It is wonderful to come home after a long day at work and have dinner already made, bubbling merrily in the crock pot. Last night's magical pot even included today's lunch and at least one more in the fridge.
to buy at a very reasonable price: http://savingdinner.com/5/crock_1.html if you are not a morning or night before person. Make a bunch of packets up on the weekend when you have energy, freeze them, and toss into the crock pot on your way out the door.
She also does a weekly subscription that sends you the grocery list and recipes with side ideas for a bunch of meals.
My absolute favorite--let me know if you want proportions. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced tomatoes with green chilis, taco seasoning. When you get home shred the chicken, make rice with the broth while you chop up a few easy taco toppings. Enjoy.
hhmmm. oatmeal in the crockpot overnight? How much/what do you put in there, and do you end up with a whole glob of oatmeal in the morning? interesting.
Oo, thanks! My first learning hurdle is picking the right kind of meat. I tried chicken breasts for a gazillion hours once and MAN, it was like eating RUBBER. (Too bad, too, 'cause the flavor was otherwise scrumptious.)
So thighs, roasts, briskets, that kind of thing. The meats I've never really cooked before because they take too long!
if you like pork, we find a nice fresh pork loin, that is NOT dressed with any kind of store coating or spices, or anything... just plain old pork loin, cooks up really nice and tender... and by virtue of cooking for HOURS, meets the "cook pork until it is done" mandate. Unlike beef, which can be eaten on the rare side, pork has to be thoroughly cooked to avoid pinworm and other nasty things. But,crock potted, it should do fine.
