    Crock pot recipe sharing

    I'm just discovering my crock pot really, but I have 2 favorite recipes already.[p] Pot roast: big hunk of well trimmed meat, browned, with about a 1/4 bottle of red wine. Cook some chopped onions with about 1 tbsp butter and 3 tbsp flour -cook around 3 mins and add to pot (this will thicken the sauce). Add some carrots, mushrooms, and/or celery. Add about 5 cloves of crushed or minced garlic, 2 tsp salt, 2 tsp rosemary and/or thyme, 1/2 tsp ground cloves, and black pepper. Cook about 4-5 hours on high, can go 8-10 on low. Yum!![/p][p]Lamb stew: lamb shoulder or other tough meat, carrots (I like the peeled baby ones), lots of onions cooked with flour, half a can of beer, and 2 tsp each salt,pepper and thyme. Garnish with parsley. So tasty! The lamb can be fatty, so skimming fat off the top usually helps. [/p]
