It's crock pot season! Here in cow country, there's all kind of funky receipes for Crock Pots. I went to a pot luck party in Lexington, MO a few years ago and one of our friends brought what she called "Cowboy Beans." This is the recipe. You can do this in the oven at low heat -275 degrees- or in a crock pot for several hours. I like the crock pot. If you don't like bacon you can use Chorizo Sausage. Instead of pork & beans I use Bush's baked beans. Instead of catsup I just add more BBQ sauce. I like Original KC Masterpiece (not the cheap Clorox stuff, but original recipe) and use a little more black molasses instead of brown sugar. Or you can use sorghum. I like black beans and butter beans in the bean mix. You can serve this up like Chili. It's super good! How bout you? Whatcha got?

I like it as a dip with ruffles. Just a total different kind of beans than most peeps serve. And another reason I am fat. [Reply]
It's going to be a damp, yucky day with rain and dropping temps. Mrs B is going to go visit her sister in Kansas, so I'm going to stay home with the kitties and do laundry and putter. Making Cowboy Beans in the crock pot. I'm using a recipe that's a hybrid between two recipes I've received from friends. So in the crock pot, here's what I'm doing: 1 lb ground chuck, 1 lb thick cut bacon with strips cut into thirds, 1 sweet onion. 1 can ea black beans and chili beans. 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can small whole white potatoes. Spices: 3/4 cup Gates BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup black sorghum, kosher salt, pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, dry mustard. I like to bake bacon in the oven at 350. It takes longer but turns out perfect. When the bacon is done, set it aside on a paper towel to dry. Put the bacon grease into a frying pan, and sautee the chopped onion (just ground it up in a food processor); Once the onions have cooked down in the bacon grease, put in the ground chuck and brown it up. Once thoroughly browned, drain off the fat and put in into the crock pot with all the other ingredients. Cook on low for 5 or 6 hours. I'll let you know how it turns out. It sure smells good! [Reply]
Made chicken tacos in the crockpot for the first time. So easy.
1. 2 fresh chicken breasts
2. 1 pint of salsa ( I used homemade, year old batch)
3. Generous serving of bulk taco seasoning (probably 2 packages of taco season).
Slow cooker for 7 to 8 hours. Shred. Pile together with your favorite taco ingredients. Enjoy! [Reply]
