Any ideas out there for things to cook in a crock pot? My husband recently bought one for his truck and he put a little pork loin roast in with tiny baby potatoes and a bunch of those baby carrots along with half a jar of picante sauce. He said it just about drove him crazy all the way from Amarillo to his next destination it smelled so good and was so tender and delicious! He just might write a trucker's cookbook!Watch the calories though, the potatoes don't need butter they are so good as is.

Here's a thread to check out!

Yea, I guess just about anything would work. Those bags that line the crockpot sound like a great idea! Then he would just have to toss the bag when he's done. Gotta go get some! He can pick them up on the road at a Walmart too.

Anything, vegetables, legumes, beans (I'm vegetarian)... anything that will cook slowly and it cooks while you drive. It's very good for cooking soups. I had three of them, those were 12 volt crock pots that plug into cigarett lighter in the truck. Problem was their plugs burnt out in a couple of months... I bought those at Pilot. Not sure if problem was with the outlets in the truck or with the crock pots... I gave up on them...

Possum, the other white meat. Sorry seem to see them alot lately on the side of the road.
Aamcotrans, scottied67 and PurpleKW Thank this. -
I've had Possum. It is rather tasty done correctly. I prefer chicken though. Thanks for the ideas.
scottied67 Thanks this. -
"Possum... the other white meat!!!" BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Dang, the pork industry might have something to say about that... although I've seen recipes for "Possum Stew" over in "The Hillbilly" (WV). If I'm gonna cook one of those varmints, I'd rather do it on a BBQ so the fur and tail get burned off...
Whaddy'all use for sauce with those critters??? Bullseye??? Sweet Baby Ray??? Rotella T??? Lucas??? WD-40??? I'm serious here... if I'm gonna cook one of those things, I wanna be sure to do it right!!! In fact, I'd like to see a recipe for "Deliverance Redneck Possum"---that way I know I'm not wasting my time on anything other than "haute cuisine!!!" 10-DASH-4???
P.S. for Sammycat: "Skip the filet mignon tonight, darlin'... we're having POSSUM!!!" BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!scottied67 Thanks this. -
there is a small store near me roughly 7 miles, that re-labels cans of potted meat, they leave the original on, but they make their own label for "potted possum" & put that over it.
they use several brand names I guess they buy which ever is cheaper.
one company complained about them re-labeling, but was told it was legal, since it was a "gag" & the original correct label was underneath
they sell "potted possum" for 2 times the price of potted meat, which is still higher than most places sell it for, but if any competitors have it on sale they buy it from them.
they have been selling it at least since I was a kid, & thats probably 30 years or so. I would walk to that store from my grandparents house which was in sight of it to get a can of it & eat it to freak my friends out.

as for the cut of meat if anyones interested, holler back & I will take pics of some chuck roasts that have eye in them, & show a little how to tell. I have been a meat cutter for 15 years, only did this to learn, because I was sick of being lied to by butchers, & wanted to know what I was looking at, & to always be able to eat good cuts, & fresh product, & I sorta got stuck, & now I am sick of it, hench me being here.
Randytexasbbqbest, scottied67, Lady K and 1 other person Thank this.
