Answer 9

I love doing shredded pork in my crock.
Use a pork shoulder or butt, season, put in your crock on high for about 4 hours or so, adding a can of coke and brown sugar after 2 hours. After the 4 or when it seems done, take out and shred, I cut mine into chunks and put in my food processor as it is much easier than using 2 forks. Put the shredded meat in a bowl, mix in your favorite BBQ sauce, mix through. Return to crock and heat through, serve with buns and pickles. Always a hit!

Answer 10

Make a stew. 4 pounds of beef or lamb cut into stew chunks, dredge in flour, put a stick of butter and 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil in the pot, and brown the meat on medium heat in batches; peel and cube 3 good sized idaho potatoes, 2 large yellow onions, and 5 good sized carrots, 12 garlic cloves, smashed; put into pot, put browned meat on top, add 2 packets of brown onion soup mix, 1 pint of Guiness Stout, 1 pint of Bass Ale, and 1/2 cup of burgundy wine; bring to a boil, cover, and set the heat low at a simmer; turn with a large spoon after 40 minutes, and every 10 minutes after that until done. Cooking time till done is 2 hrs. Serve on top of Roasted garlic mash potatoes and French fried onions.
