I haven't tryed it but I wonder how baked beans would work.

I've done them in an official ceramic bean pot slow cooked in the oven but not in a slow cooker.

Recipe:
2 lbs Navy beans (soaked over night in 2 tbs salt water or drained canned beans), 1/2 cup brown sugar, 3 onions, 1/2 Cup molasses, 2 Tbs dry mustard, 1/2 lb bacon, 1/2 lb salt pork.

Cut up onions, bacon, and cut the salt pork into 3/4" cubes. Toss it all into the bean pot. Cook slow and low (250-ish).

Go fishing.

Come back to camp drunk, chop some fire wood and eat a bean dinner with biscuits and hot dogs, kielbasa, or whatever meat product is still available.

Wash down with cheap whiskey.

Your results may vary but that's the way it usually works when we head to ME for trout or deer seasonE

^^I've always had great luck with baked beans in the crockpot, as long as you're starting with dried beans instead of canned.

Pinto beans hambuger and a onion. Mmmmmmmmmmm

Got a chili-mac with goat cheese recipe that my kiddo wants me to try - we'll see how it goes. Sounds good, though.

I want to eat at DaQueenBeez house!

Sorry, 2 lbs of beans in salted water, not 2lbs of salt water.

You think you can talk her in whipping up some crock-pot tofu for you?

I'm with you Cooper. Think she's got a couple empty chairs? I have no problem cleaning up after supper.

Damn, I'm getting hungry again.

Dude I will sit on the floor!

Been making stew for years with the crock pot. Just dump everything in and go to bed and it is ready to take to work the next morning. No need to thaw the meat; one chunk of chuck, canned vegs as you like with stewed tomatoes and secret ingredient of picante sauce. A gal at the Med Center makes her chicken adobo using the CP.

#47 - GACK! No offense to those who like it, but tofu tastes like wallpaper paste.

#48/49 Plenty of chairs, if you don't care if they match, Dinner is at 6:30 any time you're in the neighborhood, and the back patio smoking lounge is open all night!

Tammy

YES!!!!

^I'm going to Walmart too! Or Ross or wherever. I need to learn this stuff.

Tammy,

Cooper is going to be so broken up about your feelings on tofu.


PS: How do you know it tastes like wallpaper paste?

Does it look like i eat tofu? I think NOT!

Uh, huh. Yeah, right.

You're a closet tofu fanatic. That's why you wanted me to email you all those recipes.

You can admit it, it's not like you're gay or nothing.

Oh, then again you do root for Jeff Gordon. On second thought, best you keep denying the tofu love big boy.

Re 51

I don't know where you live but if you see a thin mid aged, slightly balding, midwestern guy with an otter box lightly tapping on your patio door, put the gun down. It's only me.

Too everyone else, my kitchen is open. C'mon in.

What's in your (wallet) crock pot?

Midwest Ahy?

beef (a whole roast)

cut into pieces:
2 -3 large potatoes (or 5 - 6 red potatoes)
3 carrots
1 whole brown onion

1/2 cup of red wine

package of onion soup mix (the dried kind)

Meat in the cooker; veggies on top, then the wine; sprinkle the powdered mix on top of it all. Get out of the way.

6 hours on low (or, if your work hours are like mine, 10 hours on low...)

Almost impossible to screw it up. You'll be able to cut the beef with a fork.

Crock pot cooking makes my day go better (I know all day long that dinner is cooking and will be waiting for me when I walk in the door).

PS

tofu sucks unless it's in a good bowl of Hot and Sour soup.
