Answer 4

It sounds strange - but it's really good!  My whole family loves when I make this.  I usually use 1-2 lbs of boneless chicken breast if you don't feel like dealing with broilers - it works just fine!

INGREDIENTS

2 (2 pound) broiler chickens, quartered or chicken b*****s

1/2 cup chopped green onion

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup honey

ground black pepper to taste

  

DIRECTIONS

Place chicken quarters into a slow cooker. Stir together the green onion, soy sauce, white wine, water, honey and pepper in a cup or small bowl. Pour over the chicken. Cover, and cook on high for 4 hours.

Answer 5

I cook my pork shoulders in the crock pot. All you have to add is a few onions, salt, pepper and water. Cook it until you can pull out the bone. You may have to drain off the fat occasionally. When the bone comes out, remove the skin then put it in the oven at 400 until the top is crispy. Leftovers cooked with your favorite bar-b-q sauce are wonderful. It can be a little complicated to move from the pot to the oven but it's worth it!

Answer 6

beef stew or beef roast.  just throw in the meat, a can of beef broth, salt n pepper to taste and I usually quarter some potatoes and onions and add a bag of baby carrots.  cook on low 8-10 hours.

italian pork chops.  just put chops in crock pot and pour a large bottle of italian dressing over top and cook on low 8-10 hours.

country style pork spareribs- I have made these awesome fall-off-the-bone ribs several times:

I also make my own chili recipe in the slow cooker for superbowl every year.

Answer 7

Smoked Pork Roast

3-4lb pork picnic roast - bone or boneless, does not matter

2 handfuls of rock salt

1/2 - 3/4 of a bottle of liquid smoke or hickory flavor

1 large white onion



place roast in crock pot, add onions, fill crock with water, add liquid smoke and salt, cover, cook on low for 8 -10 hours

when done, pork will fall apart.  I like to serve mine over Lime Cilantro rice -

Lime Cilantro Rice

1 cup uncooked rice

2 cups broth from pork

1 bunch cilantro, diced

juice from 1-2 limes (depending on your taste)

1/2 small white onion dices

combine all above ingredients in sauce pan with lid, bring to boil, reduce heat to med-low, cook until all liquid is absorbed.

If there is any left over pork, I will shred that for the next day, reheat on the stove with mexican/taco seasoning and make carnitas style burritos/tacos - YUMMM

This is my favorite if your having a couple people over.  It is really fantastic!  I would serve it on good toasted sub rolls with provolone cheese on top.  !!don't drain the juice out before you serve!!  * you can also add thinly sliced green bell peppers and/or onions to the crock pot if you like them.*

Answer 10

beef ribs a bottle of bbq sauce and walla

Answer 11

Stew  or a pot roast is excellent.

Answer 12

I actually have two favorites.  One is sausage, potatoes & cabbage.  Just cut up chunks of frozen sausage, fresh potatoes and then a head of cabbage.  Put the sausage in the bottom, then the potatoes and the cabbage on top.  Sprinkle a little salt into the top and cook on medium for about 8 hours or so.  Stir it up and serve.  Tastes great and it's a very healthy meal.

The other of my favorites is chicken and rice.  Put in 3-4 boneless chicken b*****s or thighs.  Sprinkle over some salt & pepper or seasoned salt to taste.  Pour over 2 cups of long grain rice.  Add in cut up carrots and onions.  Then pour over 1 can of diced or stewed tomatoes and 1 can of hot water.  Cook on medium heat for about 8 hours.

Answer 14

Barbecue pork sandwiches: cook a pork tenderloin on low 5-6 hours. Shred with 2 forks. Return to crock pot. Add enough BBQ sauce to make as moist as you like, and cook another 1-2 hours.

Au gratin potatoes. Slice potatoes and onions. Add a layer of potatoes, a layer of onion, cubed Velveeta cheese, salt and pepper. Repeat layers until you have the amount you want. Add milk until just covering layers. Cook on low 3-4 hours.
