I have a new recipe cooking in right now for unstuffed cabbage but it used tomato sauce. A good one for beef roast is cream of mushroom soup and envelope of dry onion soup mix.doublemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18411365585322170504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-38614604714614663822014-09-23T11:34:38.045-04:002014-09-23T11:34:38.045-04:00I use the crockpot mainly for pot roast - so much ...I use the crockpot mainly for pot roast - so much that I've forgotten how to make it in the oven! But, I have also made pulled pork which is delicious. Basically, you just put some spices of your choice on a pork butt roast and maybe some cider or apple juice or beer for the liquid. Then you let it cook for 8 hours. Once it's done, you shred it. If your husband wants to make barbecue pork, he can add barbecue sauce to the pork. But my favorite way to eat it is a pork taco with corn tortillas, guacamole (the kind we buy doesn't have tomatoes), cheese, black olives, etc. Delicious! areyoukiddingmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107214079237461141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-29891594324336246862014-09-23T06:24:55.282-04:002014-09-23T06:24:55.282-04:00Oh!

I have a number of non-tomato-based recipes if you'd like them. Perfect winter comfort food.

I also do chili, beef stroganoff, chicken curry, spaghetti sauce, etc. Have fun exploring. As you try more stuff, you'll find what works and what doesn't. Sometimes the hardest part of slow cooking is finding the liquid ratio - trial and error sometimes, I'm afraid. Good luck!<br />Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04188684792415196300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-69516080934633254232014-09-22T13:02:33.674-04:002014-09-22T13:02:33.674-04:00I love the idea of using a crockpot, but rarely us...I love the idea of using a crockpot, but rarely use it because I am completely clueless about it.

I don't really use recipes-my method of cooking is typically to throw some things in and add some seasonings and see how it turns out. :) I use it to make soup a lot, though if you make your own stock it can be a three day process to make good soup. It's also good for making shredded chicken which can be used for any number of different things as well as any kind of beans.

Considering he's been right about the appliances (dishwasher leaked that could have been much worse if we weren't home), I've not pushed it.<br /><br />That said: meatballs. Swedish or German to get away from tomatoes (Hawaiian are also good). We've also made beef stroganoff, white chicken chili, baked beans and roasted sage lemon chicken. Pinterest has given me some ideas, but there are also some good crockpot cookbooks at the library.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.com
