Slow cookers

Posted by LadyMarmalade, July 21, 2008

I've noticed an upswing in the use of slow cookers...maybe because I use one, too!

I went to a dinner party and the hosts served beef brisket that they had cooked in the crock-pot. They used a recipe they got off (I think) a southern food web site. The sauce was made with dark beer and a little brown sugar. It was delish.

My brown rice and chorizo is cooking back home. When I get home tonight at 6pm, the house will smell good. It's a Spanish rice dish that I got from "Not your mother's slow cooker cook book," which has lots of good recipes.

I've also adapted the long cooking, traditional Italian red sauce for the slow cooker, and it is mighty tasty.

What are some of the things you like to make in yours? Are there sites and cookbooks that you like?
