1/2 lb. bacon, diced

1 cup chopped onion

6 to 8 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

3 c. water

3 1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

4 c. half and half cream or milk

3 to 4 tbsp. cornstarch

chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Cut clams into bite-sized pieces if necessary. In skillet, saute bacon and onion until golden brown; drain. Put into slow cooker with clams. Add all remaining ingredients, except milk, cornstarch, and parsley. Cover and cook on high 3 to 4 hours or until vegetables are tender.

Pulled Pork BBQ Chili

This is really great guys, I think you will really like it. And it's easy.

Brown and than slow cook boneless pork until very tender and than pull apart in pieces.

Sauce can be made before or after meat is done...add sauce to crock 10 minutes before serving

Sauce:

1 medium can of B&M or Bush baked beans. Mix in food processor making a patte paste, set aside

1 Texas chili in a bag ( or use your own chili spices)

1 large can( drained) of kidney beans

1/2 cup of Master piece or Bullseye BBQ sauce.

1 large can of drained stewed tomatoes

1/4 c dark brown sugar

1 bottle of dark brown beer

if desired you can add sauteed onions, cooked bacon, and or cooked green peppers

drain all but one cup of the pork juices from the crock pot. Add all ingredients except for the beer until hot, than slowly add beer to reach desired consistency. ( it can be made a soup or chili consistency) the secret ingredient is the baked bean patte it not only adds flavor but it works as a thickener, and I do recommend those BBQ sauce brands. Those 2 ingredients really add that particular flavor that makes it different from just chili.
Let me know how you all like it. I get great reviews myself I am actually known for it on all our BBQ's.

This one, called Swiss Bliss, is excellent. I've made it many times. I got it from a slowcooker group, and it is also posted on southernfood@about.com. 2 to 4 pound beef pot roast (lean chuck or bottom round) 1 envelope onion soup mix 1 can (4 oz) sliced mushrooms, drained (I use fresh) 1/2 medium green pepper, sliced 1 can (20-oz) tomatoes, drained and chopped, reserving liquid salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon steak sauce 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes PREPARATION: Place beef roast in crockpot and sprinkle with the onion soup mix. Add mushrooms, green pepper slices, and tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine remaining ingredients and add enough water to make 1 1/2 cups of liquid. Pour over meat and vegetables, and sprinkle with parsley flakes. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours. I usually take the lid off and turn the pot to high for about an hour before serving to thicken the juice.

RonÂs Meatballs and Spaghetti This recipe comes from my grandmother. I donÂt know where she got it from but it is at least 130 years old as of 2007 and comes from New Orleans. As usual with old recipes there are no measurements. Meatballs: Hamburger Onions, finely chopped Bread crumbs 2 or 3 eggs for binder depending on amount of hamburger Salt and Black Pepper Mix all and form small, half-dollar, meatballs. Sauce: Onions chopped Bell pepper chopped Celery chopped Amount of Onions equal Bell pepper and Celery combined. "The Trinity" Garlic 2 or more cloves minced 2 Bay leaves Thyme Flour 1 Tbl or more to coat vegetables Tomato sauce, not paste. Water Directions: Saute meatballs in batches and remove. In same pot sautÃ© vegetables. When cooked add flour to coat and cook for a couple of minutes more Â donÂt burn. Add tomato sauce to develop a rich red color. Cook down stirring often then add water to half way up pot. When well mixed and cooked add meatballs and continue to cook on slow fire uncovered til done. Stir to prevent sticking. ThatÂs the recipe Â now my tips. The amount of flour is used to make a kind of roux with the fat left from the meatballs so the more fat left the more flour needed to absorb. At this point you need to keep stirring just like making a roux and have the tomato sauce ready to cool it down before it burns. This step only takes a minute or two. Rich red color is what it says. Cooking down means reducing til the mixture is thickened. As it thickens it will tend to stick. The hotter you cook it the faster it will try to stick and the closer youÂll have to watch it. It is cooked down (reduced, thickened) when bubbles form on the surface and pop. Kind of messy unless you use a Âsplatter coverÂ, one of those screen wire things that covers a pot. Add water. A good rule of thumb is to add as much water as tomato sauce. Fill the empty tomato sauce cans with water. Cooked til done. The longer it cooks the more flavor is transferred between the sauce and the meatballs. ThatÂs why the meatballs are small. Important! While not mentioned, it was passed down. In the final stage of cooking til done you need to taste to see if enough of the salt and pepper seasoning transferred to the sauce and, if sauce is bitter add a pinch of sugar. And a final tip: During final stage you can turn it off and let it sit til youÂre ready to complete the process. This resting/cooling stage lets the flavors meld as in all Creole cooking Â its always better the next day.
