I'm making the goon pulled pork recipe (brown sugar + Worcestershire) for the third time today, and it's been a big hit with my boyfriend/roommates/friends. I'd recommend it to anybody. It's so easy and delicious and cheap! I have plans for making chili and lasagna in there soon, and I'll check back here to let you all know how it goes. Here's a great livejournal community (livejournal, I know, I know) for crock pot recipes and general discussion that I recently found: http://community.livejournal.com/what_a_crock

I've never done this before, but I'm making chili in my crock right now. I pretty much just looked at some crockpot chili recipes online and then threw a whole bunch of stuff in my crock loosely based on what I read. Here's what I did ~1 lb ground beef, browned diced tomatoes tomato sauce tomato paste black beans pinto beans kidney beans diced onion/green pepper/celery 1 packet of chili seasoning some cayenne pepper It looks pretty good so far, I'll taste it a couple hours before dinner and probably add more spices. I don't think the spice packet was meant to make this much chili so it's probably lacking a bit. Any suggestions? I mean I think I'm doing okay. It LOOKS like good chili so I'm probably on the right track!

jerkstore77 posted:Looks good, but how thick is it getting with the tomato sauce? I'd be afraid it would be too thin for a chili. It actually turned out pretty great. It was thick enough, the tomato paste helped a lot. I ended up not having to add any spices. My roommates and boyfriend enjoyed it, so I'm satisfied. I'll definitely be doing this chili again, maybe with more vegetables next time (zucchini? corn?). I'll be trying some crockpot lasagna soon!

publicblast posted:2) Learned this from an awesome cookbook: slow cookers are awesome for making Caramelized Onions. Why stand in front of the stove for 1-2 hours, stirring the pot like an idiot, when you can set up the crock pot, go to sleep, and wake up feeling like you've just made love to a pot of French onion soup? This is such an awesome idea... mmmm

I did the white chili and I thought it was bland until adding a fuckload of cheese, cilantro and some sour cream (as suggested). Even then, I would probably sub out a bunch of beans for various veggies next time. I still like normal tomato-based chili better.

Cross posting from the dumb questions thread: So I want to crisp up the skin of a slow-cooked chicken. I have a crock pot with a stone insert (this), so I figure I can just pop it in the oven for a little bit, right? Should I do this before I cook the chicken, or at the end of cooking time? Approximately how long/what temperature?

I've done that with a whole chicken several times with great success. Did you have it on high or low, and how long was it in there for?

I don't know a ton about what "good" bbq sauce should be like, but I love Stubb's on pulled pork.

I think all slow cookers have that removable pot, but the liner just makes cleanup SO EASY. And I hate cleaning so much. Totally worth it. By the way, to the guy above who said the pulled pork was a bit dry -- you gotta add some of that delicious juice left in your crock!

I did this once and it turned out pretty tasty: http://accidentalscientist.blogspot.com/2006/02/easiest-ribs-youll-ever-make-or-love.html I'm still trying to figure out what to make for that game too.
