Does anyone here enjoy cooking in a crockpot? I used my crockpot more when I was a working mom with little time to cook but wanted good meals for my family. Roast beef is probably the most popular crockpot meal in the south....simply place the roast and veggies in the CP, turn it on LOW....go to work and 8 hours later you have a scrumptious meal waiting when you arrive home from work.

Another ROAST BEEF recipe for the crockpot was given to me by an online friend awhile back:

Place the roast in the crockpot; pour a jar of pepperocini peppers and juices over the top. Cook on LOW for 8 hours....then shred the meat and peppers and serve on toasted hamburger or submarine sandwich buns. It's delicious! We have ours with KC Masterpiece barbeque sauce.

Love Crock Pot Cooking! Nothing like some butter beans slow cooked with a couple of ham hocks! Or, green beans with the same or beacon...my aunt actuallys adds lard (or beacon grease) for more flavoring. Beans to die for! But the beacon grease can be dangerous for the heart...Not bad at holidays, though. Thanks for all the great tips! <img src="/images/graemlins/heart.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, I know bacon drippings are not heart healthy, but I do use them in beans and a few other dishes. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

You just can't beat the flavor.
