Recipes worth sharing
All of this reading about food made me hungry and got me to thinking about things I like to cook, or haven't made in a while. I thought I'd see how a thread for sharing recipes would go over....I, for one could always use a new idea for dinner.
My favorite to throw together quickly in the morning before work and have it ready when I get home is this roast recipe - guaranteed to be tender enough to fall apart every time...... ROAST Put roast into baking pan Sprinkle with seasonings Pour two cans of cream of mushroom soup over roast Sprinkle about 1 -2 tablespoons of worchestershire sauce over soup Cover tightly with foil Bake at 225 degrees for 8-9 hours. The soup and juices make a good gravy too. COLD VEGETABLE SALAD This salad is delicious. It doesn't taste like it sounds it might. I haven't met anyone who doesn't like it, the first time anyone tries it they always ask for the recipe - Drain and mix together 1 can each - corn, french style green beans, peas, and ranch beans (rinse the beans - can also use chili or kidney beans instead). Add 1 cup each - chopped white onion, green pepper, celery, and shredded carrots. Mix in seperate bowl - 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup oil, 1/3 cup cider vinegar. Mix until sugar is dissolved and pour over veggie mix. Stir well, refrigerate 24 hours, stirring occasionally. Keeps well in fridge for a few days. (I'd really love some mexican dish recipes - casseroles or whatever!) Last edited by Brett's Honey; 07-22-2005 at 10:23 PM. |

Have you ever made the above mentioned roast in a crock pot? I'm nervous about leaving my roast in the oven all day. Also... what cut of meat do you use - like which roast?

I have never tried that in the crock pot, the reason I tried the recipe the first time was because I had a several months long spell when every time I cooked a roast it was kind of tough. I used roasting bags and the crock pot, and tried more expensive cuts of meat and couldn't seem to do anything right to end up with a tender roast. Maybe my crock pot doesn't have a low enough setting - that is very possible since I have trouble keeping things like rotel dip from overcooking and almost boiling after a while if I don't keep a close eye on it. If your crock pot cooks at a temp close to about 225 - 250, I'd try it. (Or try it on a week-end or whenever you can watch it.) |

For an interesting variation on the roast, if you like garlic ... cut slits in the meat and shove peeled cloves of garlic into the holes.
Use lots and lots of garlic.
