I have 3 crockpots, 6 qt, 8 and 10. I am retired and home all day but still love the slow cooker. It makes the house smell incredible for hours. I put chicken and beef especially in there and it drives my family crazy. My son says it can be used as a torture device for criminals. 😮
Look for her chocolate cookbook I had it in the day and made many of the recipes. It went by the way side at some point in my long life I have owned hundreds of cookbook I still cook everyday have been married for 61 years. Love your channel
I have this book . I got married in 1972, but I never felt confident making a lot of things in the crock pot. I had that bright orange crock pot and used it for years until one day the crock pot broke while using it. My jaw hit the floor, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
When my kids were little, I served this in pie tins and called it Cowboy Beans. It was a quick, cheap meal for a working single mom and the kids loved it.
I love this! I was married in 1975 and received the beautiful orange crock pot slow cooker as an gift! Many wonderful meals and great memories! Thank you for all your great vintage style food videos.
Oh my word, I love the thought of that beautiful orange crockpot! Wouldn't it be great if Rival would bring back some of the old colors and designs? I'd snap one of those up in a second! Thanks for watching. ❤
I love that book. It was the first cookbook My mom gave me when I moved out of my own and I inherited. my grandma's old. crock pot with removable insert. or crock I've gotten a few other crock pot since. but I still have the original one and I still use it all the time. I'd love crock pot recipes. So easy to make.
My mom had that exact red cooker. The crock didn’t remove for cleaning so she gave it away when we moved in 1990. I mostly remember her making Swiss steak.
I would love to see videos on "keeper" recipes. Stuff from the cookbooks that you have made several times, along with any changes you made to make it better.
I date when I make recipes in my cookbooks, and any notes/feed back. Does anyone else do this? I love seeing when I made things and see which of my little helpers may have helped.
Hi I got the Mabel Hoffman book and the original Rival Crockpot for Christmas the first year I got married. My favorite recipe was the Boston Baked Beans.
I discovered your channel just a few days ago and it hasn't taken me long to get hooked on Anna. I love cooking and I love all kinds of books, but especially cookbooks and the vintage ones are a favorite! This channel is educational and you are very entertaining. Thank you!!
I know my mother had this cookbook because just last month, I gave it to a local thrift store when cleaning out my recently deceased father’s home. Mom made basics like stewed chicken with dumplings, and beans - lots of beans! Set and forget still works for me today.
I know what you mean about that photo of Mable. I have this cookbook and actually said the same thing to my husband about that picture just being all things Seventies! I use my slow cooker non-stop. Right now, my sons are in two sports, band and Scouts, so having meals ready and waiting for us is priceless! As always, great video 😊
I wholeheartedly agree with you about slow cookers. It was a Godsend for me when my son would come home from school, because he was soooo hungry, and he would head for the potato chips or other foods. By the time I had dinner ready later, he wasn’t hungry, he wasn’t getting a good nutritional dinner. That’s when I invested in a crock pot, and I haven’t looked back. By the time, he got home from school he had a good nutritional meal. I don’t have that cookbook, but I do have my mom’s beef stew recipe that I said in one of my previous comments, that she got with her crockpot. I have made spaghetti bolognaise sauce, beef stew, sloppy joes and pulled pork.
I have that cookbook. I use it all of the time. I do not make sloppy names or anything with hotdogs. The pork chops, meatloaf, and stuffed bell peppers are wonderful.
My girls always called this hotdog soup cause they couldn't remember beanie weenie ❤😂 They are in their 20's and still call it that. Never tried it on buns/bread
I remember we had that cookbook when I was growing up. We used to use the crockpot all the time. I still use a crockpot, but I live alone and it's good if I want leftovers.
My first crock pot was the best - an olive green Rival from the 70's. The other ones ran too hot or barely warm. I've moved on to Insta-Pots for the past five years and they are my go-to.
This is in the slow cooker right now! Yay. I used Cheddar Brats instead of hot dogs. I've been really into 70s recipes & cookbooks lately. I turned 50 this year and am trying to figure out what the heck was happening in the 70s 😂 But really, I grew up thinking there was a lot of food I hated but realized as an adult that my mom and grandma maybe couldn't cook? Yikes.
Both my current slow cookers were bought at a thrift store fairly cheap and still work fine (one is an old school gold-colored one, love those warm colors from that era). I owned the Crockery Cookery book at one point (I've gotten rid of so many of my old cookbooks at this point). I buy frozen chicken parts and use them in recipes like chicken cacciatore. It calls for some cut up onions, a can of stewed tomatoes, canned mushrooms and minced garlic from a jar with a couple chicken bouillon cubes (this from a Fix It and Forget It Cookbook, Feasting with your Slow Cooker circa 2000). I also found a crockpot recipe for spinach lasagna (don't remember the source; I have it on a card) that calls for some uncooked hamburger, uncooked lasagna noodles, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese and a jar of spaghetti sauce. You are so right, it's nice (and smart) not to have to heat up the kitchen in the summer and to come home to something that smells wonderful. I've definitely thrown some hot dogs in my slow cooker before, usually with some kraut, nothing fancy. Yes, I would eat those Sloppy Janes.
I loooove that color. I wish Rival would come out with a line of crockpots in classic colors and designs. Actually, maybe not. I"d go broke buying every single one. 😂
Mable really hit a home run with this book. It was published just as slow cooker sales exploded and everyone needed a cookbook to show them the basics of what they could do. I used to love looking at crockpots in thrift stores and seeing ones that were featured in here. I would go home and check them off when I saw one. The only one left that hasn't been checked off is the Wear-Ever Pokey-Pot. Someday....
Howdy there Ms. Anna!👋 Here's hoping that you had a beautiful and bright weekend!🌞 I had never heard of the term "Sloppy Jane" before, so I became instantly intrigued!! I will gladly join you for lunch, and I think a nice slice of a summer tomato and some shredded cheese added, along with a dill pickle on the side would make this meal a delicious one!😋...If you happen to be a fan of good ol' Mabel's, I have also seen volumes she has done such as "Healthy Crockery Cookery", and "The Complete Crockery Cookery" cookbooks (try saying that ten times fast!😂)...so be on the lookout for those if you're interested!👍... Please take good care, and have a wonderful week ahead! Ms. Elizabeth 🥣🍴🥣🍴🥣
I was SO tempted to add cheese. 😂 I almost always add a slice of cheese to my regular Sloppy Joe's. I will have to keep an eye out for more of Mable's books! Very intrigued by Healthy Crockery Cookery...
I found this cookbook a while ago, and I love it! The Italian fondue from that cookbook was a giant miss for me but the Sloppy Janes are on my list to make. The crockpot reviews are also great, but what got me while reading through it was how some recipes weren't recommended for specific crockpots. That'd turn me off from buying those crockpots 😂
Great nostalgic recipe! I love using my crockpot all year round and I do find it helps to flavor a dish over several hours compared to just 20 minutes on the stove. Great video Anna!
Seriously, the slow and steady cook time can do so much to improve flavor. Something I've been meaning to mention to you - I got to shop at Greer's while on vacation a few weeks ago! I was like wait this store name sounds so familiar...why do I know this place...😂
I have the 1995 edition of this cookbook and the Sloppy Jane recipe is still included. This book is one of my favorites as evidenced by the food stains on the pages with the recipes that I have made multiple times over last almost 30 years!
This book was in my mom’s kitchen and I think it was gifted her along with the Rival Crock Pot. She used hers to make roast, chicken cacciatore and Swiss steak. That first crock was not removable?- huge pain.
I have an Instant Pot that I mostly pressure cook food. I also have rice cookers two that I sometimes cook other than rice other types of food. I am planning on getting a separate Slow Cooker because I love them for making yummy slow cooker recipes. They seem to do such a much better job with slow cooking recipes. Thank you, Anna, for reviewing this wonderful 70's recipe. I have always enjoyed franks and beans together. I like that chili sauce was an added ingredient to give it some wonderful added taste. I think even doing an open face sandwich would work great too with some potato salad as side.
I love my Instant Pot too, especially for things like pot roast. An open faced type of sandwich would work really well for this filling. Thanks for watching! ❤
We got a Rival crockpot as a wedding present in 1975. That thing lasted forever. I think I will dig out my slow cooker tomorrow and do a similar recipe with brats and baked beans. Gram had a slow cooker that didn’t have a removable crock and yes it was a pain to wash.
I like that you are making most of your recipes for the first time from the cookbooks. I have a couple little booklets that came with my mominlaws slow cookers in the 60s and 70s. There will be a sneak preview at the end of my jerky video that is posting tomorrow. I kind of got off topic and on the cookbooks for a couple minutes. 😆 I started to cut that part out but Steve told me to leave it. I've made this before but usually serve it on hot dog buns. Great video. Love the cookbook review.
Thank you!! As more people subscribe to my channel, I have felt the need to clarify that most of the recipes I make are new to me. 😂 I watched your jerky video while on the treadmill this morning and it made me very hungry. So glad you included the part about your vintage goodies and cookbooks!
@@cooking_the_books I need a treadmill. I walk in the park behind the house but it is so hot and humid now. I understand having to clarify to new subs. I started adding in that I'm Chastity and Bobbi Jo is my dog for the new subs. 😂I like when you make recipes you've never tried because it is showing the viewer hey if I can do this on my first try then so can you.
Sloppy Janes are made with Hot Dogs. Great video Anna. I get the taste for franks and beans once in a while. Been steaming my hot dogs lately. Nothing is nastier than hot dog water. So, I will rinse the steamer, pan and lid even if I am not ready to do dishes.
I made something very similar to that last year and put it in a bun. And then I ate it with a knife and fork. It does taste good. I think I would have more franks and less beans. And I used Tabasco but just a little.
The best example I can contribute to the low and slow cooking, even if it's already cooked is the feta pasta recipe. In our household we "modified" it to an economical spaghetti sauce/Diced tomatoes and cream cheese. Now we have done this plenty of times on the stove top normally anyway, so does it really matter to "roast" it for 45 minutes? Yes, yes it does. It makes it an entirely different dish. I no longer fight the recipe that slow cooks already cooked ingredients.
@@cooking_the_books I had 7 kids I had to feed after I got off work so I used mine a lot, so much that one of my sons was surprised I could cook not using the slow cooker lol
I know I have seen that cookbook, but I don’t own a copy. I do have a smaller Rival Crock-Pot Cooking by Marilyn Neil from 1975 with a picture of the orange Rival crockpot.
Oh yes I have a different edition of that same book! I made a video about the Male Chauvinist Chili (😂) from it last October. Surprisingly I only have a few vintage slow cooker cookbooks in my collection. Would love to find more!
Chili sauce isn’t hot… it’s basically fancy ketchup with some onion and maybe pickles?? I use it to make meatloaf glaze, always good to have it around for that
I don't think I would go to the trouble of hot dogs and beans in the crock pot. I kind of reminds me of a recipe I tried with hot dogs and noodles. I still have my little cook book from my first Rival crock pot. I use the stew recipe.
newer slow cookers cook so much hotter I don't know why. pressure cooks are good about blending all the flavors too. There's a youtube channel where they decided what was best in the slow cooker and what was best in the instant pot
I used to have that book. I made the pizza beans often when I was a newlywed. I think mine was a paperback copy though. I think. I have several different slow cookers. I have a 7 quart, a 6 qt, an oval that is small and a round somewhere in the middle. The 6, Oval and middling size actually attach to each other to make a buffet set-up. I’ve used it a few times on New Years Eve. I normally use a slow cooker in the winter but my Instant pot has taken their place and I use it almost every day.
Ok I am so delighted to hear that you’ve made the Pizza Beans! I will be making a video about them for sure. I love those slow cookers that are buffet style. I used to have one, but ended up selling it on FB Marketplace before we moved to California. Love my IP, too!
OPS? I like to add a tablespoon or two of worcestershire sauce to it. I was wondering if you used hamburger instead of hot dogs. Wouldn't it be a sloppy jo
Have you tried this recipe before? Let me know in the comments! It was super simple, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. 😅
Yep,something very similar and it's delicious😋
I made this years ago. It was in a different cookbook under a different title though. We loved it.
I love the Fix It and Forget It books. So many recipes. Some are too much work. I'm making a chocolate lava cake in my slow cooker next week. Yum!
I got married in 1976 and received 7 crackpots as wedding presents, gotta love it!
I have 3 crockpots, 6 qt, 8 and 10. I am retired and home all day but still love the slow cooker. It makes the house smell incredible for hours. I put chicken and beef especially in there and it drives my family crazy. My son says it can be used as a torture device for criminals. 😮

You have my mustard! I have to order Plochman's online because it hasn't been in stores in western MA in decades.
I have the book, and I tried the recipes. They're good.
I would love to see videos on "keeper" recipes. Stuff from the cookbooks that you have made several times, along with any changes you made to make it better.
I have a running list of 'Keepers' and it is SO long! 😂 Will have to narrow it down to my top 5.
I date when I make recipes in my cookbooks, and any notes/feed back. Does anyone else do this?
I love seeing when I made things and see which of my little helpers may have helped.
The slow cookers are great for developing flavors! I love hot dogs and baked beans over the summer and this looks like a great way to combine them!
Honestly it was so good and it really hit the spot for lunch the next day too!
Hi I got the Mabel Hoffman book and the original Rival Crockpot for Christmas the first year I got married. My favorite recipe was the Boston Baked Beans.
I truly enjoy your videos, not just the cooking, but also when you chat about the cookbooks. Thanks Anna, keep up the good work.
Oh thank you! That's so kind. I know that the 'cookbook talk' isn't for everyone, so it's nice to hear when people enjoy it.

So, basically Hot Dog Soup? I've made something similar to this. I have Hamilton Beach Slow Cookers.
Hmm it’s not quite as soupy as…well, a soup. 😂 Definitely more of a thick sauce.
@@cooking_the_books Yeah, it's a thick soup..we usually eat it with a fork and a side of pancakes or French Toast!
Pizza needs for pizza beans!!
Oh the pizza beans are COMING SOON. 😂
Add cheese next time to keep the sandwich more together and not as messy
newer slow cookers cook so much hotter I don't know why. pressure cooks are good about blending all the flavors too. There's a youtube channel where they decided what was best in the slow cooker and what was best in the instant pot
You need to make the pizza beans
I used to have that book. I made the pizza beans often when I was a newlywed. I think mine was a paperback copy though. I think.
I have several different slow cookers. I have a 7 quart, a 6 qt, an oval that is small and a round somewhere in the middle. The 6, Oval and middling size actually attach to each other to make a buffet set-up. I’ve used it a few times on New Years Eve. I normally use a slow cooker in the winter but my Instant pot has taken their place and I use it almost every day.
Ok I am so delighted to hear that you’ve made the Pizza Beans! I will be making a video about them for sure. I love those slow cookers that are buffet style. I used to have one, but ended up selling it on FB Marketplace before we moved to California. Love my IP, too!
OPS? I like to add a tablespoon or two of worcestershire sauce to it. I was wondering if you used hamburger instead of hot dogs. Wouldn't it be a sloppy jo
My husband would call this Beanie Weenie and serve it on toasr
Looks like your Dad's Beanie Weinees! Wonder where the name Sloppy Jane originated!😪 Aunt Jane
That's what I thought, too! I'll have to make another batch and take him some the next time I visit.
My mother pressure cooked her tough meats.

Looks nasty! 😮 😊Better Luck next time!😊
Huh. So putting hot dogs into it makes it - female (i.e. "Jane" instead of "Joe")? I think Mable needs to go back to Sex Ed class!
