We think this is a delicious recipe for crock pot stew.

And this 'ain't' no crock.

I have a Hamilton Beach one. I like it because you can take the pot out making it easier to clean.

All his meals for the week?

That must have been a large crockpot. He must have fed the freezer with meals as well. Is that what you are proposing to do?

My crockpot broke.

I used to throw some butt roast or ribs in there, with a little water and a bottle of BBQ sauce, and just let it cook all day. Or a little chicken with some water, a can of corn and a can of tomatoes.

Here is my Halloween recipe. I make it on Trick or Treat night. Kids who come to the door always say "Your house smells so good!" It has an autumn sort of smell/ taste.

Slow-simmered kidney beans

6 bacon strips, diced
1/2 pound fully cooked Polish sausage or kielbasas, chopped
4 16-oz cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 medium sweet red peppers, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup ketchup
1/2 packed brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground mustard
2 medium unpeeled red apples, cored and cut into 1/2 inch pieces

In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels. Add sausage to drippings; cook and stir 5 minutes. Set aside.

In an ungreased 5-qt slow cooker, combine beans, tomatoes, red peppers, onion, ketchup, brown sugar, honey, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, salt and mustard. Stir in bacon and sausage. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Stir in apples. Cover and cook 2 hours or longer or until bubbly. Yield: 16 servings.

I have 4 crockpots (6-qt and 4-qt in the traditional deep shape, 4-qt casserole dish style and a 1/2-qt [for gravy])...have a pot of vegetables and mushrooms with a little roasted beef and stock for flavor going in one of them right now.

Anyone here have a crockpot? Which would you recommend? I just saw a video where a guy took a large plate of chicken breasts, some potatoes, brussel sprouts, canned whole tomatoes and marinara sauce, put them in a crockpot, and then set it to cook for 6 hours and apparently he just made all his meals for the week in 5 minutes. I'm thinking about getting one of these things.

I really like this idea as I hate to cook and wait for 40 minutes for a single meal.

I once saw a piece of performance art/avant-garde music that involved a man vomiting into a crock pot.
