Well, actually, it's Threefer Tuesday, but that didn't sound right, or as good as it could've if it was Thursday. So today's cooking included the following menu selections: Crock Pot Roast & Gravy, Cornbread Skillet Meal, and Baked Sweet Potatoes. Throw together a salad and slice some fresh fruit, and my family's good to go for the next few days.
Here they are, with Before and After photos:
Crock Pot Roast & Gravy
2-pound beef shoulder roast
1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom with Roasted Garlic soup
1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom with Roasted Garlic soup
1/3 soup can of water (swirl water around to get all the soup out!)
1 white onion, sliced into 8 or 10 hunks
Minced or powdered garlic
Salt & pepper to taste
Turn crock pot on high. Put your roast in and add in the rest of the ingredients. Cover and cook for about an hour. Turn meat over and stir juices so nothing sticks to the bottom. Cook for another hour on high. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 2 hours, or as long as you have until meal time. Cook preferred brand of brown or white rice. Slice meat in gravy and serve both over rice. Talk about mmm-mmm-good. Leftovers make for great sandwiches, poboys and/or pot pies too.
Baked Sweet Potatoes
Pour a little canola oil into your hand and rub into cleaned sweet potatoes. Wrap in foil. Place wrapped potatoes on a cookie sheet in case of drippage. Cook in a 300 degree oven for about 3 hours. Remove foil, slice open, and add butter. For a delicious 'tator treat, add cinnamon and sugar (or sugar substitute). Sweeeeeeet!
Cornbread Skillet Meal
2 boxes Jiffy Cornbread Mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup of milk
6 oz. grated cheese
1 pound lean ground meat

Pour mixture back into iron skillet and cook in oven at 400 for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot as a side or main dish. This is slap-ya-momma good!
