Slow Cooker Thursday~ To Die for Pot Roast & Pinto beans with ham
Thursday, March 8th, 2007
I feel like the poster girl for the crock pot… It seems like that is all I am talking about lately, but it is great, right? RIGHT!I love that Sandra is hosting the slow cooker Thursday and have been really enjoying reading and trying new recipes when I thought I had tried them all.
Last week I posted a recipe I had not yet tried and one that I make a lot… so I thought I would do the same this time. This first recipe I found on a food website and all the reviews rave about how wonderful it is. I have not made it yet because I haven’t found a good rump roast on sale yet, and I usually buy a couple when they look good & are a good price. Hopefully I will find one this weekend and can add this to my Menu next Monday!
To Die For Pot Roast
1 beef roast, any cut, to fit size of crock pot
1 Pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix
1 pkg. brown gravy mix
1 pkg. Italian Dressing mix
1/2 C. water
Combine mixes well and sprinkle over roast in pot. Pour water into bottom of pot. Cook on low for 6-7 hours.
Now for a tried & true crock pot recipe… by the way… I mentioned in my yesterdays WFMW post I got a new crockpot! yeah.
Pinto Beans & Ham
2 lbs. beans rinsed and drained well
water to cover beans plus a few inches over…
small boneless ham cut into chunks
1 onion, quartered
2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. sugar (my secret ingredient 
)
)salt & pepper to your taste
I put this in and let it cook on low all night (make sure there is enough water) and then add the ham in the morning and continue to let it cook on low until time to eat. YUM… great with cornbread & fried potatoes.
Head on over to Sandra’s and post your favorite slow cooker recipe!
