I cut up half a head of cabbage and half an onion and put them in the crock pot. I added two chunks of pork loin. After that cooked for about 3 hours I added part of a bag of baby carrots. I let them cook for a couple of hours and added some new red potatoes cut in half.

half a head of cabbage, chopped up
half a medium onion, sliced
a pound of pork loin, cut in two chunks
half a pound of baby carrots
half a pound of new potatoes
salt and pepper to taste

When it's 100 to 110 outside every day it's just too hot to do much cooking!!

thanks for the recipe, I agree to hot to cook but we still have to eat

I put my crock pot in the garage or on the patio, depending if I am home or not....this keeps the heat out of the house. We are now on day 20 of over a 100 degrees...can't wait to see that electric bill...might have to stop eating for a while.

I'm in Kansas too.
Try this in the crock pot:
1 Pork Roast in the crock pot on low for several hours with a little bit of water in the bottom.
Add 1 can sauerkraut the last couple of hours. Fork the meat apart like pulled pork.
Yep, too hot to cook

My DH hates sauerkraut so I add a chopped up one or two apples and add 1-2 Tbls brown sugar. I tell him it's chopped cabbage and he eats it up and takes seconds. Men are so funny some times.

Thanks! My husband loves cabbage!

This looks like the recipe I use for corn beef and cabbage. I use corn beef instead of pork which I do not like.

Crockpot is the answer on these HOT days. I did a beef roast and then did baked potatoes in the microwave and broccoli cuts. Easy and didn't heat up the kitchen!! Tomorrow I will use the leftover beef and broth to make a quick vegetable soup.
