We just had roast...don't know the name of it, but it is the one that is tied in string. I cooked it all day while I was at work and when I got home I had perfect shredded beef, which I wrapped in a tortilla. It was so tender it fell apart as soon as I put the knife to it. I love it!

Hi A.,

I love my crock pot! Here are a few recipes that my husband & I really enjoy.

Lemon Garlic Chicken
2 lbs chicken breasts boneless and skinless
1 1/2 t oregano leaves crushed
1/2 t seasoned salt
1/4 t pepper freshly ground
2 T butter
1/4 C water
4 T fresh lemon juice
4 cloves garlic minced
2 t chicken bouillon
2 t fresh chopped parsley

Wash chicken and dry on paper towels. Combine oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl and season chicken with this mixture.
Heat butter in saute pan, and brown chicken on both sides. Transfer chicken to the crockpot.
Add the water, lemon juice, bouillon, garlic and parsley to the saute pan. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring mixture to a boil and pour over the chicken.
Cover and cook on High for 2 1/2 - 3 hours or on Low for 5 - 6 hours. Add parsley and baste chicken. Cover and cook another 15 - 30 minutes.
Serve with wild rice pilaf.

Pineapple Pork
5 pound pork roast, browned on all sides
1 onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
2 carrots, sliced
1/4 C brown sugar, not packed
1 pineapple, cut into chunks
1 T tomato paste
1 T soy sauce
salt and pepper, to taste
1 T fresh ginger or a pinch of ground ginger

Add the pork roast to the slow cooker after browning it. In the same pan you browned the roast in, add the remaining ingredients. Stir together to blend and add to the crock pot.
Cook on low for 8 hours.
Serve with rice.

Chinese Pepper Steak
1 1/2 lbs. boneless beef round steak
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 T hoisin sauce
1 t sugar
1 tomato, chopped
2 red or green bell peppers, cut into strips
3 T cornstarch
3 T water
1 C fresh bean sprouts
4 green onions, finely chopped

Trim fat from steak; slice into thin strips. Combine steak, garlic, salt, pepper, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sugar in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low about 4 hours. Turn control to High. Add tomato and bell peppers. Dissolve cornstarch in water in small bowl; stir into steak mixture. Cover and cook on High 15 to 20 minutes or until thickened. Stir in bean sprouts. Sprinkle with onions.
Serve with rice.

White Chocolate-Cherry Bread Pudding
1/3 C dried cherries
3 T brandy
3 oz high-quality white chocolate
2 T butter
6 C stale French bread cubes
4 eggs
1/3 C sugar
1 C half-and-half
1 t vanilla extract

Soak cherries in brandy for at least one hour, until plumped. Coarsely chop the chocolate bar. Meanwhile, bring all remaining ingredients to room temperature.
Generously butter the crockery insert of a 3 1/2 quart slow cooker. Cover the bottom with half of the bread cubes; then scatter with half of the drained cherries and chopped chocolate. Layer on the remaining bread cubes and top with the rest of the cherries and chocolate.
Whisk the eggs and sugar until smooth; then whisk in the half-and-half and vanilla until well-blended. Carefully pour over the bread mixture, gently pressing down on bread to moisten all cubes. Cook on high for 1 3/4 hours, without lifting lid, until set and puffed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
