Crock Pot / Slow Cooker Recipes (paprika, dressing, baking, vanilla)

[poconoproud]

Mine isn't exactly home made, but it's really good. McCormik brand seasonings has a crock pot packet for making your own pulled pork b-bq. It tastes like authentic southern pork bbq. All you have to add is pork shoulder roast. I serve it on really soft rolls and with my take on cole slaw (very thinly sliced cabbage w/ grated carrot mixed with pepper and italian dressing)

Poconoproud, your's sounds much easier and just as good. Below is one of our family favorites that I had previously posted in the What's For Dinner Tonight thread:

Memphis Style Pulled Pork
1 medium onion
6 fresh garlic cloves
2 (14-ounce) cans reduced-sodium beef broth
1 (18-ounce) bottle BBQ sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 boneless Boston Butt pork roast (about 3 1/2 pound)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
6 bakery french (or regular) hamburger rolls

Peel onion, slice thickly and place in slow cooker with garlic cloves. Stir in broth, BBQ sauce, sugar, vinegar, and pepper; add pot roast. Cover and cook on high 6-8 hours or low 10-12 hours or until pork is fork tender.

Remove pork from slow cooker.

Shred pork using two forks. Split hamburger rolls, if needed.

Serve pork on sandwich rolls and top with additional bottled BBQ sauce. Serve with Old-Fashioned Cole Slaw.

Old-Fashioned Cole Slaw
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (16-oz) bag shredded cole slaw mix

Whisk in medium bowl, vinegar, sugar, and celery seed. Add mayonnaise, salt, and pepper; whisk until smooth.

Stir in cole slaw mix until evenly coated. Chill until ready to serve.

Okay, do I add in the cornstarch and water at the same time with everything else?

I did, Denise. Hope this is right! We'll see when 6 o'clock rolls around and we're ready to eat. It sure smells good!

Denise, Sorry! You can do it either way to thicken the broth.

Easy and good-take a rump roast or arm roast. Put in crockpot, add 1 bottle of beer, packet Lipton's onion soup mix, 3 or 4 cloves of garlic.

Beef will fall apart almost shredding. Hard rolls dipped in juices, fries you're set.

I love using my crock pot to cook as well. It's so easy! This is a really good recipe and very adaptable to your specific tastes so I wanted to post it. Also, it lasts for a few days. When I last made it we had it with corn tortillas, cheese, sour cream and avocado slices the first night. The second night we used it to make nachos. Delicious!

1 (4 pound) frozen rump roast - or chuck
1 cup white wine - or beer
2 (7.75 ounce) cans Mexican style hot tomato sauce
3 tablespoons crushed garlic
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Place the frozen roast in the slow cooker. Pour the wine and Mexican style hot tomato sauce over the top. Season with garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.

Cover, and cook on low for 9 hours. When done, the roast should shred easily with a fork. Shred the roast into the juices, and mix in the chopped green onions and cilantro. (Defrosted, cook about 5 hours)


*If you like full on flavor I would say follow the recipe exactly. I don't like too much full on flavor and I don't like things too spicy so I used regular tomato sauce one time and a jar of salsa another time. I also did not use onions, don't like 'em. I also did not store the meat back in with the juices, I kept them separate stored in the fridge. Like I said we ate it for a few days so I thought the meat might take on too strong a flavor sitting in the juice for those days. If you like all that flavor though, go for it!
