[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I have no idea how to cook stuff in my new crock pot

Posted: 11/20/2012 2:45:41 PM EDT

For $4 plus tax, you'd expect some recipes or something.

Looks like it might barely fit my can of beans.

What am I supposed to cook with this thing?

Can of hormel hot no beans and a pack of cream cheese, heat it up and mix. Makes a tasty dip for tortilla chips.

I think it would be best suited to small doses of carnivore queso for football games. (Cooked ground beef, cheese and diced chilies for chips!)

Or maybe a potpourri heater.

Just add salt!

Mix 1 can of refined beans with one can of un-drained Rotel.

Heat in your micro-crock.

Top with shredded cheese and serve with tortilla chips.

Win.

Speed

That's not a crock pot, that's a crock mug.

On my way but I'm not sure how realistic some will be. This thing is Barbie-dreamhouse sized.

With some additions, that sounds pretty good. I'd probably add a large diced yellow onion, hatch or jalapeño chiles, spices to taste, browned ground beef, spices, hot sauce and lots of fresh chopped garlic and cilantro. Maybe throw in a batch of refritos for body and drape, it's not like you're making chili, just dip so, beans are OK in this application..

I never tried it but I'm sure you could add stuff. My sister uses hormel turkey chili no beans when she makes it for get togethers and its good too. never thought of adding stuff myself may have to try it.

Did you see OP's Crock Pot? He'd be lucky to get the entire can of beans in there.

Seriously, are you sure that's a crock pot, and not the warmer that comes with some crock pots?

Add meat, vegetables, salt, pepper, and top if off with beer. Throw in some butter or something if the meat is really lean. Turn it on before you leave for work.

Eat when you get home.

Never cook with water. Never. Water is evil.

edit: I also own a single-serving crock pot. I use it pretty frequently.

So crock pots are smaller in Texas, take it back and get a bigger one.

You could have a bowl of oatmeal for morning. Maybe some queso for 1-maybe 2 people. A cup of soup 5 hours after you're hungry. The options are limitless.

Why would anyone buy a crockpot that small?

Pick up a copy of this book, more crock pot recipes than you'll ever use.

All you do is cut up a bunch of stuff you have in the refrigerator in the morning and put it in the crock pot; when you get home, presto, you have tender virttles.

I see your trying to make gumbo?

That size crocks are made to keep dip hot. Off the top of my head;

Look a the buffalo chicken dip recipe on the back of a franks red hot bottle

get some good smoked Gouda for Gouda dip

Make spinach artichoke dip.

But essentially, you're better off with a man sized crock

That thing isn't even big enough to make a single serving CP dish in.

Is it a rice cooker?

In that crock pot? Nothing. Too damn small. Need a bigger one.

I make spaghetti sauce and pot roast in mine. Pulled BBQ pork is also great in the crock pot.

2-3lbs pork
Your favorite BBQ sauce
8-10 hours (I turn mine on when I leave for work)
Dump grease, add more sauce
30 mins more
Win.

You could probably do a simple chicken breast and bbq sauce for bbq chicken.

Throw that thing out and get a decent sized one.

You going Metro-sexual with a potpourri simmer pot.?Thats what Lady Steel uses that for.

I use one to melt wax in for my leatherwork. Much easier than a double boiler
