Crock pottin' at a DVC resort....lookin' for ideas

[jimmytammy]

If anyone has ever done this toss us some simple ideas. We have a couple things in mind, but will be in a studio so no stove. Any suggestions would be great!!

I like to go over to the Camping at Disney World Board and check out what's cooking over there. Right now there's a quick and easy cooking in an RV thread.

I'm mostly a reader of recipes, it's a hobby!

Here's one of our favorites:

1 pkg Au Jus seasoning
Chuck roast
1 small onion
1/4 t seasoned pepper
1/2 c water or white wine

Slice onion and place in the bottom of the crock pot. Add the roast. In a small bowl mix the Au Jus, pepper and water or wine. Pour over roast. Cook on low for 10-12 hrs.

This is yummy and makes a great gravy--you could even buy those Ore-Ida frozen mashed potatoes to have with it or serve it on hoagie rolls as sandwiches!


If it wasn't for my crock pot we would eat out the majority of the time!

How about Chili -- serve it with bread. Then have leftovers with baked potatoes (cooked in microwave).

Never thought we would be cooking at WDW but DVC makes it a lot more convienient. Lots of good lookin recipes so far!!

Kweaver beat me to the creamy chicken recipe! I had this cooking for lunch 2 months ago when a friend dropped by. Her 3-year-old decided they should stay and have some(it smells that good!) My friend's other 3 kids loved it when she made it a week later, and it is one of my kids' favorite meals! I won't have any trouble making it in the 2-bedroom in June, but I am curious how one would cook the pasta noodles in a studio. I was thinking you could cook the noodles at home, al dente, then place in a ziploc bag when drained and cooled, and refrigerate the day before leaving(the noodles should be good for 2-3 days if refrigerated, right?) Then heat the noodles up in the microwave before using(probably adding a little water before heating). Anyone know anything about reheating pasta?

I made a pasta figoloi (sp?) recipe I found in Woman's day. I just reheated it in the crock pot here at work today. All I did was add a little water and stir. It came out great. It gets to boiling to the crock pot, so I'm sure you could even cook the noodles in there, but I've never tried it.

Mic - great minds think alike!

Microwaving pasta tends to make it rubbery. I'd pre-cook the noodles, put them in a ziplock or tupperware, and dump them in the crock pot for the last 15 minutes of cooking time.

Uncle Bens rice (not the instant) is easy to make in the Micro...check the package for directions...it always comes out perfect!
