Texas Slow Cooker

by Cheryl Jamison

Texas Slow Cooker provides southern flavors with cooking know-how from The Lone Star State.

Even great cooks, such as Cheryl Jamison, one of the preeminent authorities on American regional cuisine and the author of many award-winning cookbooks, occasionally prefer the make-ahead convenience, easy cleanup, and depth of slow-cooked flavor that you get when you use a slow cooker.

Co-author of the pioneering book Texas Home Cooking, Cheryl reveals in these pages that a stunning range of Lone Star gems, from chilis and stews to enchiladas and roasts, from bean or rice dishes to beef, bison, poultry, and shrimp, come out of the slow cooker brimming with flavor—and with a minimum of fuss for the cook.

These 125 recipes are full of delectable, down-home goodness, each one better than the last, and better even than its non-slow cooker counterpart. Whether you're enjoying a family dinner or feeding everyone at the family reunion, tastes like Chicken Chorizo Chili, Hill Country Goulash, Bison Short Ribs, and Venison Pot Roast will never disappoint.

Great cover on this one. Good representation of the content found within. Good composition and interesting title work as well.

This was a yummy little cookbook to dive into. The recipes are well laid out and easy to follow. Unfortunately, it is WAY too light on photos with only a single photo per chapter. Which was a bit of a bummer, to be honest. This probably would have garnered an extra star had there been more.

The book starts off with an introduction followed by the following chapters (A BREAKFAST TO KICKSTART YOUR DAY, STARTERS, TAILGATING SNACKS, AND SOUPS, CHILI AND STEWS, BEEF, BISON, AND VENISON, PORK, GOAT, AND POULTRY, GULF SEAFOOD AND FRESHWATER FISH, BEANS, VEGETABLES, AND OTHER SIDES, DESSERTS AND OTHER SWEETS).



Here are just a few of the delicious recipes you will find within...

-- Puffy German Apple Pancake
-- Open-Face Omelet with Sausage and Home Fries
-- Seven-Layer Dip
-- Black Bean Soup with Pico de Gallo
-- Turkey–Black Bean Chili
-- Hopkins County Chicken Stew
