... ^ ... good to know ... I thought it was an all-new feature that I was missing out on and thought I would have to quietly "buy" a new one for the wife ... I love those crockpots ...

... sheets? Egyptian 1400 thread count?

TG -
you mean yours DOESN'T have a bone-china removable crock and a gold-plated cooker? I didn't know they made them like that.... ;^p

I'm liking the ideas here. Keep them coming.

Ribs are always a fave. I've been stuck on Chicken dishes lately.

Here's a Chicken Parm

Dredge chicken breast in egg and milk wash then bread them in seasoned bread crumbs or seasoned flour (make your own seasonings with Italian herbs, salt pepper... or buy the seasoned bread crumbs). In a skillet brown he breaded chicken breast to crust it.

Toss in crock pot with some spaghetti sauce or pizza sauce and cook on low for 6 hrs. When ready to eat, put a layer of mozzarella and let it melt in for 15 min. Serve over a bed on your favorite pasta.

Oh Geeze!

How can we leave out POT ROAST!

Corned Beef and Cabbage!

Re: #24

We'd better keep this thread on the down low ... otherwise RICK will start cutting & pasting recipes if he's had too much to drink ...

"Pizza in a Crockpot" ... la, la, la ....

- btw -

Cornbread Dumplings and Cabbage ... cook on high for 8hrs ... use your favorite cabbage recipe ... and add a base of starch & flour to thicken up the water and make a thin paste/layer over the cabbage ...

Must have removable crock.

Easier to clean: when done eating, take the crock out and put it in the fridge for lunch left overs clean it later.

It also helps for prep. Put all the junk in the crock the night before and put it in the fridge. The heating element thingy sits on the counter to remind you in the morning.

Wake up, shower, let dog out, put crock in it's "nest" and set it to auto shift (it starts on high, then kicks into low)

Come home and pig out

LOL! Actually, I've seen some crock pot recipes that I never would have dreamed up...cakes, banana bread, rice pudding, baked sweet potatoes....
The sweet potatoes seem silly - they cook pretty quick in a microwave already, why waste space in the crock?

The Chicken parm sounds GOOD - may have to throw that one into the rotation!

Thats it I'm going to Wal-mart!!!!

Crock Pot=A Beautiful Thing...

Looks like I need to go searching garage sales for a newer model. I think I paid about $5 for the one I have about 15 years ago at a garage sale.

The ease of use and simplicity of cleaning of the removable crock means I'd probably end up using it more too.

#30 was for #26

I mainly cook stuff like chili verde, braised shredded beef (a take on barbacoa style), shredded chicken in bbq sauce etc.

I did try mashed potatoes in it once.

Big mistake. Damn things ended up liquifying. Could have tossed some leeks in there and had a killer soup though.

Deviled swiss steak is a good one to do.

Tammy i have 120volt power in the truck. But thanks!

I enjoy pot roast from the crock. Chuck roast is my favorite cut. With red potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, and celery.

Yum!!!

I thought the locking lid on the 12VDC model was a nice touch.

chicken cacciatore

dredge chicken leg and thigh pieces in seasoned flour. Add chopped onion, mushrooms, chopped tomato, garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, 1 can chicken broth & 1 cup white wine, to the crock; stir together. Put chicken pieces on top, cook on low about 6 hours.

Tammy

I usually make Pinto Beans and Mexican Beef Stew in the crock pot. Damn, I'm gettin a new one tomorrow!

Homemade applesauce/pearsauce is really nice this time of year too. Core, peel and chop 'em, add a little water, cook it down, mush it up with cinnamon, brown sugar, caramel, nothing at all,whatever.
