Slow Cooking Thursday: A Kid's Pick

Whether you're a Workerette juggling a job outside the home, an at-home mom, a work-at-home mom or all of the above *yikes!*, you've probably wondered if a slow cooker would be useful for you.  I'm personally learning that the answer is a resounding YES!

Even if you aren't a mom (or perhaps, are a gramma or great-gramma), planning ahead can only be a good thing.  It makes the budget a little less likely to break, the days a little more efficient, and with recipes like the ones these ladies are sharing, it can make dinner healthier and/or tastier!

One of the things I enjoy about using my Crock Pot is that a lot of the recipes are good for including my daughter in the process.  (As a cook, not an ingredient, of course.  heehee)  So just for fun, I decided to let her choose this week's recipe.  

Here's what looked good to her almost-seven-year-old tastebuds: 

Shredded Beef Sandwiches (or as she says, "it's a hamburger with only meat that I would gobble right down!")

What You Need:

  • 1 boneless beef roast (approx 3 lbs)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1/3 C white vinegar
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 12 hamburger buns, split

What To Do:

  • Cut roast in half and place in slow cooker.
  • Combine onion, vinegar, bay leaves, salt (if using), cloves, and garlic powder; pour over roast.
  • Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours or until meat is very tender.
  • Discard bay leaves.
  • Remove meat and shred with a fork; serve on buns.

This one serves 12, obviously.  Good to set aside for BBQ season for sure - or if you've still got winter weather, it'd warm you up on a chilly night!

Yummy!

Glad your daughter is not an ingredient! lol
Yum, beef is so tender cooked in the slow cooker.

Sounds Great!

Sounds really good, thank you for sharing :)

I like the sound of this! Is it tangy? Would it work paired with rice and veggies?
