CROCKPOT CINNAMON ALMONDS

CROCKPOT CINNAMON ALMONDS

Ingredients:

1 1/2 C. Sugar
1 1/2 C. Brown Sugar
3 Tbsp. Cinnamon
1/8 tsp. Salt
1 Egg White
2 tsp. vanilla
3 Cups Almonds
1/4 C. Water

Directions:

In a medium sized bowl, mix together sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. In another medium sized bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla until it’s a little frothy. Add almonds. Make sure the almonds are thoroughly coated in the egg white mixture. Add cinnamon mixture to the almonds and toss until coated. Thoroughly spray with the stoneware of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray and add the mixture of almonds and sugars. Cook on low ( with the lid on) 3-4 hours stirring every 20 minutes. In the last hour, add the 1/4 C. of water and stir well. This ensures a crunchy yummy coating. (*make sure after you've added the water that you continue to cook the nuts for another 45 minutes to an hour.) You have to stir really well, especially as it gets later in the cooking process. Line a baking sheet with parchment and spread the almonds flat to cool. The almonds will be sticky at this point, so make sure you separate them a little and have no large mounds.

Crock Pot Guinness French Onion Soup & Irish Cheddar Crouton

Crock Pot Guinness French Onion Soup & Irish Cheddar Crouton

Ingredients:
4 Medium Yellow Onions, Sliced Thinly
5 Garlic Cloves, Chopped
3 Tbsp. Light Butter
1/4 C. Red Wine Vinegar
6 C. Reduced Sodium Beef Broth
1 (11.2 Oz.) Guinness Draught Beer
1 Bay Leaf
1 Tbsp. Dried Rosemary
Salt & Pepper To Taste
6 Slices French Bread (2" x 2-1/2" x 1-3/4")
6 Oz. Irish Cheddar, Sliced (I used Kerry gold, Aged)

Directions:
Place onions, garlic, and butter into your slow cooker. Cover and cook on high heat setting for 45 minutes to an hour or until onions begin to soften. Yes, your slow cooker will be pretty full of onions. Don't let it scare you! They cook down to almost nothing.

Stir red wine vinegar, broth, beer, bay leaf, rosemary, salt and pepper into onions. Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 9 hours (or high heat setting 3 to 4 hours) or until onions are very tender.

Once the soup is finished, remove the bay leaf. Right before serving, preheat oven broiler and set out individual slices of French bread onto a baking sheet. Top bread slices with 1 oz. of the cheddar cheese each and broil until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Ladle soup into bowls and top with toasted 'croutons'. Serve piping hot.
