    How could I have missed that useage for the slow cooker? I just did a search of my 30L (or so) MM database using "bread" in the title ans looking for "crockpot" in the directions. And this is the sole result:

    and it's for an "Instant Pot" not a crockpot as such. Bv(=

    Thanks for this recipe. What i am finding is that all of my containers are either too wide or too tall to fit well in my crockpot. I read
    that coffee cans are good for making boston brown bread. I found an
    old 1 gallon can but it is way too tall to fit in my crockpot. Time
    for me to take some measurements and go browse the thrift stores for
    bundt pans, etc.

    Most coffee these days cames in plastic "cans". Dunno how that would work
    in a crockpot. And the coffee that's not in plastic is in containers made
    of foil-lines pasteboard (paper) which will go all soggy and deformed when subjected to damp heat.

    I've got a 7 quart oval slow cooker, a 5 quart round and a "casserole
    Crock Pot" (actually made by Crock Pot inb Jackson, MS) which could be
    used to hold my small bundt pan or mu mini-lopaf pans.

    Title: Dirty Dave's Crockpot Chuck Roast Dinner
    Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Herbs, Potatoes
    Yield: 6 Servings

    3 lb Well marbled, trimmed beef
    - chuck or arm roast
    3 lg Idaho potatoes, peeled (2.5
    - to 3 lb)
    1 lg Onion; peeled
    18 oz Bag "baby" carrots
    2 oz Env onion soup mix
    Salt & pepper
    Garlic granules or powder

    Assemble the ingredients. Salt and pepper the roast as
    it sits n the countertop. Sprinkle some garlic granules
    over it if you wish.

    Peel the potatoes and slice them on your mandoline or
    with a sharp knife into even slices. Line the bottom
    of your Casserole Crockpot with the sliced spuds.

    Center the roast on the bed of potatoes and spread the
    "baby" carrots around the perimeter. Open the envelope
    of onion soup mix and sprinkle over the beef.

    Set your mandoline to a thin slice setting and slice
    the onion, covering the top of the roast.

    Place the lid on the crockpot and set the temperature.
    High if you are making this for Sunday's noon meal or
    low if you are going to work and want supper ready
    when you come home.

    UDD NOTES: I have added fresh mushrooms (both sliced
    and whole) to this quite successfully. I have also used
    a medium sized turnip in place of one of the potatoes
    when "catering" for others - after asking if they like
    turnips. Never for home consumption.

    I'm pretty proud of this one. I was in my sister-in-laes kitchen whilst
    she and my brother took one of their fur kids to the vet. So, I thought "I'll just make supper and feef 'em when they6 get home."

    Then I had to write down the recipe or Vicky was not going to let me go home.

    Title: Shrimp & Broccoli (sort of) Alfredo

    Nice going! I already had this recipe in my collection, so i guess you
    must have posted it before.

    Here's a recipe for Broccoli Walnut Crepes. I've never cooked crepes yet.
    A friend of mine is very skilled at it.

    Title: Broccoli Walnut Crepes
    Categories: Crepes
    Yield: 5 Servings

    MMMMM---------------------------BATTER--------------------------------
    3 Eggs
    1 ts Honey
    1/8 ts Salt
    1 c Unbleached white flour
    1/2 c Whole wheat pastry flour
    1 3/4 c Milk
    2 tb Butter; melted
    3 tb Butter; up to 4 tb

    MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
    2 tb Sunflower oil
    1 c Onion (2 sm); chopped
    2 ts Basil
    2 ts Dried thyme
    7 c Broccoli; chopped
    1 ts Salt
    1/8 ts Black pepper
    3/4 c Walnuts; roasted, chopped
    1/4 c Fresh parsley;
    - finely chopped
    10 Crepes
    1 1/2 c Cheddar cheese; grated
    1 1/2 c Monterey Jack cheese; grated
    1 c Sour cream
    Roasted walnuts; for garnish

    Crepes:

    In a medium-sized bowl, whip eggs until light, then add honey, salt,
    and flours. Stir in well. Slowly add milk, 1/4 cup at a time. When
    well mixed, add melted butter. Allow batter to sit at room
    temperature 2 hours if possible. If it sits overnight, refrigerate it
    and add a bit more milk to thin the batter. The next day allow to sit
    at room temperature for an hour before using.

    To cook, preheat a 10" skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tb butter and
    swirl it around in the pan. Add a bit less than 1/4 cup of batter to
    pan, then quickly swirl pan around so that batter covers the bottom
    of pan thinly. If too much batter is poured in, try to pour excess
    batter back into larger bowl. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly
    golden in color, then flip crepe over with a spatula, cook 1 minute
    more, and remove from heat. Add a bit more butter to pan and repeat
    process until all batter is used up. Stack cooked crepes on top of
    one another and allow to cool. BE sure to use a small amount of
    batter or crepes will be too thick.

    Filling:

    Set a 10" frying panover medium heat. Add oil, then onions, basil, and
    thyme. As onions just become translucent and/or begin to brown, adfd
    broccoli to mixture. Continue to cook until just tender, mixing
    ingredients together. Add 1/2 cup roasted walnuts and parsley. Stir
    well. Preheat oven to 375°F.

    Lay crepes out on counter. Spread 1/3 cup broccoli mixture down the
    center of each crepe. Combine cheeses and top each crepe with about 3
    tb cheese. Roll up crepes and set seam side down onto lightly oiled
    shallow baking pan. Bake 10 minutes, until cheese is thoroughy
    melted. Serve each crepe with a dollop of sour cream topped with a
    few roasted walnuts.

    Title: Boston Brown Bread - Crockpot
    Categories: Breads, Crockpot
    Yield: 1 Loaf

    1 c Whole wheat flour
    1 c Rye flour
    1 c Yellow corn meal
    2 ts Baking soda
    1-1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 c Dark molasses
    1-1/2 c Buttermilk
    1 c Seedless raisins
    2 c Water; hot

    Boston Brown Bread 3 to 4 hours. This is great with baked beans and
    franks. It's dark and dense, and leftovers make wonderful toast.

    To Cook:

    In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat and rye flour, corn meal,
    baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the
    molasses, buttermilk, and raisins. Stir until all the ingredients
    are combined.

    Grease a 2 qt mold, flour it, and fill. The batter should not fill
    more than 2/3rd of the mold. Cover with foil and tie with string.
    Set the mold on a trivet in the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour
    the hot water into the pot, cover the pot, and cook on High for 3
    to 4 hours. The bread is done when the top is dry and recedes from
    the edge of the mold. Cool the bread on a rack for 10 minutes, then
    turn out and serve.

    Yield: 1 Loaf
