Cooking Crock pot crazy

[StaceyA]

Something I have been making alot in my crock pot is BBQ Beef.

I buy a 3 to 4 pound roast of beef (any kind) and put it into the crock pot, I add 4 or 5 bottles of any kind of BBQ sauce, (I usually get a few regular BBQ bottles and a few of Honey BBQ or with Garlic) enough to cover the roast, and then add one can of beer (again any kind)

Let it cook on Low for 12 hours.
Take out the meat and Pull it apart with a fork.

This is sooo easy and sooo yummy!

I usually buy rolls, slice, butter them and add some garlic powder to them and put them under the broiler to make garlic rolls, and we also sauté mushrooms and onions to put on top of the meat in the sandwich.

I just realized from reading this thread over again that I never posted my Beef Stew Recipe....


INGREDIENTS:
3 pounds beef stew meat
1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, with juice
1 cup chopped celery
4 carrots, sliced
3 potatoes, cubed
3 onions, chopped
3 1/2 tablespoons tapioca
2 cubes beef bouillon
3/4 cup red wine
2 cups water
1 Package of Frozen Peas
1 Package of Frozen Corn

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

DIRECTIONS:

Place beef, tomatoes, celery, carrots, potatoes, onions, tapioca, and bouillon into the Crock, stir in red wine and water.
Cover and cook for 8 hours on Low, then add the Frozen Peas and Corn and cook for another 30 mins.

I add Wondra (or flour) to thicken after it is done cooking.

The original recipe for this called for only 1/4 cup of wine but I added more
You can make your own decision on that one!

And you can bet that my crock pot is going with me!!!! Come back to the cabin with a home cooked meal in the crock pot!

OUTSTANDING!!

but I can't find it. I'll be home alone Thanksgiving this year and bought a fresh 3 pound breast. Does anyone have a recipe to cook it in the crock pot?

Linda, I never made this recipe, but found it in a crock pot cookbook that I have, it sounds good. It says the gravy has a mild wine flavor. Joyce

Turkey Roast Chablis

3/4 c. dry white wine
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 3 - 3 1/2 lb boneless turkey roast
1 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/3 c. light cream or milk
2 T. cornstarch
1/8 tsp. salt

In crock pot combine wine, onion, garlic, and bay leaf. If turkey is wrapped in netting, remove and discard. If gravy packet is included, remove and refrigerate for another use. Combine rosemary and pepper. Rub roast with rosemary mixture. Place turkey in cooker.

Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 10 - 12 hours or on high for 4 1/2 - 5 1/2 hours. Remove roast and keep warm. For gravy, strain cooking juices; discard solids. Skim fat from juices. Measure 1 1/3 c. juices into a small saucepan. Combine cream or milk, cornstarch, and salt; stir into juices. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more.

Slice turkey roast. Spoon some gravy over roast. Makes 6 - 8 servings.

(Not recommened for 1 quart cooker)

I thought that turkey breast in the crockpot recipe was in this crockpot thread somewhere. I think it was really simple like just sprinkling dry onion soup on it and putting it in the crockpot. I haven't tried it but plan to someday.

hi there, this is all i found for Turkey Breast on this thread, I found it on page one:

By the way, turkey breast are GREAT cook in there upside down...very moist! Layer hamburger, potatoes, onion slices and cream of mushroom soup...very good!

and a search revealed no recipes. I think I'll try the one from Twigs - it looks yummy, doesn't it?

Edited to say - May not be a big deal to the rest of you, many of whom have several, but I am thrilled to note - I have a tag! Thank you, Tag Fairy!

I went to that site and even signed up but still can't access the recipe - I think I'll make the one twigs posted AND add mushrooms like the illustration on this one. Thanks Stacey!

Ok...this isn't even a recipe...I just take a whole chicken and put it in the crockpot with 1-2 cans of flavored diced tomatoes. (whatever flavor you want). I leave it all day when I'm at work on low. When I get home, I shred the chicken and we put it in flour tortillas with lots of shredded cheese and it all melts together and is so warm and yummy! I like it plain like that...my DH likes to add sour cream and sometimes extra salsa (or sauce from the diced tomatoes)

I've done dressing in a oven turkey bag in the crockpot with a pre-cooked turkey breast on top. It was easy to clean up and it was quite good.

I do a whole chicken frequently in my crockpot overnight. I put it on when I go to bed and after the kids leave for school in the morning I can pull it out and pick it off the bones. I don't know why you couldn't do the same with a turkey breast.

Hi there,
Sorry it isn't working for you, I love the site....were you able to see the recipes but couldn't click on them to open them?
If so I can email you the recipe if you are interested

 

[LindaBabe]

Thanks, Twigs. That turkey recipe was great! I'd give it a 7 /10 only because I used a sweetish wine (all I had) instead of the dry it called for - the sauce was smooth and flavorful, and the roast was nice and moist. It was finished in about 6 hours in my crockpot. I will make it again and try a more dry wine.

 

[Twigs]

Glad to hear it was good! Have a good weekend. Joyce

Hi everyone! I just discovered the CCS... (?!)

I am also a crock pot fanatic...I have quite a long commute, so it's nice to come home to dinner! My tricks to combat dryness in the crock is to make sure the meat is covered in liquid (my crock is on low for about 10-12 hrs.) Usually I just add a can of beef or chicken broth. Also, recipes with wine in them work well too! I'm currently working on a chicken crockpot pot roast stew...

www.allrecipes.com is my favorite source of recipes! If anyone has a good, long-cooking crockpot recipe please send it my way!

thanks!

Hello everyone! I am so glad I found this thread. I came over to this board to find some new Christmas cookie recipes, and instead I found the crock pot thread. I have been trying to use my crockpot more just for convenience and not having to "cook" every night. This is a nice easy thing that I do. I put (thawed) boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crockpot and cover with a can of prepared enchilada sauce and a can of diced green chile peppers. I leave it on all day while at work, and when I come home, I shred the chicken with a fork and serve on tortillas with shredded cheese and refried beans or Spanish rice as a side. It's really delicious. Keep these great recipes coming!!

I use my Crock-Pot at least twice a week, and more often in winter. I actually have dinner cooking now. This is what I'm making:

EASY CHICKEN AND BISCUITS

6 boneless, skinless thighs (or breasts if you prefer)
1 small yellow onion
1 stalk celery, cut-up
1/2 cup water

Dump all these ingredients in the Crock-Pot for 4 hours on low or 8 on high. 30 minutes before it's ready, add a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and a jar of cream country gravy. While that's simmering, bake up a can of Pilsbury refrigerator biscuits. When the biscuits are ready, slice one in half on a plate and cover with chicken, veggies and gravy. It's delicious! Beware, there's rarely ever any leftovers!

Here's an easy one that's great for parties:

QUICK AND EASY MEATBALLS:

1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
1/2 jar of grape jelly (the secret ingredient)
1 large bag of frozen meatballs

Dump all of these ingredients in the Crock-Pot for about 4 hours on high and everybody will rave about the flavor. Don't tell them your secret before they try it, or they might snub their nose at it (especially kids). The jelly gives the sauce a delicious, sweet flavor. You can also serve this for your family by reducing the amount of meatballs and serving them on a bed of white rice or on sub rolls for a quick, yummy sandwich.
