2014-10-18 Thread Charles Rivard via Cookinginthedark

Wow.  Your message runs on and on, nonstop, due to a lack of punctuation.

I paste my recipe below, but be warned!  This! stuff! is! hot!!  Note that I 
lived most of my life in Arizona, where spicy foods, as well as hot foods, 
are king.  So, when I say that this is hot, I'm not kidding!  Hey, Dale: 
Give this a try.  You'll love it!  Here it is:


Charles Rivard's very hot crock pot chili


This will almost fill a 5 quart crock pot.

ingredients:

2 pounds of very lean hamburger, or meat of your choice.  (I use venison 
burger)


2 16-ounce cans of Wolf brand chili, with no beans, marked hot

2 cans of RoTell tomatoes, marked hot

2 envelopes of Great Value chili seasoning, marked hot

1 teaspoon of each of the following:
black pepper
red pepper
garlic powder
cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon of Spontaneous Combustion hot sauce  WARNING!!!  This is an 
extremely hot blend of Habinero extract and other spices!  Be VERY careful 
when using it!!



Method:

1.  Brown the meat

2.  Pour 1 can of chili into the crock pot.

3.  Add 1 can of the tomatoes.  Do not drain.

4.  Add half of the meat, crumbled or left in chunks.

5.  Add the dry ingredients and the Spontaneous Combustion.

6.  Repeat steps 2 through 5, in sequence.

10.  Mix very thoroughly.

11.  Cook on low for 8 hours.
Note:  If you wish, you can also cook this in the oven at a temperature of 
250 for about 2 hours, but I find that I like it in the crock pot better.

Be positive!  When it comes to being defeated, if you think you're finished, 
you! really! are! finished!

[CnD] skimming fat

2014-10-18 Thread Nancy Martin via Cookinginthedark

Hi everyone,
As I write this, my crockpot cooks pork steaks. I'm considering thickening 
the sauce into gravy. Usually I don't keep the sauce because what I've read 
about how to skim the fat seemed too complicated. I'd like some tips about 
how to skim fat from the sauce. Is it as simple as letting it cool and the 
hardened fat will be on top, ready for skimming?

Thank you,
Nancy Martin

Re: [CnD] skimming fat

2014-10-18 Thread Will Henderson via Cookinginthedark
I've been wondering about this as well, as when I've tried to do a pork
roast in the slow cooker, people have said it has fat and that it needed to
be skimmed, so they end up doing it for me.
How do we go about doing this?

[CnD] meatloaf

2014-10-18 Thread RJ via Cookinginthedark
Some one asked for a meatloaf recipe on this list or another, so you are 
both getting it.

2 1/2 pound ground meat
1 small onion diced fine
1 egg slightly beaten

1 c bread crumbs
2 Thbls brown sugar
1 tbls Worchester sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 can cream soup . I use celery but any will do

Mix all above well.
form a loaf by hand or do as I do and roll the meat in a piece of foil into 
a loaf. Not necessary, but it is some thing I do.

Take the other half can of cream soup and add
2 tbls of brown sugar
1 tbls Worchester sauce
1 or more tsp of prepared mustard
Mix well and pour over meatloaf.
You can cook this in the oven at 375 for 1 1/4 hours or cook it is the 
crockpot for 4 hours on high or 8 to 8 1/2 hours on low. Temp should reach 
175 to 190 F with a meat thermometer. If planning sandwiches out of the 
loaf, I will seek the higher temp.
If cooking in crockpot, why not lay a couple sweet potatoes on top. The will 
be done when the loaf is. And they usually taste better than baking in the 
oven.

RJ

P. S.
If baking in the crockpot, if you take two pieces of foil and cross them in 
the crock, Leaving the foil long enough, you can use the foil to lift the 
loaf from the crock.

Re: [CnD] skimming fat

2014-10-18 Thread Regina Marie via Cookinginthedark
I agree totally. I have tried numerous other methods and none are as
effective. If you have to hurry, You can place food in the freezer and check
every hour  to see if it has cooled. Usually should not take long. maybe 1
hour or so fot the food to get the fat on the top depending on your freexer.
Caution: do not forget about it and freeze your food.

The easiest way is RJ's way -- cook it the day before and stick it in the
fridge. The fat will turn solid on top of the liquid, and you can just scoop
it out with a spoon or pull it out with clean fingers. It's one of the
common ways sighted people deal with this too.

Re: [CnD] skimming fat

2014-10-18 Thread Abby Vincent via Cookinginthedark
Even when your dish is warm, the fat rises to the top.  You can take a flat
spoon and slide it across the top of the dish you're making.  I don't know
of a way to tell when the contents of the spoon contains liquid but little
or no fat except by tasting what's in the spoon. Letting it cool and
removing the solid fat is the most efficient way.  It does mean you have to
allow more time to make the dish.
