The Official Crockpot Thread - Home of Lazy Cooking

Got a MS roast on for tonight

 

Almost crockpot szn for me. Can't do it in the summer, just doesn't appeal to me.

Sunday football and a whole week's meals though...

 

I've been itching to get mine out.

 

You got to use preseason football as your crockpot preseason as well. Try a few recipes you wouldn't normally try, if you got a new pot- test it out- you may end up going back to old trusty, use it to get your timing down, and if you get a big win and some nice compliments- well that's just the icing on the cake.

 

Thanks

 

Any recs for CFB this sat? I usually smoke something but I’m recovering from surgery so the Crock Pot will be my go to this weekend.

Just did MS roast last weekend. Was thinking maybe Korean BBQ or something like that.

 

dude I do a killer pulled pork in the crock pot .
almost as good as on the smoker .
just need a boston butt/ bone removed and tied .
liquid smoke , fresh garlic cloves 1/3 of a cup of water.
low and slow over-night .
yummy .

 

Not really a CFB worthy thing, but we've been making risotto in the crock pot and it is DOPE.

I'm doing Chicago Italian Beef for actual week 1.

http://www.food.com/recipe/chicago-italian-beef-30484

 

Looong cook but looks good. Do you need to go to a butcher for "rump roast" or is this called something else more common? Publix is the extent of my deli shopping at the moment

 

That looks really good and is a lot cheaper than getting it shipped in from Portillo's.

 

I bought one at the grocery when I made it last year. It's just a bottom roast.

 

Bottom round. Shouldn't be a specialty cut.

 

Fucking pork belly shouldn't be specialty cut either, but here we are

 

Cheapo EZ Fish Recepie:
Buy a big bag of frozen tilapia, tinfoil, a jar of Mandarin oranges, honey and bottle of balsamic vinegar

Make a "boat" out of the tinfoil and put 2 frozen tilapia in the boat

Drizzle honey and balsamic on top then cover with Mandarin oranges plus a little juice from the oranges jar

Close the "boat" so it's a tinfoil shell around the whole deal

Cook on high 2-2.5 hours. Easy cleanup as well, just take out the whole tinfoil deal and unwrap in the sink

 

Put this in the crock pot at 11a.m. for eight hours...excited for it....I went a little more aggressive on the spices, but very simple to make.

Anyone have this crockpot?


I like it since it's programmable. I can set it to cook for however long the recipe calls then it shifts to just keeping it warm. Would be clutch on those days where I'm working well into the night and want something to just grab and eat when I get home instead of just eating some microwaveable piece of crap.

Or this one? Looks the same as the one above but a different brand and a few bucks cheaper

 

Today....

Obligatory MS Roast in the pot post.



Should be ready in time for Falcons and TLC PPV

 

This is one of the best crock pot recipes

 

Red beans and rice went in this am

 

Recipe?

Also anyone have a fix for chicken noodle soup and the noodles getting overcooked/mushy? Put them in for 5 minutes and they were gross after

 

I usually make it with turkey sausage and serve over brown rice for a healthier option. Also I double the Cajun spice.

For chicken noodle the only thing I can think of is to cook the noodles separately and add at the end

 

Cook them separately.

 

Don't add noodles to the soup. Make noodles on the side. Put them in your bowl, add soup. Don't keep the leftovers together either

 

Yeah by day 2 they were a mess

 

Gonna make those beans and rice one night this week, looks amazing

 

Not crockpot, but make homemade chicken noodle soup & always cook then combine them. It keeps the veggies crisp.

That was very good. I added a packet of dry onion soup mix to it. They say it only takes 4-5hrs on low but it took me closer to 7 to have the potatoes be soft.

 

Trying this one today.....based on the comments it sounds like if you do the noodles wrong it ruins the entire meal. Might make them separate.

Crock Pot Beef and Noodles
Tender pieces of shredded beef in a salty broth with egg noodles. This is stick to your ribs comfort food.
Course: Main Dish
Cuisine: American
Servings: 8
Calories: 597 kcal
Author: Christin Mahrlig
Ingredients

• 1 (2-pound) beef chuck roast
• 1 envelope beefy onion soup mix from a 2.2 ounce box
• 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (14-ounce) can beef broth
• 4-6 cups water
• 2 (12-ounce) packages frozen egg noodles
• salt and pepper to taste
• parsley for garnish, optional

1. Place beef roast in slow cooker. Sprinkle onion soup mix on top. Add mushroom soup and garlic and smear on top of roast. Add beef broth.
2. Put lid on crockpot and cook 9 to 10 hours on LOW.
3. Remove lid and shred beef using 2 forks. Add noodles and enough water to mostly submerge the noodles. I try to use as little water as possible because I don't want to water down the flavor. It's ok if some of the noodles are sticking slightly out of the liquid. There is enough moisture and condensation in the crock pot to cook them thoroughly.
4. Cook for 1 hour. Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.

 

I made this last night and stuck to the recipe. My wife and I both really enjoyed it, so thanks.

I had it in for about 4:30 and didn't have an issue with the potatoes. Maybe another half hour would have been fine.

 

This sounds good. Will try now that we have frigid 70 degree temps.

 

Interesting about the potatoes. My mom told me it took her only 4-5 as well. My sister and I had to cook it much longer

 

That reminds me. I need to make that GOAT stroganoff from a Mississippi roast that you posted a while back

 

Link for the stroganoff? Made a MS roast last night and considering a stroganoff for the next

 

That shit is so good. I made it the other day and wished I had enough to bathe in it.

 

It's on page 3, with a few follow up tips after it (pg 4)

 

I seasoned it more than they called for

 

Just stocked up on more plastic liners. Ready to start crock potting.

 

Link? The only place can find them in person is those stupid kitchen gadget outlets in all the outlet malls.

 

I get them from Publix here in Florida. If you search crock pot liners it looks like both Target and Wal Mart have them as well. If you want to buy more than a few you can get them through Amazon.

 

I bought a box of liners but never use them. Haven't made a dish that wasn't easily cleaned with a good soak and scrub

 

I'm lazy to the point that the 10 seconds to throw a liner away is a lot better than coming from home work with a soaking pot that I need to scrub for a couple minutes and let dry. I have a deep, deep disdain for washing dishes, so that may be why. I try to use paper plates and bowls any chance I get.

 

Same here.

Made the cheesy chicken and rice this weekend to get back on the wagon. Turned out delicious as usual. Probably go to MS pot roast with stroganoff next weekend, then try out some new stuff for a while.

 

Seems extremely wasteful. Hope you at least recycle the plates and bowls.

 

That I do as I'm also frugal.
