jnelsoninjax Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I know there was a thread awhile ago about sharing recipes, but I am interested in starting one about cooking in the slow cooker. I find that the food tastes so much different when cooked in the slow cooker and it is so effective! I'll start by sharing what I made yesterday. Chicken and Sausage Gumbo: 1 bag skinless, boneless chicken breasts 1 package of sausages (any flavor will work) 1 Jar (32 oz) of Salsa (I used medium, but you can use any type you like) 1/4 cup lemon juice, or juice from 2 fresh lemons 2 Limes cut into quarters 2 cups of rice, any type 1-2 cups water 1 pkg of hamburger buns Start by placing the chicken in the crock pot, season the chicken with your choice of seasonings. Add approximately 1/2 the jar of salsa on top of the chicken. Add the sausages whole (or cut, again your choice) , add the lemon juice, squeeze the limes into the sauce mix, and toss them into the pot for extra flavor. Add the rice into the salsa mix, stir it in making sure that is it fully incorporated into the sauce. If the chicken and sausage are not completely covered you can either add the rest of salsa or add water, just until the meats are covered. Cover the crock pot, cook on low for 6-8 hours or High for about 4 hours until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 180F/82C, if you don't have a meat thermometer, a good method for telling if it's done is if the chicken breasts are falling apart when you stir them. Enjoy! BBQ Pulled Pork 1 Pork shoulder or tenderloin 1 jar of barbecue sauce 1 16 oz can of beer 1/4 cup of lemon juice 1 16 oz bag of shredded cheese Place the pork into the crock pot. Add the barbecue sauce and the beer on top of the pork Add the lemon juice Cover and cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 150F/65C Using two forks shred the pork and mix it into the sauce. Add the cheese and serve on the buns Enjoy! xrobwx71 and devHead 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallithrax Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) We cooked a "chilli" in the slow cooker today. Ingredients: 2x jars chilli cooking sauce New Potatoes - sliced Carrots Onions Green Beans Sweetcorn 3x Chillis Method: Place all ingredients into slow cooker and cook until it gets to a temperature of "###### me that's hot". We are having some spare ribs with this that we are cooking separately. Previously we have cooked joints of pork and beef - both turn out extremely tender, just falls apart. Chicken as well just falls off the bone when done this way. We also have done stews/casseroles, although we rarely follow any actual recipe. Next time I am going to try some spare ribs in whatever we cook to see how they turn out. I do have a couple of recipe books for slow cookers that I should dig out to try some new stuff.

metallithrax Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 We actually have some garlic and coriander naan bread that just might get eaten along with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had that, sounds good though. Do you make your chili spicy? I love a bowl of hot and spicy chili! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallithrax Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Yeah, this one is a jar of hot and a jar of mild sauce, but we put in 1 green chilli and 2 red chillis so it has a reasonable kick. If I wanted more kick, I have some dried ghost peppers in the cupboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikey_richie Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 We do slow cooked lamb shanks in ours. Chop some carrots and leeks into big wedges, put the minted lamb shanks in and cover with water. Check a basil leaf on the top for a little extra flavour. Cook for 8-10hrs on low, and serve with mashed potato (preferably Maris Piper or King Edwards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since that stuff dissolves teeth, it also does wonders on muscle fibers. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
