Heavily salt and pepper an English Roast on both sides then put in a large bowl and cover with Coca Cola (yes, Coke). Refridgerate overnight. Take roast out of coke and place in crock pot. Cover with 2 or 3 cans of beef broth. Cook on high for 3 hours then turn to low for minimum 3 hours but it is perfection if left on low for 5-6 hours. The meat just falls apart and melts in your mouth! Please try this receipe and let me know what you think.I love using my slow cooker, is there any other meat dishes and recipes i can use, apart from chicken.?
i love to put ribs in my slow cooker, then cover them with BBQ sauce, set it to low and let it cook all day long, they are sooo tender and just fall off the bone. try these websites....

You can cook any meat in a slow cooker. I cook rabbit with cider and mustard in mine and it is excellent. Or try pheasant, an old bird will make a lovely ' Coq au Vin'. I still have the recipe book for mine, they are very versatile.


When I was a student I used it to cook jacket potatoes and chilli. Start the jackets off by washing them, salting the skins and pricking them. Cook them on high for about 4 hours, add a tin of chilli from Lidl and cook for another 1 hour. Cheap meal and whilst it was cooking, I propped up the bar with my mates. It was the only thing we had to make a hot meal with.


I even made bread in it, and it came out surprisingly well.
I do a beef stew. I cut up large onions in quarters so they go into big junks, add some cubed beef a stock cube in a cup of water, mushrooms, carrots, salt and pepper and just let it cook for about 4 hours, i do this on the hob buy in a normal saucepan. When the meat is really tender I add a little cream before serving with mashed potatoes.
Almost anything can be cooked in a slow cooker (as long as you're not trying to fry or broil, etc., using dry heat or oil, etc.).





The lighter proteins like fish and chicken/turkey breast are actually the least good (though that doesn't mean they aren't still fine), but heavier proteins like dark meat chicken, beef, pork, etc., work the absolute best.


Even vegetables or fruit can be great in a slow cooker whether they're cooked in there with a meat/poultry/etc. or as part of a crockpot stew/soup/casserole, or just alone.

Place a can of chili beans in the bottom of your slow cooker. Add a small roast. Top it with a can of diced tomatoes, onions, peppers, and any chili spices you like. Add amount of liquid required by you manufacture usually 1/2 cup. Cook on slowest setting. Before eating, take a couple of forks and shred the roast into small pieces. Best chili ever.
I also love to cook in my slow cooker. I bought a recipe book from Amazon with lots of ideas in it. I am slowly working my way through them. Any meat is good in a slow cooker and you can buy some of the cheaper cuts, because they are being cooked slowly they taste just as good as the more expensive cuts. Try liver and sausage with onions and gravy, yummy.
roast,beef and pork.with your potatoes in it and carrots
Pork Roast - various veggies - seasoning to taste - on HIGH for 8 hours - east with biscuits
A beef roast works great.





Place the roast in your slow cooker.


Add water to within 1 inch to the top of the meat.


Sprinkle a package of Lipton Onion Dry Soup Mix on top of the meat.


Cook for about 6 hours. Watch the water level.


Remove and shred meat.


Serve with Broccoli Cheese and rice, and a baked potato.





We usually had this for Sunday dinner after church.


Our youngest son named it Church Meat. The name has stuck for over 25 years. And when our children come home for vacation, visits, or holidays, we always fix Church Meat!





Enjoy! We still do!
There are so many great dishes you can make in a slow cooker. I put a beef roast and the potato's and the carrots and onions in with it to cook all day and you have a slammin meal. I also love country style ribs with BBQ sauce cooking all day! There is a really bunch of great things. Meatballs for hoogies is another one of my favorites! Good luck!
lamb hotpot, gammon, beef stew, vegetable stew
Roast with garlic cloves inserted into it.
Cheaper cuts of meat are well suited to slow cooking. ground beef is a good choice, as in chili and spaghetti sauces, but it has to be browned in a pan before you put it in the slow cooker.


Have fun! Good Luck with all the recipes you are going to find!
I make everything in my slow cooker from beef roast cooked in wine and broth w/ veggies to pork roast cooked in veg broth and seasoning and veggies, to meatballs, to chicken w/ rice and cheese sauce. It's a great source for dinner when you work or are on the go all day. Get creative, if you can make it on the stove, you can make it in a slow cooker. I even put my meat in there to cook all day and then make burritos or tacos later.
If you're feeling adverturous,


road-kill stew is always a crowd pleaser.
just about any meat and veg surprised you did not get a recipe book with the slow cooker.
Beef stew is good in a slow cooker.
Beef is great. Use a roast. Put in vegies, spices and your roast and some water. You'll love it! I loved this when I had my slow cooker. It was great. Lamb is also good in a slow cooker as is certain types of pork. All done pretty much the same way.
pot roast and veggies.


Beef stew is great in the slow cooker!
