A beef stew recipe may be commonly found in any household menu and each family surely has its own version. The secret, however, does not only lie on the uniqueness and freshness of the ingredients but on what method of cooking is used. More than pressure cooking, slow cooking is considered one of the best way to prepare a beef stew recipe. The advantage in slow cooking is that, one has the liberty of choosing what cut or part of beef to use. It does not matter if the tough part will be used since slow cooking will definitely tenderize it.

The ingredients for beef stew include: one pound of beef flank or beef shank, cut into about one inch-cubes; four pieces of medium potatoes, quartered; four pieces of medium carrots, cubed; two pieces of turnips, cubed; one piece of medium white onion, quartered; one half cup of sliced celery; one and a half cup of boiling beef stock or boiling water; two cups of canned stewed tomatoes with juice; one teaspoon of tapioca; one teaspoon of brown sugar; two tablespoons of soy sauce; one fourth cup of cooking oil; one cup of all purpose flour or more; one teaspoon of whole peppercorns; and salt and pepper to taste.

The first step is to lightly season the beef cubes with salt and pepper, then coat with the all purpose flour. Fry the beef cubes in cooking oil for about seven to ten minutes, just enough to brown them. Turn off the fire and put the meat on paper towels to remove excess oil. Place the browned beef inside the slow cooker and add the remaining ingredients. Cover the slow cooker and set on high for five minutes. Adjust the temperature setting to low and cook for nine to ten hours. The stew may be stirred during the last five minutes of cooking. Adjust the taste by adding in more salt and pepper. The sauce will be thick at this point due to the reduction of the fluid and the presence of the tapioca and flour that was used to coat the beef before frying.

This recipe will serve four to five persons and may easily be doubled. The beef will be fork tender and is best served over rice or with mashed potatoes.

Remember to check the specifics of the slow cooker that is to be used. There are a variety of models that are available in the market today and depending on the capacity of the cooker, a few modifications may be needed to ensure safe and tasty cooking. Just remember that when slow cooking, patience is surely a virtue.

Slowly but surely, or in the case of crock pot meals, easy. Thanks to the maker of the crock pot, we can enjoy the benefit of taste bud-satisfying meals. We can now say goodbye to the hassle of getting stuck in the kitchen, stirring soup with ladles, adjusting heat, standing in front of the oven watching and waiting until it simmers and boils or go running back and forth switching from the pot holder to the vacuum cleaner keeping track of how the meat was cooking because the last thing you need after a time-consuming recipe is your children belching out on your burnt stew.

Crock pot really comes handy not only for super moms with double jobs, 3 school-age kids and husband with a hearty appetite, or young professionals with very active lives which considers working out in a gym and partying as basic necessities, but also to those individuals who are not much of kitchen persons but definitely love eating real foods. When we say real food, we meant a meal that actually passed through the process of cooking, and not just something edible that you got from opening a can or those microwavables God knows what they are. Let us share with you a simple, easy, meal recipe that will go best with a crock pot and an on-the-go lifestyle.

Chicken or pork, is the main ingredient here. Whether drumstick, thighs, wings or breast, pork chops or slices, it is your preference. Of course, the quantity also depends on how many hungry stomachs you will be feeding the meal with.

When everything about the meat is settled now, think about what vegetable mix you would like to go with it. You could either get those sold in cans, frozen or fresh. If getting fresh, make sure to cut them in ample sizes for better results. Mushroom, broccoli, green peas or beans, anything of your favorite choice will do.

Now for the flavor, there is a wide variety of sauce you can choose from. My favorite is the cream of mushroom sauce but you can also use cream of asparagus with corn and the likes. Again, the amount of sauce you will be needing depends on the amount of meat and vegetables your using. Three pieces of medium-sized pork chops are proportional enough to a large can of cream.

When all the ingredients are ready, you can now get the crack pot and put them all in placing the vegetables first to go to the bottom followed by the meat and then the cream.

To the now empty can of sauce, put a very small amount of water and pour inside the crock pot. Be very careful with the volume of water your adding because it should be kept in mind that lid-covered slow cooking as in crock pots will retain water because it does not evaporate as much compared to cooking on higher temperatures. Lastly, a sprinkle of salt and pepper can be added to season it. Cover the crock pot and close the lid.

You can now jog, read a book or sweat yourself at work and let your meal cook for 3 to 4 hours on high setting or 6 to 8 hours on low setting. One of the advantages of crock pot is that it prevents unsatisfactory meals even when left cooking longer than the necessary time.

You see, this meal is so easy as ABC, it could make a newbie crock pot user cook like a pro. As a matter of fact, it is even easier doing it on actual than reading the steps how to get the meal done. We just came to realize how easy crock pot meals gave a different angle to the cliche, “it’s worth the wait.” The funny yet good thing, you do not even have to literally wait.

A sloppy Joe is ground beef cooked with a spicy tomato sauce in a hamburger bun sandwich. It’s an American favorite and kids love it because it can be really messy to eat. While it’s perfectly fine to use just ground beef to make sloppy Joe, this slow cooker recipe also calls for ground pork sausage. This simple addition makes a more flavorful filling to the classic sandwich.

The following ingredients make 8-10 servings and will fit in a 4 1/2-quart slow cooker:

1/2 kilo of lean ground beef (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 pound of pork sausage, in bulk
1 chopped bell pepper
1 chopped onion
1 cup of tomato sauce (8-oz. can)
1/2 cup of chili sauce (comes in a bottle, prepared)
1 Tbsp. sugar (use brown, if it is available)
A dash of salt and pepper

Start off this slow cooker, sloppy Joe recipe by sautéing the chopped onion and bell pepper for five minutes then add in the ground beef and sausage meat. Keep stirring and breaking up the meats as you go to prevent lumps. It will take about 10 minutes until the meats have browned and when that is done, dump the sautéed ingredients in a colander to drain the excess oil off.

When most of the oil has dripped off, put the sauté in the slow cooker. Add the rest of the ingredients (tomato sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar, salt and pepper) in as well. Stir it for a bit and put the slow cooker cover on. Set the slow cooker on “high” and cook the sloppy Joe for four hours. It can also be done in 8-10 hours if you put it on “low” depending on when you want it to finish cooking.

If you want your sloppy Joe to be spicier, dash in a few drops of hot sauce after it is done. If you want it sweeter, you can also put in an extra tablespoon of brown sugar in the preparation.

Toast your hamburger buns for a bit and serve this American classic with a side of fries and cold coleslaw. What’s great about this is you can set the slow cooker on the counter and every one can help themselves and make their own sloppy Joe. For a party, it can be a dip for tortilla chips too. Don’t forget to get plenty of paper towels out because this saucy sloppy Joe is messy and as it is yummy!
