Easy Crock Pot Recipes

Easy Crock Pot Recipes
By Diane Watkins





Crock pot meals are convenient on those busy work nights. Its nice to come home to the tantalizing smell of a well cooked meal waiting for you. The challenge is to find those recipes that are not only quick and convenient, but tasty as well. Here I offer two recipes that are tasty and easy - Beef Burgundy and Country-Style Ribs with Sauerkraut.

This is my version of Crock Pot Beef Burgundy. It is quick to prepare in the morning, especially if you opt to skip the browning process (I usually do.) You can also cook this, well covered, for 2 hours in a 350 degree oven. The cooking time on the Beef Burgundy is 3-6 hours, but the longer you cook it on low, the more tender it will be. I don't usually worry about the time, I put it in before I leave for work and eat whenever the wonderful smells are too much for my willpower.

Beef Burgundy in the Crock Pot

2 pounds Beef Cubes (round steak, sirloin tip, or roast)

1 can golden mushroom soup

1 package dry onion soup mix

1 cup burgundy wine


OPTIONAL, but does add good flavor: Brown the beef cubes in a little oil.
Combine all ingredients in crock pot. Stir to combine. Cover with lid.
Cook in crock pot for 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low.
Serve over hot noodles or rice.
Country-Style Ribs and Sauerkraut 1 bag sauerkraut ; rinsed, drained 1 onion

1 red-skinned apple

2 - 3 pounds country style pork ribs

1 cup beer

1. Put sauerkraut in bottom of crock pot. Add diced onion and chopped apple. Do not need to peel apple. Stir and even the top.

2. Layer country ribs on top of kraut mixture. Pour beer over all. Cover and cook on LOW from 8 to 10 hours.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.

3 Easy Baked Bean Recipes
By Kara Kelso





The following baked bean recipes may all have very different ingredients, but they have one main thing in common - they are all cooked in the crockpot! These recipes can either be used as side dishes, or part of a main meal. Be sure to see more crockpot recipes at our website below.

1/2 teaspoon salt
In slow-cooker, combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on LOW 13 to 14 hours, stirring occasionally, if possible.

CROCKPOT BAKED BEANS II
1 lb ground beef
3/4 lb bacon fried and diced
1 onion lg chopped and browned
1 lge can pork and beans
1 16 oz kidney beans canned
1 16 oz buttered lima beans canned
1 cup catsup

2 cans red kidney beans

3/4 cup maple syrup

Rinse and drain beans and set aside. On bottom of crockpot place diced onions, then dump on beans (don't mix just dump 'em all on). Then drizzle on all other ingredients.

Home Made Moonshine (recipe)



How To Make Your Own Home Brew


This report is presented as information only. The author is not
responsible if this recipe is so pleasing that you drink the
brew excessively. The necessary ingredients are usually
available from most markets, and the bottle caper and caps may
be found at most hardware stores. You will also need a crock,
about 10 gallons and a hydrometer of the type designed for
brewing. The purpose of the hydrometer is to determine when the
sugar content of the mix is less than 1%. It will float on top of
the mix for about 3 or 4 days, and when it sinks you are ready to
bottle the brew. You will need a collection of empty bottles - the
quart size is best. Be sure they are SUPER clean. Ingredients:
Malt-2 cups, Sugar-5 cups, Yeast-1 tbsp,Water-3 gallons. for a
darker color add more malt. for stronger flavor add more sugar and
a small amount of brewer,s hops. The BEST flavor, at least to the
author is to use 3 cups of superfine sugar and 3 cups of brown sugar.
This gives about 18% by volume - 36 proof. Heat about 2 quarts of
water and dissolve the malt syrup. Add the sugar to the mix slowly
and stir until dissolved. Let the mix boil for several minutes
then pour into crock and add the balance of water. If you use hops
wrap them in a cheese cloth and hang it in the mix. Wait about
three hours and skim off foam. Place the hydrometer in the mix and
from this point on keep your eye on it. It will sink in about three
days or so and you are ready to bottle. The best way to bottle is
a small siphon hose. Try NOT to disturb the mix. slowly place the
hose about one inch from the bottom and start the siphon action. As
each bottle is filled about one inch from the top, pinch the hose to
stop the flow and then release and fill the next bottles and let
them age - at least 10 days and 30 days is better. The very best
flavor comes after about 3 months. If you are smart - start another
batch immediately as you will want to start drinking the first one
almost immediately. And remember - Dont Blame Me If You Drink
Too Much!
