Crock Pot Recipes

[Chief]

I love crock pot meals ... especially this time of year when it's getting colder.

Load it up in the morning, then come home at the end of the work day and the aroma fills your house and your supper is ready.

When I do a roast, I put two cans of French onion soup in it. Sometimes, I'll cook it in barbecue sauce.

With the stew, I usually just use tenderized stew meat (two packages, not one), mixed vegetables, tomato sauce (need to try Hos's version of using spicy V-8 instead), onions, some garlic powder, a little bit of salt and lots of pepper.

There is a great soup, but I don't have the specifics written down. It's called Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Soup. Basic ingredients are chicken (canned chicken will work if you're in a hurry), a couple of cans of cream of chicken, lots of fresh green chile (canned if you don't have it), lots of garlic, diced potatoes, and of course salt and pepper.

Insanely simple dish:

In a pan, lightly brown the ends of either side of a Top Round Sirloin Roast or Pork Loin. Salt and Pepper, then mix in with one can of Campbells Cream of Mushroom soup. Let it cook for about five hours and serve with a vegetable of choice and Mash Potatos. The Gravy is awesome!

CHALUPA


This is not a true chili, but if you like chili, you'll love Chalupa. It may be made ahead and re-heated and it freezes well.

1 lb. pinto beans​

3 lb. pork roast​

7 cups water​

1/2 cup chopped onion​

1 (4 oz) can chopped green chiles​

2 cloves garlic, minced tortilla chips​

1 Tbsp. salt​

2 Tbsp. chili powder​

1 Tbsp. cumin​

1 tsp. oregano​

Put all ingredients except corn chips in crock pot. Cover and simmer 5 hrs. or until roast falls apart and beans are tender. Uncover and cook 1/2 hr. until desired thickness. Serve over tortilla chips and pass toppings: chopped tomatoes, avocados, onions, shredded onions, grated cheese, picante sauce.

shoot, I thought his was the crack pot thread

You will crack your pot after eating that chili

i've rubbed my eyes the next day after preparing meals with jalapenos and washing my hands several times throughout the previous night and it still burns.

unreal.

My first job was washing dishes at a mexican fast food joint. I was washing the cutting board after someone cut up some jalapenos and not thinking I rubbed my eye. The manager comes by and my eye is fire red and watering. He just kind of laughed and asked if I was ok. I'd almost rather been kicked in the jimmy.

I was licking napkins for a good hour after that

A few years back, right after college, myself and a few drunk buddies decided to have a 'manly man' hot sauce contest. We each had to take a cap full of some crazy sauce that apparently had a Scoville score of 1,000,000.

It didn't end well. Worst vomiting I've ever seen....and I used to play rugby. Human torso's should not be stretched and compacted to those levels ever....

So no recipes for chicken?

lol, that reminds me of the Family Guy episode where Peter, Brian, Stewie and Chris each take a swig of some medicine, to see who can last the longest w/o throwing up

Hostile's Hotter than Hell Chili

This one is not for sissies.

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 cups of pinto beans (less if you have a small crock pot)
• 3 strips of bacon
• 1 red onion
• 1 habanero pepper
• 5 jalapenos
• 1 bell pepper
• 5 tablespoons red chili powder
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon jalapeno powder
• Course ground black pepper (pepper mill recommended)

2 cups of pinto beans in the crock pot add water to about halfway up the crock pot. Cut 3 strips of bacon into inch squares and add. Cook on low overnight.

Brown the ground beef. Sprinkle a lot of black ground pepper to season the beef. I usually grind the pepper mill for about 15 to 20 seconds. Drain the oil.

Add the ground beef to the cooked beans.

Finely dice all 5 jalapeno peppers, 1 habanero pepper, 1 bell pepper, and 1 red onion. Add to the mixture along with 5 tablespoons of red chili powder, 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon of jalapeno powder.

Cook for 4 hours stirring every 15 minutes.

Serve with grated cheese and Fritos and lots of ice water. Woowee.

Hos, the red chili powder you use, is it the all purpose with the cumin already included? I have to have cumin in my chili.
PS. And the pinto's are dry, right?

So I'm a 28 year old bachelor, and thus have never considered buying a Crock Pot.

I'm getting one tomorrow.... and bookmarking this thread.

For the bachelor, it's also good for making queso.

Brown some ground meat.
Velveeta cheese
roteil diced tomatos

Quick, cheap, and easy.

Just something I thought of.

Well, you know I don't eat pork, so I would've never suggested it. However, I could see how that works. Add some jalapenos to it for more "flavor," of course.

Gonna give this a try this coming weekend

Oh man. I've got to try that chili. The other recipes look good, but I haven't had a good spicy chili in a long time. I'll definitely be running by the store in the next couple of days to pick up a few remaining items.

I've honestly never looked at the chili powder ingredients since I consider chili powder an ingredient. Yes, dry pinto beans. The bacon will flavor them real nice.
