Cooking Crock pot crazy

Tired of the same old thing for dinner? Planning a party and you don't know what to serve? Join the other "Foodies" on the DIS and swap recipies and cooking tips to make your next meal or party one to remember!
I have really enjoyed alot of the recipes posted here so I thought it was time I shared one or two with the rest you. I have made both of these a couple times and they always comes out great!

BBQ Beef Brisket
This recipe came from Allreceipes.com

4 lbs lean beef brisket
2 tablespoon Liquid Smoke flavoring
1 tablespoon onion salt
1 tablespoon garlic salt

Place brisket on a double layer of aluminum foil. I recommend placing the foil inside a baking dish then placing the brisket on top of the foil.
Pour Liquid Smoke over beef
Rub brisket with onion salt and garlic salt.
Roll brisket in foil and refrigerate at least 4 hours; preferably overnight.
The next morning place foil packet into crock pot. Cook on low 8-10 hours.
Remove foil packet from pot. Drain and reserve the juices.
Let brisket cool then slice. Return sliced brisket to crockpot to keep warm. Add some of the liquid to keep moist.

While brisket cools prepare the BBQ sauce. I am sure you could use a bottle of your favorite but this is really good and mixes up really quickly.

1 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar (I usually add more)
1 cup ketchup 3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup water
1/2 celery salt
1 tablespoon Liquid Smoke
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
salt and pepper to taste

In a medium saucepan, mix all ingredients. Stir and cook until boiling.

Serve the brisket topped with the BBQ sauce either as a sandwich on a roll or as an entree, pairedup with with cole slaw and some baked beans.

The other receipe that I make that never fails me is for Pulled Pork. Not sure where I got this recipe from possibly Fix it and Forget it.


Pulled Pork with Rootbeer Sauce
3 lb Pork Sirloin Roast
2-3 tablespoons veg. oil
Salt and Pepper
1 large onion roughly chopped.
1 can rootbeer soda
2 tablesppon minced garlic

Sauce:
2 cans rootbeer soda
1 bottle chile sauce
1/4 teaspoon rootbeer concentrate (optional and I have never used this)
Hot Pepper Sauce - to taste

Trim fat from meat if necessary. Pat with paper towels.
Season pork with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet or dutch oven, brown meat on all sides in hot oil.
Drain fat. Transfer meat ot crock pot.
Add onions, 1 can root beer and garlic.
Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours on low or 4-5 on High

Meanwhile for sauce, in a medium sauce pan combine the 2 remaining cans of rootbeer and the chile sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally about 30 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 2 cups. Add rootbeer concentrate and Hot Pepper Sauce, if desired.

Transfer roast to cutting board. Using slotted spoon remove onions from cooking juices and place on a serving platter. Reserve 1/2 - 1 cup of the cooking juice; discard the rest.
Using 2 forks, pull meat apart into shreds (it should be falling off the bone).

Mix shredded pork with the sauce and keep warm in crockpot . If you do this I reccommend adding some of the juice to keep everything moist, depending on how long it will remain in the pot. The juice has a lot of flavor and really seems to add to the taste.

If you prefer, serve pork immediatly on rolls and top with the sauce as desired.


Enjoy!
 
I just have to ask: where on earth do you buy the golden mushroom soup??? I have looked at 3 stores here in Oregon and all I can find is plain old mushroom soup??

I had never heard of it before, but I found it at my local stop and shop.

I think it might be those soup packets, I think it comes in a blue package. It is like that onion soup packet that you use to make the french onion dip with sour cream... I may be wrong though. :confused3
 

there is also a beefy mushroom soup that i use instead sometimes. i find it with the other cans of campbells soup. i haven't looked in the dry soups, but good suggestion.
 
OK haven't read much of this thread yet so I apologize if this has been posted, but this is a favorite of ours.

Swiss Chicken Casserole (not very healthy but yummy!)
4-5 boneless skinless chicken breasts (frozen works best)
4 slices swiss cheese
cream of mushroom soup
1/2 can milk
stuffing mix
stick of melted butter

Spray CP with cooking spray. Place chicken in bottom of crock pot, layering as necessary. Place swiss cheese slices over top. Mix mushroom soup with milk, adding spices to taste (I use garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper). Pour over chicken. Empty bag of stuffing on top. Pour melted butter over entire thing. Cover and cook on high 4 hrs, low 6-8 hrs. Tastes like Thanksgiving!
 
Don't think I saw this one posted yet...Meatloaf! I hated meatloaf until I tried this recipe!!

ground beef
1 box of stove top(chicken is good)
egg
cream of celery soup

mix beef, stove top and egg together. form into meatloaf "log" and place in slow cooker. top with cream of celery soup(add 2 cans if you want sauce to dip it in).
It always stays together, so you can slice it without it falling apart!!

Enjoy! My daughter always eats this without any complaints!!:cheer2:

Forgive me if this has been posted already...

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, does anyone I have a recipe for Corned Beef and Cabbage?

I've never made it before in a crock or in a pot. Do you just throw in the beef and the cabbage and let cook on low for 8 hours? Are there other ingredients?

Thanks.
 
Here is my recipe, I love it!

4 Med Red Potatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces
4 Med Carrots, cut into 1 inch peices
1 Med Onion, cut into 6 wedges
1 (2 - 2 1/2 pound) Corned Beef with seasoning packet
1 (12 ounce) can beer
8 Thin Wedges Cabbage
water

1) In slow cooker combine potatoes, carrots, and onion. Top with Corned Beef and sprinkle with seasoning (from packet). Add beer and enough water to just cover brisket.

2) Cover and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours

3) Remove Brisket and cover with foil. Add cabbage wedges to veggies and broth in the cooker, cover and cook on high for 30 to 35 mins or until crisp-tender.

4) eat!

Hope everyone likes this recipe!

Sorry I forgot to put the time I usually cook it for 8 hours on low while I'm at work, but you could probably do it faster on high..maybe four hours???

Sorry I forgot to post the time. I usually cook it for 8 hours while I'm at work. I'm sure you could do it faster on high maybe four hours.

Hope you like it, let me know how it turned out!!
 
I'm going to make it Sunday.

StaceyA, I made the corned beef and cabbage today. It was delicious. Big hit with the entire family, even my DS, Mr. Picky. He came downstairs about half way through cooking and said what are you making it smells good.

Got anything else as good?

Thanks again.
