Answer 2

This is an amazing recipe for pork - it's economical and is scaled to serve 12. It tastes just like a pig cooked in Hawaii at a luau, and no one will ever guess how easy it is to make! Serve it on Hawaiian rolls, and provide some coleslaw and/or barbecue sauce for people to throw on top.

Kalua Pig in a Slow Cooker

INGREDIENTS
1 (6 pound) pork butt roast
1 1/2 tablespoons Hawaiian sea salt
1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring

DIRECTIONS
Pierce pork all over with a carving fork. Rub salt then liquid smoke over meat. Place roast in a slow cooker.

Cover, and cook on Low for 16 to 20 hours, turning once during cooking time.

Remove meat from slow cooker, and shred, adding drippings as needed to moisten.

I'll give you the link to the recipe website, as there are some good suggestions in the reviews section (different cooking times, use less salt if you don't have Hawaiian Sea Salt, etc.). It's close to the best thing I've ever eaten - I don't think you'll be sorry!

Answer 3

5-6 lb. of beef chuck roast
3 carrots, chopped in large chunks
1 large onion, quartered
2 bay leaves
4 large garlic cloves smashed
2 ribs celery, cut in large chunks
1 large bottle of favorite BBQ sauce, I use Sweet Baby Rays spicy Honey

In a large stock pot add all ingredients except the BBQ sauce, and just cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover, and turn down heat to a simmer. Let beef simmer for about 2 1/2 hours, or until meat begins to fall apart easily. Remove meat from pot reserving the cooking liquid. Let cool briefly, then begin to "pull" the beef with 2 forks, resulting in a shredded beef. Add the pulled beef to a large bowl. Add BBQ sauce, and enough of the cooking liquid to give the beef a "cole slaw" look. I add about 1 cup of the cooking liquid along with the BBQ sauce. I then place the beef in a foil pan so it can be heated up on the grill, and serve on toasted hamburger buns. It is the best! Enjoy!

Answer 4

Answer 5

It might not have vegitables, but it still knocks people's socks off. Try making chicken-fried lamb chops. You can leave them large or cut them into more drum-stick-ish shapes. Dip them in flour, then in buttermilk, then in the flour again. Then fry them up in hot oils like fried chicken and off you go!
