Need Help-and quick

I decided to give my cousin a crockpot as a gift. I'm going to her house on Mon. night and need a good crockpot recipe to bring in the crockpot and it needs to feed 8.

 

The thing she is a really picky eater. That I know of, she doesn't like peas, green peppers, lima beans, tomatoes or anything tomato based and blue cheese-she's this boring and then some in real life. Her husband who is slightly more interesting doesn't like anything spicy.

 

I'm tired of the recipes I have and want to do something new, plus her dietary restrictions cancels out many of the ideas I have.

 

I know during the FF season there were a few posted here but I didn't pay much attention-too busy trying to decide whether to play Kevin Barlow or Wally Lundy.

First off, which crockpot are you giving? If it's not too late (or too expensive), I highly recommend the AllClad Crockpot. It's $99 (versus like $49 for a Rival), but does a much, much better job with temperature control. The digital Rivals are not good with this.

 

You can get it at Williams Sonoma, and they will even wrap it. Coincidentally, they will also have a couple of good crockpot cookbooks :D

I made this and really liked it!

 

Well with all the festivals around Fall this and Fall that festival, and of course, October Fest as well-let's go German shall we??

 

The German pot roast seems to have several versions, all with layers of earthly tang and spice. Red Wine, chopped dill pickles, and hearty mustard set this on apart.

 

German-Style Beef Roast

 

Prep-25 min

Cook-low 8hrs/high 4hrs

CP-3 1/2 to 4 qt

 

1-2 1/2 to 3 lb boneless beef chuck roast

1 tablespoon cooking oil

2 cups sliced carrots

2 cups chopped onions

1 cup chopped celery

3/4 cup chopped kosher-style dill pickels

1/2 cup dry red wine

1/3 cup German-style mustard

1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

2 bay leaves

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons dry red wine

 

Hot cooked spaetzle or cooked noodles

Crumbled cooked bacon

 

Step 1- Trim fat, if necessary quater roast, slowly brown roast in skillet using the oil, drain of fat.

 

Step 2- While browning meat slowly, place carrots, onions,celery, and pickles into CP. Place meat over vegtables. In a small bowl combine the 1/2 cup red wine, mustard, pepper, cloves, and bay leaves. Pour over meat, cover and cook desired time/temp. Transfer meat to platter(cover to keep warm-foil).

 

Step 3- For gravy, transfer vegtables to bowl(keep warm) and cooking liquid to a 2 qt sauce pan. Skim off any fat, remove bay leaves. Stir together flour and the two tablespoons of red wine. Stir into mixture . Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Serve meat and vegtables with gravy and hot cooked noddles(or spaetzle). If desired, top with bacon.

 

Well let's talk some football- I like the Chefs to take down a wounded Hawks club.

 

Seahawks 20

Chefs 30

 

Good Luck on the Homer Front and FF Wise!!!!

 

Bon Appetite and Happy Octoberfest to all-Peace PD.
