Crock pot Meals

[Hawkeye OG]

First frost happened yesterday, which means it's OFFICAILLY crock pot season. Admittedly, my crock pot has been busy this fall - I've already made chili, potato soup and Italian beefs.

Whose got some bomb crock pot recipe's to share? I'm looking for something this weekend for the Bears game.

I love these made with Trader Joe's mini meatballs. They make good samiches too.

I mean, pot roast?

• Prepare veggies: I quarter small red potatoes or some other "waxy" variety, turnips, carrots, radishes (personal preference as I leave out celery in this step), yellow/white onions, and several cloves of garlic (I use a ton of garlic, but that's me). Beets are also an option if that's your thing?
  • Quantity of each is really a matter of taste.
• Prepare a bouquet garni: a few sprigs of rosemary, parsley, and thyme, a bay leaf or two (personal preference), a stalk of celery, several whole black and white peppercorns. Wrap all in cheese cloth and tie (this allows the flavors to seep pretty much like a tea bag without having floating spices in the end gravy).
• Pre-season a chuck roast with an extremely liberal amount of salt and pepper.
• Sear the shit out of the roast in an extremely hot pan w/oil (should be basically an 1/8' thick crust on the entirety of the outside).
• Once you're done with that remove the roast and place in (unheated) crock pot with the vegetables.
• Deglaze the pan with apx. 2 cups of red wine (use something dry to slightly sweet that you would actually enjoy drinking).
  • Make sure you get all the tasty crispy bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
• Add wine from the deglazing to 3 cups beef or veal stock, then enough water to cover the roast/vegetables.
• I do medium heat until the roast is nearly fall-apart.
  • Remember to occasionally skim off the fat and froth that builds up on top of the liquid (leaving these tends to end up with a bitter taste).
• Once cooking is finished strain the liquids, prepare a rue (just look it up) and add the liquids to it.
  • Salt and pepper the gravy to taste, remembering that you can add a little more beef/veal broth at this point if it gets too thick.
• Eat and carry on with life.

Don't you ever get tired of being wrong??

I tend to only do the meat in the crock pot. chicken, pork, some beef. I like to do the veggies separately. They get to mushy in the crock pot. Though that's a lie I do sometimes through some small potatoes, carrots, and onions in with the beef.

time your vegs or just cut veg into huge pieces... can cut them small if you purposely want them to disintegrate and thicken whatever liquid your cooking in..

Split pea soup. We use the one pound bag of dried peas with chicken broth, carrots and onion.

You cannot go wrong with green chile stew.

If you can locate green chile it really isn't difficult and there are tons of recipes online. I think you may have trouble locating green chile though. Your best bet, if there isn't anything fresh roasted there, is the Bueno brand frozen or if you are in a pinch sometimes Costco will have the 505 brand in jars.

Here's a relatively simple one:

Purchase 1lb round steak, box of cornbread stuffing, can of golden mushroom soup.

• Lay steak flat (butterfly if it's a thick cut).
• Pour stuffing onto one end of the steak running length-wise.
• Roll into a "loaf" and secure with butchers string or toothpicks.
• Season with salt/pepper and anything else you typically like on beef.
• Set pot to medium/high (350° if your has a temp setting).
• Sear steak roll in a pan with oil.
  • Pour soup into pot while searing.
• Place steak in pot.
• Cook apx. 45 minutes.
• Slice loaf into individual servings.

Alternately this can be done in the oven. Same process, but requires a roasting pan and you need to cover it with foil to prevent too much moisture from escaping.

FYI I keep reading the thread title as "Crack pot meals" and thinking "No, I don't think I want to know what kind of meals some of these people eat..."
