NWR: Crock Pot

Ash61612 · December 2011

I always amazed at how easy and how yummy things are when I use my crock pot. For example, I put some pork chops with 1/2 packet of dry Italian seasoning, corn and mushrooms and it is great!!

what are some of your favorite things to cook in a crock pot?

I make Ropa Vieja in a crock pot. Its like a Puerto Rican Stew that FI loves, but I hate how much effort it takes. It comes out amazing and requires so much less work!

Stuffed peppers are probably my favorite. Barbeque is pretty great too, the meat gets so tender and juicy!

And now I'm hungry...

I LOOOVE my crockpot. My favorite thing to make is usually some type of soup or stew. My favorite so far has been a chicken and corn chowder. Yum!

Tiffany, I have been meaning to make BBQ in the crock pot! I loved when my mom would do this

Yup! Too funny!

And now I need to make this baked oatmeal since I hate eating breakfast and this might help. Do you use the same amount of apple sauce as she used butter? And do you ever add nuts?

Recipe please!

I use my crockpot to make chicken tortilla soup, split pea soup, pork and sourkraut, pot roast, BBQ pulled pork... the list goes on. There is nothing I love more than coming home at night to dinner already cooked.

Its from FIs grandma, that I adapted to make in a crock pot.

Ingredients:
2 lb Flank Steak or Beef Roast
1 small onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped\
1 Tbs. capers
2 Tbs. EVOO
1 package of Sazon (its sold in an orange box with packets inside from Goya)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. adobo seasoning (I use Goya for chicken, since its what I have)
1 tsp. cayanne pepper
1 small can tomato sauce
1.5 cans of water
2 large potatoes, chopped
Carrots, chopped

Mix tomato sauce, water, oil and dry seasonings together. Put steak, peppers & onions in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour the liquid over and cook on Low for 8 hours (or High for 4).

Shred the beef; add in the carrots and potatoes and cook on high for 1-2 hours.

I serve it with brown rice, and usually add hot sauce since I have burnt out my pallet.

I actually have a beef roast with potatoes and carrots cooking in the Crock-pot right now - makes the house smell amazing! Chicken fajitas, cheesy potatoes, and buffalo chicken dip are some of our other favorites besides good old beef.

niecie_jeff · December 2011

I use mine to make stews, soups, dips, lasanga, the list goes on and on. Love my crock pot!!!
