Nothing Like Dinner In A Crock Pot On A Busy Day

Today was one of those crazy days with lots to do. This time I actually planned ahead and pulled a roast from the freezer. This morning I got out the crock pot, and in 3 minutes you have a fantastic no fuss dinner that will be ready at the end of the day. Add some chabatta rolls, and fresh carrots and chips and you are good to go.

I make up little snack bags with the seasonings for a batch and write the remaining ingredients on a label and put it on the baggie. That way It takes even less time to prepare when I'm in a hurry. Just dump in the herbs, water and soy sauce and plug it in. :)




FRENCH DIP

3lb beef roast

2 cups water

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 tsp. each: rosemary, thyme, garlic powder

1 bay leaf

a few peppercorns

Place roast in slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients. Cook on high 5-6 hours or until meat flakes easily with a fork.

Remove roast from pot and flake meat, removing all fat. Place shredded meat on a chabatta roll, hoagie roll or other firm bun. Slice diagonally.

Strain broth. Add more water to taste (can be a bit strong without it) and pour into individual 1 cup bowls for dipping sandwiches.
