Crockpot Carnitas

When I go to a new Mexican restaurant, the first thing I look for and order from the menu is carnitas ... a blissfully tender dish usually featuring bits of pork that have been simmered for hours in a simple mixture of water or broth and ground cumin and then roasted, baked or broiled to bring back a bit of texture before serving. The dish is very simplistic, but an example of the finest in Mexican cuisine.

I make this chicken soup on the stove top in about an hour, but see no reason why it wouldn't work in the crockpot. Only thing is, you need to saute the onions/garlic first. You also may want to divide the recipe in half. The chicken I use for this usually comes from a deli chicken that I ran by and bought the night before -- we don't eat a lot of meat, and I only have one teenager at home! This makes enough to feed my family of 10 when we are all here, with leftovers for the next meal. I serve it with a salad and some kind of bread, either cornbread or crackers -- french bread would be nice.

Saute' one large onion and two cloves minced garlic until tender in 2 tablespoons olive oil (optionally, also saute 1 stalk of celery, finely chopped). To this, add one VERY LARGE can chicken broth, (and if using the two cans of veggies instead of just one can 2 cups water,) 1 or 2 cans petite diced tomatoes, 2 cups diced precooked chicken, one or two cans of mixed vegetables (like Veg -all -- drained) and one bag of Mahatma yellow rice, the medium size bag, or substitute a regular sized box of Zataran's yellow rice.

If your chicken isn't already seasoned, then all a little Emeril's or a little of whatever your favorite seasoning mix is.

Asa Buco.

Sorry, that should be osso buco. Do it with veal shanks if you can get them.

Barbeque sauce with a roast or hamburger works

BBQ sauce works well with country-style ribs, too.

It takes slightly more work, but chicken & dumplings is pretty easy. Cook one cut-up chicken, barely covered by water, all day (you'll probably want to add various chicken-related herbs, spices and/or seasonings). When you get home, fish out the chicken pieces, and strip the meat away from the bones, skin, and fat. Return the meat to the pot, add a couple of cups of frozen veggies (peas and carrots are classic), and spoon one recipe's worth of biscut mix (like Bisquick) on top. Let cook on high for another 45 to 60 minutes.

Take one entire chicken. Remove giblets and whatnot from inside. Sprinkle inside with salt. Spray crockpot with cooking spray. Place chicken in crockpot. Sprinkle chicken seasoning salt over top.

Come home, take chicken out. Make gravy on stovetop from a package or jar, adding some chicken fat. Make some mashed potatoes, or nuke a couple baked potatoes.

There's Sunday dinner.

Get some Italian sausage links (hot or sweet). Spray crock pot with cooking spray. Chop up some onion and green pepper. Add in with a big can (19 oz) of tomato sauce. Season more to taste, if desired. (Garlic, Italian seasoning, etc.)

5 hours on low or so until sausage isn't pink.

You could brown the sausage first if you're in a hurry, but if you aren't, don't bother.

I, too, have a family of two adult and two teenagers--both girls but this recipe is a favorite of all their male friends as well and it is very, very simple:

Brown 2 lbs of high-quality beef tips in a smidgen of oil. Stir together the contents of one can of Campbell's Golden Mushroom Soup and two cans of Campbell's French Onion Soup in the crockpot. Stir in the browned beef with its drippings. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve over egg noodles.

I have a larger crockpot and so I frequently make a double batch and stir the leftover beef mix and noodles together for storage in the fridge. The leftovers never go to waste and they microwave easily.

Steak or pork... Generous dosings of onions... A good barbecue sauce, with a cupr or so of water and a couple of tablespoons vinegar.

Cook until meat mashes easily with a fork, then serve sloppy-joe style.

Great thread!! Pork chops are great in the crock pot, leaves em nice & tender. I have a Pork Chops w/Jalepeno dressing receipe at home that is delicious. I'll try to remember to bring it in tomorrow.
