NBR: Note to self-milk in crock pot does not turn out well.

So my challenge lately has been to turn normal stove top/oven meals into crock pot meals b/c I try to go to the gym after work on some nights.  Today I decided to try my potato soup recipe that I usually make on the stove top and just throw it into the crock pot.  When I got home the milk had separated and appeared almost curdled.  I then decided to look online at crockpot recipes for potato soup and found that you shouldn't add the milk until the last hour or 30 minutes b/c all day in the crock pot causes it to curdle.

    GROSS!!! I made a crockpot recipe that called for milk last week (buffalo wing soup -yum!), but it specifially said to use nonfat milk. It said that anything higher fat than 2% would curdle.

    We used 2% and it still curdled. :(.  Tomorrow night is a dairy free fajita recipe so we shall see how that goes.  I might google a few recipes for fajitas in crock pot before I just throw the stuff in the pot like I usually do.

    Ewwww! I hate when I ruin a whole dinner and I have to think of all the money I just wasted. I learned this the hard way with sour cream in the crockpot once.

    I turned noodles into mush and ruined what should have been three meals worth of soup into garbage the other day.  I was so mad.  I planned on freezing it to use later.  :(  I HATE when I do that.

    Good to know about the milk too.  Never thought about it.
