Crock Pot Recipes
I use the crock pot, also called a slow cooker, all the time. You can pick up a cheap roast and, after slowly cooking all day, that roast will fall apart. Chili comes out so delicious and even barbecue ribs or chicken wings are unbelievably tasty. Just a couple pointers when using crock pot recipes. Personally I do not put the potatoes in if the recipe calls for them. I peel the potatoes and allow them to sit in cold water all day, then come home and drain them and add new water and cook them. I then add them to the crock pot when they are finished and allow them to sit for about 10 or 15 minutes to absorb the juices. This keeps you from serving mushy potatoes. I also like to brown some of my meats first, like roast. Not entirely necessary as the meat does brown in the slow cooker, but I think it helps lock in the juices. Obviously I don't do this with chicken or ribs or such. I'm going to begin adding a lot of delicious crock pot recipes and hope you will add some of yours as well. Here is a delicious slow cooker recipe to whet your appetite with plenty more to come. Chicken 'n Dumplings Recipe4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in small chunks2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup 1/4 cup onion, finely diced 2 cups water 2 10 oz packages refrigerated biscuits 1 chicken bouillon cube Combine all ingredients, except biscuits, in slow cooker.
