It's a little late but. When I roast duck I pop it in the oven for an hour to render some of the fat.Pour it off. Then I stuff it and continue roasting like any other poultry. Ducks are very greasy, but oh so good.

CrockPot Layered Dinner--Steak, Potatoes, Corn on the Cob
Day 232.
I made a complete meal in the crockpot last night, and it wasn't a soup, stew, or casserole. I made rib eye steak, baked potato, and corn on the cob. It wasn't soggy, nor was it dried out, and I was able to leave the house for six hours.

The crockpot rocks.
I had been meaning to try a layered dinner in the crock for a few months, now, but kind of forgot. I am so glad that Julie emailed me! She made steak and sweet potatoes that way last week, with great success.
The Ingredients.
This is what I used. You can use whatever meat or vegetables you have in the house. The trick is to not use too much liquid when cooking the meat, so the potatoes and the corn (or whatever you're using) isn't floating in juice.
--1 1/1 lbs rib eye steak
--1 T of your favorite seasoning rub
--1 T dried onion flakes (a fresh onion would be fine. I wasn't in a chopping mood.)
--2 T Worcestershire sauce (Lea and Perrins is GF)
--1/4 cup tequila (or broth, apple juice, etc.)
--2-4 potatoes
--2-4 ears of fresh corn
--aluminum foil
In my 6 quart Smart Pot, I used 2 whole brown potatoes, and 4 ears of corn. I could have fit another potato in, probably.
Put meat in the bottom of the crockpot. Rub with seasoning and onion, and flip over to get the other side. Add tequila andWorcestershire sauce.
Wash potatoes and cover with foil. Add to the pot. Shuck the corn, and wrap each ear in foil. Add to the crockpot.
It doesn't seem to matter if the potatoes are closer to the meat, or the corn. The newcrockpots heat from the sides as well as from the bottom, so everything will cook through regardless of location.
Cover and cook on high for 5-7 hours, or on low for about 8. I cooked our dinner for 6 hours on high. My crockpot was quite full.

If ya have lots of eggs. this is a great way to use them and it makes life easer. Good breakfast for the ride to work. I use English muffins or hamburger buns you can add anything you like very flexible recipe. 90% of the time I just whip or scramble and bake no extras. 
I have hamburger bun pans so I've been baking the eggs in them.

"Easy baked egg breakfast sandwiches. Another frugal recipe that can be made ahead and frozen, then microwaved for fast breakfasts on the run. Try using other cheeses for extra flavor. I used Colby-Jack Slices. My boys loved this recipe!"

Ingredients
- 12 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 6 croissants, split
- 12 slices smoked ham
- 6 slices Colby-Jack cheese
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until they set and are no longer runny, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove, allow to cool, and cut into 6 portions.
- Butter the cut sides of the croissants and place one portion of the cooked egg onto each croissant bottom. Top each sandwich with two slices of ham and a slice of Colby-Jack cheese. Place the croissant tops on top of the sandwiches; wrap each sandwich well with plastic wrap. Place the sandwiches onto a baking sheet; freeze until solid, about 3 hours. Store frozen.
- To reheat, cook a wrapped sandwich in a microwave on High until hot in the center, 1 to 2 minutes.
Today I just baked the eggs and cooled and froze them with out making then into sandwitches.
I can try that too. One of our customers said she cracks her extra eggs into baggies and freezes them. That's worth a try too. I'm at an average of 17 per day now. Holy moly.....
Their good for baking that way. 5-8na day letting the duck eggs in the nest hoping one of them get the idea. 15 in there so far.
If my drake would figure things out, I'd hope for a broody. But as it stands, he's an idiot, so I am not counting on ducklings.
It's been too long since I've even looked at this thread. And now I remember why I stayed away. 
I really wish I had some fresh curds to try this...
I did do this one, and it made some of the best popcorn I've ever tasted.BACON LOVERS heres one for ya.
My Grams always made it like this.But no bacon bits or cheese.I crumble real bacon up in mine but skip the cheese.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup bacon grease
3/4 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
3 tablespoons bacon bits (optional)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)
Directions:
1.
Measure the bacon grease into a 6 quart pot and place over high heat. Add one or two popcorn kernels as testers. When the test kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn and cover with a lid. As the popcorn starts to pop, shake the pan back and forth constantly to keep the unpopped kernels on the bottom where they can pop. When the popping slows down, remove the pan from the heat and let it finish popping.
2.
Pour the popcorn into a large bowl or paper sack. Season with half of the seasoned salt and stir. Taste before adding more salt if desired. Toss with bacon bits and shredded Cheddar cheese for an extra special treat. Store leftovers in lunch sacks or sandwich bags.
Psssh James, they would be all melted and gross by the time they got there. You should have reminded me while it was cold out. Because I forgot. oops.
CJ women to with me to the gun shop to get my AR. When he got in the car, the door squeaked. He said "Wow, squeaky door. Hey that reminds me, when can we have more squeaky cheese?"
If you're trying to make me feel bad, it's not working. Nice try though.
