour and then Lo for 4 or 5 hours.  I then finish on the grill at maybe 5 minutes per side just to crisp it up a bit.  I prefer a vinegar based sauce but I've also used tomato based but only once the ribs are on the grill.  No sauce while they are in the slow cooker.

Can't remember if I've already posted this in here, but here's a copypasta of my short lived thread on Cajun Butterbeans.

Kat is my sister in law.  Chuck is her husband.  Chuck LOVES my butterbeans, but they give him terrible (wonderful?) gas.

Salt Free and Original Tony Cachere's seasoning
Water

Start your butter melting in the crock pot.  Add Tony Cachere's to taste.

Toss a hambone in there.  Might want to throw a chunk of ham in there, too.  Chuck likes the meat.

http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u343/golfroot27006/390519db.jpg

Beans, fuck yeah!

http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u343/golfroot27006/eb56b074.jpg

But you need to sort through them and pick out the bad beans and gravel, right?  When I was a kid, my mother was a "bean counter".   She counted every bean, just so she didn't let a bad one get into the pot.    Here's my method: Pour about a half pound of beans into the lid of the crock pot, inspect, drink a beer, cull the bad ones, pour the beans into the crock pot.  Lather, rinse, get another beer, and repeat.  That gives me 4 beers, just sorting beans.  That said, this recipe is already a win.

http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u343/golfroot27006/baf14d13.jpg

Fill the crock pot up with the rest of the beans.

http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u343/golfroot27006/7ee10a3c.jpg

Cover it with water and turn it on its lowest setting.

http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u343/golfroot27006/38021e7c.jpg

Don't lift the lid for at least 12 hours unless you see beans floating with their skin all wrinkled up and discolored.  If this is the case, your crock pot's running way too hot. Don't worry, the beans will still be edible, just not "melt in your mouth".  

If they have a smooth texture to their skin, taste the beans and see if they need a little more time.

Hopefully, they'll need enough time for you to make a cake of cornbread and chop up some onion. I like mine with a splash of Tabasco or a spoonful of local (fucking smoking hot) chow chow.

Hope you enjoy the aftermath.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Large Onion
  • 1 whole Pork Shoulder ("pork Butt") - 5 To 7 Pounds
  • Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 can (11 Ounce) Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce
  • 2 cans Dr. Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

Preparation Instructions

Peel the onion and cut it into wedges. Lay them in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Generously salt and pepper the pork roast, then set it on top of the onions in the cooker.  Set it fat side up.

Pour the can of chipotle peppers over the pork (include the sauce.) Pour in both cans of Dr Pepper. Add brown sugar to the juice and stir in.

Place lid tightly on cooker and cook on low.  We usually turn it on in the morning when we leave for work and it's ready when we get home. It will be falling apart.

Skim the fat from the meat first.  Then remove meat from pot and place on a cutting board or other work surface. Use two forks to shred meat, discarding any remaining pieces of fat. Strain as much of the fat off the top of the cooking liquid as you can and discard it. Return the shredded meat to the cooker, and keep warm until ready to serve. (You can also refrigerate the meat and liquid separately, then remove hardened fat once it's cold. Then heat up the liquid on the stovetop and return the meat to the liquid to warm up.

Serve on warm flour tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, grated cheese, avocado slices, salsa, and whatever else you'd like.



I wonder if this could be done with a pork loin?  I've got a couple big ones I need to be using up.

[/div]

If you like spicy, put a pork loin in a crock pot, douse it with a can of 7 Up, then coat it with salt free Tony Cachere's Cajun Seasoning.  If you can't find Tony's, look for Konrico.  Be aware that Konrico is loaded up with sodium.  

Let it roll on low all day.

Serve it with your drool and prepare to take your wife or kid's hands off at the elbow if they reach for the leftovers.  It's really that fucking good.  

Kick me in the ass if I'm wrong.

Frozen roast beef.  I usually get a large roast and cut it into 3rds so I have 3 roasts about 2-2.5# each, vacuum seal it and freeze it.

Place frozen roast in crock pot.
add 1 can of cream of mushroom
sprinkle 1 package dry onion soup mix on top of that
quarter potatoes (4-5 small/medium ones) leaving skin
add baby carrots (couple handfuls)
cut/chop red onion (not a lot you already have soup mix thats onion)
celery (water plant for the crock pot... only good purpose it has)

put on low for 8 hours
put on high for 4-5 hours

Whats left in the pot can be thickened with cornstarch and used for gravy if wanted. (every time for me)

Perfect for 2-4 people.  No left overs.

I LOVE this meal.  Make it at least 2-3 times a month.

dumb question time....

on the lima beans, when you say lowest setting are you talking about low or warm?
for 12 hours I am assuming just on warm.

need to work on my crock pot skills
so far all we do is roasts or beef stew in it

Since most crock pots don't have a warm setting it should be low.  I'm assuming warm is just for keeping the dish at temp vs actually cooking it.

Oooooh it was really good.  
The only downside is that I brought it over to my parents house and my car smells like Au Jus.  I'm not sure if that's a blessing or curse.  





I'm considering doing it again and possibly putting in egg noodles in with it and possibly some potatoes/carrots for a stew.

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.


This looks promising, to me. How are the peppers that they offer? Do you use them?


I have never used their peppers.

Sorry about the delayed response. Don't check this thread often enough, I have been working too much.
