TrueWhiteBoy Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm trying to think of some ideas for a decent entree for a potluck. Unfortunately all I have is a crockpot, so a hot pasta dish probably wouldn't turn out too well Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 BBQ pulled pork? -Take one pork shoulder (no bone and with as much fat trimmed as possible) -Throw it in a crockpot with your favorite bbq (or make your own) -Let it cook overnight -In the morning remove the pork from the pot and pull it apart with two forks -Put it back in for a few more hours so it really liquefies -Serve on bulkie rolls with cheese The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hmmm, that sounds pretty doable and fairly cheap, cool. I'm most likely going to go with this, but I'm curious to see if anyone else has any suggestions for future reference What's a good cheese to go with it?

Underdog Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Personally I like Bergenost for cheese with bbq pork, but plain old American sliced cheese works great too. Chilli is another crockpot classic. Almost any chilli recipe will work in the crockpot. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce. I top my sandwiches with coleslaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxx Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Potluck is fun but alot of times you end up with a ton of chili "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama! I'm the president...of hittin' the ass!" -this is not a political view it's merely a quote from a hilarious tv show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuskiTrombone Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I work at an IT firm with lots of guys from India so most of our food is either vegetarian or curry. This recipe always goes over real well... 1. Buy about 10 (don't know how much you want to bring) or so plum tomatoes, the longer the better. Wash, cut out the end green piece, cut in half and scoop out the insides into a separate bowl. Use that to make some tomato sauce for your next meal or something. 2. Buy a stick of Swiss cheese, grate it finely into a bowl. 3. Hardboil about half a dozen to a dozen eggs. Crush them with all your might. You should have 50/50 proportion of eggs to cheese. Mix it together. Add tablespoon of salt, little bit of pepper, couple links of garlic and a couple tablespoons of real mayo. Mix it all well. 4. Stick the mixing inside the tomatoes. Garnish the top with some parsley and little bit of paprika. It's cheap and doesn't take long at all. It's a Russian dish that should surprise some coworkers. Enjoy.

Abandonhope16 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Serves about 8 as a main entree; wife's favorite crock recipe: 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 2 tablespoons butter 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup 1 onion, finely diced 2 (10 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces Place the chicken, butter, soup, and onion in a slow cooker, and fill with enough water to cover. Cover, and cook for 6 hours on low. About 30 minutes before serving, place the torn biscuit dough in the slow cooker. Cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center.

Underdog Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 What bbq did you use? My first time making this recipe I tried making a honey bourbon bbq sauce for it and it came out so good I make it in quart-sized batches now (the sauce that is).

I picked up 6 lbs of pork shoulder Stater Brothers had 2 containers of bbq sauce for $3 so I picked up a Spicy and a Sweet & Sticky I used most of both when cooking it originally, and then after pulling the meat I added the rest of it and mixed it.

ShrinerMonkey Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I am a fan of Calico Beans made in the crock pot for potlucks. One of my favorite dishes as a kid and still is but with my high cholesterol is not on the menu very often anymore. http://southernfood.about.com/od/crockpotbeans/r/bl26c10.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
