But I kinda modified it for a crockpot, because the original recipe called for baking it in the oven...which I thought would dry it out too much. Basically, I took a small brisket (I used a 2-3lb piece of meat, since I'm only feeding 2 people) and rubbed Emeril Essence (you can find this in the spice department at the grocery store) all over it. I wrapped it up tightly in saran wrap and put it in the fridge overnight. The next morning, I prepared the crockpot - put in roughly equal parts of beef stock and your favorite bbq sauce mixed together...I used enough to cover the meat. I had to cut the brisket into a few smaller chunks because my crockpot is small. Place the meat into the stock/bbq sauce, and cook on low for 8 hours. When it's done, I sliced it against the grain...actually, the meat was so tender...it basically fell apart as I was cutting it! Then I used some of the stock/bbq mixture to make more sauce on the side. I spooned out a few ladels of the mix into a saucepan, and added more bbq sauce to it...heat it on low until warm enough. That's pretty much it. I served it on buns, but it was mighty tasty on its own too. Had enough leftovers for 2 more days. Definitely need to find the rib and brisket recipes...mmm bbq I made this last night. It was really tasty!!! Hey, that's great! I'm glad you liked it. |

Extreme Veteran 483 Austin, TX | Subject: RE: HELP! I just got a crock pot This is one of my favorite Mexican meals, and I'm definitely not alone. This is one of my standard dishes I make when we have guests over, and it's always a big hit. I usually end up writing out at least two recipe cards whenever I make it for others. Hope you enjoy it!! - - - - - Spread the potatoes over the bottom of a slow-cooker and top with the pork cubes. In a large bowl mix the undrained tomatoes with the chipotles and the tablespoon of adobo sauce, Worcestershire, oregano, garlic, onion and 11/2 teaspoons salt. Pour the mixture over the meat and potatoes. Cover and slow-cook on high for 6 hours; the dish can hold on the slow-cooker's "keep-warm" function for 4 more hours or so. When ready to serve, uncover the pork tinga and spoon off the fat accumulated on top. Fry the optional chorizo in an 8-inch skillet until thoroughly cooked, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle on the chorizo over the tinga then stir, breaking the pork into smaller pieces. Taste and season with added salt if needed. |

Master 1843 Roswell, GA | Subject: RE: HELP! I just got a crock pot Skippy74 - 2008-12-10 2:17 PM OK since we're doing BBQ---I got a pretty good one from Food Network for pulled pork in the crock pot---I was very pleased with how easy/good/tender it was the first time I made it (it was a huge hit for father-in-law's birthday...). I've doubled the recipe and it worked just fine--- 1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, sliced 3 pounds pork butt, rinsed and patted dry Salt and pepper 1 cup barbeque sauce (use your favorite...) 1/2 cup yellow mustard 3 tablespoons tomato paste 1 cup chicken broth 1 lime, juiced hamburger buns, for serving Place onions in the bottom of a 5-quart slow cooker. Season pork butt with salt and pepper. Place in slow cooker on top of onions, fat side up. In a medium bowl, stir together barbeque sauce, mustard, tomato paste, chicken broth and lime juice. Pour over pork. Cover and cook on LOW setting for 6 to 8 hours. Remove pork and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Use forks to pull apart the pork for serving. I made this on Sunday this past weekend and it was awesome! My 15 yo son basically only eats meat and he devoured it! Wouldn't even use a napkin between bite (lovely). |
