It must've been from someone else, 'cause Santa hasn't delivered any presents yet.

Santa was right on time.  Christmas eve.

Then, on Christmas day, he gave me a crock pot slow cooker. 

I'm all set for hunkering down for winter meals.  Can't decide which to make first.  Chili or a nice roast beef.

What time is dinner served. YUM !

Leftovers tonight.

Trying to decide which appliance to use first.  A nice roast beef in the Showtime oven rotisserie or chili in the crock pot?

I have of late been using my crock pot for pot roasts. They sure come out tender and tasty.

My next crock pot adventure will be a pork roast for pulled pork. I was told most people use picnic hams for this but the butcher told me a butt end ham is better. Either will work.

Have fun with all the new toys.

Maybe I should do a pot roast.:0 Add potatoes, carrots, etc.  Yes!:)

Oh yes, I like when a plan comes together.

I'm gonna attempt this one, I think.  Looks easy enough.

Looks like a good recipe. I vary a little on mine. I don't use the soup mix. I use one or two cans of cream of mushroom soup condensed. No extra liquid. Sometimes I do use a can of Campbells french onion soup broth, in addition to the cream of mushroom. It looks like the roast is floating in liquid but I can reduce it later but I actually eat some of it as soup. I posted a picture here once of one I made. It looked funny to most as it looked like the chuck roast was taking a bath, but there was a a method to my madness.
Mainly though I use the Cream of mushroom.
I am sure the Marie recipe is excellent. That's the fun of cooking though trying different things.
Enjoy.

If you and the butcher say it is so then it is so.

"Pssst.. "

Pork Butt does NOT come from the hog's butt. It comes from it's shoulder.

The "higher" up on a hog you go, the better the meat, hence the term, "living high on the hog".  

It is also why the "butt" is better than the "picnic".

Butt of course
