Just on a whim while getting some eggs and CBH at the grocery store for breakfast yesterday before going out disc golfing, I decided to get a crock pot dish going for when I get home all buzzed, tired, and hungry. I tried to remember the Mississippi Beef Pot Roast recipe thing, but I didn't want to cook a huge roast, so here's what I did:

Ingredients:

• 1 - 2.14 lbs. Roast (the smallest they had)
• 1 - can of carrots (drained)
• 2 - cans peeled potato's (drained)
• 1 - package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix (I only used 1/3rd of it)
• 1 - 14 oz. can beef broth (only used 1/2 of it)
• 1 - 1/4 stick of butter
• 3 - tblspn's EVO

Directions:

1. Empty potato's, then carrots into crock pot
2. Heat EVO to as hot as you can in a skillet
3. Brown the Roast on all sides, about 2 minutes per side
4. Place the roast on the potato's/carrot's
5. Add the 7 oz. beef broth
6. Sprinkle 1/3 of the pack of Ranch Dressing mix over all
7. Place 1/4 stick of butter on top of the roast
8. Close it up and cook on low for 8 hours

Oh my ****ing God was it good, and it was just enough for about 2-3 good large servings. The only thing missing was some bread, but I'll have that tonight with the remaining leftovers.

I might throw in a little Worcestershire sauce next time, but it really didn't need it.

Slow cookers are brilliant. Especially for cheap cuts of meat, they come out so soft you can cut it with a spoon.

Dam straight. It's been a while since I've made anything in the crock pot. I've been missing out.

Fried chicken tonight, on the tail end of a 40 hour marinade right now. These tenders are soaking in carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bell peppers (orange, red, and yellow), habeneros, jalapeños, limes, green onion, buttermilk, regular milk (to fill up the bowl), and just so so so many spices, the most important of which is chipotle powder.

Going to be cooking it with the mashed potatoes that I made on thanksgiving with cream cheese, sour cream, six cheeses, butter, chicken stock, garlic, and another spice cocktail.



Everyone who's had my fried chicken (ten or so people) says it's the best they've ever had.

We've been doing everything in the crock pot lately. Ever tried a Mexican lasagna? Insanely yummy.

40 hour marinade is a madting. What's the longest you could leave it for? Can't be much longer than that?

Frownland

Two days. I usually just do around 24 hours or prep it in the morning, this is just kind of how it worked into my schedule.

Yeah thought as much, that's how long I do it for.

Do you also let it rest in the seasoning before frying or toss it straight in whatever you cook it in?
