my favourite crock pot recipe - you need meat leftovers to make this!

ingredients:
- 2 to 2.25 lbs of meat leftovers, cooked. Any kind of meat, seasoned in any way, any combinations of meat is fine, from chicken to turkey to pot roast to steaks.
- 2 sticks celery, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 medium/large onions, diced
- 1 head of garlic, peeled
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup, mixed with equivalent amount of either beer or dry white wine
- 1 cup fresh herbs, any combination, chopped (sage/thyme/basil usually works good for me, but do what you want)
- 1 large or 2 small tomatoes, diced
- 1 can condensed beef or chicken broth, mixed with 1 oz each whiskey or rye, rum or spiced rum, coffee or espresso, water

Evenly devide each ingredient, except the 2 soups, into 4 piles. Layer 4x in your crock pot in this order: onion, celery, carrot, tomato, garlic, herbs, meat. Devide your 2 soups each in half. Layer half of the mushroom soup over layers 1 and 3 of solid food, pour the 2 halves of broth over 2 and 4 of solid food. (This will all mix within itself as the crock pot cooks.)

Set into your cooker, and cook on LOW for about 8 hours.

 

I guess I need to discover the joys of crock pots...That's the one thing I don't have yet. Thanks for the recipe!

 

any time, cozmo g....

I just recently started using it.... My parents moved to France, and left their crock pot behind with me, and I love making stews in it, it's so great.

It's even better than stovetop cooking.... just throw all the ingredients in, and let it simmer for a few hours.... nothing like coming home from a cold winter day to a house that smells like some awesome stew, it's so good.

 

sounds wonderful
