You may notice more and more slow cooker, aka crockpot, dinners coming from me in the future. Main reason, the weather. It's so hot outside and I don't want to heat up the house anymore by using the oven. The crockpot is the solution.
In college I took a computer based cooking class. We used this wonderful software called MasterCook. I would recommend it to any chef, or just anybody who likes to cook. I have version 9.0. You can get it on Amazon for pretty cheap. There are over 4,000 recipes in it I believe. 30 different cookbooks. One of them is called No Hassle Crockpot Meals. I browsed through that last night and found some goods ones that I want to make. Look for them to come soon.
Last night I made Stuffed Cabbage Roll Casserole in the Crockpot. I found the recipe of MasterCook, but I didn't really follow the recipe. We didn't have enough regular cabbage, so I used Chinese Cabbage from the garden.
Browned off two pounds of beef,
added a quart of tomato sauce,
and a cup of freshly cooked rice,
Then I layered the cabbage with the meat sauce.
I was going to roll it like the recipe said, but because it wasn't regular cabbage so it wouldn't have worked. D'oh! Next time I will use regular cabbage and make real cabbage rolls.
I served it over some of the freshly cooked rice. Let's just say it tasted way better than it looked. Doesn't look so hot, but it was rather good.
