Crazy Crockpot Recipes that are delicious.

I saw these recipes and thought, naaaah that can't work.  But so many liked them so I decided to try it.  Wow, what a results.  Here is a small collection of random Crockpot recipes that are delish, easy and comes together quickly.

Mississippi Roast

This one is the nuttiest, but trust me, absolutely delish.

Chuck roast or other lean beef roast
A package of Ranch dressing mix (I am partial to Aldi's store brand or Hidden Valley buttermilk packet)
A package of Au Jus mix  (I use Knorr's)
10 Peperoncini rings
1/2 stick of butter.

Place beef in crockpot, sprinkle packets over the beef.  place pepper rings on top of seasoned beef and place the butter on top of it all.  Close and cook on low for 6-8 hours.  Yes, you read that right and no liquid of any kind is needed.  You will have the most luscious gravy and mouthwatering tender beef.  You can add potatoes to this but I add 1/2 cup of water since the potatoes will absorb the gravy.

Kalua Pork
Pork butt or sirloin cut
Red Clay Alaea salt  (for informational purposes, no affiliate links here.  You can also get on amazon, world market etc)
Liquid Smoke

Place pork in crockpot, spread liberally on all sides of the pork with the red clay salt.  Sprinkle about a teaspoon of liquid smoke.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours.  Once done, shred and serve.  There isn't a subsitute for the red clay salt and it's truly what makes this dish incredible.  I tried it with kosher salt, black lava salt and other mineral type of salts and never was able to duplicate the flavor of the Alaea salt.  It's worth the hunt for it.
