Just made this one over the weekend.
Will need: Head of cabbage 1 or 2 leeks Carrots 3 potatoes 1 large onion, I went with yellow Chicken broth Salt Pepper Caraway seeds Sour Cream/Cream Fraiche 1 lb bacon Parsley Peel and chop up the potatoes. I went with irregular sizes. Wash and dice up the leek(s). Finely chop the onion. Rough chop on the carrots, I used 3. Chop up about half of the head of cabbage. Add all of these to the crock pot with 4 cups of chicken broth. Salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 tsp of the caraway seeds, more if you like the flavor. Turn it on high, and find something to do for the next 3 1/2 hours. During the last 30 minutes, cook up the entire pound of bacon, nice and crispy and then dice it up. Dice up a large amount of parsley. Dump both into the crock pot. Take around 1/2 cup of sour cream, maybe a bit more and add to the crock pot, give everything a good mix and let it simmer for another 15 minutes or so. Ladle into some bowls and be ready for a nap afterwards. May need to add a half cup to a cup of warm water about half way through. ETA: You can follow the same recipe, but turn the crock on low and just double the time so it is cooking for 7-8 hours, depends on how much time you have. |

Carnitas
1 tablespoon chili powder 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 teaspoons dried oregano 2 teaspoons salt, or more, to taste 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 4 pound pork shoulder, excess fat trimmed 4 cloves garlic, peeled 2 onions, quartered 2 oranges, juiced 2 limes, juiced INSTRUCTIONS In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Season pork loin with spice mixture, rubbing in thoroughly on all sides. Place garlic, onions, orange juice, lime juice and seasoned pork shoulder into a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours. Remove pork shoulder from the slow cooker and shred the meat before returning to the pot with the juices; season with salt and pepper, to taste, if needed. Cover and keep warm for an additional 30 minutes. Preheat oven to broil. Place carnitas onto a baking sheet and broil until crisp and crusted, about 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately. It's still cooking right now, but it smells freaking amazing. I added some chipotle in adobo too, which is why it's so red

I finally settled on a chili recipe that is somewhat reminiscent of the stuff I used to get at restaurants as a kid.
5 red peppers (medium to large size, mild). 5 chipotle peppers. 3 cups of water. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 2 tablespoons garlic powder. (I love garlic, you may want less). 1 tablespoon cumin (this is unique, I just really love cumin). 4 pounds cubed beef roast. Dredge the beef cubes in flour and brown. In a pot, simmer the dried peppers in the water. In a blender, add the spices. Pour the peppers and water into the blender. Puree. The spices get evenly mixed in. Put the beef in the crock pot on low, add the chili puree on top. It still isn't quite as thick as I'd like, but it is a lot thicker than the last recipe I put in. I have also tried adding two tablespoons of flour to the blender instead, which also seemed to work okay. If you're cheap you can sub in pinto beans, and if you have meat that's going bad, you can use whatever. I've used the chili paste with chicken, pork, ground beef cubed beef, beans and hominy. It all tastes good. |

Quote HistoryI have yet to get crock pot pinto beans to turn out right. The ones near the top of the water are usually underdone. I just boil them separately in a pot until done (usually four hours). I add cooked beans to the meat/chili paste immediately.
Try this one. Pinto beans in a crock pot 3 cups picked and washed pinto beans 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? ) Cover with about 1/2 inch or more of water depending on how much "soup" you want with the beans. Cook on high for the first hour and then on low for at least 4 more hours. |

Got this from my ladyfriend.
Stewed Mushrooms 3 "crates" of regular mushrooms 1 stick of butter (maybe 3/4) 2 packets of "zesty" Italian dressing mix (dried) Throw the butter in and get it warming. When it's melted throw in the spices and the mushrooms and toss around. Wait five hours with it on low. Very simple and very good. With the leftovers, I toss the whole mushrooms in with my bacon and fry a little bit before adding eggs. Likewise the cooled butter and liquid make a great rice or other sauce. |

I make this one at least once a month. I serve it over creamy parm polenta. It's equally delicious over some mashed potatoes.
http://www.eatliverun.com/slow-cooker-beef-short-ribs-in-cabernet-sauce/ Short Ribs Ingredients 2 ½ cups Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon 3 ½ lbs beef chuck short ribs 2 whole shallots, minced 3 stalks celery, diced 2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 cup beef broth 3 tbsp brown sugar 2 tbsp tomato paste 1 ½ tbsp all purpose flour 1 1/2 tsp salt, divided 1 tsp pepper, divided Directions Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. When hot, add the short ribs. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the ribs in the pan and brown. This will take about three to four minutes per side. You want them very nice and caramelized. After the ribs have browned, remove from carefully and set them at the bottom of your slow cooker. Take the pan off the heat briefly to cool down, then return to medium heat and add the minced shallots and diced celery. Sauté for about five minutes until tender, then add the tomato paste. Mash the tomato paste into the veggies using a rubber spatula and continue to sauté on medium heat for another four minutes. Pour the wine and the beef broth into the skillet and stir. Add the brown sugar, a teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of pepper and the flour. Stir well to get rid of any flour clumps. Bring sauce to a boil, then to a simmer. Pour sauce right over ribs in the slow cooker. Sprinkle remaining salt and pepper on top. Place lid on slow cooker and cook on HIGH for seven to eight hours or on LOW for 11-12 hours. When done, the meat should literally be falling off the bone. |

Cooked this today, the tacos came out really well. All the chuck roasts at the store were tiny, so I ended up with a Sirloin Tip roast. Not sure if that makes a difference or not. |

As with any beans, you will have better luck soaking them in salt water the night before or you could have issues with proper done-ness. For a more Tex-Mex version, I usually just use seasoned salt and chicken stock (powdered) and lots of thinly sliced japalpenos, chili powder and cumin. I prefer the beans very soft, and if it's too thin I just take out 2 cups worth and puree them with a stick blender. |

amazing bread. Yes it is, especially with crock pot soups and stews. I make it all the time over the winter. I've also substituted 1 cup of wheat or rye flour for a cup of the white flour with excellent results. |

As far as thickening the gravy is concerned: Here's a fool-proof way I've learned from a chef: Mix about 1 cup of flour with 3/4 cups of vegetable oil and make a blonde roux. Let cool, then use a 1 Tbsp measure to distribute into an ice cube tray. Freeze, then put in a zip-loc bag in the freezer. Voila - you have instant roux any time you want to thicken a gravy. 2-3 of the cubes did the trick here after I added some more water to make a total of 2 cups of delicious gravy. I'm just starting through this thread, but that's a bit of solid gold right there. *hooks up printer* Thanks for sharing that. Kitties |

Pop the meat on tortillas and garnish as you wish. OMG that looks good. I've tried a few recipes for carnitas and always been disappointed. This is going on the list to try asap. |

I like it a lot. It didn't take long at all. I don't care for packaged, bottled, dried, canned sauces as the sodium content is crazy. I like recipes where I control the ingredients. |

I make this about once a month. It's nothing fancy, but it sticks to your ribs.
1 lb pinto or whatever beans you prefer soaked overnight 1 lb bacon, chopped into 1 inch pieces 1 yellow onion, chopped A handful of Guero chilis sliced into rings 3-4 chopped carrots 1 can stewed tomatoes 1 small can tomato sauce 2 tsp oregano 1 tsp thyme Salt & pepper to your liking Enough chicken broth to cover the whole mess Drain and rinse the soaked beans, put it all in the pot, set to low, and go away for about 8-10 hours. |

I made Zed's Italian cream cheese chicken way back on page one and needed a quick refresher.

This morning I made Italian beef with some shoulder, beef broth, a 16oz jar of pepperocinis, and a packet of Italian dressing mix.
It tastes great, but I think the peppers overwhelmed the Italian flavoring because I can't really taste it at all. I did use some chopped ones this time so I wouldn't have to remove the stems... seemed to work great. |

Just tried this a few days ago and the flavor was damn good. A little salty for me, but I served it potato buns and it was good.

This thread is awesome! So I have a dumb question, but don't want to screw up this recipe.
Going to cook Zed's chicken recipe, and it states 1 can of cream of chicken, do I also add 1 cup of water (per the directions on the can) or just the can by itself?

When I was still a bachelor, I'd take a chunk of roast big enough to almost fill the crock-- chunk up enough mushrooms (champignons or Criminis) to cover the top of the meat (they help keep the top of the roast moist as they cook down), throw in a half bottle of beer, fire it off on Auto and go to work. By the time you get home it's falling apart and the smells are unbelieveable.

Ok, so I used a full can of water with the cream of chicken, also picked up some cream of asparagus and cream of celery to try in the future. Also going to see if it's any different with some chicken thighs from Costco.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Zedhead: A cheap meal we make once every 2 weeks or so: Italian Cream Cheese Chicken Chicken breasts Package of Italian Dressing Block of cream cheese Cream of chicken soup Onion (if you have one, don't need it) 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. |

If I were looking to bump up this recipe a bit, I would: - make sure to use high-quality ground beef. Goes contrary to the "Poor Man" theme, but run of the mill grocery store ground beef is pretty blah. Ground sirloin would boost up the beef flavor a bit. - replace at least half the water in the recipe with a good chicken stock (yes, chicken...) - just personal taste, but I'd go way up on the black pepper... like to a full teaspoon or so. I like pepper.
