Thinking about getting one before I go back to work. </p> <p>What about Thermal Cooker? Anyone have? Recipes? I like to drink soups and more chinese both type, but thinking it's not economical to have one cooker to do this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-cooker-recipes#post-61842 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:21:39 +0000 heffalump 61842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chicagowife: I did that the other day too, it was soooo yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-cooker-recipes#post-61830 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:29:01 +0000 chicagowife 61830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a slow cooker cookbook from the library, and it had a great tip: You can basically put any type of meat in the slow cooker (beef, chicken, pork) with any type of sauce (salad dressing, pasta sauce, bbq sauce), and it will turn tender and delish. I tried it the other day by putting chicken and bbq sauce in the slow cooker for 8 hours. It was a delicious shredded consistency and we put it on bread for sandwiches, like pulled chicken! Yummmm..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-cooker-recipes#post-61813 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 14:09:04 +0000 BabyBruins 61813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a really easy chili recipe for the slow cooker.<br /> Brown 1 lb of ground beef or ground turkey, drain off fat.<br /> Put in slow cooker and add 3 cans of beans. I usually do black beans, white beans and pinto beans, but any kind will work.<br /> Add 1 jar of Pace salsa.<br /> Set on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours.<br /> So easy and good. And lots of fiber and folate for the pregnant mommies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-cooker-recipes#post-61257 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:18:37 +0000 Crisark 61257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Red: OMG I'm making that pork tomorrow!! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-cooker-recipes#post-61247 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:52:34 +0000 heffalump 61247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Thank for sharing, that looks yummy!

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, &amp; bacon fat! You could also whip up your own sauce. This would also make for an excellent burrito if paired with your favorite rice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-cooker-recipes#post-50109 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:26:58 +0000 BoogieBea 50109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was totally thinking about getting a Crock pot recently.

Here are a few on my faves:</p> <p>Overnight Oatmeal</p> <p>Recipe (2 medium-sized servings)<br /> ½ cup steel cut oats<br /> ¼ cup half &amp; half (or creamer)<br /> 2 cups water (less if you like your oatmeal thicker)</p> <p>* Add to cooked oatmeal: brown sugar and/or dried fruit (dried blueberries from Costco are yummy and good for you) </p> <p>-Cooking directly in crockpot burns the oatmeal onto the side of the pot, so use the water-bath method.<br /> -Place an oven-safe bowl inside the crockpot and fill it with the steel cut oats, half &amp; half, and water. Fill the crockpot space around the bowl with water up to the level of the ingredients. --Cook it on low for 7-8 hours. If your crockpot has an auto-warm function after the cook time, the oatmeal won’t dry up much even after 5 hours on warm.<br /> -In the morning, add whatever you want for extra flavor and enjoy. </p> <p>Water-bath method described in detail in this link (the revised version midway down) : <a href="http://www.mommyskitchen.net/2009/01/overnight-crock-pot-oatmeal.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mommyskitchen.net/2009/01/overnight-crock-pot-oatmeal.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-cooker-recipes#post-50077 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 20:35:52 +0000 chopsuey 50077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ale braised short ribs:<br /> ingredients:<br /> 4-5lb cut into 3 inch pieces<br /> salt and freshly ground pepper<br /> yellow onions- 2 thinly sliced<br /> garlic-3 cloves, sliced<br /> butternut squash-1, about 2 pounds, peeled and cut into chunks<br /> diced roma tomatoes- 1 can with juice (14.5 ounceS)<br /> ale or dark beer- 1 bottle (12 oz)<br /> flour- 3 tablespoons</p> <p>1. brown the short ribs, about 3 minutes on each side, transfer the ribs to the slow cooker<br /> 2. scatter the onions and garlic over the ribs. add the squash. pout in the tomatoes with their juice and the ale. cover and cook on the high setting for 5-6 hours or low for 7-8 hours. the meat should be separating from teh bones and the squash should be tender.<br /> 3. thicken the sauce<br /> using a slotted spoon transfer the ribs and squash to a bowl and cover loosely with foil. skim off the excess fat from the surface of the sauce. put the slow cooker on high heat. in small bowl whisk flour and 1/4 cup of water. whisk the flour mixture into the sauce and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
