Two Delicious and Easy Slow Cooker Recipes

[janepain]

Ok - you ready for a couple great, easy recipes with only a few ingredients? These are both for the crock pot/slow cooker.

Ham and Cola

1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark) (lightly packed)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 cup cola flavored soda
3 - 4 pound pre-cooked ham

Combine brown sugar and mustard. Moisten with enough cola to a make a paste - reserve remaining cola.

Rub entire ham with mixture.

Place ham in slow cooker and add remaining cola.

Cover. Cook on Low 6 -10 hours, or High 2 -3 hours.


Turkey Breast

4 - 6 pound boneless, skinless turkey breast
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 envelope dry onion soup mix

Place thawed turkey in slow cooker. Sprinkle garlic powder and onion soup mix over breast.

Cover. Cook on Low 8 - 10 hours.

(I found a boneless turkey breast at the local SAM's Club, but it wasn't skinless - still worked pretty darn good)

That turkey sounds really good! I bet it's a lot moister than the oven roasted version.

Thanks for posting these; I've really got to try that turkey, just as soon as the weather breaks!

Mary Ann, the beauty of crock pot is that you can cook a nice meal without heating up the house!

Yeah, but when it's as hot as it's been lately, gimme a nice shrimp salad, not anything hot!

[Chrisnstar]

me too, but I'm stuck making hot dinners for a meat and potatoes kind of guy. I made a nice grilled chicken salad and got a "what's this" remark...
