I had posted this on another thread but cannot repeat the recipe enough for anyone who has never tried it!

I have "adopted" a new recipe for Pot Roast in my CP that I LOVE...it makes its own gravy and it's just too yummy. I pick up a chuck roast from the store and then pick a day for that week when I know I need a "fix it and forget it" meal...and with the colder weather around the corner I know I'll make this one pretty often!

Lightly brown the roast on both sides in a skillet on your stovetop. I use pepper to add a little flavor while I'm browning.
Move the roast to the crock pot and add:
1 packet of dry onion soup mix (I've been using beefy onion)
2 cans of condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 1/2 cups of Coca-Cola (I'm sure you could use "any" cola drink)

Set on low for 11 hours. Serve with veggies and mashed potatoes, and hot biscuits! If you want, add sliced carrots and potato chunks to the mix when you are setting it up in the morning, and that way your potatos and veggies are already cooked, too. Mmm. Good stuff.

Sounds yummy..
Already cooked rice and it does not get mushy?

 

[Laura420]

No. Amazingly... I had thought the same thing, wierd right?
I like the pudding a little creamier, so I dont wait for all the liquid to get absorbed...
