I've been making this recipe for a long time on the stove/oven but I wonder how it would fare in the crock... I'm not sure about cooking rice for a long time in the crock pot -- I don't want it to turn into glue. Anyone have a recipe like this that works or suggestions on if this one would work pretty much as-is?

Had a couple of leftover bags of coleslaw mix in the fridge, and seeing as I shouldn't eat raw cabbage anymore, I was fretting over what to do with them last night (can't just throw them out!). Then I smacked my forehead, pulled out some ground beef to defrost, and got some cupboard stuff ready to make Cabbage Casserole this morning.

I know that the cardinal rule of crock pots is that only a small amount of liquid is used in them, unless rice or soup are being prepared.

So what happens when you are making something that has both rice and non-rice ingredients?

I ask because I want to make this again ( Read more... )

Hello, crock pot enthusiasts!

I have a recipe for arroz con pollo that calls for 1 cup of rice. Does this mean it's cooked or uncooked?

There's a fair amount of liquid in the recipe, so I'm thinking uncooked, but I wanted to check and see what you all think. I checked the tags but only saw recipes with rice that had cooking instructions.Thanks

I found this recipe for Lemon Chicken soup...
