Slow Cooker (Crock Pot) Recipes? - Page 2

BrianR · 07-23-2007, 07:27 PM

I live out of my little 1.5 qt slow cooker (12 volt!)

I have learned to cook alomst anything from meat to potatoes to soup to mac n cheese (NOT easy!).

I invent my own recipes but you likely do not like hobo food.

I'd give hobo food a go Brian

With baked beans, that you parboil them at the beginning of a six-hour cooking process hardly matters, time- or effortwise. Presoak beans, no effort; parboil them, hardly any.

Stew, though, is highly reliable. Things-in-a-sauce recipes also.

Crock-pot Chicken and Dumplin's

2 to 4 cans cream of chicken soup (depends on the size of your crockpot)
chicken breasts - enough to feed your family
Bisquick

Turn the crockpot on low. Add the soup and whisk it around a bit.
Add the same number of cans of hot water and mix it up well. Remember to leave room in the crockpot for the dumplings.
Add ground pepper to taste. Add the chicken. Cover and leave.

When you return home, mix up dumplings according to the recipe on the side of the Bisquick box. Drop globs of this into the crockpot. They will expand quite a bit. When they firm up a bit, they're done - about 5 minutes.

This is a good quick dinner on a cold day.

Having recently purchased a new slow cooker, I have one major piece of advice ... buy the bigger one.

Why do you say that wolf?

Experience.

What you want to make does not fit in the little one, but you try anyway, and then it boils over onto your counter, and you have to spend an hour trying to scour the burnt mess off the inside of the heating element part.

Ohhhh, ok.

I have a huge one and everything I make looks woeful in the bottom, and doesnt taste as good as when I make a huge big batch and it comes half way up the sides.

ALWAYS make a huge-big-batch. Freeze the leftovers in package-sizes that make sense to your household. Home-made TV dinners are SO much nicer ...

The only crock pot recipe I can ever remember off the top of my head:

Crock Pot Chicken Curry

1-2 lbs. chicken, chopped
1 16-oz. jar of mild salsa
1/2 to 1 TBS curry powder, as preferred
1 8-oz. container sour cream

Mix together chicken, salsa, and curry in crock pot. Cook on High 4-5 hours or Low 8-10 hours. Just before serving, mix a small amount of hot liquid from the crock pot into the sour cream, then add sour cream mixture to the crock pot and stir well. (The first step greatly helps the sour cream combine smoothly.) I personally cut back on the curry and add some garam masala or other Indian spices, but above is how I originally learned it.
