Can anyone provide me with or point me to a simple potato soup recipe that doesn’t involve crock pots or pressure cookers, can just be made on the stove top? I’m looking for a plain recipe that does not involve bacon and croutons and herbs and blah blah blah. Something the gourmet folk would probably frown on Thanks.

How long should I cook Salad Shrimp for? It says for 15 mintues on high heat for regular shrimp in this crock pot recipe I have. But, I’m using salad shrimp instead. I know it wont take as long because of the shrimp being smaller. But, does anyone know?
How long should I cook Salad Shrimp for? it doesn’t say if they are precooked or not but they are pink already so I’m guessing they may be? it says in my crock pot recipe to cook the regular shrimp for 15 minutes on high heat. but I’m not sure about the other

It’s embarrassing to say because I’m not a young woman, but I’ve never cooked with a crock pot before. I’m using one my hubby had so I don’t have the manual anymore. I’m doing pot roast, so I browned it like the recipe said, put in the gravy ingredients and some veggies, and then I turned it to “Low” and covered it with the plastic lid. I’ll be at work so it will be cooking for about 8 hours or so. Did I do that right? I feel so silly for being nervous, but I’m domestically challenged and I’ve had a few stupid kitchen accidents…don’t want to light the house on fire! ha ha
The roast is about 2.7 lbs.

I got a slow cooker for new year form my mother-in-law and omg how did i live without it… i have posted some recipes below do youhave any others as i dont want to keep making the same thing…..

Soup

Use orange lentils or split yellow peas. I pour over boiling water and let them soak overnight. Rinse and put in slow cooker. Then I add an onion that has been chopped and slightly cooked (in the microwave, makes life easier). Add a few chopped or sliced carrots to the slow cooker, add garlic if you like, if you have any stock, say from the joint of bacon I mentioned before, heat it up in the microwave and add to the slow cooker. If you have no stock make some with any stock cube you have handy. Make sure the lentils etc are covered by the stock. Add any dried herbs you like. Give it a stir. Put cooker on after about 7 hours., just check to see if the lentils are cooked, if not just leave a little longer until cooked. You can use up any leftover celery or you can add bacon chopped up and put in with the other ingredients if you wish. I can’t give exact amounts because I just add what I have in. If you have a large slow cooker it should work out approx as 1 litre of stock to 150g lentils, I think. I always just make sure that all the ingredients are covered, and do a couple of checks whilst it is cooking to make sure in case it needs any more liquid. If you want a creamy soup, then liquidise with a blender, the hand one is best, after cooling it. You could garnish with some coriander leaves and put a swirl of cream or fromage frais on top when serving.

Oriental Honeyed Pork

This is a really tasty slow cooker recipe.(amounts are for 4.5 litre cooker) cube 1kg pork fillet &toss in seasoned flour/corn flour(or iv done it with up to 6 -8 pork chops),heat oil in a pan, fry 1 large chopped onion & 2 crushed garlic cloves, add pork & lightly brown, add 2 chopped green peppers,8 chopped mushrooms,6 chopped tomatoes(or a can)and a big tin pineapple pieces.(keep the juice).In a jug measure 1 litre chicken stock,5 tablespoons honey,3 tablespoons soy sauce, mix & pour over pork in pan, blend 5 tablespoons corn flour with the pineapple juice and add this to pork pan, bring to boil then transfer all this to your slow cooker and cook on medium for 5-8 hours. This sounds a bit faffy but its not ,sometimes I prepare everything the night before ready to just bring to boil in the morning, switch on and go to work. Serve with rice or new potatoes and green veg.

Beef in Red Wine.

(4.5litre cooker) Fry 2 large chopped onions till soft in tbspn oil, add 1.5kg cubed stewing beef or steak, and brown .add 2 crushed garlic cloves(not essential if you don’t like garlic)10 chopped tomatoes(I always use a couple of large cans)800g mushrooms(nice to use whole small ones)1 litre red wine, salt and pepper, bay leaf if you have one and bring to a simmer ,transfer to slow cooker pot and cook 4-8 hours on medium. Remove bay leaf and add some chopped parsley to serve-lovely with mashed potatoes. if you don’t want to use all that wine just substitute half with beef stock

Rice Pudding

4.5ltr slow cooker. butter the inside of the crock-pot first, put 150g pudding rice,40g butter(diced or grated if really chilled)150g sugar and 1 and a half litres milk, pinch nutmeg, mix well, cook for 3 - 4 hour on medium,

Beef curry -

Fry 2 medium, sliced apples with 2 large chopped onions in a pan until soft. Coat 700g beef in 3 tblsp. flour and fry until lightly browned. Stir in 400ml of stock and bring to a simmer. Add 3 tsp curry powder,75g sultanas(optional) 3 tblsp mango chutney 200g tinned chopped tomatoes and 2 tblsp. lemon juice. Transfer to the slow cooker and cook for approx 4-7 hours. At the end of the cooking time it may be necessary to thicken the curry with a little corn flour mixed with a little water. After putting the corn flour mix in the pot put the lid on and leave a little longer for the corn flour to cook out or transfer to a pan to put on the hob or a dish to use in the microwave, to thicken

Pepper Beef

here goes, shin beef or you could use sausages, onions mushrooms peppers cook for about 6 hours I suppose, then 40 minutes before serving, I’m going to add a creamy pepper sauce mix( Schwartz) let that thicken up, then serve it with mash and veg,

Spaghetti Bolognese

I used 2lbs mince (going to freeze some after for quick dinners), 1 dollop lea and perins garlic sauce (chefs helper), 1 dollop lea and perrins Worchester sauce ,sprinkle of herbs de province, two drops Tabasco, 2 beef oxo stock cubes, 1 large onion.

I brown the mince before hand. I start with mince and crumble the two beef oxo cubes over the mince, stir then add the dollop of garlic, dollop of Worchester sauce, herbs de province and Tabasco. cook until mince is all browned.

add chopped large onion to the slow cooker, then mince, then I add one jar Dolmio(extra sp

I made this bbq chicken in the crockpot last week and it was incredible. So I have this pot luck dinner I am going to tomorrow and I was thinking about using the same bbq recipe but with meatballs. I want them to be saucy enough though, so does anyone make really good meatballs in the crock pot this way?

Does anyone have the recipe for BBQ sauce that you make with grape jelly? I want to make it and put it over the bag of frozen cooked meat balls you buy at the store. I want to make them in the crock pot and take them to a Christmas party.

I have a recipe for vegetarian stuffed peppers that I love, but I want to switch it up a little. Instead of rice, can I use quiona or bulgur the same way. I make them in the crock pot, so if I already use dry rice, do I have to soak or rinse the bulgur or quiona prior to use, or just toss it in the same way? Thanks!
FYI, I made them today with bulgur instead of rice and they were wonderful! I can’t wait to try more substitutions. Thanks for all of your help!

Looking for a good cookbook with lots of crock pot recipes. I’m not into fish/seafood and though I will try some new recipes, I prefer standard American/Italian/a little Mexican now and again food.
I’d prefer a cookbook, not a website if anyone knows of one.

for French dip. Is there any other way to cook this other than a pressure cooker since I don’t have one? Is just a crock pot or a big pasta or soup pot fine to leave it in and cook for awhile? The recipe is talking about the pressure regulator should maintain a rocking motion the whole time and I don’t know if that has something to do with the cooking process?

I was reading another question and someone responded with “crock pot oatmeal”…and this sounds really good!

Does anyone have a recipe that works because it seems alot of people have problems with it….

Thank you so much!!!
Apparently there are many recipes out there in which you can use rolled oats and a variety of fruits/nuts cooked at a very low heat overnight so you can wake up to some fruity nutty oatmeal goodness. Why does that sound gross? My question is: “Does anyone have any good recipes for crock pot oatmeal?”

I’ve lost my favorite Chicken and Rice Casserole recipe and was wondering if anyone else had the (or a similar) recipe? I remember it had the chicken and rice (of course), cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, celery, onion, a little lemon juice and buttered bread crumbs as a topping. (I think it had a little mayonnaise, too.) Any help locating this recipe or helping to construct a similar recipe would be greatly appreciated. (P.S. I’d like to figure out how to make it in a crock pot.)

Do you think I should add beef broth also and how much?!?

Thanks in Advance!!!

What are the best foods for slow cooker / crock pot? I’ve owned one for a while but never go a hang of the way things taste in it, so before throwing/giving away I want to give it one more chance.

In your opinion for what food (& recipe) was the slow cooker invented for?.

I’ve tried some roasts, but there is always a particular flavor in it that I don’t like. I can’t quite describe it. I’ve also tried some chicken recipes with mushroom cream, not a big hitter either.

Yes, I am not a great cook… so, if I wanted to give it one last try what is the #1 recipe I should try?

I have a chuck roast in the crock pot right now with carrots and potatoes and onion, every recipe says to put the vegetables down first and put the roast on top, but now I don’t have enough liquid to cover the roast. Does it need to be covered or will it cook okay like that? The liquid comes up to the bottom of the roast, covering the veggies. I’ve never cooked one like that before, always had the veggies on top, but im assuming they go underneath to catch the dripings from the roast. Please let me know your go on it.
