1finebroncobabe ran something similar back in June 2006 when she was asking for recipes for entertaining....and BillW just ran a thread a few days ago for turkey leftover recipes, and that kind of jogged my memory a little for this current little gem of inspiration...

What do y'all think of a online cookbook? With some 400,000 members, and based on some of the recipes I've already seen in past threads, I do believe that we could come up with a good little thread here.

This will be run a little different in that I'll start with one style of cooking....We'll run with that for a bit (depending on how many members decide to 'input'), then I'll change it to another style of cooking. I'll start with my own (easy) recipe.

Ground Rules:

1. Stay within the 'style' in the thread (i.e. casseroles, or vegetable side dishes, or desserts, etc.).

2. Only post 1 recipe at a time. If you happen to post more than 1 recipe within a 'style', that's perfectly fine.....But only 1 per post.

3. Homemade or 'improved' recipes are fine. Recipes you got out of a cookbook are also fine, HOWEVER....Make sure that it is one that you've actually tried....not just one you pulled out of a cookbook.

4. If this thing becomes legend, and Ken decides to print it out and publish it as something like the "What Ford Lovers Eat" New & Improved cookbook....I wanna piece of the action.....

j/k on the last.

The first style is:

CROCKPOT COOKING


The first one here is so easy, a caveman could do it. As a matter of fact, the cavemen GAVE me this idea.

Indoor BBQ

Ingredients:

1 6lb to 9lb boston butt
Lawry's seasoning salt

-Coat the entire boston but (hand rub) in lawry's seasoning salt.
-Put the butt in a large crock pot, cover. DO NOT ADD ANY JUICE! (you don't need it).
-Put the selector to 'low'. Cook for 14 hrs.

That's it! Nothing more, nothing less, although you can variate your own seasonings. This is an amazingly juicy, tender, tasty way to cook a boston butt, and the taste is similar to smoking it at a pig picking. The meat literally falls off of the bone, and you'll end up with a couple of inches of juice in the crock pot. Need I give any ideas for usage? Get some buns, your favorite BBQ sauce, and you've got instant BBQ sandwiches. Get some tortillas and your favority skillet seasoning, and you've got the base for burritos or enchiladas......It's good in omelets too.

That's it. Next person please!.....

Remember....We're only doing crockpot cooking right now.....

I think I must be having a second adolescence, 'cause this cracked me up:
(With apologies to cmpd )

Moderators - feel free to delete this if it would otherwise get this thread moved to the club.

 

This is my favorite crock pot recipe

4-5 lbs of pork ribs (your choice)
Two or three bottles of your favorite BBQ sauce


Put ribs in crock pot, pour in the bottles of BBQ sauce (however much it takes to submerge the ribs, mine takes two large bottles or three average size bottles). Set at 210 degrees and cook for 7-8 hours.

mm-mmm-mmmmm.

Only thing I wish I could change about it is the fact that the BBQ sauce gets all runny and watery after cooking that long. Ah well.

 

Deer tenderlion in the crock pot with BBQ sauce leave it in ther all day. It makes one hell of a good meal.

 

Did I actually say 'boston babe's' butt?......Oops!......Please don't make a link between the cut of meat and 1fbb!!!........

Here's MY recipe for THE BEST DARN BEANS IN THE WORLD

Basic recipe. you can make more servings by using a proportionate amount of ingredients

INGREDIENTS

(2) of 14oz-19oz cans of brown beans (heinz or libby's)
1/3 cup - orange juice or sherry
3/4 cup- ketchup or catsup
3/4 cup - bullseye b.b.q.sauce
(2) of onions (spanish or white)**** minced****
(1) of green pepper (chopped fine)
(1) of red pepper ( chopped fine)
(4) slices side bacon
2-tblsp brown sugar
1-tblsp lemon juice
1-tsp instant coffee
1-tsp dry mustard
1-tsp tabasco

Directions
Saute bacon until just done >>>>drain off some of the fat
in the remaining bacon grease

Add the onion & peppers >>>saute until brightest colour
DO NOT OVER COOK
Chop up the bacon and add the rest of the ingredients
Place in casserole dish or bean pot
Cook at 300 for about 11/2 -2 hrs
These are a great side dish for a B.B.Q.
ENJOY !!!!!

 

I usually cook this on the stove, but the crockpot works fine, too:
Bachelor Pot Roast
Brown a large chunk of roast
Add 4-5 plops of ketchup
Add a beer or two
Add carrots, onions, potatoes, celery, whatever ya like
Simmer for a few hours- even better the next day!

 

ur making me hungry!!!

 

BAM!

An "Unofficial FTE Cookbook Thread" is a good idea.

BAM!

 

Great stuffing, Mil1ion....Not quite in the crockpot milieu, but we'll revisit it when we get to side dishes.......

The beans DO sound good.

 

Except for the ketchup, not too different from a yankee pot roast. It DOES tend to add some 'savoriness' (is that a word?) to meat.....Good idea.

 

Good start, boys.....I've got another idea i'll add tomorrow, but I'll see if anyone else throws it out here first.......

 

sorry I missed reading the ground rules.

I am presently figuring out a recipe for Buffalo Chili.

Buffali or Chilfalo

 

As long as them-thar ribs fall off the bone......
