tonight was a complete success

so you liked it then? Mine turned out great and everyone enjoyed it.

I have not tried the pineapple juice. Let me know if you try it. I love this kalua pig recipe, I probably make it once every couple of months. I have added cabbage in there on occasion, but that's just a personal preference.

It's really great if you have a rice cooker and can whip up some quick sticky white rice to go with it.

Well, I made this pig this weekend. It came out fall off the bone, buttery good. I cooked it with a can of crushed pineapples and a few splashes of soy sauce. I will definitely be adding this to the rotation. Even my 13 month old daughter gave it two thumbs up. Thanks for the great idea. Such a mindless recipe, its amazing how well this turns out with so few ingredients.

i bet your jous was spectacular

crock pot lasagna last night

is this superior to a baked lasagna? if so, please explain why.

in honor of cinco de mayo, i'm whipping up some beef barbacoa in the crock pot.

yeah but how did this turn out

i was worried it'd be too hot after deciding not to de-seed the jalapeno, but it turned out great, just right. served it on corn tortillas with a guacamole spread.

can you hotlink me to your recipe?

Beef Barbacoa

Ingredients

3 pound tri-tip or chuck roast, some fat trimmed off (leave some for flavor) Cut into about 4 or 5 large pieces
1/2 a yellow onion quartered
2 large garlic cloves cut in quarters
1 jalapeno, chopped- stem and seeds removed if you don't want too spicy
2 tbs of chili powder
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp pepper
salt to taste, I add about 1 1/2 tsp salt
1-2 cups of water

Place all ingredients in slow cooker, and add enough water. Set on low and let cook for about 7-8 hours until very moist and shreds easily. There should be enough liquid to keep it moist. Or cook on high for about 4-5 hours. Enjoy.
