slow cooker dinners

The next time you are asked to bring something to a potluck dinner, do yourself a favor and make this five bean hotdish!&nbsp;The best way I can think of to describe this hotdish is that it’s somewhere in the middle between baked beans and chili, and it's 100% delicious.

60 ml (4 tbsp) red wine

tomato puree (paste

tbsp sugar

bay leaves

tbsp worcestershire sauce

120 ml (1/2 cup) chicken stock

Sprinkle the pork with the salt and pepper and then place in the pan. Seal the meat on all sides (should take 7-10 mins).

Turn the heat down and add the onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes - stirring a couple of times - until the onion starts to soften.

Add in the red pepper and garlic, stir and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Add in the red wine and let it bubble down for a couple of minutes.

Add in the tomato puree, sugar, bay leaves, oregano, thyme, tinned tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and stock. Stir, and then bring everything to a gentle simmer.

If you&#39;ve been cooking it in the pan until this stage, now is the time to pour everything into the slow cooker.

Cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 7-8 hours.

After this time, discard the bay leaves and shred the meat with two forks or a potato masher. It should be very tender. Test for seasoning and add in more salt and pepper if needed.

Serve the pork on top of cooked pasta with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Hello,

i want to make this recipe but i dont have a slow cooker. How long does this dish have to stew in the oven?

thank you :-)

Let me start by saying I already had leftover pulled pork from a get together that we had.  My husband had slow cooked the pork shoulders on the bbq grill so my pork had a bit of a smoky flavor to start. So I used one pound instead of the pork shoulder called for.  I also didn't have any red wine so I added a bit more stock. I think the wine would have been a bonus. Since my pork had already been slow cooked I didn't use a crock pot and cooked the ragu on the stovetop. It was delicious served over wide egg noodles. I would like to try this recipe again and make it as instructed. I'm sure it could only be better!

Once again, clean plates on the table.  Great recipe - thank you!

Put this in the slow cooker yesterday before work, came home to wonderful aromas coming from the kitchen. Delicious dinner then ready in less than 30 mins. Definitely making this again.

This Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast is sure to become a family favorite! It&#39;s tender, delicious, and EASY – and  just 7 ingredients!

Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast

chuck roast (trimmed of excess fat (or beef roast of choice))

oil ((optional))

beef broth (use just ½ cup if you do not brown the roast)

pepperoncini peppers (drained of their juices)

(1 oz/28 grams) ranch dressing mix

(1 ounces 21-28 grams) au jus mix

Prepare the roast. Use a sharp knife to remove any obvious strips of fat on the outside of the roast; they should come off very easily.

Optional: To create extra flavor, brown the roast on all sides in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to the skillet, then place the roast into the skillet, browning for 3-5 minutes, or until the meat releases from the pan. Flip and brown the other side for 3-5 minutes. Finally, use tongs to brown the thinner sides of the roast.

Deglaze the pan. Remove the roast from the skillet and pour in 1 cup of beef broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits with the bottom of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat.

Seasoning. Place the roast into the slow cooker and sprinkle it on all sides with the ranch dressing and au jus mixes. Pour in the liquid from deglazing (or ½ cup of beef broth if you did not brown the roast first).

Add pepperoncini peppers (without the juices/pickling liquid).

Cut the butter into 5 pieces and scatter them over the top of the roast.

Cook on low. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-9 hours.

Once the meat is fully cooked (with a minimum internal temperature of 145ºF/63ºC), remove it from the crock and set it on a large platter or cutting board.

Shred and soak. Shred the meat, then return it to the liquid to soak up the juices for 5-10 minutes.

Serve with your choice of mashed potatoes, rice, cooked noodles, or your favorite side dishes. It also makes for fabulous sandwiches!

We finally found the recipe we like best! This one has the perfect amount of flavor with minimal heat. It's very tender and great for work nights.
