Great thread.  Here's mine...

- 5 lb. Brisket (covers the entire bottom of my crockpot)
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 jalapenos
- however many garlic cloves you want (I usually do about 5)
- 1 bottle of Sweet Baby Rays original (or your favorite BBQ sauce)
- S&P

Cut brisket across the grain at about 1 inch intervals and put strips of meat in crockpot.
Salt and pepper the meat to your liking.
Make garlic paste with the garlic cloves.
Chop up and caramelize (I use a bit of olive oil) the onions with the jalapenos and garlic.
Pour this onto the meat in the crockpot.
Pour the bottle of BBQ sauce on top of all of it.
High for 8 hours.

Shred and enjoy your BBQ sandwiches on your choice of bread.

Some of the recipes in this thread look amazing.  I plan to try at least one of them this weekend.

Thanks,

bluesticky

Wow!  I made this tonight.  Great stuff.  I pretty much doubled the recipe.  I think my crockpot is a little on the large side.

6 Chicken Breasts
2 packages of Italian Dressing
2 packages of cream cheese
2 cans of Cream of Chicken soup
1/2 can of water
1/2 large yellow onion
4 cloves of garlic crushed and chopped
1 carton of fresh mushrooms washed and sliced
~ 1 tbsp Kosher Salt and Freshly ground black pepper

Everybody, except mushrooms, into the pool and on high for 6 hours.  I put the mushrooms in the last 1.5 hours of cook time.  Awesome.  Thanks ZedHead for this!  Things I'll do different next time: caramelize the onions and roast the garlic.  Not because I think it will be better, just different.

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.


Made a double batch of this over the weekend. Added some frozen choppedd spinach just before serving over egg noodles. Everyone loved it. Thanks for the recipie.

For Zed or anybody else who's made this recipe...

Probably a stupid question, but is the cream of chicken soup prepared (water added), or full strength (condensed) from the can?  I know some recipes call for it without thinning...

Do dutch ovens count?

Preheat oven to 350-
-Short ribs (I used elk below)
-2 o3 three onions
-couple carrots
-couple sticks celery
-6 cloves garlic
-bottle of red wine
-1.5 cups port wine
-4-6 cups beef stock
-half can tomato paste
-herbs (I use rosemary, thyme, parsley and bay leaves)

Broil some short ribs...2 minutes bone side up followed by 8 meat side up. While you're doing this, have some onions, carrots, and celery going in your crock pot or dutch oven.

Add the red wine, port, and tomato paste. Let it come to a boil and add the meat. Add as much beef stock as it takes to cover the meat. Throw in your garlic and herbs. Put in the oven for 3 hours.

Yes, but did you add water, or use it full-strength from the can?   I ended up just kind of splitting the difference - just added enough water to the whole mix to get it to a consistency that looks reasonable to spoon over noodles or rice.  About a half hour to go, and I gotta say it smells pretty darn good!

Only real variation I made to Zed's original recipe was to brown the chicken breasts in a cast iron skillet first.

Sorry I've been.... Well you know....  Eating like a pig.

My pot has "Keep Warm", "Low", and "High" settings.

For the butterbeans, If I want them done in 12 or so hours, I set the pot to Low.   If I want them to be fucking awesome, I set it to "Keep Warm" and check them after the first 24 hours.  Then I keep them on "Keep Warm" for as long as they need.  

For me, cooking them on "Keep Warm" for the whole time has produced the best results.  Nice, tender beans with a deep flavor and a nice texture.  Not to mention .  You can take most of the gas out of them by adding a Tbsp or so of baking soda in there while they cook.

But where's the fun in that?  LOL

Well, finally got around to using my crock pot over the weekend. Simple recipie that turned out great and is super filling.

What you need:
15 been soup packet
1 thick cut ham steak
Tony Chachere Seasoning
Minced Garlic
Pepper
Tobasco
Cayenne Powder

Mix seasoning to taste, the cajun seasoning is quite salty, so there is always the salt free variety if you prefir.
Let the beans soak over night the day before, I left mine in the soak for a little over 24 hours, appeared plenty
plumped up after that.
I cut the ham steak into small pieces, just under a square inch, but it doesn't really matter.

Put everything into the pot and give it a few stirs to make sure it is all mixed together.
I just threw it on low and went to work, by the time I got home it smelled great , Figure a cook time 10 hours and some change.
YMMV, I'm sure just about anything over 8 hours would work plenty.
All this dish really needs is corn bread, or to be spread over some rice, very tasty.
And, just because some people are picky, you can substitute diced sausage for the ham steak.

Cook on low all day.

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.
 


A bit of brown sugar and some caraway seeds too ....

No idea if this is going to turn out or not.

I was going to say the beer adds plenty of tang (especially 2 bottles).  Be interested to see how the chicken broth & A1 works with it.  
 

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.
 

Was afraid of that.
 



I wonder if you used the gelatinized chicken stock blobs?  All of the flavor and no extra liquid?

Pulled this off the net last night and made it today for giggles. Holy Mackerel is it good. Tired of the old school ham hocks and bean recipes. This one is a keeper.

CROCK-POT BEAN SOUP
1 lb. white beans (Great Northern)
1 smoked ham hock or 1 lb. smoked ham, diced
1 c. celery, sliced
1 c. onion, chopped
1 c. carrots, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 (16 oz.) can stewed tomatoes
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can condensed tomato soup
Salt and pepper to taste

Soak beans overnight in 4 cups water. Combine all ingredients in crock pot. Add water to cover and mix well. Cover and cook on high setting 3 hours, turn to low setting and cook for 8 to 14 hours. Can be cooked entire time on high setting for 4 to 6 hours. Remove bay leaves when done.

This is my go to crock pot recipe, it makes plenty for me and it freezes well.

2-3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (frozen, thawed doesn't matter)
2 packets of taco seasoning
1 15 oz can seasoned black beans
1 14.5 oz can chicken broth
2 10 oz cans Ro-Tel
1 12 oz bag frozen corn

Kick it up with jalapenos, cayenne, habaneros etc.  

10 hours on low, pull the chicken and shred.  Put the chicken back in and cook on high for 30 minutes.  Serve over rice.

I prefer mine like soup, if you don't, drain the Ro-Tel and beans before adding.

I just redid my chili recipe for the crock pot.



2 large cans of whatever tomatoes you like.

1 little can of tomato paste.

one green onion

one yellow onion

some cayenne pepper powder to taste

cumin to taste.

boil a few cups of beans, let them soak, then add them (my first time cooking raw pinto beans. I think it turned out good).



The next is what I do. Substitute for bell peppers and anaheims if you are wimpy.

15 habanero peppers, diced

15 serrano peppers,diced

15 jalapeno peppers, diced

Fill to top of crock pot with pablano peppers, diced.



Optional: roast some anaheims, skin them, and dump them in.



I let this simmer on low all night and it turned out great.

You know there is a difference between Italian Dressing and Italian Seasoning.  I guess I wasn't really paying attention and came home from the store with the latter, this might be "interesting".



ETA: Turned out GREAT! Next time I'm going to add 1 more breast and use low sodium soup.  It was a little high in salt, I think due to the Italian Seasoning vs. Italian Dressing mix up.

We didn't drain the tomatoes. Added tortilla chips and some sour cream just before serving. Chicken tortilla soup.



Needs more liquid though. I guesstimated on the taco seasoning and chicken broth since we buy both powders in bulk. Came out a bit salty. Will have to adjust the recipe next time.

Made this one today, a variation of this recipe.

Italian Sausage Veggie Stew

1 pound hot Italian pork sausage
1 cup sliced carrots
2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 cubes
1 clove garlic
1 onion
2 14 1/2 ounce cans beef broth
1 15 ounce can garbanzo beans
1 14 1/2 ounce can pasta style chunky tomatoes, undrained
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 bay leaf
1 jalapeno (thought it could use a little kick)
grated fresh Parmesan cheese

In a large skillet brown sausage; drain. Place all ingredients into a crock pot, cover and cook on low 7 to 9 hours. Remove bay leaf. Serve with grated cheese.

The original was more soupy and I prefer a heartier stew, so I doubled the meat & potatoes and added an onion.

1/2 can of water
1/2 large yellow onion
4 cloves of garlic crushed and chopped
1 carton of fresh mushrooms washed and sliced

Everybody, except mushrooms, into the pool and on high for 6 hours.  I put the mushrooms in the last 1.5 hours of cook time.  Awesome.  Thanks ZedHead for this!  Things I'll do different next time: caramelize the onions and roast the garlic.  Not because I think it will be better, just different.

bluesticky



I tried this, except I didn't have any mushrooms so left them out.  I think high for 6 hours would be too long.  I had it on high for 4 and the chicken was already cooked through and easily shredded.

This did create a good amount of sauce - in fact I think I could have increased the chicken up to double this and still would have been fine.

After 4 hours, I took out the chicken and used a stick blender to make the sauce creamy and well blended (per advice of previous poster), then shredded the chicken with two forks, and dumped it back into the crockpot.  Put it on the "warm" setting and let it sit for about an hour or so until it was dinner time.

I served over rice, but I think it would also go well with noodles.

I'm thinking next time I'll only use one packet of Italian dressing, maybe one and a half, and I'm thinking of swapping out one can of cream of mushroom for the cream of chicken.

My wife took some of the leftovers to work today and by lunchtime she had sent me a text asking for the recipe to share with coworkers, so I think it was a hit!

Very simple and cost effective to make - maybe $15 for everything and it provides plenty of food.

I just decided to give this one a shot. I added cilantro and diced habaneros. Sure smells good!




ETA: This was fantastic. It is now added to my regular cycle of batch cooking.

Haven't tried this yet but it looks good.




CROCKPOT BLACK-EYED PEAS OR HOPPIN JOHN





Posted on December 28, 2011 by The Southern Lady





It
has been a tradition to serve black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day in our
family for many years. Serving this dish along with cabbage is supposed
to bring you good luck and financial enrichment. This soup is also good
in the summer and fall using fresh garden vegetables.



1 (16 oz bag) dried black-eyed peas (you could use canned black-eyed peas)


1 (16 oz can) chicken broth


1 ham hock or one cup diced, cooked ham


1 clove of garlic minced


1 cup diced celery


1 small onion, chopped


1 (16 oz) can diced tomatoes (optional)


1 (16 oz) can chopped okra (optional)(can use frozen okra)


Salt and Pepper to taste


Water



Rinse peas, add to crockpot with enough water to cover all
ingredients. Add chicken broth, ham, garlic, celery and onion, salt and
pepper. (If you just want black-eyed peas, stop here with recipe and
cook on high for 4 hrs. or low for 7 hrs. or until peas and celery are
cooked). The tomatoes and okra can be added half way into the cooking
for a recipe more like Hoppin John.



You could also make this in a pot on top of the stove. Just cut the cooking time until the black-eyed peas are tender.



This makes a meal by itself served with cornbread. You can also serve this over rice.

The crock pot o' love:



Slab o' meat (I prefer pork tenderloin)

can mild green chilies

can hot jalapenos

canned enchilada sauce (enough to cover it all)

taco seasoning (to taste)

black beans 1 - 2 cans based on preference




throw it all in there for 8 - 10 hours

last half hour pull meat out and shred

put meat back in crock pot

add rice and a little extra water (you could just make rice and skip this step but it's better with the rice soaking up the enchilada sauce)




Once rice is done devour with hot sauce, chips/tortilla, and cheese

Add this all into your crock pot, set it to low heat, and let it go. 6 hours later and you have a delicious meal. My minor contribution to the cause.

Roasts were on sale for $2.99/lb this week.  I picked up four and one will be used in this recipe this weekend.

If DH gets a deer this year I also want to try it with a venison roast.

ETA: This is an awesome recipe.  I did two 2.5 pound roasts at once.  Froze one afterward for a night when I get home from work and need something quick and good for dinner.  Now I really want to try it with venison.

I wrap brats with bacon (held with tooth picks) put them in the crock pot, pour sweet baby rays on it til they're all covered and then slice up a white onion to throw in the mix, cook it on high for 4 or 5 hours. Don't go stabbing them al to Hell with a fork either, the toothpicks do well enough and the brats flavor will be over powered by the BBQ sauce.

Bumping for some wisdom on a venison ham roast. Approx 5 lbs.

With the low fat content of venison, I struggle in the tender department. I've cubed with fair results, but looking for a better solution.

This is how I do my venison roasts:

1 Venison roast 3-5 lbs
2 onions
5-6 cloves of garlic
1 lb baby carrots
1-2 lbs potatoes
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 tbs cayenne pepper
2 cups of a good red wine (pinot noir or shiraz)

Since venison is so low in fat, brown all sides before you put it into your crock.  Slice up the onions and put about half in the bottom of your crock.  Place the roast on top and cover the roast with the rest of the onions.  I usually throw the garlic in whole but you can smash it or dice it if you want.  Add your salt, pepper and cayenne.  Pour the wine in and set to low for 6 hours.  I usually put the carrots and potatoes in a couple hours before I'm ready to eat and turn up the heat to high.

boil a few cups of beans, let them soak, then add them (my first time cooking raw pinto beans. I think it turned out good).

The next is what I do. Substitute for bell peppers and anaheims if you are wimpy.
15 habanero peppers, diced
15 serrano peppers,diced
15 jalapeno peppers, diced
Fill to top of crock pot with pablano peppers, diced.

Optional: roast some anaheims, skin them, and dump them in.

I let this simmer on low all night and it turned out great.
 


WTF, dude...            No meat?            And you have beans in there????


Welcome to NC.

Sounds defuckinglicious, except it has NO MEAT in it.

That chili sounds hot as two billygoats fucking in a pepper patch.  Neither of them have meat.

I want to try it...With some meat.  The chili, not the billy goats.

I'm a couple hours from you, but there's a bunch of NC tards that are there in the Triangle.  You should do a "Come get some chili, rednecks!" night.  Hopefully it will be on a weekend, so I can attend.

Hopefully you will add some meat to the recipe.

I forgot about the two pounds of ground beef. Can't forget that!
