Easy Slow Cooker Italian Roast

 I love to use my Crock Pot in the summer time cause it is too hot to use the oven.  So, when I want something that is not grilled, I use my slow cooker!  This is an easy dinner to make and is also a great meal on a cold winter's night!  


This is quick and easy to prepare; about 10 minutes.  Let it slow cook on low about 8-10 hours and you will have a tasty, fall apart roast with a rich sauce!

Easy Slow Cooker Italian Roast

2 to 2 1/2 lb beef pot roast
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper
4 1/2 oz sliced mushrooms (fresh or canned)
1 small onion sliced (you can dice if you prefer)
24 oz. spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup red wine
Hot cooked pasta

Combine salt, garlic powder and pepper, rub into all sides of roast.  Place in slow cooker.  Top with mushrooms and onions.  Combine sauce and wine, pour over meat and vegetables.

Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours or until meat is tender.  Slice roast and serve over pasta with the sauce.   

Easy, peasy!  Hubby added more salt and pepper (below) to his.

Deconstructed Beef Kabobs

Did you know:  The name “Kabob” comes from the Turkish word "sis kebap" meaning served on the skewer.

Kabos are a Summer staple but who says you can't have them year round!?  I was in the mood for kabobs and the Hubby was at work.  I don't like cooking on the grill, that is the Hubby's job.  So, I decided I was going to try something new!

A few months ago, I had made up a marinade recipe for beef kabobs for the Hubby to make on the grill.  I used this recipe for the marinade. 

I used Worcesterchire sauce, soy sauce, olive oil and other ingredients (recipe below) to make the marinade.  You can use this marinade for just about anything!

I sliced, cut and chopped up the vegetables.  Some were fresh from the garden!  Those are the best! I used yellow squash, zucchini, onions, peppers and Little Potatoes.  Of course, you can use any veggies you want!  I threw them all in the bowl and tossed them with some of the marinade.  My squash and zucchini were so big, I ended up quartering them.

I then started trimming and cutting the stew beef.  Once it was cut, I threw it into the marinade and combined it. 

I then poured the beef and marinade in the bowl with the veggies and mixed it until everything had a good coating.  After I put the lid on. I gave the bowl a good shake put it in the fridge for 5 hours.

For the marinade, you may want to increase or decrease the amounts of ingredients depending on the amount of food you want to marinate in it.

For the beef, I used stew beef because that is what I had on hand.  Beef kabob is commonly cut from the sirloin but can come from any tender cut.

After 5 hours (you can marinate anywhere from 1-6 hours or even overnight!) I preheated the oven to 400*, sprayed a baking sheet with cooking spray and arranged the beef and veggies in a single layer.  I let it bake for 40 minutes.  

It was so good, there weren't even any leftovers!

Mississippi Roast

This is, without a doubt, the best pot roast I ever made.  I made this for dinner and it was my husband, daughter, her boyfriend and myself.  I made a homemade gravy using the sauce and served it with mashed potatoes and green beans.  There was not a drop of food left!  And with just 5 ingredients, it is so easy to make!

It comes out so juicy and tender.  It is a fall apart, melt in your mouth chunk of deliciousness!  As a matter of fact, it just came right apart when I took it out of the Crock Pot.

So. the recipe calls for  pepperoncini peppers but I forgot to pick them up.  So. I had some roasted red peppers that I used instead.

April's Marinated London Broil

This past week, my Husband and I bought this great, thick cut of London Broil.
 I wanted to do something different with this beautiful piece of meat and decided to make my own marinade for it.  So, I gathered up some ingredients and did just that!

I started by peeling and chopping up the baby onion.  I then combined it, the lemon juice, balsamic vinaigrette, olive oil, thyme, minced garlic, and oregano in a medium bowl.

Once this was well blended, I poured the mixture into a ziplock bag.   I then pierced the london broil 6 times each on both sides with a fork. Then placed the meat in the bag.

I let this marinate in the refrigerator for about 24 hours.  I flipped the London Broil over in the morning to let the juices flow through to the other side.

This is how it looked before I put it in the oven.  I sprinkled on the salt and pepper before placing it in the oven.  It was so aromatic I just knew it was going to be delicious!

 I broiled it for 6 minutes on each side and it came out perfectly rare!

It was so mouth-watering delicious, packed full of flavor.  This piece of meat  was nice and juicy, tender and melted in your mouth!  I served it with Roasted Potato Wedges (recipe)

April's Marinated London Broil

INGREDIENTS:

1 Baby Onion; peeled and chopped

3 Tbsps Lemon Juice

3 Tbsps Balsamic Viniagrette

1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tsp Thyme Leaves (or 2 tsp fresh Thyme)
1 1/2 tsp Minced Garlic (or 4 cloves; minced)
1 Tsp dried oregano (or 1 Tbsp Fresh oregano)
1-2 lbs London Broil  (Mine was about 1 1/2 lbs)
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 Tsp Pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Combine first 7 ingredients in medium bowl then pour into zip lock bag.  Pierce London Broil with a fork 6 times on each side; add to bag, seal.

Marinate in refrigerator overnight, flipping over in the morning.

Preheat broiler.

Remove meat from bag, place on broiler pan.  Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.  Broil 4 inches from heat for 6 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.  Let stand 10 minutes.

Gluten Free Beef Stew - Crock-Pot

Hello, everyone.  So, I was getting gluten free beef stew ready to go in the crock pot this morning. I kept thinking...."I should share this in my Facebook group." So, when I was done, I went to my blog and Pinterest and saw that it has been 11 months since I last used them!   

My son has celiac disease and so, I have to find ways to make different food gluten free.  Sometimes this is pretty easy like this one for Beef Stew.

Who doesn't love Beef Stew on a cold, winter's evening?  It is such an awesome, warm me up,, comfort food!

So, Step one is to brown your meat in a pan on the stove then transfer to Crock-Pot.

I love my meat rare so, I left mine a little red knowing it would cook more in the Crock-Pot.

Step 2 is to boil all your spices and minced garlic in the same pan as you browned your meat  Yummmmm!!!   Doesn't that look good! 

Step 3 is to reserve some of the liquid, pour the rest in the slower cooker and add your veggies.  So, I have to tell you;  my mother and father used to work at a seafood restaurant (where the best chicken wings were served) in our area.  The owner always said to use ALL of the celery stalk including the leaves.  The only parts you don't use is the very ends and the parts that are brownish.  That was almost 30 years ago and I have done it ever since.

In step 4 you will be making and adding your gravy to your stew.
You will be adding the cornstarch to the reserved liquid and whisking it until it is the consistency of gravy.

So, one day, I wanted to make gravy and had no flour or a way to the store.  I called my mother to ask if they had any.  my father answered the phone, Mom wasn't home and had the car.  My Dad, who was a cook in the Army, told me to use cornstarch in place of the flour.  I love using the cornstarch because, it doesn't clump up as much as flour.

Did you know Crock-Pot is a brand name.  If it doesn't say "Crock-Pot"  it is a slow cooker.  Mine is a Crock-Pot.

                                 Crock-Pot® The Original Slow Cooker

    4 c            Water                              2 Cloves Minced Garlic

    Pan Spray for browning meat           1/4 tsp Salt

    3 tbsp       Corn Starch                     1/4 tsp Pepper

Directions:1)  Spray bottom of pan, sear beef, transfer to slow cooker.

2)  Add 4 cups of water to pan, all spices and garlic.  Bring to boil, stirring frequently.

5)  Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
