That would work, only I think crockpotting would ruin it more than it
already was thought to be by a little over cooking.

I'd cut off the ribs and freeze those for another dish. Next I'd trim
away the big chunks of fat for bird food, coarse grind the
entire thing, brown it well in a big heavy pot to give that
pussy-wussy meat some flavor and proceed to layer upon layer build a
pot of chili... skim the excess fat as it accumulates. Eat how much
you want, chili freezes well. With different seasoning it can also
become sloppy joes, or American chop suey can be very good. I like to
include diced green bell pepper and serve with worschestershire...
there are many recipes but mainly it's beef noodle caserole

I bet I can turn that hunk of beef into a wonderful lasagna... if I
felt ambitious I can make some succulent potato beef k'nishes.

Didn't consume but like half that nine pound so-called Premium Grade
store brand ham, no one liked it, not my guests, not me, not my cats.
This morning I sliced as much meat as I could off the bone in large
chunks and tossed them and the bone outside in my back yard... wasn't
a minute a murder of crows congregated for a union meeting... crow
traffic was more busy than Ohare and not one terrorist on the ground
or in the air... crows are actually quite polite, they don't squabble.
It's a bit dark now to see but I don't think they could have flown off
with that bone but they sure had a blast pecking it to death. If it's
still there some nocturnal carnivore is sure to find it and drag it
off tonight. The price of a ham has no bearing on it's worth, from
now on only the cheapo Cook's brand, never burned by one yet and I've
been making 2-3 a year for a long time.
