Pot Roast: Add a chuck roast and a can of Campbell’s French onion soup. Carrots and potatoes if you have them. Cook overnight or all day while you are at work. Excellent for football Saturdays.

Barbecue Pork: Add a pork roast and very little chicken broth or water and cook all day. Chop up the meat, remove any bones and add sauce. Put onto sandwich buns. Eat.

Chili: Add ground beef, browned if you want to, diced tomatoes, chili powder, hot pepper, an onion, beans, frozen corn and salt. Cook 6 to 12 hours. Good with cheese and chips.

Why is it unsafe to use frozen meat? I almost always do. I do most crock pot cooking overnight for 10 hours typically. I figure any bacteria would be dead after that.

I figure any bacteria would be dead after that.

I think the concern is not the bacteria themselves but their waste products. Botullisim poisoning would be an example (although not for crockpot cooking) of the damage being caused by the output of the bacteria rather than the actual bugs.

Frozen corn in Chili????? there must be a hundred or so old time Cowboy cooks spinning in their graves. Corn in Chili, real chili the old way was just meat, and chili peppers, the reason was usually they butchered a steer on Sunday and that would last all week, but sometime by Friday and Saturday the meat was beginning to be a bit rank,,so the way to cover it up was with Chili Peppers. Then someone came along and added beans. Lots of real Chili Cooks, the real old timers still just use meat and peppers, beans are usually cooked on the side and added to the Chili. But corn no way we are not talking about stew....Bueno
