Effortless Roast, Potatoes and Vegetables
(I often make this when I come home from a night shift)
Take a roast out of the freezer. (Use roast beef or pork roast.) Put in slow cooker (yes, it is still frozen solid.)
Use a can of mushroom gravy or mushroom soup, and one packet of onion soup mix.
Add some medium sized new potatoes (rinse them off first) and some peeled carrots.
Add about 3/4 cup of water.
Set the slow cooker on low. Go to bed. Wake up at 5 pm for night shift. Dinner is ready.
Baked beans
Soak 2 cups of dry navy beans in water overnight.
Next morning, rinse the beans, add to slow cooker.
Add a quarter cup of molasses, half a cup of ketchup, a tablespoon of mustard and a chopped onion. Stir all ingredients together.
Add about 4 cups water.
If desired add some chopped up bacon. Leave it out if you prefer a meatless meal.
Set the slow cooker on low and let cook for several hours. (It may be necessary to stir the ingredients a few times during the cooking process.)
Take one pork tenderloin. Wrap in one pound package of bacon. Throw in several cloves of garlic. Cook on high for 2 to 3 hours.
bouquet garni, can get them in teabags, if youre using a slow cooker you can drop them in to infuse then fish the bag out when its done.
gives a herb boost to anything youre cooking.
