Sunday is a slower paced day for us. Between church and Sunday naps the last thing I want to do is spend a lot of time in the kitchen. For that reason, I love the slow cookers. I have 3 of them. I can throw stuff in, go to church, come home and my house smells amazing! Today, I looked in the freezer, found a deer roast and a small package of elk steaks to cook.
Here's what I did. I took a bunch of those cute, little red potatoes that we got in our
Bountiful Basket, threw in some baby carrots, and cut up one of the onions that we also got in our basket.
The potatoes were already pretty small, so I didn't cut them or anything, just threw them in whole. Then I sprinkled some italian seasoning on all that. Next, I put the meat on top.
One of the great things about this, I didn't even need to defrost it, I put it in frozen. Sprinkled some seasoning salt and pepper on there, put the lid on and turned it on high for about 4 hours. When we got home from church I put it on low for about another hour while we got ready to eat and waited for my husband to get home.
Verdict: You can see from the first picture that I paired this with a green salad. I'm not a big meat eater and half of my kids aren't either, so we really enjoyed the carrots, potatoes, and salad. My husband and my other two kids really enjoyed the meat. Next time I need to cook more potatoes. Also, I love that I was able to use so many things from my basket. My goal is to use all of it before we get our next one.
