Slow-Cooker Recipes
by AndiatBettyCrocker  3/13/2008 9:54:00 AM

Our days are getting longer and warmer and for some of you, this means a change in your cooking. I plan to start looking for new grilling recipes – that is after Jack shovels off our deck where our gas grill is. Here in Minnesota, it's supposed to snow (or maybe rain) on Monday, so winter's not quite over yet.

 

St. Patrick's Day is also on Monday and many of us are looking forward to a corned beef boiled dinner that night. If you (like I) have to work on Monday, the perfect way to enjoy this meal is to start it before you leave for work in the morning—in a slow cooker. Try this recipe: Slow Cooker Corned Beef Brisket with Horseradish Sour Cream. Another popular corned beef recipe that can be made in a slow cooker is: Slow Cooker Reuben Sandwiches.

 

If corned beef isn't for you, try the Mushroom Swiss Steak and Gravy recipe. Here is Jack (it's his birthday today), peeking into our slow cooker, getting reading to spoon some Swiss steak onto his plate.
