Yeah, I thought so too. But it adds a whole other layer of flavoring and it's wonderful.

Mole is a Mexican sauce that also uses chocolate and chilies. It's a nice balance of flavors.

This is a great thread. I've subscribed and hope to participate if I can ever find the time to sit down and type out a few recipes!

In the meantime, here are two easy ones that use Pork Butt (Country Style Ribs) and another that uses the leftovers of one of the recipes.

I don't use a particular measurement of the pork, just whatever happens to be in the package - usually about 3 or so pounds.

Carnitas

Place pork in Crock Pot
Add 2 T. Granulated Garlic
Top with 1 can (abt. 7 oz) of Salsa Verde

Cook on high all day. The meat will easily shred when done. If you like, you can salt it and crisp it up under a broiler for a few minutes. Serve in corn tortillas with diced onion and fresh cilantro.


Hawaiian Pig

Place pork in Crock Pot
Pour a half bottle of liquid smoke over the pork
Sprinkle with 1 1/2 T salt

Cook on high all day. The meat will easily shred when done.


Leftover Hawaaiin pork makes great pulled pork sandwiches. Simply return the leftover pork to the crockpot, add a bunchof your favorite BBQ sauce, and cook on low for a few hours to heat through. Serve in buns. It's quick and easy and doesn't seem like you're eating leftovers!

Easiest one ever:

(I have a 6-quart crockpot so I you can 1/2 this if you need)

5lbs of boneless/skinless chicken breast
2 cans of cream of mushroom
OR
2 cans of cream of chicken soup

Combine chicken & soup. Don't add any water, but make sure the chicken is completely covered.

Cook on low 8-9 hours.

I serve mine with either rice or mashed potatoes. Super easy & relatively inexpensive....

I take boneless, skinless chicken and cut it in chunks

Gee, I don't know about you, but all of my chickens have skin and bones and would really be wigged out if I tried cutting them up into chunks....

Just kiddin' ya

recipe sounds yummy

I make this for Memorial Day. I don't eat pigs myself, for aesthetic reasons, but DH says it's really good and I believe him.

Mix up a really big batch of BBQ sauce. I've seen all sorts of recipes involving seemingly random mixtures of orange juice, maple syrup, ketchup, mustard, whiskey, brown sugar, onions, etc. Use whatever secret family recipe you have or make one up, they all seem to be about the same anyway.

Pour BBQ sauce in crockpot. Fit as many pork ribs as you can in the crockpot. You may have to cut them into mini-racks of 3-4 bones each. Make sure the sauce covers the ribs pretty well.

Cook 7 hours on low.

Fire up a charcoal grill, preferably the smoker, with some hickory chips. Gently, very gently, lift the ribs out as whole as possible. A spatula will help, as will a slotted spoon. Set in a hot grill, plonk the lid down to hold in the smoke, and cook just until they crisp up a bit around the edges.

Eat as best you can.

Another: Venison Sauerbraten

Put in the crockpot:
1 large sliced onion
some apple cider vinegar. 1 cup? Something like that.
1/2 c. brown sugar. Or maple syrup. Or both.
some bay leaves
some cloves
some juniper berries
one tart apple, cut up.
sweet apple cider. Or hard. Or both. Or red wine might be good too.
Some butter. A couple of pieces maybe. Or olive oil works OK too.
1 hunk of deer meat. Roasts work well but so do large steaks.

Put lid on crock pot and cook for a while. A few hours, several hours, doesn't matter much. Go do something else until you remember that you had a roast cooking. Then ignore it some more while you make spaetzle, which are a type of German dumpling that is quite good when made well and like little rubber erasers when not. You can get them in a box like pasta if you want.

Serve thin slices of the sauerbraten, which should now be soft and difficult to slice, with onions and cooking juice over the spaetzle. Sandwiches on oatmeal bread the next day, with horseradish cheddar melted on top, are very, very good.

Sorry-that was just funny right there!

All funnies aside, I use that recipe myself, and it's fool proof. You can also add cut up potatoes, peppers, onions, or broccoli. It's a favorite of my hubbs and my daughter. It's pretty good for company too.

HA! That would be a BIG seller, too....I'm sure! LOL GAG!

I put in the crock pot about 2 lbs of chicken breast add a can of cream of mushroom soup and a can of cream of celery and 1 can water and leave in there for about 6 hours.
( the way my pot is it goes by time not temp)
I then serve with rice, potatoes and zucchini.
