Crock pot / Slow cooker recipes (2 Viewers)

I bought a corned beef brisket and I think I'm going to do it in the slow cooker.Thinking water, pickling spices, maybe some horseradish and cook for 8 hours on low? Then throw in some cabbage for the last hour of cooking I suppose?Probably would be good cooked in an ale as well - but I'm trying to avoid carbs.Anyone ever done this? Warn against it? Etc?
Not my recipe but I've done this and it's very good.Directions: Put Corned Beef Brisket in crockpot. Add water to almost cover brisket. Cook on high for about five hours. Remove from Crock Pot and put into baking pan. Cover brisket with a mixture of: 3 tablespoons of honey mustard. 1 cup red wine 1/4 cup brown sugar (amount of brown sugar depends on size of brisket) (The mixture gives the brisket a crispy crust.) Mix and pour over beef in pan. Put in oven at 375 degrees for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.(Optional - The author cooks the carrots and cabbage/potatoes separately. Some people like to throw it all in together. It's your call.)
 
I made the recipe in this blog post a few weeks ago, and it was awesome. I'm planning to make it again tomorrow. I recently got the book mentioned there (Slow Cooker Revolution), and I highly recommend it.
I have now made three recipes from this cookbook: Tamale Pie (twice), Parmesan Risotto, and Enchilada Casserole. The Tamale Pie and risotto both came out great. The Enchilada Casserole is okay, but I probably won't make it again. It's a good cookbook.
 
I have a general question about corned beef

I know it's just a beef brisket that's spiced to taste like corned beef.

So when you get the spice packets, is THAT what turns it into corned beef or is there some sort of process that occurs before hand even without the spice packet?

 
If anyone else is think Corned beef in slow cooker, I just received a recipe from Food & Wine and it also has a Guinness ice Cream recipe with it!

Slow Cooker Corned Beef & Vegetables

One 6 1/2-pound corned beef

6 heads of garlic

10 cups water

6 medium carrots, peeled

6 medium red potatoes, halved

One 2-pound head of green cabbage, cut into 6 wedges

Mustard and horseradish, for serving

1.Put the corned beef in a large slow cooker. Add the garlic and 6 cups of the water, cover and cook on high for 5 hours and 30 minutes.

2.Add the remaining 4 cups of water and cook on low until the corned beef is tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes longer. Transfer the corned beef to a large pan and cover with foil. Discard the garlic.

3.Add the carrots and potatoes to the cooker, cover and cook on high until almost tender, about 2 hours. Add the cabbage wedges and cook until tender, about 45 minutes.

4.On a carving board, carve the corned beef across the grain into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Keeping the slices together, return the meat to the slow cooker and cook on low until heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve the corned beef and vegetables in the cooking liquid, passing mustard and horseradish at the table.

Guinness Ice Cream

16 ounces Guinness

2 cups heavy cream

1 3/4 cups whole milk

15 large egg yolks

1 cup granulated sugar

Chocolate-Covered Pretzels, for serving

1.In a large saucepan, combine the Guinness with the cream and milk and bring to a simmer over moderately high heat. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar. Gradually add the hot Guinness cream to the yolks, whisking constantly until well blended.

2.Pour the mixture into the saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly until it coats the back of a spoon, about 6 minutes; do not let it boil. Pour the custard into a medium bowl set in a large bowl filled with ice water. Let stand until the custard is cold, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.

3.Pour the custard into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions (this may have to be done in 2 batches). Pack the ice cream into an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

4.Spoon the ice cream into bowls and top with some Chocolate-Covered Pretzels. Serve at once.

I know, just not many takers here.

 
6.5 lb corn beef. Added a Guinness a couple cups of water, minced garlic and the spice packet...cooked on low for 8hrs. Came out great. Basically pulled corn beef which I didn't expect but really good

That's how mine turned out too and I loved it.I found I didn't need any more seasoning other than the pickling packet that comes with it.Here's something I did come up with to dip the corned beef in. Get some creme fraische (sour cream would work too if you must) and some horseradish.Transfer a half a cup of the cooking liquid to a pan and cook it down to a quarter cup (10 minutes)Add the creme and horseradish and whip it up.It's just as good, if not better, than mustard.
 
We need to buy a bigger cooker. Ours is too small for corned beef with the potatoes and cabbage. Next year for sure!

 
I am doing a spaghetti sauce today similar to ones that are all over the web:

1 pound of pork

1 pound of italian sausage,

Onion and some garlic

2 cans diced tomatoes (28 oz cans)

2 cans tomato paste (6 oz)

2 cans tomato sauce (8 oz)

basil/salt/brown sugar seasoning.

Cook for 8 hours on low....

The problem is my kids think they need to go over and take the lid off and stir it every hour. Stop touching my pot!!! :rant:

It turned out good, but needs to be spiced up. A little larger onion (I used a small onion) and could use more garlic, but since I am cooking for an 8 and 13 year old, I try not to fire it up too much.Garlic bread, Slutty Brownies for desert (recipe from the other thread), still a 20 pack in the garage, combined with Walking Dead and I have tomorrow off= this is going to be a great night. :excited:
 
Chuck or shoulder roast. Put crock pot on low heat. Add one package of Lipton Onion soup mix. No water.Just let it sit all day.Awesome!
Turned out amazingly good. :thumbup:
Did the same with 3 small deer roasts and the Lipton soup mix, added carrots, a yuca root peeled and cut like potatoes, apple quartered, 1 diced onion, 6 cloves garlic, chicken stock and and a little red wine. 16 hrs on low heat then served over a hearty bread... the results were amazing.

Grilling brats, burgers, & dogs for Wrestlemania tonight. Brats will go in one pot with beer/onions. I want to throw the burgers & dogs in another. Any ideas how to keep them warm without drying out? Just throw them in there? Little bit of water? Any help is appreciated!

It made a lot of food. It fed the four of us the initial night and then a leftover night later in the week and I actually ended up throwing a good chunk out (I didn't freeze it).

This turned out really well. I can see myself making this often like the Lazy mans pork. Very simple. I made a sandwich and poured some of the wing sauce right on top to spice it up. Then I just started forking the chicken in my mouth. I'll be having these sandwiches for lunch all week.

What kind of mustard?
I just use the French's yellow Mustard.
I could see this being great with franks red hot and honey mustard.
Absolutely. You can make it a hot chicken rather than Buffalo and it would be just as good. Seems really easy to modify depending on your preferences. I just wanted to try the original recipe. I was thinking a spicy mustard could be good too and you can really use any hot sauce you like.

I do something similar - throw some chopped onion in, no mustard, no vinegar - just the wing sauce.

Also, I pull it out and shred it after about 5 hours on low (rather than 4.5), then put it back in for an hour or two. Delicious. Always. Was it good with the shorter cook time?

It was very good. My cook time was only shorter because I had it set on high.

 
Just put 2lbs of pork spare ribs (bone in) into the crockpot and covered it with BBQ sauce....put some water in the bottom of the pot...and added a tablespoon of garlic, plus 1/2 an onion.

Can't wait to wake up to that smell
worked out pretty well
I've got a rack of ribs I'd like to do this weekend. I think I may try this with the chopped onion lining the bottom of the pot.

Does anyone have any other rib recipes/tips/ideas?
