Prompt 2: favorite recipe
You must know, we love to crockpot. Especially when I'm actually working, it's so incredibly efficient and makes such yummy meals. We used to crockpot once a week. Now, not so much. Our favorite is pot roast. I don't exactly have a recipe per se. And definitely no measurements. More like...estimations.
Ingredients:
1 beef roast
Some potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
3 handfuls of frozen whole green beans
2 handfuls of frozen chopped carrots
1 can cream of something soup (I use whatever happens to be in the pantry, usually mushroom)
1 packet dry vegetable soup mix (onion soup mix works great, too)
Directions:
Put roast in the crockpot
Throw veggies on top
Pour soup and soup mix over and stir
Cook on low for 6-8 hours
Doesn't get much easier than that.
We also cook in substitutions. Don't have the "right" veggies? Throw anything in there. Almost everything tastes awesome in that sauce. The only thing I don't recommend is cauliflower. We tried that once, and we both thought that the flavor of it overpowered the other flavors. Sometimes we mash the potatoes instead of serving them cubed. Or, sometimes we don't have potatoes so I make biscuits to go with it instead. The only thing you really have to have is the roast. Without it, this is vegetable soup, which is also good, but not pot roast.
oooh... love pot roasts and beef stew type recipes. thanks for sharing yours!!
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy! I usually do ours with pototaos & carrots, and a packet of onion soup mix with some water added to keep it from drying out. But a can of cream soup sounds so much more yummy!
ReplyDeleteFunny - I was just about to get one going! Although it's too late in the day to do a crock pot so I'm just going to prep it and let family pop it in the oven later for an hour.
