| Looking for some simple crockpot recipes???? |
| Me too |

Chicken breasts and a jar of salsa. Cook on low for 8 - 9 hours.
When done, take chicken out and shred it up. Serve as soft tacos with sour cream, cheese, whatever you like. Salad on the side. You can do something similar with a beeof brisket and a couple of jars of barbecue sauce. Shred and serve on toasted buns. |

Take a chunk of beef (a round roast or something like that -- whatever's on sale at the grocery store).
Get a bottle of peperoncini, drain and rinse, and dump them on top of the beef. add enough water to cover the bottom of the crock. Cook all day long (I usually start it on high until the water starts to simmer & then turn it down to low-med). Serve over rice. |

BBQ --- Pork should/butt (now on special at Harris-Teeter) and the packet of McCormick pulled pork seasoning and the ingredients on the packet which are vinegar, brown sugar, and ketchup. Family hit year in and year out.
The McCormick packet for pot roast is also popular in my family. |

Sprinkle salt on a chicken & put some butter on it. Maybe some lemons inside. Some rosemary or something. Cook it.
Alternately, put BBQ sauce on it. Or put BBQ sauce on a beef or pork roast. Bake & shred with a fork. |
| What's a bottle of peperochini? |
| Peperonchini are Italian-style pickled peppers. In America, they are usually sweet peppers. In Italy, they are typically spicy peppers. |
| Cut a rack of pork ribs in thirds. Sprinkle with seasoning (make your own or use some pre-bought grill rub). Drizzle with yellow or brown mustard. Stand ribs around side of crockpot and drizzle with about half a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. Cook on low for 6 hours. If you want, pull ribs out and put on a foil-lined cookie sheet, brush with a bit more BBQ sauce, and put them under the broiler for a couple minutes to crisp up/carmelize. But you can also skip the oven entirely and eat them straight from the crockpot. |
Could you fill the crockpot completely with ribs in the middle, or do you mean that each rib needs to be touching the side for extra heat? New to slow cookers and want to be sure. Thanks! |
| 8:25 here -- I think you could fill the middle. I always make this with a single rack, so there's space in the middle, but I don't see why you couldn't put more ribs in there if they fit. You might be on the upper end of the cooking time, or even need a bit more than 6 hours -- but you'll know when they're done because they'll be falling off the bone. |
| For ribs I've typically browned on the grill and then thrown in the crock pot with sauce. Haven't stood them up. |

How many chicken breasts do you put in? Also I assume you defrost first? Thanks! |
