!±8± Slow Cooker or Crockpot Roast Recipes for Both Beef and Pork Roasts

Today's cooks are usually very busy people. They are often parents, work outside the home, chauffer children to various functions, attend sporting events, etc. Yet they want to feed their families good home-cooked meals. One of the easiest way for these busy cooks to prepare delicious family meals, is to use a slow cooker or crockpot. These beef and pork recipes are easy and family perfect. A few minutes of prep, set the cooker, and go on about your day. Walk into your house hours later to the smells of a delicious meal.

APRICOT PORK ROAST

1 (2 1/2 lb) boneless pork loin, trimmed
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil*
1 red onion, chopped
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 to 3 green onions, sliced
1 jar (12-oz) apricot preserves
1 tbsp whole-grain mustard

Sprinkle the roast with the salt and pepper.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat, and add the pork. Brown roast, turning frequently to brown all sides; this will take approximately 6 minutes. Transfer the roast to a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker or crockpot.

In the same skillet, cook the red onion and green onion on low heat for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with the ginger and remove from the heat. Stir the apricot preserves and the mustard into the mixture. Pour mixture over the pork. Cover and cook until pork is fork tender and cooked through, approximately 4 to 5 hours on high or 8 to 10 hours on low.

Transfer pork to cutting board. This makes 8 servings. For less servings, cut off half or whatever needed. Slice the current piece and let the other part cool. When cooled, roast can be wrapped well and frozen for up to two months.

Serve sliced with the cooking sauce.

*If you don't have the olive oil you can use canola oil.

SLOW COOKER POTATO, CARROT, AND ONION POT ROAST

2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp canola oil
1 large onion, cut into wedges
3 lb rump roast
3 carrots peeled and sliced
3 medium russet potatoes, cut into large cubes
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp salt
1 box dry onion soup mix (both packets)
3 cups boiling water
1 tbsp cornstarch

Melt the butter in the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion wedges and roast. Brown the beef on all sides. Transfer the beef and onion to the slow cooker.

Arrange the potatoes, carrots, and bay leaves around the roast. Sprinkle the salt over all.

In a heatproof bowl, combine the onion soup mix with the boiling water. Stir until smooth. Pour over the meat and vegetables in the slow cooker. Cover cooker and cook on high 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch and about 1 teaspoon water; stir to form a paste. Add 2 cups of the hot liquid from the slow cooker and bring to a boil, stirring until the gravy is thickened. Serve the roast with the vegetables and gravy.

Note: Replace the onion soup mix with onion-mushroom soup mix, if desired.

Enjoy!

Crockpot Cooking Ideas For Cold Weather - Plan A Week Of Hearty Meals To Stay Cozy And Warm

!±8± Crockpot Cooking Ideas For Cold Weather - Plan A Week Of Hearty Meals To Stay Cozy And Warm

If getting from your car to your door seems like a march through the tundra during cold winter days, a trip to the grocery store may be excruciating to think about. You may be entertaining thoughts of staying in your nice warm car and driving through a fast food place for dinner instead. But, that sort of impulse can really defeat a grocery budget, even though the nice warm car is tempting.

How can you feed your family a nice hot meal without suffering those icy cold trips? By planning one shopping day with one goal in mind - creating enough crockpot meals for a week. Let's see how this can be accomplished.

Start by gathering together your favorite crockpot recipes, picking a variety of dishes so your family doesn't get tired of the same old food. Make a grocery list that includes everything you need for the week based on the recipes you've chosen. Check your pantry for the standard supplies, too. Now do all your shopping for the week.

When you get home, carefully wrap and freeze the meat for the meals later in the week, chop up all your veggies for each meal and seal in containers. You are well on your way to a week of cozy meals without having to venture out in the cold. Here we go.

Sunday - Begin the week with a wonderfully aromatic Rotisserie Chicken. Your crockpot will produce a nice, crispy and juicy chicken just like a deli rotisserie. Make it a Sunday dinner by including your garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.

Monday - A Crockpot French Dip Roast is an easy way to serve a hot and satisfying sandwich for dinner. It may be just a sandwich, but it sure seems more like a meal when you use a good, hearty hard roll and add mozzarella cheese on top.

Tuesday - Time to spice things up a bit with a hearty White Chicken Chili. You control the spice, so this meal will satisfy everyone's tastes. Serve with a nice crusty bread and no one walks away hungry. You may have enough leftover chicken from Sunday for this dish.

Wednesday - This is your night to go meatless with a fabulously rich Minestrone Soup. You could replace the beef broth with chicken broth if you choose, but, as is, this is a frugal meal that will please even your staunchest meat eater.

Thursday - Time to surprise your family with Homemade Calico Beans for dinner. This dish is wonderfully satisfying and relatively inexpensive to make using dried cooked beans and ground beef. Save the leftovers for next week's lunches.

Friday - It's Smorgasbord time! One day of the week is always busier than the rest. You'll be glad to have a refrigerator full of leftovers for that day. You can use your creative nature to re-invent some of the leftovers into new dishes or you can simply arrange your leftovers on the counter with plates, bowls, and silverware, and have your family dig in.

Saturday - The races are on TV and we're not budging. So, when it comes time to eat, putting a platter of Pulled Pork Sandwiches on the table and having everyone help themselves, is a great way to enjoy the races and fill our tummies without missing a moment of the action.

Stocking up and preparing for a week's worth of meals ensures that you have a house full of food for your family. But, equally as important, when your family finally gets home in out of the cold, they will walk into a house fragrant with the savory aromas of a delicious dinner ready to enjoy. Give this plan a try for one week and I guarantee you won't miss those stops at the drive-thru for a moment!

White Chili Chicken Crockpot Recipes

!±8± White Chili Chicken Crockpot Recipes

Many people still look at the term "white chili" and wonder what is involved in making it. It really is not a big secret. White chili recipes leave out the tomato, resulting in a white rather than red color. Instead of using red beans, white beans are used, such as great northern white beans, one of the crockpot recipes favorites. The recipes are designed for chicken or turkey and white beans. If your dinner guests include vegetarians, leave out the poultry and replace any meat stock that might be requested with vegetable stock.

This special white chicken chili is made in the crockpot, and is a wonderful recipe to make during the fall and winter, and even in the early spring, when the mornings and evenings are still cool. The chicken is so delicious with the onion, garlic, wine, and bean flavors. You can never have enough warm, satisfying main dish recipes, and this one will become one at the front of your list of favorite crockpot recipes. What is even better is that the most difficult step is still easy. Once the onion, chicken, and garlic are browned in a skilled, everything is combined in the crockpot. There, it will simmer, blend, and combine the flavors of all the ingredients until finished.

Are you leaving for the day? Take a bit of time before you leave to prepare the onion, chicken, and garlic, toss the batch into the crockpot with the remaining ingredients, cover, and switch it on low to cook all day while you are away. Have you been feeling a bit run down because you have been skipping breakfast? Eat some cereal or toast while you are preparing tonight's main dish. Once you see how easy it is to let dinner cook itself after just a few minutes of prep work, you will start planning a warm, delicious meal to take for the next meeting. When you arrive home to the welcoming aroma of dinner, and realize that you can eat it as soon as you are ready for it, you will be thrilled that you tried this crockpot recipe.

Mustard powder is not something most cooks use every day. The seasoning adds a slightly spicy flavor without making the chili too hot. Garlic and onion are more common seasonings, and when combined with the cheese garnish and cilantro, the flavor of Old Mexico comes rushing through. Serve the chili with tortilla chips, either to the side or over the top of them. Soft, warm bread is also a good choice for those who prefer that to crunchy chips.
