About an hour ago I finished making dinner. I can't wait for 6 pm to roll around! Got to LOVE slow cooker meals. I for one, love them. They're quick, easy and always taste SO YUMMY!!! I know that apparently we're expecting Spring or Summer to show up, but until then these kinds of meals still come in handy. SO I thought I'd share my two specialties- Pot Roast and Fall off the bone Ribs.
{ Slow Cooked Pot Roast }
- Roast seasoned with Salt and Pepper
- 1 onion sliced to maintain its "O" shape
- Baby Carrots- sliced in half
- New potatoes- sliced in half
- 1 cup of either beef broth, water, or red wine
... Season roast with salt and pepper. Brown in a skillet to lock in the juices.
... Place roast in slow cooker. Surround it with carrots and potatoes.
... Place onion "O"s on top
... Pour 1 cup of liquid over top
... season with salt and pepper
... Set slow cooker on low and cook for ABOUT 35* minutes per pound for medium rare.
... Once roast has finished cooking allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before cutting it and serving it.
(* All slow cookers are different, adjust time according to your slow cooker)
~~~ Make gravy from the liquids or from a package.
~~~ Serve with Yorkshire pudding which can be made from crepe batter. MSG me if you want the details.
~ ENJOY! ~
{EASY Slow Cooked Ribs} - Falling off the bone goodness -
- Ribs of your choice.
- "Maui" Gold Label Sauce
- 1 Can of beer (non- alcoholic from the grocery store is great!)
... Brown ribs on a skillet.
... Put in Slow cooker
... Add in Maui sauce and can of beer.
... Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
... I will shift the ribs around making sure that everyone of them has spent some time in the liquids at the bottom. They say NOT to open a slow cooker, but seriously, ALL the ribs are just better if you rotate them.
... Fall off the bones ribs... every time.
... Serve with BBQ sauce or glaze.
So there you have it, two of my favs!!! Quick, easy and ALWAYS YUMMY!!!!!!!
Thanks for stopping in!
Love, Love!

Hey Christa,
ReplyDeleteSo I have a rookie question...(I've never cooked in a slow cooker before!)
I'm thinking of using your rib recipe for my husbands birthday...how long do they have to be in the slow cooker for, and would it need to be on high or low?
These recipes sound GREAT! Thanks for sharing!!!
Dana.
Hey Dana!
ReplyDeleteThese ribs won't fail you, even if you are a rookie! *grin*
Cooking them on low really is the best way to go. **On low cook them for 8 hours.** (6-8 is fine, as it doesn't have to be EXACT and they are still pretty good even at 6 hours.) If you're running short on time, then you can cook them on **HIGH for 4 hours.**
Happy cooking! Let me know how it went! (PS- Don't forget to rotate them so each spends time in the liquids!)
Yummy!!! I have had both of these meals compliments of you and they were both SOOO good!
