Re: crockpot recipes?

OK so the buffalo chicken was great! I was going to just do sliders with it but instead I made little pita pizzas with it. For the chicken, you need:

1-2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 bottle of Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce
1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch powder

Put it all in crockpot on high for 2-3 hrs. Shred with fork. Now I accidentally bought HOT wing sauce (I'm not used to spicy) so it was REALLY hot. I added some cream cheese and it was awesome. Made it nice and creamy and cut the heat.

I bought this magazine/book in Stop&Shop and I LOVE IT!! I have cooked almost a dozen recipes from it but here is one I'll post a couple more.


Shredded Pork Sandwiches with Vinegar Slaw
Makes: 4 servings
Prep: 25 minutes
Chill: 2 hours
* 1 2-1/2- to 3-pound boneless pork shoulder roast
* 2 cups packaged shredded cabbage with carrot (coleslaw mix)
* 1/4 cup cider vinegar
* 3 tablespoons honey
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
* 4 Kaiser rolls or hoagie buns, split and toasted
* Bottled hot pepper sauce (optional)

Directions

1. Trim fat from pork. If necessary, cut pork to fit in a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. Place pork in cooker. Add broth. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours. Remove meat from cooker; discard broth. Using two forks, shred meat, discarding any fat. Reserve 2 cups of the meat. (Place remaining meat in an airtight container for another use; refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.)

2. In a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours, stirring occasionally.

3. In a medium saucepan, heat reserved meat mixture, covered, over medium heat about 10 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. If desired, add some of the reserved sauce to moisten meat. In a small saucepan, heat any remaining sauce over medium-low heat until heated through.

4. To serve, strain cabbage mixture, discarding liquid. Divide meat mixture on top of roll bottoms. Top with cabbage and roll tops. Pass reserved sauce and, if desired, bottled hot pepper sauce. Makes 4 servings.

5. There should be 3 cups reserved shredded pork mixed with 1 cup sauce and about 2 cups additional reserved sauce.
