Made this yesterday with a rear round venison roast cut down into 3 more manageable pieces and some stew meat chunks. Modifications: Much more garlic, a tablespoon of maple syrup, a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, added some summer squash and the sliced mushrooms closer to the end of the cooking time. I served it over brown rice topped with shredded swiss cheese. It was fantastic!This is starting to smell pretty damned good right nowCoq au Vin

The other one I did was...I did a spiral cut ham. I had seen my MIL do this similarly at a get together this summer. We were at an RV park in Northwoods WI. (Awesome place) and we had 15+ people and her kitchen in her 5th wheel is tiny. So in order to get a dinner together, she did a ham or two in a slow cooker. They are already cooked.
You basically remove the meat from the bone and put as much as you want (great for leftovers in the crock pot. (freeze the rest!) Online there are many different recipes for what to put with the ham for liquid. I put a small amount of chicken stock.
I cooked it for about an hour and a half on low. You don't want to go too much, so it doesn't dry-out!
I received votes to redo both. Both were liked by all in my family, but the BBQ was inhaled by the little kids!!!Sweet Baby Ray's Crockpot Chicken
4-6 chicken breast*
1 btl Sweet Baby Ray's sauce
1/4 c vinegar
1 tsp red pepper flakes**
1/4 c brown sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
Mix everything but chicken
Place chicken in crockpot (frozen is ok)
Pour sauce mixture over chicken
Cook on low 4-6 hours.
*I did boness skinless chicken thighs. I think breasts tend to dry out. NBD. The other thing I did was to put a little seasoning on them and then brown them a bit before putting them in the pot. Just because I like things that way.
**I did not include the red pepper flakes because of young kids...I probably could have included them.
Not there! 404 - If you have the recipe, please post!!!Can't remember if I posted this or not so just in case http://www.tastycrockpotrecipes.net/articles.html Some good ideas in here
I know this isn't Crock Pot, but I marinated pork chops with Iron Chef General Tso, and then grilled them. Received approval from children!!!Righty roo.this is my meal tomorrow then.Bender, remember I told you about the General Tso glaze from Iron Chef?
I'm begging you... go buy it!!! http://www.mirrotek.com/images/GT15_1.jpg
Cook plain ol' chicken breasts (or preferably the thinner stir fry strips) either in the oven or crock pot, then heat a skillet... throw the chicken in there. Top it with a generous amount of the glaze and cook it over a high flame for about 4-5 minutes. Long enough for it to stick to the chicken.
Serve over white rice or just by itself.
Ridiculous how good this stuff is. I have it 2-3x a week.

Just made this yesterday. Don't know about a Nesco. I toss the juice after cooking, and put the shredded pork back in the crock with just the BBQ sauce. 5lbs does not yield a lot. Definitely not enough for 30 people. I would think you'd need 15 to 20 lbs for that many.Lazy Mans Pulled Pork

We only have one crock pot. Can these be done in our Nesco? What setting for that? How will the timing change?
Can I cut these to fit better in the crock pot/Nesco?
It looks you discard the juices for LMPP and it just goes back in with the BBQ sauce once shredded. Do you put the shredded beef back in the juices once it gets shredded? Does that get mixed and served with the giardinera?
Also approximately how many servings does this yield? I think we're having 30+ people (about half kids). Will 5# of each be enough?
Maybe a littleThe rice doesn't take weird/mushy in the pocket?

Interesting. Curious how it comes out. About how much chicken is that? A pound?Trying this tomorrow:
Chicken taco chili
200 calories a serving and made 8 servings
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can corn kernels
16 oz tomato sauce
28 oz diced tomatoes
1 packet taco seasoning
1 tbsp chili powder
3 boneless chicken breasts
10 hours low
Not real sure. I put in 5 chicken tenderloins (guessing 1.25lbs.)Interesting. Curious how it comes out. About how much chicken is that? A pound?Trying this tomorrow:

Bump. What do you do with the juices? Does the meat sit in it or should it be decanted for dipping?It looks you discard the juices for LMPP and the meat just goes back in with the BBQ sauce once shredded. Do you put the shredded Italian beef back in the juices once it gets shredded? Does that get mixed and served with the giardinera?Lazy Man's Italian Beef

I'm making 10lbs of this in my roaster this weekend. I'll report back times and temps if anyone cares. Also doing two 5lb LMPP in two separate crock pots.
Also what about concerns over quicker cooking times with newer crock pots? Our meals always seem to be ready much sooner than the times some recipes call for.
TIA
Definitely want to keep the juices for the beef (the giardinera juice is what makes it awesome), but I would remove the fat either with a fat skimming measuring cup or by refrigerating and removing solid chunks of fat.Bump.

I did a variation of this today. Chicken, Franks Red Hot, butter, apple cider vinegar, spicy mustard and yellow mustard. Mixed/heated the wet ingredients in a sauce pan and poured over the chicken in the crock pot and tossed in some minced onion. Was good...but I wanted something more. So I added a little brown sugar, honey, cayenne and white pepper. Turned into a sweet and spicy chicken. Toasted a kaiser bun, piled on the chicken and added a slice of provolone. Damn tasty.It was very good. My cook time was only shorter because I had it set on high.I do something similar - throw some chopped onion in, no mustard, no vinegar - just the wing sauce.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 could see this being great with franks red hot and honey mustard.I just use the French's yellow Mustard.What kind of mustard?Tomorrow ill be making Shredded Buffalo Chicken for sandwiches. 6 large chicken breasts Franks wing sauce 1/2 cup Mustard 1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup 4.5 hours on high, shred chicken and put back in sauce, another half hour on high.
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?
This is really good. I did a few modifications but stayed pretty close to the recipe.Tomorrow I'm going to try something along this line http://allrecipes.com/recipe/slow-cooker-chicken-chili-with-greens-and-beans/

I did this yesterday and it worked out great. My kids don't like spicy so I just did a little bit of crushed red pepper and there was no heat on this.Did a couple crock pot recipes in the last last couple weeks. As far as I'm concerned they work for summer. They don't put out lots of heat, so they work like a grill!!
