Boy! that didn't take long. Here's a good one and it was a big favorite. Warhorse had posted it and we ended up calling it Warhorse's Brown Sugar Chicken.


Brown Sugar Chicken

1 to 1 1/2 pounds deboned chicken, cut into pieces
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup 7-Up
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Place chicken pieces in crockpot. Mix all ingredients and pour over chicken. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.

Served over rice or noodles.

Another Chicken Recipe

Aw, Pat, sweet and NICE of you to remember that was my posting. Yup, that's my fave. In fact we had it the other night once again. My son LOVES it. It's terrific left-over, also.

I have a few other good crockpot recipes, I will have to dig them up. One is sooooo good, it's a barbecue chicken one. BBL.....

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g258/PatC_pics/smilies/whew.gif I'm sure glad I didn't try to take credit for it. :67302:

Seriously, though, we like it too. I tried it with some pork steaks instead of chicken one night and that was good too.

[SavannahStar]

Shredded Barbecue Chicken

4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
8 buns

Place chicken breasts in the crockpot and cook on high until done, a couple of hours. Take breasts out and shred the meat.
Stir together all the sauce ingredients. Add the shredded chicken and heatin the crockpot on low an hour or so.
Serve on buns.

I got this one from Recipezaar, one of my favorite recipe sites. I changed the directions just a tad bit to make it easier to understand.

Here was my "review" of this recipe:

PHENOMENAL! I loooove this recipe! I normally don't like shredded chicken barbecue sandwiches; I'm strictly a pork barbecue lover, but this recipe sure turned that around. Totally awesome. Crushed red pepper flakes is one of my favorite ingredients...I think that and the vinegar just made this recipe for me. VERY authentic barbecue flavor. 5 stars!

This sounds really yummy but I finally found a way to make really good ribs at home.

A couple Christmas' ago we bought a Rival Crockpot BBQ Pit.
OMG!! I'm sure you southerners will laugh your butts off at the northerner, but this thing makes THE best ribs, ever. The bones come right out and since they don't lay around in the juices from regular crock pot cooking, the sauce bakes right in.

http://homecooking.about.com/od/kitchenequipmentreviews/gr/crockbbqpit.htm

If you buy one, the insert is a PITA to clean, spray it with Pam before using each time, that helps a lot! But boy, the ribs are worth it!

Tam, I won't laugh at anybody who finds a way to make good BBQ. But remember, somebody asked for help with crockpot recipes. Now if we're talking BBQ.....

This family is filled with BBQ fiends. My BIL and I are sorta friendly rivals at BBQ IF you equate BBQ with cooking on a grill that is.... and we cook pretty much everything, with the exception of baking a cake which I'd still like to try one day, on a grill.

Here at my house I have two stand-alone charcole grills, one with a smoke box on the side and a gas grill (seldom used) and a small, table-top grill.

At my BILs, there is a stand-alone grill with the side smoke box, a vertical smoker and a couple of table-top grills.

Either of us.... and, frankly, both of us together, can make you some ribs so good you'll want to slap your mama. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g258/PatC_pics/smilies/bwahaha.gif

DH swears he's going to put my kitchen stove on eBay since I don't use it most of the time. LOL

One of my favorite fruits too. Do you like yours with the sauce cooked on or the sauce on the side?

[KittyMom]

My kids are very picky eaters. I've found one dish that they love and its so easy.

I put in chicken pieces (usually whatever's on sale) with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cover with water. Cook, and shred the meat. Then add back to the pot and add whole grain spagetti noodles. Cook them till tender. The kids eat it up and its great on a cold rainy day or if they're feeling puny.

Sauce on! That's what makes the pit so great! They come out perfect!

Good ribs make you need a shower afterward, ya know what I mean? :girl_haha:

From my experience you can hardly ruin chicken cooked in a crock pot. This recipe is from WendyRN.


Wendy's Yummy Chicken

1 pack chicken thighs, skinless and all the fat cut off
1 small bag fresh mini carrots
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 can Cream of Chicken & Mushroom Soup
1 can Low Fat Chicken Gravy
1 package saffron rice
2 tbsp butter

Layer carrots along bottom of crock pot.

Brown the chicken in butter and layer it on top of the carrots. Add sliced mushrooms between layers of chicken. Deglaze pan with COCM soup and chicken gravy. Pour over chicken. cook on low for 8 hours or on Hi for 4 hours.

During the last hour, add package of saffron rice and let it cook.

Nanny's Southern Green Beans

1/2 cup water
2 pounds green beans (fresh or frozen)
3 slices of Salt Pork
4 med potatoes, peeled and cubed
Salt

Brown the salt pork just a tad in a skillet. Place potatoes on bottom of crock pot. Add green beans and salt pork, stirring to mix them up.

Pour in 1/2 cup water and add salt to preference.

Serve with hot cornbread and sliced tomatoes, cucumbers and onions and you got yourself a southern feast.


ETA: I just noticed she didn't post how long to cook, but I'd think on low it would take 4-6 hours.

My mother used to make a chocolate fudge-like icing for me when I was a kid. It was a cooked icing and it's really tricky to make.... like making fudge from scratch. ...and she didn't have a candy thermometer either.

It would firm up on the cake and if even slightly over cooked, it'd crack when you sliced into the cake but ooooooh was it good.

When you say converted rice, is that like Minute Rice that comes in the box?

No, converted rice is beige in color, lighter than brown rice but it tastes a lot like white rice, and it has more nutrients.

Anyone got an easy crock pot soup recipe?

Anyone got an easy crock pot soup recipe?

:0012: G'morning, KittyMom.


I don't usually use a recipe for a soup since the way I grew up, soup was what you made when it was time to use up leftovers. :smile: And with a crock pot you can put pretty much anything that you want in it and cook it long enough and you have soup.

I did find THIS LOCATION (http://southernfood.about.com/library/crock/blsoup.htm) though with L-O-T-S of crock pot soup recipes.

Just figure out what you want for a main ingredient and have fun. If you find one you think is outstanding, share it with us, please.

[wendy]

ooh great link, pat!

I made the pork chops with cream of mushroom soup, loved it and I'm making it again tomorrow! Delish!

Anyone remember what thread the cornbread recipe is in? I think it's BL's. I loves me some cornbread and really want to try that one.

Yep, made it last night. I keep a ziploc bag in the freezer and throw most leftover veggies in there. I made a roast (in the crockpot) Sunday, and cut that up, added my bag of veggies, an extra bag of corn, a head of cabbage I had put up from the garden, some seasonings and a jar of canned tomato juice. Dinner ready for tonight......

I think I will find that corbread recipe to go with it....:022:

I'll share my cornbread recipe. My family begs for it.

2 cups of corn meal (not self rising)
3 tablespoons of all purpose flour
1 tsp of baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 beaten egg
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons oil

Mix dry ingredients the add the egg and buttermilk. You may have to add a little more milk to get the consistency just right. It should be thinner than pancake batter.

Put the oil in an iron skillet and heat the skillet on the stove top. Or if you are using a baking pan, heat the pan in the oven. Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes or until the bottom is browned. Turn on broiler until the top of the bread is golden.

CROCK POT PORK CHOPS W/ TATERS, CARROTS & ONIONS

pork chops- (you can use regular or the thin breakfast chops)
taters- (i use the red ones) about 5 or 6 small to med, just sliced in half; i leave the skin on
carrots- i use a bag of baby carrots just cos it's easier..but you can chop your own of course
onion- one medium
cream of mushroom soup- (or cream of celery) 2 cans (the recipe only calls for 1 can..but i like to put 2 for more "juice")

put a layer of taters on bottom of crock pot, then a layer of carrots, then onions, and put pork chops on top (browned first) dump in your cans of soup (condensed, no water) add in salt, pepper, garlic etc whatever you like for seasoning cook on low for 6-8 hrs or high for 4 hrs....it's DEE-lish...you can't screw it up!!

I am definitely going to try this one soon!

[nanabillie]

You can always cook a meatloaf in the crock pot. I did that when I worked and it was ready for supper. Just mixed it up the night before and threw it into the crock before going to work. Low all day, best I remember. Probably according to your crock.

Another favorite from PatC
BROWN SUGAR CHICKEN
I substituted and used Strawberry Jam but it was still delicious! I've shared this slow cook recipe with my family and friends.

I am glad PatC left me a PM, it is time to try another one of these wonderful recipes. It just really makes cooking so much easier.

Boy, did you get a deal on that crock pot! Congratulations. You know, I hadn't thought of that chicken recipe in a while, I may try it with jam too.

Thanks for the update.

Wow.....I bought the exact same crock pot for DS and DIL for Christmas. That's what they wanted because of their hectic schedule. She uses hers almost everyday.

I made a Pot Roast in my slow cooker today. Prepared just like for the oven.
The only thing I did differently is to brown the Roast on each side. (5 min each side) It was delicious and fell completely apart.

Yum, thanks for kick-starting me back toward that wonderful Crock Pot.

I am really anxious to try that Crock Pot Cake Recipe.
I'll let you know how that turns out as well.

So, I just printed out all the recipes. I'm taking them on vacation with me to Muskogee and maybe we can cook some at son's house. They all looked good,but the chocolate fudge cake intrigues me.....

OMGosh, fixed this crock pot meal yesterday and it was out of this world.

I substituted and used Strawberry Jam.
Also, I covered my ribs and baked in oven for 45 min on 325 before adding to crock pot. Cut my crock pot cooking time to 4 hours.

Thanks so much for sharing this one!

http://www.iceboxdiner.com/images/products/367.jpgIf you haven't tried this Beef Stew you are missing a very good, easy and cheap supper. Everything is included. Thaw sauce mix and combine with about 2 cups of water. Put the bag of potatoes in fridge until needed. Put sauce and contents of bag in crock pot. Cook for 8 hrs slow or 4 on high. Add potatoes last 35 minutes. I forgot my potatoes last time so I zapped in the microwave a few minutes first. I usually have rice and biscuits and that is it, unless specified by DH.
Leftover are left in crock pot with water added, cooked on warm or very low until following day. Then I open several cans of veggies and have soup. Last time I used succotash, tomatoes and okra, corn, and a couple more potatoes. I have added any beans or peas from freezer. If I have a 1/2 cup of beans leftover at supper I throw them in a zip lock bag and toss in freezer for soup. Only requirement here is okra and corn for DH. I have thrown a handfull of chopped cabbage in. Sometimes I cook macaroni to add as wanted. I love mac in mine. And rice. Anything that doesn't move gets tossed into the pot. Then cornbread is a must!
