So it’s only natural that I’d want to snatch up every slow cooker cookbook that I come across. I’m always needing new inspiration, and I’m sure to get it from a cookbook dedicated to those slow cooked meals!
Today’s cookbook review – Easy Everyday Slow Cooker Recipes by Donna-Marie Pye – is filled with 200 slow cooker recipes. I have looked through and own my fair share of cookbooks, but what I really love about this book is its versatility. You get the regular suspects – soups, stews, chilis, plus plenty of main dish recipes using chicken, beef, pork, lamb and veal. But on top of that, there are also chapters on big-batch dinners for a crowd, cooking for two, plus double-duty dinners. There are slow cooker recipes for every occasion in this book!! And don’t forget about the desserts. I’ll talk more about that below, but I love that there is a good sized dessert chapter.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup packed brown sugar, divided
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- 12 soft square caramels (about 3.5 oz), wrappers removed and cut into fourths
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
- In another bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together ½ cup of the brown sugar and the butter until creamy. Stir in vanilla. Stir in ⅓ of the flour mixture, followed by ⅓ of the milk. Continue adding the flour and milk, making another 2 additions of each and beating well after each addition. Stir in the caramels. Spread the batter evenly into the bottom of a 4- to 5-quart slow cooker.
- Combine the remaining ½ cup of brown sugar and the boiling water and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Pour evenly over the batter.
- Cover and cook on high for 2½ to 3 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the blondie comes out clean. Serve topped with ice cream, if desired.
