Something with a lot of garlic. It works better. Too late! Already bought Hillshire Farms Turkey kielbasa! Flame away. 1
Uncle Joe Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Pork chops and sauerkraut. Season and pan sear the pork chops first. Slow cook till the meat falls off the bone. 1

The Avenger Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Been using the Instapot like crazy, so not as much slow cooking as I normally do. For slow cooker I love a good pot roast - get something with some decent fat that will render slowly and make some ridiculously tender meat at the end (cut with a fork). Throw in the veggies you like - potatoes, carrots, celery is what I use - some spices and diced onion for flavoring - some beef broth to add some liquid. Great hearty meal at the end of the day and you have everything in one - meat, starch, vegetables. Yum! 7

I have made it just as you described and it came out delicious... except instead of beef broth use red wine, the kind people drink, not that cooking crap. It really does elevate the flavor quite a bit. 1

All I know is that it has mayonnaise in it along with the milk and cheese. The stuff is friggin delicious. My daughter eats like a finch, and she’ll crush 2 helpings every time. We have it at least once a week during busy hockey/ski season. THAT sounds like comfort food to me! I could never get my wife to eat it with all the dairy in there, but I think it sounds great. We had company last night and she cheated a bit on her no dairy/gluten rule, and she had to lay down when people left. These restrictions blow, but it could be worse. My Father’s Day gift was having people over since cooking for one is not much fun.......

A good way to do it is to brown the roast on all sides before putting it in. It looks better and tastes better. Deglaze the pan with red wine afterward and throw that ***** over the roast. Whole mushrooms are a must for me to add to the pot. When we've had venison in the house, a venison roast or stew cooks the best in a crock pot too. Edited June 29, 2020 by CookieG

I remember this from college: Frozen meatballs, jar of orange marmalade, bottle of BBQ sauce, sweet onions and pineapple chucks. Server on skewers.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Surprisingly, roasting a chicken in the crock pot is easy and delicious. You don’t get the crispy skin of an oven, but it is very moist. by the way, I don’t believe in pulled pork in the crock pot. It’s morally repugnant. I know too many terrible home cooks that think they are gourmet chefs by throwing a big chunk of fatty pork into the crock pot and then dumping bbq sauce on that mushy mess later.

T&C Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Parsnips are excellent in a crock pot... with whatever the main dish is. One of my top 5 veggies.
