i'm waiting in line for this as well! All this sounds so good, I've been experimenting with the crockpot but would love a good recipe or two.

ooh ooh, i make a lot of stuff in my crockpot. i love it. i have a few recipes too. i'm at my mom's for the holidays, but i'll post when i get the chance.


really easy bean dip that is amazing, but sounds kinda gross:
canned refried bean, cream cheese, and velveta cheese.
for a large pot its something like 2 cans of beans, two blocks of cream cheese, and one block velveta. i promise its good.


also, the easiest thing you can do is dry rub on whole chickens. you can't really mess it up and i've used toooons of different seasonings. paprika, onion and garlic powder, cayan pepper, salt and pepper rubbed on the outside, under the skin and in the cavity... chop an onion and put half in pot and half in cavity. DELISH!

happy eating. i'll post some actual recipes and measurements later if any of you still want.

Crockpot's/Slow Cooker's are great. I like them so much I got 4 of them. I got a 6qrt one for x-mas last year, got another 6qrt one this year for x-mas, had an old one from my parents, and bought a 1.5 qrt one a while ago. The small one is good for keeping dips warm for parties. Of course, I'll probably give a couple away, as I don't think I need 3 big ones.
Anyways, a good site for recipes is here: http://southernfood.about.com/library/crock/blcpidx.htm

get a pork roast. what kind doesn't matter. something cheap is fine. but get it big.
put enough green salsa on it to nearly cover. you can also add carrots, zucchini, corn, bell peppers, potatoes, or what-have-you.
some cilantro and cumin to flavor it up a little bit, and some salt and pepper, and that's pretty much it.
about 8 hours on low, and you can flake it with a fork. serve it with tortillas, and you're dialed.

Isn't true chili verde made with Shoulder? It seems that everytime my Dad tries to make it with a loin, it comes out dry as hell with no flavor.

I prefer shoulder cuts, as well. I think the bone helps to keep the meat tender.
