Hungarian Goulash

Crock Pot Hungarian Goulash

Gather the following ingredients:

16 oz frozen cut green beans, thawed
1/2 onion, chopped
1 1/4 lbs beef, cubed
1 can chunky tomato sauce, large or small can
1 can chicken broth
6 oz can of tomato paste
4 teaspoons paprika
cooked egg noodles

Ingredients for Hungarian Beef Goulash

Crock Pot
Medium bowl

Pour the green beans into the Crock Pot.  Chop half an onion and add it.  Cube the beef and add it.  I used a prime pot roast for the beef and cut that into chunks.

Combine the chunky tomato sauce, chicken broth, tomato paste, and paprika in the bowl.  Mix.  Add to Crock Pot.

Pork Chop Wrapped in Bacon

Pork Chop Wrapped in Bacon cooked in a Crock Pot

Gather the following ingredients:

4 pork chops
Bacon
Oranges or orange juice

Crock Pot
Pan (Optional)

Bacon, pork chops, oranges, juicer, and Crock Pot

You can start by searing the pork chops in a pan for a minute or two on each side to lock in the juices.  I am too lazy to do this, but it is a good idea.

Wrapped the bacon around the pork chops place them into the Crock Pot.

If you are using fresh oranges juice them and pour the fresh orange juice into the Crock Pot.  If you are using normal orange juice then just pour it into the Crock Pot.  You need enough to cover the pork chops or at least enough to cover half an inch worth.

Chicken in a Crock Pot

Chicken in a Crock Pot – simple

Gather the following ingredients:

Chicken breasts 3 – 6
2 Peppers – green, red, yellow, etc.
Bacon

Crock Pot
Pan

Optional:

Rice

Place the chicken breasts into the Crock Pot.

Cut the peppers into strips like you would for fajitas.  Remove the seeds, and stem, and the ribs.  Place the peppers into the Crock Pot.

Cook the bacon.  Sometime within the first 3 hours of cooking free up some bacon.  Cut the bacon into one inch sections.  Separate the sections and place them into the pan.  Cook on a medium heat for 10 minutes.  Add the bacon to the Crock Pot.  *I have made this without the bacon.  It isn’t as good.

Cook on low for 5 – 7 hours or until the chicken starts to fall apart.

This chicken is really good served over rice with the peppers and the bacon.
