So I purchased a crockpot, black & decker.
Have a beef short rib recipe that came with booklet, but if anyone has a better recipe, post it within the hour. I'm going to improvise since I don't have all the ingredients handy.
Here's the recipe:
3 lbs bone in beef short ribs
2tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp coarsley ground black pepper
2tbsp olive oil
2cups carrots
2 cups thickly sliced celery
1 cup coarsley chopped onion
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 can 14 1/2 oz diced tomatoes
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp. tomato paste
1 1/2 cup chopped carrots
1 tsp herbs de Provence
1 bay leaf
Season short ribs with salt and pepper. In a skillet, brown ribs over med heat til golden on all sides, about 3 mins each side. Transfer to the slow cooker stoneware liner. Top with veggies. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over meat and veggies.
Cover and cook on high for 5 to 6 hours or on low setting for 6 to 8 hours, until beef is tender. Remove bay leaf before serving.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Not sure I'm going to use this recipe though. I would prefer a finger licking good kinda recipe instead....
