Answer 2

One of my favorites that I make alot is a recipe that came with a 3 1/2 qt. crock pot I bought--this is the basic, but I always add a parsnip and green beans, and add more carrots, celery, and canned diced tomatoes, until the ingredients are about an inch from the top of the pot:

Beef Vegetable Soup:

1 lb. appr. 1 inch cubed beef stew meat (or a little more if fits)
2 carrots, sliced (I double)
2 stalks celery, sliced (I double)
1 can diced tomatoes with juice (calls for smaller can, I get lg. one & add more)
1 russet potato-peeled and cubed (appr 1/2" cubes)
1 tbs. dried parsley ( add a bit more)
1/2 tsp. dried thyme (don't over-do this)
1 md. onion, coursely chopped
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 cup water
(Not in original recipe, but I like to add a lg. or 2 sm. parsnips-great in soup!, and some fresh or frozen green beans)

Combine everything in crock pot and cook according to directions--usually 5 hrs. on high or 10 on low

Carmelized Pork Carnitas

1½ lbs boneless pork butt or shoulder

½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp cumin
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Roast

Put a pot roast or oven roast in your crock pot. Add a can of cream of mushroom soup, a packet of Lipton onion soup mix, a can or 2 of water. Cook on high for about 8-10 hours or until tender (fork goes in easy and meat separates). Can be eaten as is or put on french rolls for beef dip sandwiches w/ Au Jus sauce (package) for dipping.

BBQ beef sandwiches

Same as above recipe except add a bottle of BBQ sauce in place of the the soups and water. Serve on french rolls.

Best-ever Beef Stew

1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 large potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 to 1 1/2 cups peeled and diced rutabaga (about 1/2 small rutabaga)
1 cup fresh green beans, in bite-size pieces
1 pound beef stew-meat chunks
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 clove garlic, crushed
3 cups low-sodium beef stock
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Pepper to taste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons tomato paste


Step 1
Put everything but the flour and the tomato paste in a slow cooker; stir to combine.

Step 2
Cover and cook on the low setting for 8 to 9 hours or on high for 4 to 5, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are just fork tender.

Step 3
Stir the stew once or twice as it cooks, if possible. About 30 minutes before serving, transfer a ladleful of the broth to a small mixing bowl.

Step 4
Add the flour and tomato paste and whisk until smooth. Stir the mixture into the stew and cook for the remaining half hour. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Answer 6

put a pork loin and about a half a can of beer in the crock pot and cook it on low for about 8 hours - it's done when the meat pulls apart easily with a fork. add bbq sauce and serve it on a bun!

Answer 7

Since you are new at cooking I'm going to let you in on a secret.

EVERYTHING turns out great in a crock pot--don't really stress recipes.

You can take any meat and any sauce and cook it in there and it comes out great . ( chicken and tomato sauce, pork and barbeque sauce) You can brown a roast and put it in there with veggies and a little water and it would turn out great.

Cook your spaghetti sauce or chili in there, too!!
