  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours.
  4. In a bowl, stir together the cornstarch and cold water, then stir into the mixture in the crockpot, cover the crockpot and allow to cook for another 10 to 15 minutes or until sauce thickens.
  5. Serve over rice.
  6. Serves 6 to 8.
  7. Put all ingredients in crockpot and stir gently until combined.
  8. Cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or until rice is tender.
  9. Serve immediately.
  10. Will serve 4 to 6.
  11. In a heat-resistant glass bowl, put the mushrooms, pour in the boiling, and let steep for 30 minutes. Drain mushrooms through a fine metal mesh colander or sieve, reserving liquid.
  12. Put mushrooms on a cutting board and dry with paper towels, then chop up fine; set aside.
  13. In a large skillet over medium heat, put 1 Tbsp of the coconut oil and heat until melted and hot.
  14. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until mushrooms brown slightly and liquid evaporates.
  15. Transfer mushrooms to crockpot.
  16. In same skillet, add the remaining 3 Tbsp coconut oil and heat over medium heat, then add onions and cook until just softened.
  17. Pour reserved mushroom liquid into skillet with onions, and add the garlic, thyme, salt and black pepper, and cook for 1 minute, stirring often.
  18. Transfer this mixture to crockpot with mushrooms.
  19. Add bay leaf, broth, and coconut milk to the crockpot, stir.
  20. Cover crockpot, set temperature to LOW, and cook for 6 to 8 hours.
  21. Uncover, remove the bay leaf, discard, and serve hot in soup mugs.
  22. Makes 4 to 6 servings
  23. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add the mushrooms and cook until soft and slightly browned.
  24. Add the onion, cooking until transparent.
  25. Add the garlic, cooking for 1 more minute.
  26. Scrape this mixture from the skillet into your crockpot.
  27. Add the chicken broth, stir.
  28. Cover crockpot, set heat on LOW, and cook for 5 to 6 hours.
  29. Turn heat off, remove cover, stir, and add half-and-half, stir.
  30. Taste and add salt and pepper as desired.
  31. Let sit for 5 minutes, then serve in soup mugs.
  32. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
  33. Will serve 2 to 4.
  34. Sprinkle roast all over with black pepper. (Add salt if desired.)
  35. Spray a heavy non-stick skillet with cooking spray or coat with oil.
  36. Put skillet over medium-high heat.
  37. When skillet is hot, add the roast and sear until browned well, flipping after side is browned - do not flip continually, just once per side. Brown all over, not just 2 sides.
  38. Arrange the carrots on the bottom of the crockpot, then the celery, then the onion, and sprinkle the garlic over all evenly.
  39. Set the browned roast on top.
  40. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wine, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, thyme, and bay leaves, then pour gently over the roast and vegetables.
  41. Cover the crockpot, set the heat to LOW, and cook 8 to 9 hours or until beef is fork tender.
  42. When done, remove beef and vegetables to a platter. You may thicken the gravy at this point if desired. Turn heat on crockpot to high. Mix the cornstarch and cold water (or almond flour and water) in a cup until dissolved, then stir into the crockpot and stir until liquid thickens; turn heat off.
  43. Spoon vegetables on each plate and serve thin slices of beef alongside. Spoon the thickened gravy over all.
  44. Cornstarch is not low carb, but the almond flour option is low carb. Another low-carb option is to add okra to liquid and allow to cook together for 5 minutes. Eggplant is another low-carb thickener.
  45. Serves 6.
  46. Over medium-high heat, ground the beef and then drain off the fat. Add all the ingredients to the crockpot except the cheese. Cook on HIGH for 1 hour then turn down to LOW and continue cooking for 3 more hours. Add the cheese and cook for 5 minutes just to melt the cheese.
