How to keep gravy hot until serving the meal Pre-warm the carafe or thermos with some hot water, then ladle your gravy, once it's hot and smooth, into a thermos or an insulated coffee carafe. If it works for your coffee, it'll work for the gravy—let it do its job, and when you get back to it, the gravy will still be warm and smooth, even if that's hours later.Nov 27, 2014 Yes, you will get pan drippings like the conventional method of roasting but you won't get as much.  I think it tastes better and is more tender because the 'slow cooking' technique does not drive as much of the internal moisture out of the meat fibers.

tinyurl.com/y736v9sj **ALSO, see my 1/2 measure of this minestrone!!** I am pretty much a lazy cooker so you can believe that this is not as difficult as it looks...by prepping the veggies the night before, it was a "piece of cake"!   I would make 1/2 of this recipe if I were to use the slow cooker. The whole thing would be too big for one. An easy slow cooker homemade minestrone soup so you can totally skip that stop to Olive Garden! Loaded with healthy vegetables like spinach and zucchini and protein packed with beans - hearty and comforting! Easy to make gluten free.  I made it in a huge soup pot and it was great that way, too!! It’s absolutely perfect for those days/nights when you have a bazillion things to get done. I love how awesome it is that the crock pot gets to take on most of the dinner responsibilities for the evening.

And yes, as unreasonable as it sounds, you do need bourbon to make bourbon-glazed carrots. What happens if you just make this recipe and use water instead of the whiskey? You get glazed carrots. Close, but no cigar. By the way, in related news, bourbon also pairs very well with cigars. Anyway, if you’re looking for a stellar, and very shiny vegetable side dish for your Easter celebration, I hope you give these bourbon-glazed carrots a try. Enjoy!

l only gave this 4 stars because of the messy appearance of the finished product.

I made this on 2/9/15 and it tastes great!! I added the seasonings to taste & fried the mushrooms with Onions & Pepper.  I sliced Mozzarella and sprinkled Parmesan on the top. It really didn't take much time once I got it done. I didn't have any ground meat so this was vegetarian

11-22-14  I made these...they mixed by hand and were done in 20 minutes. They disn't rise much, I think they could use almost a double recipe to make a large muffin.  They were soft and held their shape nicely...I liked them and with some jelly they would really be good, but plain they're just not sweet.
