I knew that today would be a busy day. I did not know I would spend 2 hours on the phone with my internet provider trying to resolve a virus/spamming issue. I am so glad I started out early with my crock pot.
I have 2 small beef roasts in the crock pot(about 2 pounds each), with about 6 cups of water, a rib of celery, a slice or 2 of onion, 2 beef bullion cubes, a tablespoon of Italian seasoning and a dash or red pepper, and a package of baby carrots. These will simmer all day, then closer to supper time I will make mashed potatoes. To go with the potatoes, I will take about 4 cups of the liquid in the crock pot, strain it to get the solids out and simmer till reduced by about half. Then add a package of brown gravy mix and cook according to the package directions.
Mashed potatoes and gravy, roast beef and carrots will make a yummy meal tonight and I will use the leftover roast and gravy as a foundation for beef stew tomorrow night.
