McDonalds hamburger addiction. By summer I wanna buy a cow from

The most recent Cooking Light magazine just had a feature on slow cookers.

Today I made the "Curried Beef Short Ribs" and it was fabulous!

Here's another bbq sauce variation that is very easy and tasty. I use it over pork chops, chicken breasts, beef or pork roast or even as a sloppy joe sauce. It's one jar of salse (whatever hotness you prefer) and a bit of mustard and brown sugar to taste. Quick, easy and oh so good over rice.

Another good sauce is coke gravy. Mix 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and 1/2 can of cola, pour over meat and cook. I usually use beef or venison roast, but I am sure it would taste good over pork or chicken also. It makes a tasty, sweet gravy and it great over mashed potatoes or noodles.

I haven't had this before, but saw the recipe and thought it sounded really good.

Brown Sugar Chicken

6 boneless, skinless breast halves
1 cup brown sugar (it's okay. you can brush your teeth after.)
1/4 cup lemon-lime soda (stay with me...)
2/3 cup vinegar (I used white wine, but think regular white would be fine)
3 cloves smashed and chopped garlic
2 T soy sauce (La Choy and Tamari wheat free are GF)
1 tsp ground black pepper

The Directions.

Use a 5-6 quart crock pot for this recipe.

Plop the chicken into your crock pot. Cover with the brown sugar, pepper, chopped garlic, and soy sauce. Add the vinegar, and pour in the soda. It will bubble!

Cover and cook on low for 6-9 hours, or on high for 4-5. The chicken is done when it is cooked through and has reached desired consistency. The longer you cook it, the more tender it will be.

Serve over a bowl of white rice with a ladle full of the broth
