Chicken Wings With BBQ Sauce for the Crockpot!

This Chicken Wings With BBQ Sauce for the Crockpot is a great recipe that makes the cook look like a pro!

 

Who doesn’t love chicken wings? Cooked in the crockpot – super easy! You can vary it by using different barbecue sauce types.

I think this recipe would adapt fine to drumsticks. Or even cut-up whole fryers.

The secret is the broiler time. That browning makes all the difference.

Slow Cooker Pizza – Easy, inexpensive and tasty

This Slow Cooker Pizza is an excellent recipe! Easy, inexpensive and tasty. I had no idea you could pull off pizza in a slow cooker! Made my life very easy today!

I kept it simple with just cheese, but next time I’ll definitely try some toppings.

The only catch: it’s a bit tricky to serve. Wait until it’s cooled off for at least 15 minutes before attempting to slice up.

    Slow Cooker Bread – Couldn’t Be Easier

    Hey, guess what? With this Couldn’t Be Easier Slow Cooker Bread Recipe you can bake bread in a slow cooker! And darn good bread, too.

    This recipe is awesome! Almost too easy. The bread rises nicely and doesn’t crumble when cut.

    It is wonderful toasted with butter. This method seems like a natural for Boston Brown Bread.

    Next time, I am considering replacing the honey with dark molasses and adding some raisins —

    I used a round Pyrex baking dish that I suspended above the water with a canning jar ring. Wonderful for sandwiches!

    Ingredients
    • Ingredients
    • 1 tablespoon yeast
    • 1/4 cup warm water
    • 1 cup warm skim milk or 1 cup buttermilk
    • 1/2 cup rolled oats
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 1 whole egg
    • 1/4 cup wheat germ
    • 2 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
    Instructions
    1. Directions
    2. Grease a deep metal or glass bowl or 1 lb coffee can (we use a glass 18 cm Pyrex soufflé dish); turn slow-cooker on high to preheat.
    3. Dissolve yeast in water; combine with milk, oats, salt, oil, honey, egg, and wheat germ.
    4. Add flour and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
    5. Turn dough immediately into bowl or can; cover LOOSELY with foil.
    6. In bottom of slow-cooker, place 1/2 cup of water and a trivet or some crumpled foil.
    7. Place can or bowl on this; cover and bake on High for 3 hours.
    8. Make sure to lightly cover the top of the bread with foil or parchment paper. Otherwise, the moisture that collects on the underside of the lid will drip onto the top of the bread and cause it to be soggy.
    9. Note: sides of bread brown and crisp beautifully, top will slightly brown and be soft to touch.
    10. Yield: 1 medium sized loaf of bread.

    Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes

    Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes is a great way to bake potatoes without heating up the kitchen. Really easy and they turn out so good!

     

    I like to rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt before wrapping in the foil.

    With this method, you can have baked potatoes ready when you come home.

    And very little cleanup. Use a crockpot liner and then just let the crock cool and put it away.

    4. Cooking time depends on how big your potatoes are. Use your best judgment. It doesn't hurt to cook them for the 4 hours.
    5. For large potatoes, I have cooked five to six on Low for 8 to 10 hours and they turn out perfectly.

    I served this at a gathering along side of celery sticks and it was gobbled up in minutes.
