Re: Crock pot recipes

I need some too now that the weather is cooler. I usually do soups, chili or beef stew only.

I saw the campbells pouches for pulled pork and pot roast the ingredients looked fairly healthy. Has anyone tried that

Beef Barley Soup

Re: Crock pot recipes

I'm still on the fence about my slow cooker. I won't leave the house for an extended period with it on.

I like to brown my meat and veggies, feel that it gives the dish more flavor. If I'm going to do that, I might as well just finish cooking on the stovetop or in the oven.

I've done pulled pork - really easy, just pork shoulder, a bottle or 2 of bbq sauce and cook on low about 8 hours.

Re: Crock pot recipes

Believe it or not. One of my favorites is chicken cutlet parm. If you're ok with jar sauce.
I've made it a few times and it's so good!

Chicken Parm

Re: Crock pot recipes

Trying this one tonight so I can't say yet how it turns out but I always like the recipes on this blog.
chicken and corn chowder

A few other favorites:
brown sugar balsamic pork loin

Chicken tikka masala

Also, pulled pork. I just do a pork butt and a sliced onion with root beer. Cook a loooong time, 10 hours or so for a big one. Drain the liquid and stir the meat back in with your favorite bbq sauce.

I used to do meatballs with spaghetti squash. Add a jar of sauce, frozen meatballs, and a jar of sauce. After 3-4 hours on high you can shred the squash and top with the meatballs and sauce. I stopped making it bc target stopped carrying the meatballs we liked.

I do pot roast but usually just look at a few recipes and then do a mish mosh. Brown the meat if you have time. Add that with an onion and carrots, garlic, beef stock, whatever spices you like.

Thank you all!

Butternut Squash Soup:

This is cooking as we speak in the crock pot.
I do have some modifications. I hate Vegetable broth; so I used Beef Broth. Instead of Coconut Milk I will use 1/2 and 1/2 with a smidgeon tiny drop of Coconut Oil for flavor. I also omitted the sage. I will be serving this with Olive Bread (bought at North Shore Farms).

But here is the recipe:


Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Soup

This slow cooker butternut soup is rich, creamy, and full of delicious butternut flavor. It's also naturally vegan and gluten-free.

Prep Time: 15 mins

Cook Time: 4 hours

Total Time: 4 hours 15 mins
Ingredients:

2 cups vegetable stock
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and diced
1 medium (uncooked) butternut squash, peeled, seeded and diced
1 sprig fresh sage
1 white onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper, or more to taste
1/8 teaspoon cayenne, or more to taste
pinch of ground cinnamon and nutmeg
1/2 cup canned coconut milk
optional garnishes: extra coconut milk and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper (or smoked paprika)

Directions:

Add vegetable stock, garlic, carrot, apple, butternut squash, sage, onion, salt, pepper, cayenne, cinnamon and nutmeg to a slow cooker. Toss to combine.

Cook for 6-8 hours on low, or 3-4 hours on high, or until the squash is completely tender and mashes easily with a fork. Remove and discard the sage. Stir in the coconut milk.

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. (Or you can transfer the soup in two batches into a traditional blender, and puree until smooth, being very careful when working with the hot liquid.) Taste, and season with additional salt, pepper and cayenne if needed.

Serve warm, with optional garnishes if desired.

Sauce for pasta, beef stew, chicken soup, chili, chicken fajitas, pulled pork, veggie soup.

Re: Crock pot recipes

Chicken stew with dumplings (you could do without the dumplings). Easy to make....2 cups of chicken broth, 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, carrots, peas, celery, a few chicken breasts. Salt and pepper then cook on low for like 6 hours. If I'm adding the dumplings I just use biscuit dough and drop it in about an hour before it's all done cooking. My kids LOVE this!

I also make pot roast in it, or pork tenderloin with carrots and potatoes. Super easy!!
