Food Slow Cooking

About six months ago, I discovered this:



Crockery Gourmet comes in a variety of flavors for different types of meats. My favorite is the beef seasoning mix, which I use to make stroganoff. SUPER easy, inexpensive, and yummy.

1 - 2 lbs. beef, cubed (I use petite sirloin)
2 cups water mixed with seasoning packet

Put meat and water/seasoning mix in crock pot. Cook for four hours on high or eight hours on low. Mix in 1 cup frozen peas, 1 small can of mushroom stems/pieces, and 1 cup sour cream, and cook for another 10 - 15 minutes.

Pour over cooked egg noodles or rice.

BAM.

 

I might have to try that sauce, @snowy. I do like his fajita sauce which I use as a marinade for skirt or hanger steak. I only use my crockpot for braised pot roast and I need to use it for other stuff as well.

 

We made pulled pork in the slow cooker Sunday night. Mmmmm

 

My mother always makes her peppered beef. It is a tri tip covered in sliced up pepperoncini peppers. I'll have to get in touch with her for the recipe. Because you need to trim and cook the tri tip a certain way before putting it in the slow cooker.

 

Crock Pot Parmesan Honey Pork Roast

2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil

Cut roast in half. Transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the cheese, honey, soy sauce, basil, garlic, oil and salt; pour over pork. Cover and cook on low for 5-1/2 to 6 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
Remove meat to a serving platter; keep warm. Skim fat from cooking juices; transfer to a small saucepan. Bring liquid to a boil. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Slice roast; serve with gravy.
Yield: 10 servings.

I was shamed back in to being a participant.

 

Great to see you, whatever the reason.
