I need some slow cooking ideas/recipes...

Can't go wrong with a good slow cooked pot roast!

I saw this in the magazine and finally got around to making it.
It was every bit as good as it looked in the pictures. Definitely not labor free like a slow cooker recipe, but worth it.

Also always buy pre-seasoned they say. It saves you a lot of work to season them in properly w/ oil n stuff.

Nice work.

I baby my cast iron, hand wash it without detergent and oil it down after every use.

My wife and I have been experimenting with a few slow cooked Indian recipes. Thus far, my two favorites are chicken curry and lentils. I'll try to post them later today.

Lentils. I have never eaten those before. Look forward to your directions.

Here is a quick Pork Adobo Recipe I make often in our house. Very easy and simple to make

Ingredients

1x Pork Roast (4LB) boneless - cut into bite sized pieces
3 tsp Olive Oil/Vegie Oil
1x finely chopped white onion
2-3 tablespoons minced/crushed garlic
1/3 cup Soy Sauce (maybe a bit more depending on how much meat you have) You want a nice soft brown color to the stew. Anything darker than that is probably too much SS.
1/4 cup Red vinegar
1 cup cold water


Directions:

In a stew pot place your oil and onion and garlic and simmer until it all starts popping and the onions turn clear. Once that is done you can throw in all the meat and cover it. Bring your burner up to about medium high and let it boil 20 minutes and then back off the heat so its just barely boiling. Now add your soy sauce and water and re-cover and continue the slow boil for another 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes are up you can then add the red vinegar. The vinegar here is important. Its only added to take a lot of the salt out of the soy and give the mix more of a balanced taste. Be careful not to use a lot of vinegar. Stir things up here and continue boiling for at least another 15 minutes or so. While you are waiting on this final step you can begin preparing your Jasmine Rice in your rice cooker.

Always always wash your rice. Rice is notoriously dirty no matter which kind you buy. Its just the way it is so always rinse it real well before cooking. Remember 1.5 cups of water to every cup of rice you use. 2 cups btw its a GOB of rice.

Always taste your food while cooking. If you feel that the vinegar is too much, you can offset this by adding some more soy.

Kick the tires on that sometime. I am asked to make it all of the time. YOu can mess w/ the recipe as much as you want. Its a very easy and quick meal to get going and cooked once you get it down.

Enjoy! Not really a slow cooking recipe - It usally takes an 1 hr to 1.5 hrs to get completed but you can do the roast completely seperate in a slow cooker like you would w/ say the Kahlua pig roast.

I might hole punch the roast and fill w/ garlic cloves and oil it down then add a nice rub of say sea-salt-pepper-onion powder-chopped onion and let that slow cook for like 10 hrs w/ a small amount of water to get it started.

Looks good. You can make easy BBQ for sandwiches this way, too. Obviously, the real thing is better... but for no-fuss BBQ sandwiches, do the same thing you described, except remove the beef from the pot & shread with forks. then start adding your favorite BBQ sauce to get the consistency you like. Clean out the pot, then add the bbq beef back in to warm. serve on your favorite bun.

I do the same thing with venison . Makes good BBQ . Venison is great cooked in a slow cooker .

It may be difficult to get excited about beans, but a crock pot is a great way to do beans (pinto, red, black, cranberry, etc.). Sometimes we do it on Saturdays at my house.

Yeah, I agree. The crockpot is the best way to make beans.

These recipes are from Crockin Girls. I made this Chicken Tortilla Soup and it was good. One modification I made was the cheddar cheese soup. I only used half of the can and added some Velveeta cheese crumbles.

2-3 cups of raw chicken cut into 1 inch pieces
1 can rotel tomatoes
1 8oz can tomato sauce
2 cans chicken broth (14 1/2 oz each)
1 can cheddar cheese soup
2 cups carrots (I used the "carrot chips" that are cut like pickles, and cut them in half)
1/2 bag frozen corn
1 large onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced

SEASONINGS: Add these in with the soup while cooking... I just wanted these to be separate, so they could be changed up if needed This is what I did, but alter it to fit your families likes!
Ground cumin: 1/4 tsp
Chili powder: 1/2 tablespoon
Cilantro: I just chopped up a handful!
Salt and Pepper to taste

GARNISHES:
2 avocados cut into small bites
Shredded cheese (I used this new kind of mexican cheese with cream cheese mixed in... SO GOOD!)
Tortilla chips

Chicken & Dumplings. I made this recipe but used Bisquick mix for the dumplings.

Chicken and Dumplings:
Feel free to substitute any ingredients you wish, and increase/decrease amounts for the size of your family!
4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons of butter
1 (10.75 oz) can of cream of chicken soup

3 1/2 cups of chicken broth
1 onion, finely diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup carrots, diced

*As for the dumplings… You can make your own dumplings, or use 1 (10 oz) package of refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces

1. EXCLUDING THE BISCUITS put all ingredients in…
2. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours.
3. About an hour (give or take) before serving, remove chicken and pull into pieces and return to the soup mixture, place the torn biscuit dough in and cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center.
