Here's one:

But the BIGGEST portion of boneless pork/beef you can. But, make sure it will fit in the CP. (I like to eat a lot, but you can use smaller)

The following morning:
Poor 1 1/2 inches of water in the CP.
Open your spice rack, choose any number of spices/seasonings/etc. that go good with meat, throw however much you want in there.
Turn the CP on low.
Add veggies if you feel like it.
Leave to go to work.
When you come home, you have a wonderful dish!

The best part is, because of this "recipie" it is different, but delicious, all the time.
I don't follow recipies, I just experiment.

Hi, justcurious55!

When I was growing up, I remember an aunt who made the most delicious dishes using a crock pot and she had green beans, potatoes and ham in it. Or, variations, thereof. But, the green beans were the main ingredient.

To me, the taste and tenderness of the green beans after having been cooked all day, just couldn't be beat!

I don't have any particular recipes in mind. But, to me, if you cook green beans with other things in a crock pot, you can't go wrong! It's a true delight for an eating pleasure!

Have fun with your crock pot!

Thanks!

These 2 come from the 'Rival' CP cook book, but I've changed a little and make a couple times a year and love.

No Peek Beef Casserole
2 Lbs sirloin chopped like stew meat (or stew meat)
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 can cream of mushroom or chicken soup
8 oz or so of sliced mushrooms
and if you want throw in a coarse chopped onion
1/2 cup red wine (I prefer Chianti)
Stir everything together in the CP and cook on low 8-12 or high 5-6 hours

"Chicken Lickin' Good" Pork chops
6-8 lean pork chops 1" thick
1/2 cup flour
1 T sea salt
1 1/2 teas dry mustard
1/2 teas garlic powder
2 TBL canola/olive oil
1 can chicken and rice soup

coat the pork chops in the first 4 ingredients and brown in the oil in cast iron skillet. Put them in the CP, add the can of soup and cook.
low 6-8
high 3 1/2

Oh and one more similar to 'HelpinHere' recipe.
Throw a chuck roast or pork roast in and add Southwestern seasonings like Oregano, Cayenne, Chili powder, garlic... and one small can tomato sauce (the little one around 6 oz. I think) and cook all day
It makes great taco meat or Burritos or for a salad.

My old (20 years) CP used to cook on low and high and be perfect. My new and bigger one cooks on Low, High and Warm. Sometimes I have to use the Low setting instead of High and Warm instead of Low, otherwise it cooks too fast. I always start it out on the correct setting for 1/2 hour and then turn it down. You might need to experiment.

Have fun!

I don't have a specific recipe for you but I will only add that you can buy the most inexpensive cuts of meat and still end up with very tender and juicy dish.

I did brown my meat in flour first to seal in the juices but that was all the prep I had to do.

I used to throw all my ingredients in before work and when I got home all I ever had to do was dish it up.

For that reason alone ,it was worth its weight in gold

HelpinHere agrees: Yep! Different prep, but a good "welcome home" meal! :)
Just Dahlia agrees: Off subject, but I love the new Wolf! :)
