omnomnomI've had a friend ask about tricks for slow-cookers. Do you have any? What are your favorite recipes?
My mom's chili recipe under the cut!
In a slow cooker, place 1 2lb roast. I use eye of round because it doesn't have a lot of fat. You can use whatever. Mom uses leftovers a lot.
To this, add a slurry made with the following:
--3T chili powder
--1T chile powder
--1T ginger
--1/2T cinnamon
--3T dried onion
--1/2t garlic powder
--about 2 cups of water
Set your slow cooker to stun, or low, and let it go for at least 8 hours. You want the meat to be easily shreddable with two forks.
Shred meat with afore-mentioned two forks.
To this, add the following:
--2 cans petite diced tomatos, one drained, one not
--3 cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed (2 dark, 1 light)
Sometimes I add corn. Most times, I don't.
If it looks like it needs liquid, then don't drain the second can of tomatoes. If it looks like it needs less liquid, then drain both cans of tomatoes. At this point, you'll want to taste it for heat and also salt. I find I usually need to add more chile powder, as well as salt at this point.
Let this cook for another few hours. Serve with sour cream, cheese, diced onions, and saltines.
