Slow Cooker Crock Pot

What we are about to discuss are slow cooker recipes for different types of foods. In this regard, we would want to start by mentioning a slow cooker recipe for an appetizer.

The name of this slow cooker recipe is Sandy’s Crockpot Fondue. To prepare this recipe, you need a 10 ½-ounce can of Cheddar cheese soup, a pound of Velveeta process cheese that is cut in cubes, sixteen ounces of shredded Swiss cheese, a twelve-ounce can of beer, ½ teaspoon of hot pepper sauce, and two drops of liquid smoke flavoring. In the event that you do not want to use beer or there is no beer available, you may use 1 ½ cups of apple cider as substitute.

All the ingredients mentioned must be placed in the crock pot and must be mixed well. Cover the crock pot and allow the ingredients to cook for a couple of hours on low position. After an hour, stir the contents of the crock pot and wait for the last hour to pass. Do not forget to whisk it to blend before serving. Some like to serve this with vegetables for dipping while some like this to be served with bread sticks.

The crock pot is also ideal for preparing desserts. And this time, we would want to talk about a slow cooker recipe for dessert.

The name of this slow cooker recipe is Citrus Prune Dessert. To prepare this slow cooker recipe, you need two cups of prunes that are pitted and dried, water where the prunes will be soaked overnight, 2/3 cup of boiling water, ½ cup of sugar, strips of peel from ½ orange or ½ lemon, ¼ cup of chopped walnuts or ¼ cup of chopped almonds, and whipped topping or whipped cream.

In order to plump the prunes, they must be soaked overnight. In the morning, take the prunes out of the water and place them in the crock pot. Add the citrus strips, sugar, and boiling water in the crock pot too. On high position, let the ingredients be cooked for three hours inside the crock pot. Afterwards, the citrus peel must be removed and discarded. The prunes must now be placed in serving dishes. These must be chilled before serving them with either walnuts or almonds and whipped topping or whipped cream.

We decided to share slow cooker recipes for dessert and for appetizer because we are sure that you already know at least one slow cooker recipe for heavy meals. Furthermore, we would want people to be aware that even appetizers and desserts can be prepared using the crock pot.

Making ham in a slow cooker requires very little culinary knowledge or experience on your part. The fact that there are scores of ways you can serve the dish goes to show how easy people find it to cook. You too, will find that out once you give these recipes a try.

Cheese Soufflé Casserole with Ham

One of the best –and most delicious- ways you can learn how to serve ham in a slow cooker is by making this simple casserole. All you need are eggs (4 of them), cheese (8 ounces, any type will do), bread (8 slices, without crust and preferably cut into quarters), a cup of ham (chopped), a cup of milk, salt (1/4 teaspoon), fresh parsley (a tablespoon), and some paprika.

The first step is to add some grease to the crock pot. Now put in the bread and cheese, and then set in the ham in the slow cooker (add as many layers as you like). Now after beating the eggs, add some of the parsley, milk and salt into it. Take this mixture and sprinkle over the cheese and slice bread. Spray as much paprika as needed.

To cook, set the crock pot to high for half an hour, then set to low and cook for 3 more hours. Remove the ham in the slow cooker (as well as the cheese and bread), and, you’re now ready to serve.

Glazed Ham with Mustard

To create this recipe, cooked ham is required (5 lbs), a dozen cloves of onion, a tablespoon of mustard, half a cup of sugar (brown), orange juice (2 tablespoons), lemon juice (also 2 tablespoons), and a couple of tablespoons of cornstarch.

Before you put the ham in the slow cooker, slice it into a diamond like shape, and fill with the cloves of onion. Now add the brown sugar, lemon juice and spread over the ham. Turn the crock pot on to high for about an hour. After 60 minutes, reduce the setting to low and let it cook for 10 hours.

Finally, take away the ham in the slow cooker and place it on a pan (don’t let it get cold). Reset the crock pot to high, and add the orange juice and also the cornstarch. Stir it for another 15 minutes or until it gets thick. Glaze this syrup over the ham.

That’s basically all there is to cooking ham in a slow cooker. Yes, there are different ways to prepare them, but with these two recipes under your belt, the others will be even easier to create.
