We have a Crock Pot®. Mike's mom gave it to us/him when he moved here and I love it but my problem is that Mr. C-P and I haven't gotten as well acquainted as I would like. We've made a couple of corned beef dinners together and some BBQ as well and a beef roast I think but not a whole lot more. I think it's time. But I want help with recipes; are there any good ones lurking in the reader audience? I'm not too picky about what we eat as long as there's some good protein involved {animal or legume}. And some veggies too.
In unrelated news, it's almost the freaking weekend baby and I'm about to have me some fun; quick - which song is that line from?! It's also almost Thanksgiving which is kind of frightening; as my pop has often told me, time seems to move faster as one gets older. It's not like I'm getting too up there in years but good golly Ms. Molly these days are whizzing by!
Also, it's a certain friend's birthday today ¡feliz cumpleaños!!!
xoxo, natty ♥

Oh, I need to make friends with Mr. C-P again too! One of my favorites is Tamale Pie. You can make it very homemade, or very easy made. I usually do it the easy way...
CrockPot Tamale Pie
1 lb ground meat (I like turkey),
1 packet of taco seasoning (or the spices required for tacos)
1-2 cans of your favorite beans (navy, kidney, pinto, etc)
1 can of whole sweet corn OR 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen kernals
1 can of diced tomatoes, or 2 cups diced tomatoes (you can leave these out if you aren't a big tomato fan)
Put all of the above in the crockpot and mix together.
In a separate bowl, mix up a batch of corn bread, either enough for an 8x8 pan or a 9x13 pan. I use a boxed corn bread mix, but you can make a homemade if you want.
Pour the cornbread mixture over the meat/bean mixture.
Turn the crockpot on low, and leave for 6 hours.
Cornbread will rise to the top, creating a cornbread crust on top of the chili mixture on the bottom.
Serve with sour cream. It tastes better the next day!
Yes! I love this type of thing! Thanks Brooke =)
I've tried a couple of pulled pork recipes and this is the easiest:
Put pork butt/shoulder in crock pot and cover with root beer. Cook on low (7-8 hours I think) drain root beer and shred pork with forks. Put pork back in crock pot with your favorite BBQ sauce to heat through and serve on rolls or in tortillas. Yum!
Thanks Lauren; Mike loves that type of BBQ too!
