All recipes based on serving 6 people...adjust accordingly (please don't make me do math)
What you'll need...
3-4 lb beef roast with a smaller amount of fat marbled through meat
1 medium size yellow onion chopped coarse
2 large potatoes cubed, skin on
2 carrots split in half lengthwise and chopped (or 1/2 bag of baby carrots)
2 bay leaves (a must)
1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
1 tbsp coarse sea salt
Rinse roast in cold water, pat dry with paper towels. Place roast in 8 qt slow cooker, place onions, potatoes, carrots, salt, pepper and bay leaves. Fill slow cooker 3/4 full with water, turn on high. Cook for 6-7 hours. Serve hot with biscuits (recipe below) or Jiffy cornbread. Easy as pie, cheap as heck...but your kids will have full tummys.
Biscuits
2 cups flour (UNBLEACHED)
1/2 tsp sea slat
4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar (brown sugar is good too)
1/2 cup butter or shortening (butter is better)
2/3 cup of milk
Preheat oven to 425.
Put all dry ingerdients into bowl, stir. Cut in softened butter or shortening, stir until it looks like a coarse meal, add milk, stir until there is a ball around the fork. Turn the ball onto a lightly floured surface, knead a few times, roll out. Use a round cookie cutter or juice glass to cut out biscuits. Place on a greased cookie sheet, make sure they are touching eachother. Bake for 15-20 min. These are sooooooooooooooooooooo good! They are awesome with homemade jam too!
