I'm cooking a roast in the crock sm

In Reply to: I had the taste for something different sm - mlstoo
that I took an envelope of dry onion soup mix, and two cans (hated to spare 'em) of Coke over the top. It has been in the crock all day for me to whiff, hmmmm.... Needless to say, I can't wait to see what it tastes like. I hope hubby and the kids like it! I do not usually use my crock, but I got this great crock pot recipe cookbook last week from the library, well, I think I'll renew the book.... There are actually recipes for cakes in there, too! Could you imagine a chocolate cake with pudding in the middle that you've cooked in your crock pot all day? The book is called Fix It and Forget It! I love to cook, but when there's lots of typing to do, the quick stuff comes in handy-dandy! lol That steak and "stuff" you guys are talking about sounds great!

Roast Beef and Sauce in Crock Pot
Any kind of roast, but works well with eye roast. You can pan oil quick fry it to seal in moisture, but I have cooked this without pan searing as well.
Stir together, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp ground garlic, 1/4 cup of oil, 4 tbsp vinegar, and about 1 tsp of ground ginger.
Pour over roast and cook in the crockpot. Depending on the size, I would do high for a while, and then down to low. About 8 hours or so. I've made this both in the crockpot and in the oven, so time varies. 
I'm cooking a round roast in onions and V8 juice.sm
It smells so good I want to eat it now! Yum.

I always use a crock pot for roasts.
A few weeks ago I cooked a pork roast in the crock pot, put a few whole potatoes in the microwave until they were almost done, then cubed them and added them to the pork roast in the crock pot along with a can of golden mushroom soup and tiny carrots. You could probably also add some peas or tiny onions but I didn't have those.
Or you could cook the roast it in the crock pot then shred it and add barbecue sauce.
Can you tell I'm no gourmet? Simple is my middle name.
What a crock of crap!
First of all, my child would not attend a school which forbids dancing, rock music, hand holding, etc. For him to be suspended if he takes his girlfriend to prom at another school is ridiculouos! What he does on his own time is none of the school's business. The school sounds like some kind of cult or something. I say they can go f*c* themselves.
I plan on putting them in a crock pot with
the roast and potatoes to cook all day. so maybe they will be okay. Thanks!
No, what a crock. The only thing I have read - sm
is tea tree oil and also coconut shampoos deter them, but whether that is really true is another matter as well. I just went thru *ell with the little critters in September. Still trying to get my kids hair back to normal, both have bad dandruff now from the lice shampoo and it has been 3+ months since we got rid of them.
I also think my Crock Pot cooks a little hotter
Still, I love it, and have since had some success with it.
yes, sorry, meant to put macaroni in the crock pot not the box :)

Bring something in a crock pot that you can plug in at the office & set on low.

I put mine in the crock pot and they just fall off the bone
Although that wouldn't be an option for you now since it takes all day.
No recipe, but just mix it 1/2 and 1/2 and put in covered dish or crock pot. Uncover to brown

Pig Roast
I just went to a pig roast for my brother-in-law's wedding reception. It was a lot of fun. They had gotten married by a Justice of the Peace and has the reception (pig roast) a few months later. It was very causal just like a huge family barbecue. Have a great time.
Roast
Can I ask what type of cut makes the best roast? I love pot roast but every time I make mine in the crockpot it comes out tough! I think I've tried just about every cut there is !
here's one from foodnetwork...5 hrs to roast
SLOW-ROASTED PORK SHOULDER
2 heaping tablespoons black peppercorns
25 cloves garlic, (about 2 heads) peeled
10 whole cloves
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 bone-in pork shoulder, (about 7 pounds)
Kosher salt, as needed
White distilled vinegar, as needed
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
In a food processor, combine the peppercorns, garlic, and cloves and puree. While the motor is running, drizzle in the oil until a paste is formed. Using a rubber spatula, scrap the garlic paste into a small bowl.
Place the pork butt on a work surface and season all over generously with salt. Rub all over with the garlic paste. Place in an oven-safe roasting bag and close with a twist tie. Place in a large roasting pan, and cook until tender, about 5 hours.
Pork Roast
I'm not sure of the side dishes yet.
Aw, DH put a pot roast in the oven
when I wasn't paying attention. He even put in parsnips - my favorite part.
Good hubby.
Prime rib roast
I'm thinking of doing a goose Christmas Eve - will be a first though. Usually do spiral hams, but I get one for the days while the kids are off instead and do the prime rib for Christmas Day and usually have shrimp cocktail as well.
YUMMMM!
pork roast
Are you browning/searing it before you do any cooking with it? That sometimes can make a difference - even if you're going to put it in the crockpot or cook it in the oven. Try searing it in a pan with a little bit of olive oil and then putting it in the oven or crockpot. This gives it another layer of flavor with the carmelization on the outside, but it also helps keep the juices in.
leftover roast beef
I've had roast beef sandwiches for three days. Can I make the roast beef into something that I can freeze and eat later?
Lithuanian pork roast
Son was on a camping trip this weekend and had Lithuanian pork roast. Anyone out there have a recipe? He loved it!
Roast beef hash is always a hit here.

I buy the Walmart roast, I think it's 2.98 a pound. sm
I believe it said round roast on the sticker-the hunks I buy are around 10.00 apiece with absolutely no fat. My husband loves them. I put it in the oven frozen and cooked it all afternoon on low. Threw two small cans of V8 juice, a whole onion, some garlic and pepper. I thickened the juice with flour a little Gravy Master to darken the juice so it wouldn't be red and put in my potatoes, turned the oven up to 350 and everything was done and piping hot for hubby at 4:30. I had 1 slice, he ate the rest. Now, is that fair? LOL.

I have an eye roast recipe that's easy
Eye Round Roast (average size)
Sauce:
1 tbl crushed garlic (or a few cloves if you use fresh)
1/4 c veg oil
1/4 c of soy sauce
2 tbl of vinegar
1/4 c of honey (i've also used brown sugar, but that burns easy)
1 tsp of ginger
Mix the sauce and pour it over the roast. I've also seared the roast before adding the sauce and then cook in oven around 350 or you can do this in a slow cooker.
The sauce is tasty and I think the vinegar tenderizes the meat. I'll slice it down when it's down and add the slices back to the sauce.
What kind of cut? Saying "pork roast" is like saying sm
"roast beef". How you cook a pork roast depends on whether it is a butt, a shoulder, a pork loin, a sirloin. All of them are to be cooked in a different manner.
Pork roast...details below if anyone is interested
I do mine with tomatoes, basil and a clove of frash garlic and just a tad of oliver oil. I wrap that in foil and put it on the grill. I make this with red potatoes (slice partway open and put some butter inside, wrap in foil and grill also). I usually steam some green beans to go along with it, but this is a throw it on and forget about is for 45 minutes. Not great for those thighs but tastes heavenly!
I use my leftover roast beef for tacos! nm
open faced roast beef sandwiches
Not so great for dieters, but heck, every now and then a little diet cheating is good. Toast up some bread, shred the roast over it, top with mashed potatoes (the real ones!), douse in brown gravy - instant comfort food.
I am lazy and not a good cook, but I buy those roast bags sm
in with the seasoning packets. It comes with seasoning and the bag for about $2 usually. I buy whatever cut is on sale, put it in the bag with the seasoning, straight to the hot oven and add veggies in a few hours. Always, always tender and falling apart no matter what cut. I have tried the crockpot too, but mine is never good and tender that way.
use frozen carrots in soups/stews/roast
I always use frozen carrots and celery and onions in my soups, stews, roasts, gravy, etc. You can either thaw them in the fridge (probably the upper part of yours) or in the microwave before throwing into the pot...otherwise start them at the beginnig of the recipe so they have a chance to get a head start over everything else and thaw that way. freezing veggies is a great way to 'use' them before they go bad. we don't eat a whole bundle of carrots or celery before the go bad so when i know they are getting close i chop them all up and freeze them. same with bananas for banana bread and the fixings for salsa. :)

My DH does all the cooking too! - sm
though we are not the most economical in the food buying, but he can do pretty amazing things with a chicken and is handy around the house besides. Great with electronics (works on electron microscopes for a living), any handyman-type chores, --granted can be a little lazy sometimes but so can I. We both do various home projects and have compliment each other in our abilities. I just hope the kids are as mechanically inclined as we are.

My husband is going bear hunting next weekend - how the heck do you cook bear??? (do you even cook bear or do you just make a rug or something)?? 
Cooking HELP!!
We went to a fundraiser dinner over the weekend that served dressing with cranberries in it. My husband couldn't stop talking about it the rest of the weekend. Does anyone have a recipe for this???
I want to know what she is cooking
too. Now I am so hungry. Shallots are yummy, especially. Shallots, mushrooms, butter and olive oil, some black pepper! I need a fork!
Me and my cooking
I have a candy thermometer that has both celsius and fahrenheit. I was making divinity and the recipie said to bring the syrup up to 260 dgrees fahhrenheit. I was looking at the wrong side of the thermometer, and went to 260 degrees Celsius!! Needless to say, the pan was ruined. I compounded the problem by setting the pan out in the hallway on the carpet because it was smoking, and it burned a hole right through the carpet!
No cooking!
Use whatever fruit you would like. Strawberries, cantelope, pineapple, grapes all work well. I have seen them done with gouda cheese as well. Just cut them up and stack them on skewers. Kids seem to like them, just have to watch if anyone gets the idea for a sword or poker. I would trim the pointy ends of the kabobs if kids will be around. Stand them upright in a tall vase or lay them flat on a platter. Can get or make a cream cheese or yogurt dip for them too which is nice. Also seen them with marshmellows for a sweet addition but I prefer them plain.

Homemade vegetable soup and cornbread
I did not ask him to do the cooking-
he knows that I don’t and he likes his health anyway. Works for us. I work and pay my share of bills so I think tit for TAT here.
Cooking chicken
I wound be reluctant to cook chicken on an indoor grill. Pounding the chicken will help, but you really need to be careful about cross contamination. Until you get a feel for it, I would cook it on the grill to mark it, but finish it in the oven. I also would marinate your chicken. I love Soy Vey teriyaki marinade. There are some excellent crock pot recipies that incorporate chicken breast. I got a panni sandwich maker and those are excellent and easy. Start off slowly, look at recipies and do what tastes good. Eating out is definately not a habit you want to get your kids into. Just really be careful with raw chicken. When I pound chicken I use a plastic grocery bag. I put the chicken in there and then pound it. It saves on cleanup of splattered chicken and is more sanitary. All Recipies is a great site, as well as BHG.com. Good luck and have fun.
Well I'm sure she'd do the cooking if she felt up to it.
We can't decide for others when they are going to throw a party, though she seems to be thrusting one on you!

Is there a cooking or recipes board available - just curious.
I don't know either but the southern cooking

I have a cooking question sm
I just made a big pot of soup and I had to add carrots. When I got my carrots out of the fridge they were a bit frozen. I keep them in the vegetable bin and every now and then some of the things in my fridge will freeze. Doesn't matter what the freezer or fridge settings are on. It is a side by side. Anyway, I went ahead and used the carrots and now that the soup is done the carrots are still tough. All the other veggies cooked just fine. I have made this soup before and this hasn't happened in the past. Should I just toss the rest of the carrots. I had planned on using them in with a pot roast tomorrow but don't want to waste my time peeling and slicing if they aren't going to be any good. Anyone suggestions on this one? Thanks!
Cooking question
Any cooks out there: How much rigatoni, red potatoes and green beans would you need to make for 250 people?
Thanks
