Slow Cooker Recipe
Welsh Rarebit?
Chances are, you’re vaguely aware that there’s some kind of dish called Welsh Rarebit. Chances also are, you don’t have any idea what it is. What, exactly, is a rarebit? Is it Welsh? Does it involve rabbits?
We’ve got answers to your questions. Welsh Rarebit is warm, melted cheese, usually mixed with beer or ale, lightly seasoned, and served on some sort of toasted bread. A traditional Welsh Rarebit doesn’t contain rabbit or any other meat. As to whether or not there’s anything Welsh about it, beyond the name, food commentators are unwilling to commit themselves.
So there you have it. If you’d like to give it a try, here’s an easy slow-cooker version. Served over toast, this makes a really nice weekend evening meal, or even a hearty brunch entrée.

You could always use Welsh cheese and a Welsh beer to make sure it’s true Welsh Rarebit. This is the first recipe I’ve seen that hasn’t called for a rue to start. I’ll have to try it.
I have heard that Welsch Rerebit gives you colorful dreams due to the cheese content….
do you really cook it 1 to 2 hours until it boils?
It’s appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be pleased. I’ve read this post and if I could I wish to suggest you some interesting issues or guidelines. Perhaps you can write next articles referring to this post. I wish to read more things about it!
Welsh Rarebit is one of our family favorites. I have never made it without the rue either – can’t wait to try to this recipe in the crock pot!
