Another loin of pork recipe -
Salt and pepper the pork then cover it with apple juice and cook on low. When you are ready to eat drain almost all of the juice and add any bbq sauce you like. As you mix in the sauce pull the pork apart with two forks. It is delicious!!

My ALL TIME Favorite Beef Stew

3lbs stew meat in 1" cubes
6 carrots cut into 1/2" chunks
4 potatoes peeled and cubed
1 lg. onion quartered and sliced
2 lg. garlic cloves minced
1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix (or Beefy Onion)
3/4 c. ketchup
1 tbs. soy sauce
3 tbs. cornstarch
2 cups water + 3 tbs.

Place beef (you don't have to brown it first), carrots, potatoes, onions, and garlic in Crock Pot. In bowl whisk together water, onion soup mix, ketchup, and soy sauce. Pour over beef and vegetables. Toss to combine. Cover and cook on low setting for 6-8 hrs.

After everything is cooked transfer the meat and veggies to a bowl. Increase Crock Pot to high heat setting and skim the fat from the sauce. Which together cornstarch and 3 tbs. water to make a paste. Stir mixture into the stew sauce and cook 15 min. until thickened. Return meat and veggies to the pot, mix well, heat through, and serve.

-------------------------------------------------

Homemade Chicken Soup

1 package split chicken breasts with skin and bones
A few large carrots sliced into "pennies"
A few stalks of celery
1 or 2 large onions sliced up
Parsley, salt and pepper to taste
Chicken bouillon cubes (3-4)

Place chicken in Crock Pot. Add all the veggies and seasonings, and cover with water. Cook on low until chicken falls from the bone. (about 8 hrs) Pull the chicken out. Remove all skin and bones. Shread the chicken in big pieces and put back in pot. On the stove boil either large egg noodles or orzo pasta and serve with the chicken soup. DON'T add the pasta to the soup directly, it will absorb ALL the liquid. Add pasta directly to your bowl and cover with soup.

-----------------------------------------------

Italian Tomato Sauce

About 1-2 lbs. sweet Italian sausage with fennel
4 lg. cans crushed tomatoes
Crushed garlic - a few cloves
Parsley, salt and pepper to taste
Frozen fresh basil cubes (in freezer section)
Olive oil

Brown the sausage and cook mostly through on the stove. Remove sausage and saute onion until translucent and soft. About 10 min. Add garlic and saute for another minute. Transfer ALL the oil, fat, sausage bits, onions and garlic from the pan to the Crock Pot. Add all the tomatoes and seasonings. Add in the sausage and let the sauce cook for a good 8-10hrs. on low. The longer you let it cook the better and richer it tastes. Add any additional seasoning as necessary.
