Corned Beef sans Cabbage

2 lb. bag of sauerkraut
1 medium onion
1 small to medium corned beef brisket

Place the sauerkraut in the bottom of the crockpot. Cut the onion in half lengthwise, then slice it crosswise and add pieces to the crockpot. Put the corned beef brisket on top of the sauerkraut and onion and add the seasoning packet that came with the brisket.

If you want to tame the kraut taste a little, add one or two tablespoons of sugar. Turn the crockpot on high cook 5-6 hours, or until done. When done, the meat falls to pieces. Sauerkraut tenderizes tough cuts of meat when you cook them with it.

Malaysian Sweet Potatoes

This recipe has a fruity but nicely Asian sauce that is poured over the potatoes when they get done. Not your everyday stuff.

3 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 1/2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 large onion, diced
1 stalk lemongrass, outer leaves removed, and split
lengthwise
1 Tbs sesame oil
1 1/2 tsp tamarind paste
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup light soy sauce
2 cups orange juice
1 finely grated lemon, zest of
1 pinch ground red pepper (to taste)

Place ingredients into crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 4 1/2-5 hours or until potatoes are nice and tender. Remove lemongrass pieces and discard. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Remove potatoes and keep warm; pour liquid from crockpot into a saute pan and reduce until it gets thick and syrupy, then pour over potatoes; serve.
