Ooooooooh! That sounds so yummy!! I love pea soup, and will have to make this one soon!!!! Do you think it will be ok if I substitute smoked turkey for ham?? It should be ok, right?

Oh, I think turkey would be great. I also think it could be made without any meat/poultry and be just as yummy

Can anyone recommend a good brand/model of crockpot? Something fairly large, but not huge...maybe big enough to make dinner for 3 people with one night of left-overs.

I'm in need of a new one and thought I should ask here- thanks!!

REALLY easy pulled pork

Pork shoulder (bone in and leave it in for cooking)

Root beer (I use diet rootbeer)

Sweet baby rays BBQ sauce (I use the hickory and brown sugar)

put the pork shoulder in, pour in half a bottle of rootbeer so it's about half way up the pork shoulder then on top pour half of the sweet baby rays sauce. cook that for about 3-4 hours. flip it... slather other side with sweet baby rays sauce and cook for another 3 hours until it is falling apart in your hands

Then let it cool enough so you can rip it apart. enjoy. I add a little more BBQ sauce when I make a batch of leftover pulled pork.

EASY but drop dead delicious

I have a Rival 5 quart that I've had for years. I use it a lot and it's still good as new. If I were to get a new one, I would like one of the oval ones, rather than the round one that I have - chickens and some roasts fit much easier in those. As far as brands, I think they are all pretty much the same, tho some don't have the removable crock.

Funny, the weather has been cooler the past few days and I was just thinking of that crock pot, anxious to get it out and start making regular meals again. I don't have many recipes, I browse around to see what I can find. The easier the better. I think that chicken recipe of yours will be great for my the first meal when I take it out.

A very sweet PT'er who doesn't use a crock pot (thank you, Sandie), sent me a CD last year that she wasn't using. It's called Easy Chef's Slow Cookin' and has an amazing 6000+ slow cooking recipes - everything from main dishes, party drinks, appetizers, desserts, and more. If anyone is a serious slow cooker/crock pot enthusiast, it is available on Amazon, and well worth the money. No more searching the internet - it's all on one little CD.

I thought I would share a really good recipe! I've made this version of chickpea curry about 100 times, and wanted to try it in the crockpot- it tasted just as good, so I thought I'd pass it along.

Chickpea Curry Ingredients:

2 tbsp oil
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
(2) 15 oz. cans chickpeas, drained
(1) can 14 oz diced tomatoes (do not drain)
1/2 tsp garam masala

Dice the onion and garlic and fry them in the oil until the onions are soft. Add all spices (except garam masala) and stir for about 1 minute. Add onion mixture, drained and rinsed chickpeas, and undrained can of tomatoes to the crockpot and mix well. Leave out the garam masala for now. Cook on low for about 6 hours. About 20-30 minutes before cooking ends, add the garam masala.

It's great with rice or garlic naan bread! My daughter really likes it too.
