Put onion slices into the bottom of your crockpot. Put the pork on top. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, and peanut butter. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-6. flip the meat over in the crockpot to allow the other side to soak up the peanutbuttery goodness.

@scg00387: omg that cobbler has me drooling on my iPad!
-
@scg00387: I made the pineapple pork shred tonight - sooo good! Thanks!
-
@babyjmama: I'm all about desserts in the crockpot.. I just marked a peanut butter cake recipe from a vegan slowcooker recipe book. NOMNOMNOM!
@Shutterbug: yay! so glad
-
Lots of recipes here I want to try!!!
-
@Ash: I made the lasagna...yum!
-
@autumnlove: Yay! It's so delicious!
-
@SupernovaJ: omgosh, yum! Looks really good.

Alright, I am slow cooking!
Yesterday I prepped a pork shoulder for pulled pork sandwiches, which I then froze. I also made a lasange, also frozen.
So far nothing is cooking, but I have that on the plan for Wednesday. I think I need to do the lasagne because it's currently in the insert, in the freezer. I don't think it was the smartest thing to do, maybe I should take it out tonight just to pull the bag out and refreeze?
Gah, why is this so complicated! I am a decent cook too!
-
And here I was patting mahselfs on the back for making crockpot chili last night . . . because I *never* plan ahead, and I totally need to! Dinner should not be stressful!
@swurlygurl: LOL and ditto! My world has been rocked and my mind blown!
ETA: I totally wish there was an option to print threads! @MrBee . . . is that possibility?

One of our favs is beer roast!
You quickly sear a roast on both sides, and put it in the crock with a packet of dry onion soup mix, two cans cream of mushroom soup, a bottle or can of beer (any kind) and as many pepperoncinis as you like with a generous splash of juice from the jar. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
We usually make sliders on dinner rolls with this recipe. So good! -
So on Tuesday night I planned ahead to make the lasagne I had frozen. I took the entire insert out of the freezer and put it in the base. My husband bought an extension cord that he can remote control over the internet, so we could turn the cooker on at noon. I let the lasagne cook on low for 6 hours, turning it off when i got home around 5:30. We ate it about an hour later, at room temp. I was able to get 2 nice portions of leftover and the cleanup was a snap because i used a liner.
I AM A CONVERT! I spent a few minutes this morning browsing Real Simple's website, they have some really nice options for slow cooker meals that are a little more refined, which suits our tastes better.

@looch: awesome! That's so clever with the remote start thing. Please post links to recipes you try out and like!
-
@looch: OMG REMOTE START?!?!?!
-
@babyjmama, @mrskc: I can't take the credit, it was my husband. The whole thing started because I wanted a slow cooker with the insert that you can put on the stove and sear in. So instead properly researching and looking for something with a timer, I bought the first one I saw from Breville. My husband, who's pretty tech saavy, said he had a solution and promptly ordered a cable for it.
What's sad, is that I am paranoid it's going to set the house on fire, so for now, we've set up a foscam so I can check the cooker. We're sad.
-
@looch: hahaha I can totally picture your co-worker walking by and seeing you watching a slow cooker surveillance video!
-
@Shutterbug: totally!
I am starting to relax a bit with it, I just have this irrational fear that my house is going to burn down because of this obsession with having dinner on the table when we get home!

I love cooking turkey breasts in the crock pot.
I just slice some onions and layer it on the bottom, put the turkey breast on top and put some chicken stock on it. I usually make mashed potatoes on the side, but I've thrown carrots in there as well. Cook on low for 5-7 hours. -
@sarbear: turkey breast is a great idea!
@looch: LOL! The mental picture in mind of a crockpot on a foscam is hilarious.
-
For your viewing pleasure!
-
@looch: bwahaha that's awesome. Do you use an app to view the foscam?
-
@looch: That is cool!
-
@babyjmama: i made the creamy italian chicken! DH loved it, but it was a little - something - for me sadly
sat weird. it did taste good though!
-
@sorrycharlie: awe...sad you didn't love it but I'm glad Dh liked it
-
I made these pork chops today (with way less oil - I used about a table spoon and increased the stock to a whole can) and they were tender and delicious! The sauce turned into a yummy gravy with a bit of corn starch and I served it with potatoes and asparagus. Will make again for sure

I am currently making a recipe @Boogs: posted...Korean Beef Tacos. They smell AMAZING. http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2011/11/slow-cooker-shredded-korean-beef-tacos.html
According to her; I did do a couple of tweaks, though. I added green onion and cilantro to the slaw mixture for some added kick. I also made a little sauce to go on top -- a mixture of mayo, sour cream, sriracha, & bacon fat! You could also whip up your own sauce. This would also make for an excellent burrito if paired with your favorite rice!
If this goes well, I am definitely going to use my slow cooker more often.
Do any of you ladies pre-prep and freeze slow cooker meals? I'm thinking that might be great for when I go on maternity leave this fall/winter.

I just found this link through Pinterest and thought I would share. I haven't looked through the recipes but they are all crockpot recipes that don't included processed ingredients like canned soup.
