Venison Barley Stew in the New Slow Cooker

January 28, 2021January 29, 2021 Barbara

I’m mashing up my recipes for Earthy Venison Stew and Beef Barley Stew, neither of which were cooked in a slow cooker. In my multi-cooker/slow cooker I’ll be able to brown the meat and onion in the cooker before adding … Continue reading Venison Barley Stew in the New Slow Cooker

Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken

May 17, 2017 Barbara

My favorite way to use the slow cooker is on the high setting, where I can count on meats not being dried out and flavorless. That’s what I find happens when you cook meat for 8-10 hours while you are … Continue reading Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken

Slow Cooker Pastrami, Sort Of

December 13, 2016 Barbara

How to make corned beef reminiscent of pastrami—and really tasty—in a slow cooker This probably doesn’t compare to the pastrami at your favorite deli, but I was looking for something different to do with a corned beef brisket flat. The … Continue reading Slow Cooker Pastrami, Sort Of

December 4, 2016August 21, 2018 Barbara

You can enjoy baby back ribs without the barbecue grill and all the sugary barbecue sauces any time of year. After all, it’s just pork 🐖. Think of some of your favorite ways to cook a pork roast or chops, … Continue reading Baby Back Ribs—You Don’t Need A Barbecue

Pheasant Breasts—Butter Chicken Style

October 30, 2016 Barbara

Of all the dishes I’ve done with pheasant, I don’t think I’ve tried any slow cooker recipes, so here’s my first (and I finally added a Slow Cooker category). It cooks rather quickly, even in a slow cooker, at just … Continue reading Pheasant Breasts—Butter Chicken Style

Hot Dog Sauce Redux

October 3, 2016June 26, 2018 Barbara

Two years ago, I posted a recipe probably given to me by my sister-in-law for hot dog sauce, supposedly similar to that at a Greenville, PA bar and grill. We’ve had the original many times, including recently, and thought this … Continue reading Hot Dog Sauce Redux

White Bean Chicken Chili—Slow Cooker

September 9, 2016October 29, 2016 Barbara

I’m reluctant to call this dish chili, even though I know lots of people do just because it’s a combination of beans and meat. I think it’s a stretch, though, and like so many other dishes, I wish some inventive … Continue reading White Bean Chicken Chili—Slow Cooker

There are so many things you can do with a batch of rice pudding, sort of like topping a sundae.

New Gadget, Same Pulled Pork

April 3, 2016May 15, 2017 Barbara

I had a nice Cuisinart slow cooker for a long time, but the removable crock got a hairline crack, and eventually it leaked badly into the cooker. I don’t use a slow cooker very often, especially now that I’m retired … Continue reading New Gadget, Same Pulled Pork

Uncle Earl’s Lentil Soup with a Daisy Ham

October 8, 2014October 29, 2016 Barbara

What’s a daisy ham? That’s what I’ve been wondering since I picked it up at the grocery last week. I was looking for maybe a picnic ham or even smoked ham hocks to cook with lentils and I saw this … Continue reading Uncle Earl’s Lentil Soup with a Daisy Ham

Converting a Recipe: “Decadent Pork Ragu” in a Slow Cooker

October 4, 2014October 29, 2016 Barbara

I couldn’t get that recipe that I re-blogged earlier this week out of my head, but I wanted to do something a little different with it, so I converted it to a slow-cooker recipe. The original recipe is from The … Continue reading Converting a Recipe: “Decadent Pork Ragu” in a Slow Cooker

Link: Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

September 24, 2014October 29, 2016 Barbara

My first choice for the slow-roasted flavor of a pork shoulder or boneless butt is roasting it in the oven, and I told you about that in July, but this is my second favorite way to cook it, not least … Continue reading Link: Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
