Here's a recipe that I tried New Years Day... They turned out delicious!!! I added leftover ham from Xmas! I also left out the garlic powder and used season salt and white pepper... I also used a small bag of beans!


Pinto beans in a crockpot


Ingredients:

amount of pintos that you want
chunk of ham or about 3 strips of bacon
salt, pepper and garlic powder
1 large pot with lid(for soaking)
1 crockpot with lid Directions:

First figure out how many beans you want to cook, then wash them several times until the water runs clear. Put beans in a pot with water to cover and bring to a boil. Turn heat off and let sit for 1 hour. Pour beans and water into your crockpot add water just to cover(water doesn't evaporate in a crockpot) Add your ham or bacon and turn on high. In my crockpot it takes 4 to 5 hours to cook. After about 3 hours season the beans. They will be done when the juice is a dark rich brown. The secret to good beans in a crockpot is to take out a cup or so and mash them and then return them to the bean pot. This makes them thick and good. check the seasonings before serving . I use salt pepper and a little garlic powder. Yummy, southern heaven!

Hello all, I am very new to crock pot/slow cooking and am curious if you are supposed to add water to any of these recipes or if they kinda make their own juices?

[Charski]

If the ingredients don't include adding water then you shouldn't need to - and yes, there will be plenty of liquid generated during the cooking process, generally speaking, if you are using meats and veggies.

seasoning of your choice (see my note*)


Spray the bottom of the crockpot with olive oil non-stick cooking spray. Next, take pieces of tin foil (aluminum foil) and ball them up, placing them in the bottom of the crockpot. The chicken is going to "sit" on the foil balls. Cover the bottom of the crockpot with tinfoil balls. Spray the chicken with the olive oil spray and season with Lawry's seasoned salt.
Bake on high for 4 hours.

**Notes: The tin foil and the time/temp are "non-negotiables"

I have used butter flavored cooking spray as well as different seasonings and it has tasted great. I have used lemon pepper seasoning and McCormick's brand "Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning."

This does look like one of the whole rotisserie chicken's that the grocery store sells.

I like to brown mine a bit after the crockpot cooking, I take my removeable crock and place it in the 350 degree preheated oven, w/o lid and bake for 15 minutes to brown & crisp up the chicken skin. It is so moist and just falls off the bone.

unless it's something like soup that you are attempting, you'll want to add very little water, if any, as there is no evaporation happening in the crockpot. 1/2 cup is usually more than plenty of liquid if other ingredients aren't wet ones (such as a can of undrainned tomatoes). If your liquid is too thin for you in the end, sauces and gravies can be easily thickened w/ a bit of guar gum or xanthan gum. I use a wand blender for this, to avoid lumps.

I am so glad I found the Crockpot recipes thread. I love my Crockpots. I have 3 of them . It will be so easy to cook up a week of meals to freeze, with all these great recipes. Can't wait to get started cooking.

Guess I'm not texture fussy, cause I just plop the whole
chick in the greased pot with seasoning inside the cavity
(sometimes a whole onion too) and let it cook on low
until it falls apart. Nice rich juice in the bottom to save
or serve. Not crispy like in an oven but I love it this way.

We prefer the dark chicken pieces so I often partly skin
leg quarters and cook them in the crock with a little
homemade catsup which to me is like a mild BBQ sauce.
The rest of the family enjoys this with rice.

I prefer not to fuss with many ingredients. KISS

Place the roast in the crockpot then sprinkle the three mixes on top and kind of rub it in. Cook on low all day. I put it in at 8:00 when I leave for work and it's perfect by 5:00. Although there is no water in it, it makes plenty of au jus which is great on faux mashed potatoes.

Bump this one.Its FABULOUS

[Mommy2aCutie]

Subbing! L-O-V-E this thread! Thank you!!!!

[msnhim]

Thanks for all these wonderful recipes! I'll add one of our favorites. I don't know carb counts because it was from my non locarb days, but its not bad.

Italian Beef

Beef Roast (any cut)
Dry italian dressing mix (1 envelope per pound of meat--but I ussually just use a couple)

Put the roast and the italian dressing mix in the crockpot (NO WATER)
Let cook all day until its falling apart--it will make its own juice.

Once it is falling apart stir to kind of shred it and add 1 can french onion soup and 1 can beef consume' (both found with campbells soups) Let simmer a while to warm and blend flavors)

My family eats this on hoagies or french bread with peppers (maybe some horseradish if you like) I just eat it as is. Very delicious! Make plenty cause its even better the next day! I am always requested to bring this to family gatherings.

It's a salad dressing mix - a packet of dry ingredients, you add your own oil/vinegar/water to it. In this case you just use the packet dry.

Good Seasons is one brand that makes it. Look in the salad dressing aisle in the grocery store - they're usually in that section. I've also seen them near dry gravy mix packets.

My kids aren't into beef all that much. I wonder if this would work with chicken breasts/thighs. What do you think?

[Palmetto0208]

Anybody know if I can freeze this after it's cooked? I've got it cooking (can't wait to get home from work and open the door and smell it!) but I know I can't personally eat three pounds of beef before it goes bad!

16 ounces Contadina tomato sauce, 22 carbs
3 packets splenda (or more to taste)
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (I omit the cayenne pepper)
2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring
1 tablespoon syrup, sugar free maple, 1 carb
1/4 cup onion, minced

mix, pour over chicken and let it cook all day, or until tender on low. I would think you could do this on high also for less time obviously

Mmmm mmm MMM!!! I made this yesterday, and after church, it smelled SO good--I fell on it and so did my son--he was so happy to have BBQ again! He's Type 1, and he thought they were delicious!!!
