I posted this in the Hunter's Campfire but should probably post it here as well cause it is delicious. Dogzapper taught me how to make this dish. I've always fried them but these are slow cooked in gravy and served over Basmati rice. Good stuff, the gizzards are so tender you can cut them with a fork. They were also darn tasty for breakfast this morning served over fresh biscuits. If they weren't so high in cholesterol I'd eat them every day. This is super easy to make. You just wash them off and then put them in the Crockpot with a package of gravy mix, I used Pioneer brown gravy mix but Steve said any gravy mix will do. Mrs. Dzapper said to put in a cup or so more water than what the gravy mix calls for which I did and then after they were done I let it boil off a bit to thicken the gravy. I threw them in the Crockpot last night before bed and let them cook on low overnight. I love fried gizzards but I must admit these are even better. $1.46 at Kroger for 2 lbs of gizzards and $.89 for the packet of gravy mix, that's cheap eats and it's darn good.

Looks great!
How long do you boil them to thicken the gravy?
Last batch of fried gizzards I made turned out tuff. This sounds way better!

Virgil B. I let them cook for about 12 hrs in the slow cooker. I have a crockpot with a removable ceramic pot and when they were tender I put it on the stove and brought it to a boil and let the gravy boil for 10 minutes or so until it thickened up a bit.

A slow cook of a mix of cream of mushroom and onion soup works very well too.

I am going to make that the way you and Miz Dogzapper say and see how it turns out. Then I believe I am going to do it with the additions that I thought of when I first looked at the picture. I believe some onion and celery would be good in there with the gizzards. Maybe throw in some mushrooms at the last too.

Cooked up my Gizzies last night in the crockpot, now I need to boil to thicken up.

ColKlink,
Am I reading this right?
Did you pull the ceramic pot out of you crockpot and put it directly on a burner?
Am thinking the ceramic pot would crack from the direct heat?
Put mine in an Analon pot to boil them, just in case.
Will add rice when I warm 'em up later today.

Virgil, Yeah, I put it right on the stove, it's a real heavy ceramic and ours is one of those glass type stovetops with the element under the glass. I've never thought about it cracking but maybe I should! Boggy Creek, I think those additions sound great, especially mushrooms. Yum. I hope y'all enjoy them, I thought they were great.

Ahhhh!
Thanks for clarifying. A glass top stove sounds lots safer.
Had my gizzies with rice for dinner last night. My Dogs had the leftovers.
We ALL thought it was GREAT! (YUM YUM!)

Virgil, . I've never thought about it cracking but maybe I should! They'll crack. I was trying to speed up making some rotel dip a few years ago on my glass top stove, and heard a pop, and she split wide open. I wouldn't reccomend it.

Well, I did this last night and I gotta say this is tasty! I did do a couple things different...
1 white onion roughly chopped 1 serrano pepper finely chopped 1/2 lb of mushrooms sliced
salt and pepper to taste
along with the original ingredients posted above...all in the crock on low overnight and served over rice with some hot sauce.
Tasty! When my roommate came home this morning from work, he told his gf that what she was cooking smelled great! In response to his question of what it is...she said, "You don't want to know."
Gave her a helping an hour ago and she actually liked it!
I'm also thinking about adding some sour cream to a leftover portion and serving with egg noodles.
Thanks for the recipe!
