in need of crock pot or pressure cooker recipes

[maven]

Hi! I'm a new mom of twins & we are needing some yummy & easy recipes for my crock pot or my new electric pressure cooker.

I have made pot roast & beef stew. DH is sick of those.. any other ideas? or websites that have good recipes for either of those cookers?

Love my PC!!

I make Pepper Steak in my PC more often than any other meal. Any top-round recipe works...

This is an ancient one from my grandmother's church cookbook. I modified it for PC. 1 lb. top round beef. Slice it, brown it in the pc, add beef broth, garlic, extra herbs if you like, pressure it for about 15-20 minutes, release the pressure, then add onions & bell peppers, optionally repressure (not too long or you'll have pepper coulis) or just simmer it on the stove top until the veggies are done. Stir in condensed soup and mayo (1:1) and stir. Salt & pepper to taste. Serve over rice or noodles.

www.MissVickie.com is a fabulous resource for learning the ins and outs of pressure cooking and she has lots of recipes. I've learned that most crock pot recipes I've been given can be made in the pressure cooker because they are both wet cooking methods. I made all my twins' baby food in my pressure cooker. LOVE it.

Enjoy your twins and your pressure cooker!

The crockpot is a lifesaver with a baby!

Here's one that I make every few weeks. My 14 month old loves it!

3 chopped carrots
3 stalk chopped celery
1 14 oz can beef broth

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6-7 hours. May need to add additional water.


Also, I have the Fix-It and Forget-It cookbook--there are some really great recipes in there.
