Slow Cooker

After last night's disaster, I am wondering if anyone has had particularly good luck with a slow cooker recipe? I know we have our newlywed cookbook here, but is there an online place you ladies go to look, or anything like that?

i saw ur other post and wanted to tell you that i made a whole roast chicken in the slow cooker a few weeks ago (it was a waldbaums already seasoned chicken). I put cut up red potatoes & baby carrots under the chicken and cooked it for 10 hours. It came out great.

give it another shot! i think the already seasoned chicken is what helped!

This is a blog where the woman made a meal in the slow cooker everyday for a year. She posted all of her recipes and what she liked and didn't like about them.

Dont give up=I love my slow cooker. did yours come w/ a book? those are good recipes. sometimes you may need to add water so it doesnt burn.
the easiest thing to make is stew.
stew meat
stew frozen vegs(in freezer section of grocery store-no need to cut or slice)
water & packet of McCormick slow cooker stew seasoning.
slow 8-10hrs
good luck

Re: Slow Cooker

I haven't given up. The first time was a disaster, but have used it 3 times since, and great recipes. Tonight's was the best, from the crockpot lady who used it for 365 days - basically an Asian pulled beef recipe (similar to pulled pork, but beef).
