Crock It! Baked Beans
I have a bean pot. Most people my age don’t have one of those, but I do. I grew up with my mother making baked beans in the oven every Labor day for a big multi-family barbecue. So, naturally I was intrigued: Could a slow cooker produce the same results as my oven and a [...]
Crock It! Pepper Pork Chops
I bought pork chops with the intention of broiling them like I always do. However, as life has it, there was a busy day coming up and if I didn’t use my Crock Pot, dinner was going to be macaroni and cheese or whatever else I could pull together in a pinch. The last time [...]
Crock It! Tara’s Chicken
A friend gave me this recipe with the background that is it a favorite in her house for her whole family. I liked those two words–favorite and family. Cooking something my kids will also like is a plus and makes my life easier. I like this recipe for several reasons: It was easy to make [...]
Crock It! Potato Cheddar Chive Soup
This will probably be one of my last Crock It! soup recipes for the season. As the weather gets warmer I find that while I don’t mind using my slow cooker for main meals, and don’t mind a hot meal in the summer, I am not much of a hot soup person. I’m not much [...]
Crock It! Chicken Provencal
I needed an easy chicken dinner for one of those days where I knew that the only opportunity I was going to have to make dinner was at 10 a.m. I went to a reliable source: The Best Slow and Easy Recipes from America’s Test Kitchen. Chicken Provencal looked easy enough, didn’t require pre-cooking my [...]
Crock It! Chocolate Caramel Pie
After my recent debut with desserts in a slow cooker, I got excited and learned a lesson at the same time. I didn’t think it was true but guess what? Size does matter! I started with a basic recipe that gives instructions for using a 3- to 4-quart slow cooker to turn condensed milk into [...]
Crock It! Dublin Coddle
When I first made this recipe I think my favorite part of it was that it was different. I wasn’t making “boiled meat.” It was a welcome change to our (at the time) usual repertoire of Crock Pot cooking and a recipe that I have often gone back to. My husband loves it and maybe [...]
Crock It! Potato And Double Corn Chowder
Corn and soup. Two of my favorite things, and not necessarily in that order. So when I came across the Slow Cooker Potato and Double-Corn Chowder recipe on the Betty Crocker Web site, it was a no-brainer. I was hooked and immediately added the ingredients to my on-line shopping list. Oh, and the 15 minute [...]
Crock It! Barbecued Baby Back Ribs
During the most recent Verona Family Night we debated: Take the kids out for dinner, or have dinner at home and just go out for dessert. Guess which won? To really get into the spirit of family fun night, I avoided the stress of making dinner at dinner time and went for my Crock Pot. [...]
Crock It! Chocolate Pudding Cake
Desserts scare me. Well, that’s actually not entirely true. I love dessert. Anything chocolate, cream cheese based, or involving fruit with a crumb topping makes me happy. It’s dessert in a slow cooker that scares me. Uncharted territory. So what better challenge to give myself than to try a dessert on a Thursday afternoon. I [...]
