Corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot - lots of recipes online, the only way to go.

Easy crockpot roast:

1 small to medium roast
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 pkg McCormick's brown gravy mix
2 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
2 pkg Good Seasons Italian dressing mix
1-2 small yellow onions
1 pkg baby carrots
1-2 potatoes

Sear roast on all sides in frypan (I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
spread the garlic on the bottom of the crock
drop in roast
add all dry ingredients (on top of roast)
if the onions are small, add whole; if larger, cut up; add them
empty carrot bag into crock
cut potatoes into bite-size pieces; add them
water to top of crock

Crock on medium or high (depending on your device) overnight.

So fast, so easy, so cheap, so delicious.

not a cook/chef myself...

Thanks for this thread, G. I have a crock pot and I love using it. I am definitely going to try that pulled pork, it sounds delicious!

I usually avoid the crockpot for everything but beef stew and chili because it all ends up tasting like mush. I've never had success with any kind of chicken, and the steak I've cooked turned out OK (pulled type sandwiches) but I still prefer the grill for beef.
Chili is incredibly easy in the crockpot and is pretty fool proof.

I LOVE my Crock Pot. Use it once a week during the fall/winter. Makes for a delicious dinner with proper planning. Usually some kind of meat with carrots and potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic, onion are standards...

I've recently made a pork loin with ginger soy sesame salad dressing poured in. It was so tender and yummy.

Last week I made a pot roast with a can of coke poured in with the other ingredients. Seriously...it was fabulous.

Then a few weeks ago I made a brisket with a newcastle beer poured in. Wow! Delish!

I prep the night before, minus the liquid, and keep it in the fridge. Then in the a.m. take it out, plug it in and pour the liquid. Go easy on the liquid...too much makes the meat soggy.

Crock pots are great for making stock because you can just forget about the bones all day long!

LaFemme that sounds delectable. I will have to try it!

I make pot roasts all the time in my Crock Pot. For the last one I half-followed some weird Polish recipe that said to scald the roast in vinegar. I'd never heard of that before. Maybe I just used an especially tender and tasty piece of beef, but it turned out my best pot roast ever. I poured about 1/3 cup of boiling apple cider vinegar over the roast in the Crock Pot before I turned it on. Gave it a nice flavor and maybe accomplished the same thing as searing.
