Either use pork tenderloin or small pork butt. 

 Place in slow cooker.  Add 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of molasses, and 1/4 cup of apple-cider vinegar. 

 SLOW Cook as usual - 4-6 hours...your meat will turn out so tender it will melt in your mouth.

I have a recipe for a roast that is easy and delicious. Basically you just put a 2-3 lb. roast with cloves inserted in it (like a ham), and use 1 cup fresh cranberries or 1 can cranberry sauce with whole berries. If you use fresh berries, split each berry before using. Fill your cooker with  enough water to halfway cover the meat and cook on low 6-8 hours.

 My favorite new slow cooker recipe is the beef stroganoff recipe on Betty Crocker. I buy beef stew meat already cut up, add the soup and a little onion and worcester  sauce and cook all day, then add the cream cheese and sour cream. I had half the cream cheese, so it is a little healthier. We eat half for dinner, then freeze half for another meal. Yum!

I promise this chicken/turkey does not dry out and it always turns out tasty, no matter what you do to it.  The broth makes a wonderful gravy with a little thickening too.

Easy Herbed Poultry

1 Turkey Breast (may be precooked)

       Or 4-5 boneless Chicken Breasts

2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup

1 TBSP Soy Sauce

1 TBSP minced Parsley

½ tsp dry basil

½ tsp rubbed sage

½ tsp dry thyme

¼ tsp ground black pepper

¼ tsp garlic powder

1 cup chicken broth (more if needed)

Place turkey/chicken in crockpot.  Combine remaining ingredients and mix into soups and broth.  Pour over turkey.  Cook on low 4 hrs for precooked turkey breast or on high 5-6 hours for uncooked.   Cook chicken on low 4-5 hours our until you can put a fork through it and it breaks apart.  "Gravy" can be used from the broth by thickening it with extra cream of chicken soup.  May add more herbs to suit your personal tastes.

 Does anyone know the time, temp (high, low, auto-shift),  and adaptations that might be needed to prepare  the Impossible Taco Pie  in a slow cooker?  Thanks for any help you may give.

Thanks,

Keri 

I am new to cooking so my question may seem odd.

What is "roast"....is it Beef, Pork or Chicken?

did you try this one http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes-beef/cranberry-pot-roast/

You know how we sling things together hoping they'll turn out right? Well, I had some boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the freezer that I needed to cook since they'd been in there for as long as was realistic. I put them out to thaw in a bowl of cold water while I prepared my Monday evening meal. After cleanup for the meal, I shook the water off those breasts, now partially thawed, sprayed them with butter flavor cooking spray & popped them in a skillet to grill, just until the surfaces were white, with a little browned area too. Then I spread them out across the bottom of a cooker bowl & covered them  (about 1" over the top of the breasts) with canned chicken broth & popped the covered bowl into the fridge overnight. On Tuesday morning, I put the bowl into the slow cooker & started it on low.  On Tuesday evening, I made some quick rice. While that was cooking, I drained the broth off the chicken in the cooker and blended it with a package of white sauce mix in the blender. I put that on the stovetop & stirred it til lslightly thick. When the rice & sauce were done, I put the rice in a casserole dish, I put the breasts atop, and then poured the chicken white sauce over that.  Added a quick salad to the meal and voila! Dinner in about 15 minutes! Man! was that tasty! You may want to season it with your favorite seasonings, but I prefer somewhat restrained seasonings with chicken and rice.

when I put potatoes in the crock pot, I use any  small potatoes, leave skins on, wash well of course, they don't fall apart this way.

I use small potatoes in my slow cooker too!  New potatoes.  They always come out fine. Hope this helps

For the dryness with the chicken breast add a teaspoon of butter.

 Cook the chicken in the slower cooker on low for 3-4 hours. Add a little milk and a tbs butter and for 2 people add about 2 cans of biscuits varying on how much chicken you used and salt and pepper to taste and when it thickens it's awesome. try serving with a sprinkle of grated cheese on top. Awesome! Kid and husband loves this and will not eat chicken any other way:)

Hello!

I love using my slow cooker as well! It makes life and dinner easy for me! I recently made pulled bbq beef. I cooked a chuck roast for about 5 hours, took it out and cut the fat off and sliced the meat up. Then i put the sliced meat back into the cooker and poured 1.5 bottles of BBQ (Smoked Hickory-I love the Bulls Eye BBQ!). And let it cook for about 1-2 hours and you have bbq!

At the stores they do have Pork Roast which i bought so i was going to try to make BBQ out of that as well. Hope this helps!

A roast can be pork or beef

Thank You, I will try all 3 they sound very good and so simple.

This is a fast but great meal for pork or beef. I use boneless pork or like beef round steak.(You can use pork chops, but it's so tender the bones are messy) 

Cut meat in 2" x 3" pieces and brown in oil on both sides....centers will still be pink. Put in the crock pot and add 2 cans of Campbells "Beefy Mushroom Soup" it's not the regular mushroom soup. It's more like a beefy gravy. Just a dash of salt....because the soup is salty enough and some pepper. You can add a can of mushrooms if you like and cook for a few hours. It comes out so tender you could cut it with a spoon. Remove and top noodles or mashed potatos with remaing gravy. Prep time is like 15 mins. ENJOY!!

I put boneless pork chops in the crock pot along with a bottle of bbq sauce and a can of beer. Cook on low all day and then you can shred and make sandwiches.

I just posted my favorite crockpot pork roast recipe on another conversation!  Here it is again, along with a secondary recipe that is my husband's fave.

Crockpot Cranberry Pork Roast

Take a lean (boneless, or just work around bones after cooked) pork roast, or trim the fat off a cheaper cut (the grease that floats to the top is so unappetizing!  ).  Rinse it and season with your favorite seasonings (I'm not a pepper person, so I just add a little seasoning salt).  Put in the crockpot.

Mix together one can whole berry cranberry sauce, a few teaspoons of your favorite mustard (the original recipe called for dry ground, which I didn't have, so I used my honey mustard), and enough juice (cranberry or orange work well) and/or red wine to make a thin pasty consistency.  Pour over roast, and cook on low until tender.  I usually cook 8-10 hours on low.  The original recipe called for pouring the juices into a saucepan and thickening into gravy.  I did it once, but we usually just spoon the juices into ramekins or custard cups and use it as a dipping sauce.

This recipe is very adaptable to whatever you have on hand--and there are no measurements because it depends on (1) the size of your roast, (2) your individual tastes.  This is a real toss-together sort of "recipe"--I've made a few different versions of it, and everyone who's had it loves it!

Crockpot Pork Spaghetti Sauce

Lean boneless pork, or trim fat (or skim later), crocked with 2 jars of your favorite cheap spaghetti sauce, one can diced tomatoes (with or without seasonings, depending on how much you like to doctor your sauce), 1/2-1 cup red wine.  Cook on low for 8 hours or longer, until pork is tender.  If you like mushrooms, saute some sliced mushrooms and add for the last 1-3 hours of cooking time.  (Or more--I've never tried to crock pot mushrooms for the whole time, and my guess is they'd fall apart, but I don't know.  I was actually going to saute them and add them at the start of this, but I forgot, so I added them later!).  Serve over your favorite noodles, toast, or whatever!
