Favorite Crock Pot Recipes

A friend of mine just got a new crock pot. My family loves the crock pot because its so easy to use and you get great food. So I figured I would post some of my favorite crock pot recipes.

Sweet and Spicy Corned Beef.

3 lb corned beef
1 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup backed brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup mustard (I like brown)

In a bowl mix marmalade, mustard and sugar. Rinse off the corned beef and put it in the crock pot with just enough water to cover the bottom of the pot. Coat the meat with the marmalade mix, cover and cook on medium for about 5-7 hours or so, or until done. Basting occasionally. Slice and serve.

This is my favorite corned beef recipe. I like it in a sandwich, on toasted lite rye, with pepper jack or muster cheese, and a little mayo. So good. Pair it with some cole slaw and you have corned beef and cabbage without boiling anything.



Crock Pot Lasagna

Make up your lasagna sauce and cheese mix however you normally do.
Some things my family likes in it are

Spinach
Tofu (if you freeze/then thaw tofu it will crumble just like ground beef)
Cottage cheese

Be sure to spray the crock pot with Pam or whatever oil spray you use, and your first layer needs to be your sauce mix. This keeps it from burning on the bottom. Don't cook your noodles first, just lay them in dry. A little extra sauce is good as this is the moisture that the noodles cook in.
Cook it on medium 'til the noodles are done. Don't over cook it or the noodles will get gummy.


Cranberry Roast

1 Beef Roast
1 pk. dried onion soup mix
1 can cranberry sauce

Rinse and trim the roast, put it in the pot with just enough water to cover the bottom. Mix up the cranberry sauce with the onion soup mix and coat the roast with it. Cover and cook 6-7 hours or until done. Slice and serve.

Pumpkin Pie Pudding
My mom makes this instead of pumpkin pie for thanks giving. She doubles it.
2 cups/15 oz can pumpkin (we use fresh that we have cooked and frozen from carved pumpkins)
12 oz can evaporated milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk baking mix
2 eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp butter, or oil
1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp vanilla
whipped cream

Sift together dry ingredients and add to wet, mix all together and pour into crock pot. Cook on low 6-7 hours, or until stiff like a custard.
