Crockpot would have been easier Mr. Dog.

Honest truth. I have cooked this meal over a hundred times and never in the crock pot. About the only thing I ever do in the crock pot is Church covered dish supper soup or chili (pot keeps it warm on a church serving line) or make it - eat it - and forget it pulled pork. I guess we sometimes do red or white beans in the crock pot, but only about 50% of the time.

Occasionally we will buy a large package of stew meat and cook it in beef broth on the stove top - slowly with bay leaf, garlic and a whole onion, then after an hour or so - maybe more - when fork test shows it to be very tender, I will reduce the broth, or drain it away and add some Bullseye™ BBQ sauce to make BBQ Beef sandwiches. On a Friday night when you are traveling half way across Mississippi to watch the Grandkids play sports, there is no better feeling than having 20 of these guys in zip lock bags staying warm in an ice chest in the back of the truck. and a big bag of tater chips as an after the game, everything is closed and you need to drive from Natchez to Meridian treat. Don't even cook that in a crock pot even though I am sure you could.

I was intrigued with the whole Rib eye in the crock pot discussions that have taken place here, but then the wiser folks here assured me that both boiling and microwave produce better Rib eyes than the crock pot.

I am certain I have done lots of stuff that could have been done easier some other way.

(three good examples from my youth an 10 from the last week erased).
