My Favorite Pot Roast

Three posts in one day?  No I haven't spent all day in the kitchen; I'm just been behind on posts and Corbin is already in bed (amazing since it's not even midnight yet) so I thought I would finish up the recipes I've done lately.  So when I think of comfort food lots of recipes come to mind.  Here is one that I love!  Pot Roast.  I found this recipe a while back in a Campbell's cookbook.  I've tried other recipes but I always seem to come back to this one.  So here is our comfort food for today. 

Savory Pot Roast

1 can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 pack of Lipton Onion Mix
1 can of sliced potatoes
1 can of carrots
1 3 1/2 to 4 pound boneless chuck pot roast

Place all ingredients in slow cooker.  Cover and cook on low 8 to 9 hours or until roast is done.

(Ok I confess-the recipe really calls for real potatoes and carrots but with a little one around I choose the quick way, canned vegetables.  And when I make it I use two cans of each so I'm sure that Corbin gets his fair share of potatoes and carrots).  When I made it this week Chris added some celery.  It was still yummy!  Hope you add this one to your recipe box too!

Buffalo Chicken Crock Pot Style

Ask and you shall recieve.  A least that's what happened the other day when I posted on my facebook wall that I was looking for a good recipe for the Crock Pot.  My elmentary school friend Adrian left me a comment for some Buffalo Chicken in the Crock Pot.  She said that if you love hot wings you will love this!  So I got out my trusty crock pot...


I love this thing!

Then I wrote down the recipe.  Pretty simple if you ask me. 

Buffalo Chicken Crock Pot Style

3-4 Chicken Breast
3/4 of a bottle of hot sauce (Frank's is our favorite)
1 pack of ranch dressing mix

Cook in crock pot for 6 hours on low.  At about hour 4 shred chicken and if you want an extra kick add a pinch of cayenne pepper.


We tried a new hot sauce...it's Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce

Hidden Valley Ranch Dip


Here is what it looked like in the crock pot

And this is our finished product.

So I'm kind of up in the air on this one.  Adrian said to serve this on hamburger buns with lettuce and tomatoes.  We did fix sandwhiches but I don't know this was just not my favorite recipe we've tried lately.  It had great taste, but I don't know about eating it on a bun.  It's like you are eating hot wings but then not so much.  I am very thankful for the recipe and I'm glad I tried it but not sure I will make it again.  So if you make this let me know if you liked it or not and how you ate it...maybe that will make a difference.
