Alright, let’s talk about cookin’ goose breasts in that there crock pot. You know, that slow cooker thing? Yeah, that’s the one. I ain’t no fancy chef or nothin’, but I can make some good food, and this goose breast? It’s gonna be real tasty, you just wait and see.
First off, you gotta get yourself some goose breasts. Now, where you get ’em is your business. Maybe you got a hunter in the family, maybe you bought ’em at the store. Don’t matter to me. Just make sure they’re clean. Wash ’em good, like you wash your hands before supper. Nobody wants dirty meat, that’s just common sense.
Okay, so now you got your clean goose breasts. Some folks say you gotta soak ’em in water or salt water for a day or two. Says it takes the blood and funny tastes out. I don’t always do it, but if you want to, go ahead. Can’t hurt nothin’, I reckon.
Now, some folks like to prick the skin and dunk that bird in hot water before cookin’ it. Says it helps the fat cook out. And they say cookin’ it breast-side down first, then flippin’ it, helps it cook even. Me? I just toss it in the crock pot. Keep it simple, that’s my motto. Ain’t nobody got time for all that fussin’.
So, you take them goose breasts and put ’em right in the crock pot. Yep, just plop ’em in there. Don’t be shy. Then, you gotta add some liquid. I like to use a little bit of apple juice. Not apple cider, mind you, the clear stuff. Just pour a little bit over the meat, maybe half a cup or so. Don’t need much, just enough to keep things moist.
- Goose Breasts: Make sure they’re clean!
- Apple Juice: About half a cup, the clear kind, not cider.
- Crock Pot: You know, the slow cooker thing.
Now, put the lid on that crock pot. That’s important, gotta keep the heat in. Turn it on low. Yep, low and slow, that’s the secret to tender meat. And how long you cook it? Well, that depends. I usually let it go for 8 or 9 hours. You want it to be real tender, fall-apart tender. You can check it after 8 hours, see if it’s done. If it ain’t, give it another hour. It ain’t rocket science, just gotta be patient.
Now, while that goose is cookin’, you can go do other things. Go watch your stories, go visit with your neighbors, go take a nap. That’s the beauty of the crock pot, it does all the work for you. You just set it and forget it. Well, don’t forget it completely, you gotta turn it off eventually! But you know what I mean.
Once it’s done, you take them goose breasts out of the crock pot. Be careful, they’ll be hot. And they’ll be fallin’ apart tender, just like I said. You can shred ’em up with a couple of forks, or you can slice ’em, whatever you like. And the juice in the bottom of the crock pot? Don’t you dare throw that away! That’s good stuff, that’s flavor. You can pour it over the meat, or you can save it for somethin’ else. Gravy, maybe? Whatever you want.
Now, what do you eat with this goose? Well, you can eat it with anything you like. Potatoes, rice, vegetables, whatever you got on hand. I like to make some mashed potatoes and green beans. But you do what you like, it’s your dinner. This crock pot goose breast recipe is easy and it feeds the whole family, and that’s what matters.
So there you have it. That’s how I cook goose breasts in the crock pot. It ain’t fancy, but it’s good. And it’s easy. And that’s what I like. Simple, good food. Ain’t nothin’ better than that, if you ask me. And nobody did, but I told you anyway, ha!
Now you try it yourself. Go get yourself some goose breasts, and get to cookin’. You won’t be sorry. And if you are sorry, well, don’t come cryin’ to me. I told you how to do it, the rest is up to you. Good luck, and happy cookin’!
