Crockpot Cooking

Crockpot cooking is one of the easiest and delicious ways of cooking for the family. There is so many recipes available from appetizers to desserts. I love to put some boneless chicken breast in the crockpot with some cream of chicken soup and a little water. Turn the crockpot on in the morning and when i get home in the evening its all done and tender. Just get a box of stuffing and ad it to your chicken and mmm. you got yourself a yummy meal. It's great for beginning cooks because all you have to do is fill it and turn it on. Another benefit of the CrockPot is that it doesn't heat up the kitchen.

All types of foods can be prepared and cooked in a crockpot. For example, chicken, pork, beef, all types of vegetables and even fruits will cook up great in a crockpot. Even cheap and tough cuts of meat cook up and taste great in the crockpot. There is no reason you can't have a nice meal with little prep time. Your family will think you slaved over the stove for hours.

One of my all time favorite dishes is barbecued pulled pork sandwiches. For this recipe you will need an onion, 6 whole cloves, 3-4 pound pork roast, 1 cup of water, and 2 bottles of your favorite barbecue sauce. First: slice your onion up and lay in the bottom of the pot with your 6 cloves. Second: add pork roast and 1 cup of water. Cook on low 6-8 hours then, remove roast and put it in a dish. Take out the onion slices and cloves and through away. When your pork cools off pull pork off with a fork and return to crockpot. Add 2 bottles of your favorite barbecue sauce to the pulled pork in the crockpot and cook on high until sauce bubbles. Put on a bun and your in business. You have a tasty sandwich, and leftovers are even better the next day.

There are just endless possibilities with a crockpot. Have fun enjoy yourself and experiment.
