anyone else tried this or something like it?

10/25/2011 12:45:23 PM

I've been looking to try something dessert-ish in the crockpot...I might have to give this a shot

10/25/2011 12:50:42 PM

wtf is baking mix?

10/25/2011 12:56:30 PM

baking mix =

atleast that's what I remember my grandma using as "baking mix" i'm sure there are others that aren't Bisquick

10/25/2011 1:08:47 PM

I have to admit I've never had Bisquick in my life. My mom was a hippie and made stuff like pancakes from scratch.

10/25/2011 1:14:54 PM

I dont think I've really used it much for pancakes, just as a baking mix

10/25/2011 1:16:46 PM

I'm guessing it's just flour, baking powder, and baking soda? Maybe some salt?

10/25/2011 1:19:29 PM

Think I'd prefer a more graham cracker type crust with that anyway

10/25/2011 1:42:08 PM

My mom makes this dope oatmeal crumble topping for her cobblers. I need to hit her up for the recipe.

10/25/2011 1:51:25 PM

should I flip the roast in the crock-pot or just leave it? And when I should I add the red potatoes, carrots, and celery? Or does it even matter?

10/25/2011 3:12:28 PM

I usually put those sorts of vegetables in at the beginning. Stuff like cabbage I'll wait to put in. And I don't bother with flipping the meat though that doesn't mean you shouldn't

10/25/2011 3:14:02 PM

bisquick has shittons of shortening in addition to those ingredients, and it's loaded with trans-fat as a result

10/25/2011 3:14:16 PM

Cool, I'll go put in the veggies now then. 5 hours should be plenty of time.

Should I buy cooking bags? I guess it could help with clean up, but its not like it makes a huge mess anyway.

10/25/2011 3:17:04 PM

I don't bother with cooking bags. It's not that hard to rinse out the ceramic once done.

10/25/2011 3:18:02 PM

thanks!

10/25/2011 3:20:07 PM

I just got stuff to make the pumpkin turkey chili on the last page. Except I'm actually using chicken.

10/25/2011 3:33:49 PM

I feel like there should be a bit of cinnamon and/or nutmeg added to that as well...

There is cinnamon and cumin in the recipe

10/25/2011 7:40:37 PM

Ah I was looking at the link on the previous page, just found the recipe on page 7

10/25/2011 8:03:41 PM

I'm confused. The recipe you linked didn't have cinnamon. So did you make the one you linked, or the one on p. 7?

10/25/2011 9:27:22 PM

Woops...i definitely made the one on page 7. My bad.

Hell yeah! I just made this and it was good as hell. Food Lion didn't have the herb mix, so I got the Italian spaghetti pack and added some fresh garlic. Will make again.

Just found the Italian Herb chicken packet-and the recipe you posted :

"Pumpkin Turkey Chili 1 cup chopped onion 3 cloves of garlic, minced 2 medium sized peppers, diced (I like to use 1 red and 1 green) 1 lb ground turkey 1 tbsp chili powder 2 tsp cumin 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp Mexican oregano 1 small can diced green chili peppers 15oz can black beans, drained and rinsed 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels 28 oz can crushed tomatoes 14 oz can diced tomatoes 15 oz can pumpkin puree, or 2 cups homemade Spray a large pot with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes, until just softened. Add the garlic and bell peppers, and cook about 5 minutes more until tender. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, and oregano. Stir in remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes to blend flavors. Or, just brown the turkey with the seasonings and combine with remaining ingredients in a crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve with your favorite chili toppings - cilantro, green onion, cheese, sour cream, etc. Makes 4 very generous servings - perfect if you're not eating this with any cornbread or other sides.

i know it's really late fall, but this still sounds really good... have people made this crock pot vs stove-top? which is better? I tend to think onions in the crock pot get a bad flavor but curious to see how it would taste with the other stuff.

12/19/2011 9:09:31 AM

^just use chopped shallots instead of onions and you won't have that issue

12/19/2011 9:33:10 AM

oh yeah? thanks for the tip!

12/19/2011 10:10:19 AM

Bisquick: We sell an inferior product with 4 ingredients and 4x markup.

12/19/2011 11:50:11 AM

i've only ever made pumpkin turkey chili in the crockpot and it's deelishus

12/19/2011 1:09:22 PM

^did you use the exact recipe i quoted? i'm going to make this tonight (with some mods)

12/19/2011 1:16:59 PM

oh, and do you cook the veggies before crock-potting?

12/19/2011 1:22:31 PM

uh yeah, considering i'm the one that posted that recipe in here initially yes that's the recipe i always use. and the only thing i cook before putting everything in the crockpot is the turkey

12/19/2011 1:32:51 PM

haha well i guess that makes sense!

12/19/2011 1:37:07 PM

i don't cook the onions and peppers first because i don't want them to be mushy at the end. in fact, if you're cooking on Low for 8hrs and want the veggies to stay slightly crunchy (or just not mushy), i would suggest waiting an hour or two before adding them

12/19/2011 1:41:11 PM

I'm probably going to use my stick blender to puree this down pretty good anyway.

12/19/2011 1:48:49 PM

now i'm resisting the urge to make crockpot pumpkin turkey chili tonight

thanks buddy!

12/19/2011 1:49:22 PM

don't resist... let it happen.

12/19/2011 2:04:35 PM

Any good crock pot recommendations? Considering buying one for the gf as one of her Christmas presents.

12/19/2011 2:06:49 PM

There is an awesome commercial for a crockpot with a lid that latches on such that it wont spill in a car. Totally convinced me to buy that brand. But I don't need a new crockpot, so I won't be buying it. That said, only get your gf a crockpot if she's okay with "appliances" as gifts. Many are not.

This is the spill proof version with the awesome commercial: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=16499773

This is what I have, and it works just fine. I would like to have more control over the timing options, but that's been my only complaint thus far:

12/19/2011 2:09:57 PM

definitely go for the big one, i think it's 6qt instead of 4qt. that way your chilis and soups and stuff can be big batches, perfect for freezing leftovers

12/19/2011 2:12:05 PM

My boyfriend got me a triple crock pot as one of my gifts last Christmas. He got a lot of BJs for that one.

12/19/2011 2:13:14 PM

oh god don't say that
i gave my mom one for her birthday and now i'm all skeeved out for some weird reason

12/19/2011 2:14:30 PM

12/19/2011 2:15:40 PM

upon further inspection, it was not a crockpot. it was a roaster oven.

no more skeeves. carry on!

12/19/2011 2:22:44 PM

the pumpkin chili is in my dutch oven

12/19/2011 5:18:33 PM

set em up
