I'm sure glad Senior started this thread. I cannot tell you how much I've enjoyed copying all of these into my recipe file. I just bought a slow cooker several months ago, and haven't been using it as much as I'd like. Now I will.
I have one more recipe, but it's so simple I hesitate to list it. I think of myself as a pretty talented cook, but am probably fooling myself, but I want to keep up my reputation.
My pot roast recipe is just about my favorite, because it takes about 2 minutes to make.
I always made this in a dutch oven on the stove, but it works just as well in the crock pot and I don't have to worry about the cat checking it out.
3-4 pound roast of your choice. (I used to brown it, but honestly I see no different if you don't and a lot of cooking shows now say it really doesn't lock in anything.)
Salt, Pepper and Thyme. Put it in the crock pot. Add one can of beef broth, and one can of Campbells French onion soup. If you do it on the stove about 3.5 hours on simmer. The crock pot takes closer to 4 or a little more on high. The best thing about this is that the juices are ready to thicken for gravy without adding anything.
My mouth is watering from all of this, so I'm going to go have a frozen burrito for my dinner, lol. I always cook supper for my wife since she is still working and I"m not, but we have a financial guy coming at 5 and I'm under orders not to smell up the house cooking.
Thanks again everyone.
