Crockpot Magic Best Dinner EVER!

September 26, 2011 by Ruthie

While we were eating this yummy little Crock-pot dish, I asked my family to think of a name for it…. they came back with all kinds of crazy ideas such as Crock-pot Surprise!! I, personally, think that sounded a little scary so, I vetoed it and all the others things that came out of their mouths!!

So, here I am at square one again, trying to think of a name for this really yummy dinner. It’s kinda like a beef gravy and over mashed potatoes, my son said, “that was the best dinner evvver!!” Maybe that should be the name… Best Dinner EVER!! ha, ha

Best Dinner EVER! (according to Jake)

Best Dinner EVER

1 can cream of mushroom soup (I like lowfat)
1 C water
1 package of onion soup mix
4-5 petite sirloin

Spray pan and brown sirloin on stove, over med heat. Combine soup, water, onion soup mix in Crock-pot, add browned beef. Cook on low 6 hrs, high 3 hrs. Before serving shred sirloin with 2 forks. Serve over mashed potatoes or noodles.

Mix soup, water, onion soup mix in Crock-pot

Brown meat and add to Crock-pot

Cook on low 6 hrs, shred with 2 forks

*** I leave the skins on my mashed potatoes… not because I’m a lazy little cook but because there are good nutrients in the skins! I also think they look kinda cool that way… Gram would’ve laughed to see them like that though! I thought everyone probably knows how to make mashed potatoes but then this is a cooking blog so I figured I’d post it anyhow….

Mashed Potatoes

In a stock pot combine:
6-8 Potatoes- cubed
1 tsp Sea Salt
Add just enough water to cover the potatoes. Boil uncovered till soft (about 15-20 minutes) Pour out all but 1/2 C of water. Put pot in sink and with a hand mixer blend the potatoes.
Add:
1/4-1/2 C lowfat milk
2 Tbls butter
Salt and Pepper to taste

Gram use to put a pint of cream and a cube of butter in her mashed potatoes… no wonder they tasted amazing!! But mine are just as good and a lot healthier
