Can you recommend a Crock pot recipe for a first timer?
I'm 20 years old and never cooked with a crock pot before, nor do I cook often. Can you offer an easy, tastey recipe for my first try? (No chili recipes by the way, I hate chili)
Crock Pot Recipes
COLA CHICKEN
(And more variations of recipe)
(My favorite: Wings or Ribs)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)
Put chicken in a non-stick pan.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from
sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!
You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot
sauce....presto "Hot
Wings"!
I have used Ribs, just as good.
I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally
as good...served over rice.
I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small
jar of Salsa (any variety).
I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).
You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be
messed up....wouldn't you??
Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe
using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my
husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed
Salsa & Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out
the catsup) & Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might
be a little sweeter than some of you like.
I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for "HOT") Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).
Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.
Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the
catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!
Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that
great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.
Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see
myself making this again.
Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as
good over noodles.
How about using the little cocktail wieners/sausages?
Gonna try some butterfly cut pork chops….boneless pork chops…..pork steak.
How about Vienna Sausages ?? Ummm!
Mushroom Chicken
4 chicken breast
1 can cream of mushroom soup
water
Mix a can of cream of mushroom soup with can of water.
Place chicken in crock pot.
Pour soup over chicken and cook on medium ....4-5 hours....or until desired doneness.
Stuffed Peppers for 2
(Can be doubled, tripled..etc.)
Mix together:
1/2 lb. Hamburger (or gr. turkey)
a pkg. of onion soup mix
3/4 of 1 small can tomato paste.
1/2 cup rice
Prepare peppers.....cut off top and take out seeds.
Fill with meat mixture. Place in an oven proof dish/pan that has a lid.
Place any extra meat mixture in bottom of pan or make a couple of patties & freeze for future use.
Mix remaining tomato paste with can of tomatoes (crushed....diced...etc. whatever you want to use.)
Pour tomato mixture around peppers, cover and bake in 375 degree oven for 1 hour.
Serve with cornbread or garlic bread.
POT ROAST
Your choice of beef or pork (to fit crock-pot)
1 pkg. dry Ranch dressing mix
1 pkg. dry Italian dressing mix
1 pkg. dry Brown Gravy mix
1 cup water
Put beef in pot.
Mix together all the dry mixes….then add water …pour over meat and cover & cook on high 4-6 hours.
Until meat is tender.
The first time I made it I didn’t have the Italian Dressing mix….so I added a pkg. of Onion Soup Mix….I have to say I liked that better.
If you use more water you might want to add more Brown Gravy mix….to make a thicker sauce. Was gonna add
potatoes and carrots…but never got around to it.
(Should work well in crock pot)
Poor Man’s Swiss Steak
(can be doubled. Etc.)
Mix: 1 lb. hamburger
1 cup cornflakes
salt & pepper to taste
small amount dices onion
Spread in a square baking pan.
Pour: 1 can mushroom soup
1 can water
(combine together, first)
Pour over meat mixture.
Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
"Canned Soup".
(My Way!)
Whatever cans of veggies I have, that I like, in cabinet it goes in the pot.....along with all the juices in the cans.
Cook on stove top or Crock pot.
Enjoy!
Canned:
corn
peas
carrots
gr.beans (any variety)
lima beans
wax beans
tomato (any variety)
potatoes (whole or sliced...or both whatever you like)
You get the idea....lol.
Also add a package of shredded cabbage (cole slaw mix).
You can even add a package of onion soup mix.
If it gets too dry and needs more liquids....add tomato juice...V-8...etc.
"Corny Beanie Weenies."
(from a country preacher in Mississippi…wife & 2 teenage sons)
Mix one can of good baked beans
We use a good sized can of beans (14-16 ounces, I think) a
