Crock Pot/Slow Cookers????
I recently have started using my CrockPot and wanted to know if any one had any recipes for them. I have been sort of making things up as I go and I recently joined a couple Crockpot "groups" to see if I can find anything tasty to make. So far I have made pot roast a couple of times and chicken stew a coupld of times and over the weekend I did Chicken mexican style. Today is a different variation on pot roast... but pot roast can get old... so I'm looking for other ideas that I can make. Also looking for high protien and low carb, so not a lot of noodles and rice stuff.... anyone???? |

| I made Darcy's chicken recipe and served on rice several times. It is YUMMY! |
| I have a general crock pot question.
Do you always need liquid to cover the meat in the pot? Or mostly? Or not at all? Or just enough to cover the bottom of the pot? I'd love to make some non-stew dishes, but I'm afraid I'd burn things if I left it on low for 8 hours while I'm at work... |
| steph, if you use frozen meat, it will thaw and usually be enough liquid as long as you keep it on low...i always add a little extra (like a 1/4 cup)...but the key is LOW heat! |
| A few years ago I bought this cookbook called "Easy Slow Cooker Cookbook"
There are lots of easy and very good meals in it. I will post some of our favs....  |

Steph - lots of times I've wrapped the beef tightly in foil and put it in the crock pot on low to cook. No water at all. It steeps all day in that tightly wrapped foil and it's own juice tenderizes it. It falls apart when you open it up and you can eat it with a fork - melts in your mouth. |
| ooo great idea Tammi |

So it doesn't burn the bottom of the pan since there's no liquid? I really should get my act together and make some crockpot meals on the weekend when I'm around so I don't freak out about burning down the house. |
| You can also make baked potatoes in the crock pot. My sister does it all the time...
Pierce baking potatoes with a fork. Brush skins with a little Olive Oil and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Wrap individually in foil and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours. then serve like normally with your favorite toppings. |
