slow cooker/crockpot

Ladies,

Do any of you have any recipes that don't require you to brown the meat or pre-cook anything? Im looking for recipes where I can get everything together the night before and all DH has to do in the morning is literally drop it in the slow cooker and turn it on. Im looking for like super easy here.

Thanks!

The BBQ Rib recipe I posted you just throw everything in and let it cook for 8 hours....

3-4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 lemon, juiced
1 cup brown sugar, packed

I would def try this! Now what would happen if it cooked for say 8-9 hours on low. Would that be too long?

the only thing that I brown ahead is the ground beef for chilli- otherwise I just throw it all in

my favorite is coca cola pot roast- take a london broil, rub it with onion soup mix, and pour a can of coke over it- sooo good!

DH dies over this pot roast -TO DIE FOR...got the recipe from here actually

You'll Need:

3 to 5 1/2 pound pot roast (mine was just under 4)
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup (i used one reg. and one cream of mushroom w/roasted garlic)
1 envelope lipton dry onion soup mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 to full bag baby carrots(depending on how much u want)
can of sweet peas(drained)

DIRECTIONS
Place roast in crockpot...In bowl mix cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix and water. pour over roast. toss in carrots

Cook on Low setting for 7.5hours (longer if u go over 4lbs). last hour add drained sweet peas.

this was SO delish! it sounds like it would be creamy, but the liquid actually turns into a thick brown gravy.. i made it with mashed potatos on the side. dh was in love. it came out so tender that when i went to take it out of the c/p it completely fell apart

9 would probably be too long unless u get a HUGE brisket..honestly i usually cook mine for about 7..i dont know why i wrote 6 lol...but anyways - most slowcookers automatically turn to 'warm' setting once it's done - so check if ur c/p has that..

I am bumping this post to tell you DH is home making this right now. Thanks for the recipe!

Get a pot roast, put it in the pot, dump half a bottle of italian dressing into the pot and cook.

I don't pre-cook anything prior to the crockpot.

I also love making stew. I get beef cubes, then cut up carrots, potatoes, onions, frozen peas, 1/4 cup ketchup, 16 oz of beef broth, salt & pepper, and let it cook.

ooohhh this sounds super easy!

My mom just gave me my grandmothers crock pot. In the original box and all from the 50's. I hope it still works lol

I am going to definitely try some of these recipes now. I will have to do it on a day when we are home though, b/c it being so old I don't know how the wiring is.

I can finally do some slow cooker recipes woo hoo
