Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef

Melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The absolutely perfect, easy dish for a cold winter day. The sauce is not too thick, not too thin, with a little sweet and a little heat. The beef is incredibly tender. This slow cooker Mongolian beef was a big hit here, and is definitely going to end up on our dinner menu on a very regular basis.

Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef

Tender Sweet Heat

I added a bit of dried red pepper flake to offset the sweetness of the brown sugar and carrots in this slow cooker Mongolian beef. You can leave it out, of course, or substitute your favorite hot pepper, chopped. The dish is going to be great either way, that’s for sure!

Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast

I’ve made my share of pot roasts. In the oven. In a crockpot. Heck, I’ve even smoked a pot roast (and boy, was it ever heavenly). There’s a 3-way tie on my list of my favorite things to make during the fall and winter: chili, gumbo, and pot roast. And when it comes to an easy-to-make pot roast, this slow cooker Mississippi pot roast is the king. Welcome to nothing but great flavors, tender beef and a sauce that screams ‘give me some mashed potatoes’!

Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast

Slow Cooker Perfection

Six ingredients and eight hours and you’ll be enjoying an absolutely flavor-packed fall-apart roast. Do not be tempted to add beef broth or any other liquid to this slow cooker Mississippi pot roast. It will make its own gravy just fine by itself. Add everything to the crockpot and go away. Leave it be. It knows what it’s doing.

We had this roast over mashed cauliflower. Yes, cauliflower.

Slow Cooker Balsamic Pork Sliders

Pulled pork is a popular dish around our house. Normally I make it on the smoker, low and slow. It may take most of the day (or night) but it is well worth the time. Specially when the end result are some slow cooker balsamic pork sliders. These little morsels of goodness disappear in no time. They’re like eating popcorn.

Now, I don’t believe in a grilling or smoking ‘season’, but the other day it was flat out cold and windy here and there was no way I was going to babysit the smoker. Call me wimpy. So, it was time for Plan B. And Plan B was good. Very good.

Slow Cooker Balsamic Pork Sliders

It’s All About The Sauce!

This slow cooked tender balsamic pork has tremendous flavor. It’s sweet. It’s savory. The sauce is so delicious. And the Asian slaw? Fantastic. I was scared (really) of using fish sauce. I mean that stuff has an ‘aroma’. But it was great. I’m not afraid of it at all any more. It adds an amazing and new (to me) flavor that is quite intriguing.

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Oh my goodness. I made a batch of these slow cooker Buffalo chicken sliders and watched them disappear lickity-split. All of my favorite flavors in a single bite: chickeny Buffalo wing sauce, Ranch dressing, and cheese. This might just be the most perfect recipe for a crowd. It can’t get any easier, just toss all of the ingredients for the filling into the slow cooker and a few hours later, you’ve got crazy good sliders.

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Feed A Crowd. Quickly.

I think you could make a little ‘slider bar’ for these slow cooker Buffalo chicken sliders. Let folks choose from blue cheese, gorgonzola, jalapenos, chopped celery, carrots, cilantro… you name it! Oh, and extra Ranch dressing too for those that are Ranch-aholics like myself. Half the time I think I make Buffalo-flavored dishes just so I have an excuse to have more Ranch dressing in my life.

Go Mild. Or Hot.

You can use a mild Buffalo sauce if you’re worried about too much heat. You can always serve a hotter sauce on the side for dipping the sandwiches. Just get a good grip on the slider buns first. You don’t want the yummy chicken sliding off into the sauce.

  • Brown buns if desired.
  • Top buns with meat and cheese and place under broiler for just enough time to lightly melt the cheese.
  • Drizzle with a little salad dressing and serve.

Notes

I also added a teaspoon or so of the sauce from the slow cooker to the sandwiches.

Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce

I was searching for a new tomato-based sauce that I could use on (whole or ground) Italian sausage sandwiches. It was a cold day, so I wanted something that would cook all day, making the house smell great. I like that. Eight or so hours of great smells, culminating in a fantastic sandwich topped with slow cooker marinara sauce. That’s a great way to beat the weather.

Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce

The Perfect Sauce For Anything

This slow cooker marinara sauce is a great all-around marinara sauce. Double the recipe and keep some in the freezer. It’s great to have on hand for those nights when you need a simple meal. Great on pasta, sandwiches, pizza, you name it.

Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwich

I can now throw away the old recipe I had for making slow cooker French dip sandwiches. You know the one. Beef, French onion soup, beef broth and beer and that’s it. I thought that was pretty good in fact. But there’s better and this is it. This version takes that concept to new places. The combination of soy sauce, red wine vinegar and spices really gives these sandwiches a rich fantastic flavor. It is totally unlike the flavor of any dip sandwich I’d had or made before. Of course the meat is fall apart tender, but it’s tasty through-and-through. And the dipping sauce? Straw-worthy.

Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwich

Save The Bun! Save The Bun!

I put fresh mozzarella slices on the bottom slices of bread before piling them high with the moist meat when I made this slow cooker French dip sandwich. The cheese helps keep the bread from getting too soggy. That may seem odd since you’re going to end up dipping the sandwich anyways. But you don’t want the entire thing to just fall apart. The cheese helps prevent that.

My rule with a messy sandwich has always been: once you pick it up, don’t set it down. Then you won’t have any ‘problems’. And remember, the ‘messier the better’ rule applies here. So pile it high and dunk it deep!

Slow-Cooker Shredded Mexican Beef

Wow. Just wow. I admit, I usually make quick tacos when I’m making tacos. Ya know the kind. Brown some ground beef with taco seasoning. Add some taco sauce. Boom. Done. And good. Well, that version is good. But this slow-cooker shredded Mexican beef is better.

Sure it takes a day to make the beef, but man is it ever worth it. The meat comes out unbelievably flavorful and tender and juice. It has a bit of a kick, but not so much that your I-don’t-like-heat friends won’t like it. There’s nothing it isn’t good on, from tacos to nachos to quesadillas to burritos to whatever.

Add Some Spicy Sauce

If you’re looking for a great spicy sauce to top your nachos (or tacos) with, try our Southwestern sauce. It really goes well with this slow-cooker shredded Mexican beef. Taco sauce is a great topper too. Or even just ‘plain old’ sour cream.

Slow Cooker Roasted Garlic

Sure, I normally roast my garlic in the oven or on the grill, but I found this technique which uses a slow cooker to be completely fool-proof, and it has the added benefit of making the house smell wonderful all day long.

Slow Cooker Dulce de Leche

It’s not as good as you think. It’s even better. This slow cooker dulce de leche is creamy, sweet, and oh so tasty. I started a batch first thing in the morning. By the time dinner was done that evening, I was enjoying a nice bowl of ice cream. Drizzled with this amazing caramel sauce, it was fantastic. Creamy. Sweet. So much richer than just caramel. It sorta reminds me of toffee, too. Or maybe even butterscotch. And oh, did the house ever have a fantastic aroma! It actually reminded me of having a caramel candle burning.

Storing The Results

Slow cooker dulce de leche sauce will keep in the fridge for up to 4 weeks, but you won’t have to worry about it being around that long.
