Pulling out the Crock

September 20, 2009

I decided to dust the cobwebs off of my good ole’ crock pot this morning! My mom got it for me years ago. It used to get quite the workout. Not only are crock pot meals deliciously yummy, but they are wallet friendly too! And, in this economy you really can’t ask for anything more.  On the menu today – beef roast with red onions, potatoes, mushrooms and peppers in a red wine sauce.

The ingredients:

• 2lbs. beef sirloin
• 2 red peppers
• 3 red potatoes
• 1 red onion
• 1pk baby mushrooms
• 1pl beef crock pot seasoning
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup red wine (Louis Jadot, Beaujolais Villages, 2007)
• Angle Hair Pasta

Price tag: $15.78 (wine purchased separately)

Beef Roast a la Crock Pot

And, the final product….

Really Yummy!

I will be enjoying this meal as I watch the Emmy Awards tonight! I have another crockpot creation coming up later this week, so stay tuned!
