Cara did a beef dish last week in the crock pot that was pretty good. Cubed beef, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc. served over egg noodles. Pretty tasty!

Thanks, just put a pound of each in?

I pretty much never use my crockpot. I always use a Le Creuset. Crockpots don't brown meat. Crockpots don't sautee onions.

My view on crock pots hasn't changed. They're great for keeping something warm at a pot luck. Unless you're willing to brown meat and sautee onions first in a separate pan to add flavor, a 225F oven and a cast iron pot will always work better.

I had my Le Creuset out yesterday. Bouillabaisse.

Veal osso buco this past weekend! Mmmmm! PERFECT in a crock pot! Total fall off the bone tenderness and all the delicious goodness of the marrow in the bone after an afternoon in the crock pot!

Got some Guinness beef stew in the crockpot now ... and for Geoff I browned the beef in the pan first.

They are great fro skiing...Set iuf off in the AM and food is done when you come home... And the house smells good...

We discovered this last year - loved it! No more standing in the kitchen cooking while everyone else passed out on the sofas watching TV, waiting. With the crock pot, dinner was on the table by the time everyone stored their gear.
