I had no idea y'all would respond with such enthusiasm to slow cooker recipes (or to the idea of a layered meal). I guess I should have known since you're all so frugal, fabulous, and fun! :o) I use my slow cooker often. It's one of my favorite kitchen gadgets. This post is the first in a series of slow cooker recipes. If you have any slow cooker recipes you'd like to share, send them to mamabee@onefabulousmama.com!
I started making this layered dinner when we were just married. I had a 6 quart crock pot, far too big for only two people. I was putting a poor quality cut of steak into slow cook one morning and there was all this space leftover. I thought I'd try putting in the potatoes (I was using sweet potatoes.) and corn too. It was such a flavorful meal and so well cooked. My husband couldn't believe we walked in the door to it that night. I liked it because it wasn't just a soup or stew in the slow cooker and this led me to try lots of other meals too. I'll be posting more about that later in this series.
Now, I have a crock pot that has three interchangeable crocks in 2, 4, and 6 quarts. If I'm making this meal sans the corn, I use the 4 quart crock. If you're a smaller family, just adjust the amount of food and use a smaller crock.
Peace, B.
ps
I have a recipe coming for a whole chicken using this method!
