    Slow Cooker Black Eye Peas and Collard Green with Ham Bone

    A variety of tasty black eye peas and collard green with leftover ham bone from the holidays. This combination is not just a great way to use up a left over ham; it is an affordable approach to plan your meals and stretch your budget. My husband and I used to buy a ham, cook it, and slice it up for sandwiches during the work week. Then when Saturday morning rolled around, I would throw the bone in the cooker with our favorite beans, and would have a hot bowl of soup at the ready. These days, I find my meal planning includes similar dollar saving techniques we used when it was just the two of us. Now that we have more mouths to feed, which includes growing teenage boys, that try to eat everything in the house; we have revived our old penny pinching meals to feed those hungry bellies delicious and tasty comforting food. 

    Once you have had your fill of ham slices and are looking for something to do with the bone; check out the video and follow the instructions to bring a bowl of this eatfoodlicious hearty meal at a table near you. Feel free to substitute the rice with your favorite bread or cracker. In my home we love it with crackers, rice, bread or delicious southern style skillet cornbread (see menu if interested).

      Slow Cooker Turkey Bone Stock

      Slow Cooker Turkey Bone Stock is the perfect use for your leftover roasted turkey bones from the holidays. Put them in the slow cooker, add a couple of vegetables & water. That’s it, you’ll have homemade turkey bone stock. Simple and savory flavor that is far superior to store bought broth, when made using the slow cooker. With some ingredients (not including filtered water) you can have delicious homemade stock ready for use as you prepare for your next food adventure. Follow this recipe and you should end up with 12-16 cups of authentic clear stock that will elevate the freshness of your next dish. 

      If you want to make a truly home cooked dish leave the cans and cartons of broth on the shelf at the store. Start your next broth based meal with no artificial preservatives and less salt. When you consider the number of cups as compared to the cost of the fancy carton you end up saving dollars and having more broth. If you are using cubes, cans or cartons of broth; please give this a try and step up your homecoming game. Watch the video, read the instructions and you will never (under normal circumstances) plan to use factory made broth again. 

      When you don’t have time to stew or simmer a whole chicken and don’t want to be in the kitchen for hours, this recipe is for you. You’ll get clear fresh stock with minimal effort in the most efficient and timely manor possible (need I say more?). You can refrigerate the stock for up to a week or freeze up to 3 months.

      Discard the bones and vegetables. Place a mesh/strainer on top of a mixing bowl. Pour the liquid through a fine strainer or you can scoop out the grease that is floating around the top.

        Slow Cooker Brisket

        Slow Cooker Brisket is an easy way to prepare a challenging cut of beef. It can be difficult to master how to produce tender and juicy brisket. This recipe was developed after several attempts and I believe you willl not be disappointed in how delicious the Beef Brisket method of preparation is. The brisket will be so tender you can separate it using a fork. Urban BBQ has found a new way to get an old recipe to the table. This recipe is perfect for beginners, homemakers that don’t want to get all smokey and anyone that loves to eat flavorful tender beef.

        Simply watch the video and follow the instructions below to serve up a comforting old fashioned beef brisket tonight. Let the Slow Cooker work its magic and enjoy a juicy tender serving of this delicious brisket. Feel free to get creative with the sauce, my husband like to add a bit of his favorite Kentucky Mash and apple cider to this recipe when he makes it at home.

        In a bowl: combine all the dry rub ingredients together and mix.

        Combine all the BBQ sauce ingredients together and mix well. Set aside. Optional: favorite store bought BBQ sauce can replace in this step. Clean and pat the brisket dry with a paper towel. Trim and discard some of the fat. Rub the dry ingredients on both sides of the brisket (It’s going to be a very thick coat of the seasoning). 

        Place brisket in the slow cooker. Add BBQ sauce on top. Slow cook on low for 9 hours for 3 ½ lbs and 10 hours for 4 lbs. 

        Transfer the brisket to a plate/cutting board. Cover/tent with aluminum foil. 

        Transfer the liquid to a sauce pan. Simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes or until it thickens.

        Coat with BBQ sauce.
