Beef Stew in the crock pot now - benefits of working from home this week; 

I may have to try both of the recipes listed on this page so far.   Not a fan of cold weather, but using the crock pot at this time of year is pretty hard to beat.

A big hit and super easy. Thanks for sharing!

ETA:  Whisked in some Sour Cream with a bunch of gravy before adding the meat and vegtables when serving ( my wife's idea) was a big hit as well if anyone wants to try that too!

recipe on page 3. I will copy and paste. This comes from @RAIDERNATION.

Serve on a fresh, soft torpedo roll and use the parmesan cheese liberally. 

==============

Have a big pan/crock pot of sauce simmering before you start making meatballs.

1 lb. Ground Chuck (preferably), or lean ground beef

2 large HOT Italian sausages… squeeze contents of casing in with the beef

1 tsp. Garlic

1 egg

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ cup parmesan cheese

¼ cup bread crumbs

¼ tsp. Salt

¼ tsp. Pepper

Preheat oven to 325º

Place meatballs on cookie sheet for 6 minutes.

Turn them over for another 6 minutes on the other side.

Place the meatballs in the sauce, and simmer for ***AT LEAST*** 3 hours.

If you can simmer them in a crock pot for six hours, that would be ideal.

Also use a stick of Margarita pepperoni, cut it into slices and simmer in sauce.

This recipe makes 12 decent-sized meatballs.

 
When I use the slow cooker it normally comes out a bit bland.  It’s difficult to get the seasoning and flavor right.  I made slow cooker pulled chicken this weekend and it was the best I’ve made to date.  I’m not going to say it was amazing but I will say I liked it better than anything else I’ve done in the slow cooker so far.  Here is what I did…

6 boneless chicken breasts (approx. 4.5 lbs.)

Trim the fat off the breasts and sprinkle Season All on them

Add to slow cooker:  ¾ cup of water + ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar + few drops of Worcestershire + few drops of extra virgin olive oil + chicken and cook on low approximately 7-8 hours

After cooking I shredded the chicken with 2 forks and left it in the liquid it was cooked in.  Then I added a full bottle of Woodstock Organic Hickory BBQ sauce.  If I did it again I would probably use a little less water (probably ½ cup).

Normally when I make pulled pork or pulled chicken I drain the liquid it was cooked in before I shred it.  This time I left it in the liquid.  This obviously made it a lot wetter, but I feel like that added to the overall flavor.  Also, with the extra liquid, even though I added a lot of BBQ sauce, the BBQ it didn’t overpower the flavor.  I don’t know exactly what made it better this time, I just know I liked it a lot.

 
Italian Beef is in the slow cooker this morning.  It will make working from home a little more bearable with the smells wafting through the house all day.  Mmmmmmm.

 
This is really simple an the flavor is fantastic:
 

3 lb    boneless pork shoulder, fat cap trimmed to 1/4" or less

½ C    extra-virgin olive oil

2 T    coarse salt

1 T    onion powder

1 T    garlic powder

1 T    smoked paprika

1 med    onion, sliced thin

Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels. In a small bowl combine the olive oil, salt, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika. 

Using a small, thin knife, such as a boning knife, make deep slits in the roast and rub the spice mixture all over the roast and into the slits. 

Refrigerate overnight

Place sliced onion on the bottom of slow cooker.  Add pork fat side up, and cook 8 hours on low. Shred meat and return to cooker to keep warm

I serve with a chimichurri either on a sandwich or just in a bowl

1 ½ C    olive oil

¼ C    white wine vinegar

1 C    finely-chopped fresh parsley

½ t    cayenne pepper

½ t    paprika

½ t    oregano

¼ t    black pepper

2     cloves garlic, finely chopped

Juice of half a lemon

Salt, to taste

lazy man's pulled pork for tomorrow - i have made it a couple of times this football season already.  My neighbors don't believe it is that easy. I was asked to make it for a neighborhood viewing party tomorrow afternoon.

You can do it on the stove 

I did mine on the stove today just to warm the meatballs through then put them in crock on low to keep warm 

Using frozen meatballs you’re just warming them up ...
