Re: stovetop dinners
I LOVE my crock pot. I just made soup with a ham bone, frozen corn, two cans of beans, some dried lentils, an onion, some uncooked rice, chicken stock and diced tomatoes. Add water until everything is submerged. Dump it all in at 10:00 am and it is ready at dinner time. You can basically dump any mix of veggies and/or grains and it still works out.
I've made pot roast, pulled pork and beef stew in the crock pot. For the pot roast, I buy a hunk of meat (some kind of roast meat) I slather it in horseradish sauce and put it in the crock pot with some potatoes and onions at the bottom and a half cup of water. The long cooking time subdues the horseradish, and it's tasty but not nearly as strong as the original.
