Answer 2

Do I?
I love my crock pot.

One of my favorites:

French Dip Sandwiches Au Jus

1 bottom round roast (i usually do 3-4 pounds)
1 package dry onion soup mix
2 cans beef broth
1 can/bottle (12 oz) dark beer

Put everything together in the crock pot and cook on low setting for 6 hours. Take the meat out and pull it apart (it will be very easy). Put the meat back into the juice and allow to cook for 1/2 hour more. Toast any type of roll you like ( usually a baguette or demi baguette works well) with a little butter on top. Put the meat on it like a sandwich serve with a little cup of the "juice" from the crock for dipping.

It even makes great leftover cold sandwiches. And I love using the leftover juice to make french onion soup.
ENJOY!

Answer 3

Any combination of meat and veggies is great. Throw a store-bought marinated pork tenderloin in with some whole white mushrooms, some new potatoes cut into quarters, a couple of sliced carrots, some peeled garlic cloves, and whatever combination of seasonings sound good. I'll also pour in about a 1/4 cup of liquid: wine, veggie broth, and/or Worcestershire Sauce are great choices.
If you want to, onion is a great addition - just put it in about halfway through the cook time, or it's liable to get too soft and mushy.

Answer 4

Real easy - 2-4 lb pork tenderloin roast (you can also use a beef bottom round roast) seasoned (S&P, Etc), 1 can cola (not diet) - 1 package of Lipton Onion Soup Mix. That's it - cook on low for 6-8 hours and there it is! You will have a nice flavored liquid tomake gravy with.

Answer 5

This is my easiest one. It's for corned beef brisket.

1 corned beef brisket
2-3 potatoes, quartered
1 red onion, quartered
2-3 Tbsp minced garlic from a jar
3-5 bay leaves
1 beer
6 cups of water

Put the brisket in the crock and sprinkle the seasoning packet over it. Toss in the potatoes and onion, garlic, bay leaves, pour the beer in, then the water. Cook on high all day. It turns out so tender and good.

Answer 6

My best & easiest thing to cook is cabbage soup.
1 lb ground beef browned off
1 small head cabbage shredded
1 large onion sliced thinly
1 small bell pepper sliced thinly
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 large can beef broth (I save juices from roasts and things and use instead if I can)
1 can Red kidney beans
Pour all into crock pot and stir, season well and cook on low 8 hours or until cabbage is tender. You may need to add some water or more broth to get liquid almost to top.

Answer 7

Busy Day Chicken

Ingredients-
1 (4 pound) whole chicken
1 1/2 cups prepared barbecue sauce

Preparation-
Cook for 8 to 10 hours on low setting. It is not a good idea to check it, as steam escapes and it takes quite awhile to reheat.

Answer 8

Get you an oven roaster, season it with seasoning salt, garlic powder, pepper and a cut up onion. Let it simmer on low for at least 3hrs. You'll never put a bird in the oven again .GUARANTEED. Do the same thing with a pot roast.
