Question

i want a slow cooker recipe with the following criteria please :)
*takes 4hrs to cook
*ingredients for 2 people
*not expensive
*want to just dump everything in and leave it (i.e. no pan frying, stirring etc)

Answer 1

try a rump roast or bottom round or even a chuck roast( has more flavor, but it's fattier). Cut up an onion, couple of carrots. Salt and pepper to taste (a good blast of both), garlic cloves 1,2,3,4,5 whatever....depends on how much taste and garlic you like! and to make it real easy add some beef stock(you'll find that in the soup section of your local market. I would recommend that you brown the meat in a frying pan with seasonings first to seal in juices ( it only takes 5 mins) the dump it all in the crockpot on about 250 for a few hours and you'.ll have a nice tasting, easy meal. PRICE DEPENDS ON THE EXISTING MEAT PRICES IN YOUR AREA!!!! shouldn't be more the 10 bucks for 2 people. enjoy

Answer 3

Try the website listed below. It has some terrific slow cooker recipes. You will however convert the recipe to accommodate 2 people rather than the usual 4 or 6.

Hopefully this helps you out, and Bon Appetite.

Answer 4

Ok, you're gonn have to do some of the work yourself! Most recipes do not feed 2, so you need to divide the quantities to make it feed only 2.

Also, if a recipe calls for HIGH for so many hours, you an change it to LOW and double the time.
