Sorry, Gale, but I've never owned or used a crock pot, so I can't pass along any words of wisdom or recipes. Many, many years ago I taught myself to COOK in the microwave, so I haven't felt a need or desire to do the crock pot thing. But I'll be interested in recipes and hints that get posted because one of my sons uses a crock pot.

Pork shoulder with saurkraut, onions, and diced bacon works really well in a crockpot. I serve it with buttered parsley potatoes,

This is a very old old recipe that my grandma used to make. She always had a big pot of it (she cooked it on the stove) ready for us to eat when we arrived at her house. After being in the car for 14 hours it sure did taste great!! I adapted it for my crock pot years ago. Simple to make and a wonderful comfort food!!

Grandma’s Goulash 1 lb box of rigatoni1 lb ground beef1 regular size can of sliced carrots, drained (I just hold the lid cockeyed and dump the water off)1 bottle of Campbell’s tomato juiceDried onion flakes Cook the rigatoni for just 10 minutes. (The noodles will be very el dente) Drain and rinse. Brown the ground beef with dried onion flakes to taste. In the mean time, pour ½ the tomato juice into a crock pot. Add drained carrots. Using a paring knife, slice through the carrot coins until they are cut in half or quarters. (I just drag the knife along the bottom and through the coins) Add the ground beef and onion flake mixture to the crock. Add the drained rinsed rigatoni to the crock. Pour the remaining tomato juice over the rigs. Rinse the bottle with about a ½ cup of water and add to the crock. Stir well. Set on LOW, cover and cook for about 3-4 hours or until the noodles are soft and the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to over cook or it will be mushy. This does not freeze well at all but it does make excellent leftovers!!! Even cold!!

The nice thing about a crock pot is that you can do the prep and leave it while you go about your other projects. The aromas created are fantastic. I also cook my spaghetti sauce and then put it in the crock pot where it simmers and doesn't burn.

I have done some BBQ pork in the slow cooker. I will brown the pork, I usually do this with country ribs, they are boneless meaty strips. Add a bit of water and a bit of BBQ sauce. When the meat is tender, 4 hours or so later. I will skim off the grease, add a bit more BBQ sauce and cook with the top off to thicken up the sauce. Or I have taken them out and place them on a baking pan and put them in a hot oven to crisp up the meat a bit.

Almost anything you would braise you can do in the slow cooker. I find I do not use mine much I would rather use the oven and cook slow and low. I also use the pressure cooker more often than the slow cooker.

I use my crock pot for everything. Anything that is cooked in the oven can be cooked in the crock pot.
Roast meat is a lot juicer then in the oven it is not so dry. Enjoy it is really nice.

I bought a new slow-cooker a while ago since I was planning on replacing the old one my husband bought before we got married(makes it ancient lol). However, I kept the old one to make jellies and applesauce and haven't even opened the new one yet. One of these days I may get around to it. Almost any recipe you can make on the stove can be adapted to a slow-cooker I've heard but I've only made mashed potatoes once in the crockpot. Guess that's not much help, sorry.

Hi Renee,Thank you so much for a family recipe I will be trying this soon.I'm surprised at some of the recipe I'm finding for cooking and baking in the crockpot.Even cakes and bread.I want to start making some of these things and if they are good I'll share with everyone else.

Posted by Maxine M

You are right Maxine,Aldi's does not accept, checks, credit cards or coupons, They do accept debit cards and cash only. It helps when shopping there to know your prices and compare to other stores to know where the best value is.They do carry a few name brand items.These items are less expensive if you purchase them at a store that accepts manufacterers coupons.Especially when it is on sale and has a coupon,even better if they double or triple a coupon.Where I live the one main chain store here only doubles coupons and only coupons which are .99 cents or lower as long as the coupon doesn't say do not double.I have noticed some coupons now are stating do not double.Aldi's is great for fresh produce,some dairy products,this week a quart of Half and Half is only $1.49.Staple items such as flour.,sugar,eggs and milk are usually cheaper at Aldi's.They do offer a double back cash guarantee if you aren't satisfied with any of their name brand items.I have never taken an item back yet of the things I have tried.

Thank you Millie for the recipe and the site for crock pot cooking.I think this crock pot will be something that I will be using for years to come.My cast iron skillet I was giving is used almost everyday,nothing browns like a cast iron skillet.
