The Official Crockpot Thread - Home of Lazy Cooking

I even asked workers when I was looking. Wouldn't have thought of that. Did think about going by a Papa Johns.

 

Wondering if the Jarred ones will work as well, I know my grocery store doesn't have them fresh.

 

So those of you who made the Mississippi Roast - who used fresh peppers and who used pickled peppers?

I don't know why but I assume the recipe referred to fresh peppers - but maybe they meant the pickled ones.

Edit: It appears the jarred pepperoncinis are not pickled so those would be fine

 

Team jarred but they were a little smaller than the ones that they showed in the pics so I threw a couple extra in there.

 

fine, stopping by the grocery store and doing the MS Roast tomorrow morning

 

How was this? Thinking about doing it tomorrow

 

Done a similar recipe a few times and it always comes out pretty great. I end up removing the chicken after about 5 hours so it doesn't overcook, and then just let everything else go for another hour or two.

 

Hmmm. I was planning on starting it and leaving for work. Won't be back home for at least 8 hrs.

 

You'll be fine, I'm just really picky about not drying out the chicken when I make something like this. I also use the breasts on the bone which probably cook a little faster.

 

I think I need to do the mississippi roast this weekend. Is it really as easy as the two packets of powdered seasoning, peppers, and a stick of butter?

 

No. There is also a roast, pepperoncinis, a crockpot, an infrastructure which will deliver electricity to your house, and the passage of time.

 

Thank you White Tajh Boyd

 

Holy god the MS roast is so fucking good. The crockpot equivalent of Pepper Stout Beef in the BBQ thread. I added 2 packaged of fresh mushrooms, quartered, because I love mushrooms. Also added about a cup of beef broth about 3 hours into the process. Took BayouMafia idea and removed the meat and mushrooms, made a slurry of corn starch and thickened up the gravy. Added small container of sour cream and egg noodles and made a killer stroganoff.

 

Love the mushroom idea. Will be stealing that

 

Do you think adding onions will hurt the flavor? I add onions to pretty much everything

 

This looks like a bean recipe people would make who are not familiar with charros or borracho beans. PASS

 

First Ever Mississippi Roast today!

 

Post pics.

Any tips for preventing the aus jus from coagulating when you fridge the leftovers?

 

I make fun of you for double posting and then do the same.

 

I did post the pic, Its showing on my phone but for some reason not on the Computer.

 

in hurr

 

So what's everyone's favorite crock? I'm thinking of ordering this one .

I've heard some people have good things to say about having built in wifi and being able to control it from work / phone, but not sure it's worth the extra cash.

Opinions?

 

I went Simple. Non-Programmable, but whatever works. I realized that I may have to many crock-pots of different shapes and sizes but for the holidays it sure is nice to be able to use more than one. Would def recommend one that has locking lid for travel.

if you want to try and skim the fat from the au jus then that would prevent a good bit of coagulation. or just get a fat separator http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grip...pebp=1447860375464&perid=1ZDM9RSCPD9QQBZW28HC

any particular reason why you want to prevent that? it will just become liquid again when you reheat.

 

You say this, and then provide no recipe. SMDH.

 

also, got the cheesy chicken rice in the crock as we speak. will let you know if it's any good this evening.

 

It is very good. Have made it many times. Borderline impossible to screw up.

 

This. The roast is arguably better as a leftover.

 

Do you expect authentic laborious recipes in a crock pot thread?

 

Turned Out Awesome!





And the best part.... LEFTOVERS!

 

forgot I had mine going until I got home and walked into a wall of that heavenly aroma, I'll probably sit down to some in another hour or so

 

Chicken tortilla soup turned out great

 

Cheesy chicken rice turned out great, but holy crap did it turn out to be a ton of food. I think it'll freeze alright though, so successes all around.

 

introduce me to these portioned containers.

 

Jt272929 got me on the bandwagon.


Not bad.

 

Damn that looks delicious.

Thanks it was.

Ive made to some good meals and this was the easiest I've done in awhile. Was interested to see what the wife had to say when she got home and dug in.
Her first words "oh, you're making my Mississippi roast." I about shit. She has made it before. Got it from Kraft. Dammit.

 

Does the Mississippi roast give anyone else bubble guts and greasy shits for days? Maybe we just don't eat that much straight fat/butter in our household, I dunno, but it was a rough time for our toilet. Gonna be sticking with simple beefy mushroom/onion roast over smashed potatoes for now.

 

Yeah, that's a lot of butter

 

it's definitely too much for my tastes

 

a stick of butter in any dish is way too much imo.

 

It freezes great. I usually add some black beans and hot sauce to it as well.

 

I didn't use any butter
