10 Slow Cooker Suppers for Seniors That Cook Themselves (Soul Food Style)

📖 Get all 305 of Grandma's secrets here: https://earlenetatum.com There is a smell that gets to you before the light does. You are still laying there and the whole house already smells like Sunday. That is a pot that worked all night while you were not in it. Ten suppers tonight, and every one of them cooks itself. You put it in, you put the lid on, and you walk out of that kitchen. Some go in before bed and they are ready when you get up. Some go in when you get up and they wait on you until supper. Meat that comes apart when the fork touches it. Gravy that went dark on its own, out of the meat, with nothing poured in from a packet. ──────────────────────────── 1:25 1 · Oxtails and gravy over rice — eight hours on low 3:54 2 · Chuck roast with potatoes and carrots — nine hours 6:02 3 · Chicken and dumplings — six hours, then thirty minutes 8:04 4 · Butter beans with smoked turkey — seven hours, no soaking 10:26 5 · Green beans, potatoes and smoked turkey — five hours 12:39 6 · Pork shoulder, pulled — ten hours, and no liquid at all 14:58 7 · Chicken and sausage gumbo — six hours, twenty minutes up front 17:21 8 · Beef short ribs — eight hours, company food 19:29 9 · Collard greens with a ham hock — seven hours 21:43 10 · Meatloaf with brown gravy — five hours, oven stays off ──────────────────────────── Every one of these is a cheap cut. Shoulder, neck, tail, rib, hock — the pieces that work hardest on the animal, and the only ones that need hours. Salt goes in a pot of dry beans at the end, never at the start, or they will sit there hard for nine hours and never give. The potatoes go on the bottom and the meat on top, not the other way around. A boneless short rib is the one thing I will not buy. And a slow cooker cannot brown one thing, no matter what the box tells you. New recipe every single day. Subscribe if you have ever woken up to a house that already smelled like supper — I will see you here tomorrow. Next time: Sunday dinner. The whole table, the way it went out of this kitchen when company was coming. Take care of yourself tonight. You have earned a good supper. — Earlene
