Real Time Cooking

This morning I am cooking a recipe submitted by Melissa H.  In fact, it even made it into our poll.  Here is her recipe:

Crock pot – pot roast (tastes like prime rib) 1 roast (rump, shoulder, etc… I find that it doesn’t matter) 1 package of dry italian dressing 1 cup of au jous 5 beef bullion cubes 2 + cups of water (fill crock pot 1/2 way up with water) Cook in crock pot on low heat for at least 8 hrs. This is great to start in the morning and have for dinner. The roast should fall apart when you take it out!

 

I am giving this a whirl, but I am cooking on high so it will be ready after church.  (Insert Lazy Mom Confession here:  I am not going to church.  Just Lazy Dad Daniel.  Which I guess means he is not so lazy today!  I am waching my sister’s kids while she is in BERMUDA — did you catch my jealous obnoxious tone?.  Anyway, that means I have 5 kids ages 2, 4, 6, 7 and 10 in my care.  Church just isn’t going to happen!)

Here’s how it looks at 7 a.m.bloglm-0011

I will come back to this post after lunch to post my after pictures so be sure to come check out how it turned out and what the family had to say about it!

It’s 9:00 now…here’s what we’ve got:bloglm-0051

In the words of Arnold, “I’ll be back!”

It’s high noon now.  Daniel will be back in about 30 minutes. The roast is falling apart good.  Thanks for submitting it, Melissa!blog-lm-0051

The green beans are on the stove.  Just need that yummy butter to melt.  blog-lm-0061

The only thing left to do is fix my Lazy Mom boxed mashed potatoes!!!

    o.k. … i may be a dumb-a, but i have to ask. what exactly is a cup of au jous? i’m guessing it’s the deliciousness that i dip my french dip in … but where does one buy said au jous? maybe i just misread the recipe. ???

    Tracy, you are right on about the au jous and you don’t have to make it. It will be in the crockpot when the roast is finished! It was great, by the way!!!

    The au jous you can add is found in the spice section at your grocery store. Sometimes it can come in a can form in the soup isle sometimes it is concentrated :)

    Thanks for trying the recipe!
