Crockpot Roast with Ginger-ale Mushroom Onion Gravy

Ingredients:

3 pound sirloin tip roast

Grease the inside of your crock pot with Crisco. Place the roast in the crock pot. Whisk together the rest of the ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Pour over the roast, cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Slice and serve with mashed potatoes or cooked rice.

BBQ Cornbread Waffle Sandwich

No buns? No bread? No Problem! Just whip up some waffles using cornbread batter and use the waffles as your buns.

Use your favorite BBQ beef or pork to top the cornbread waffles, top with additional BBQ sauce and French’s french fried onions.

Here’s the recipe I used for the cornbread waffles:

1 1/4 cup self rising flour
3/4 cup self rising cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup milk or half & half
1/4 cup cooking oil

Whisk together the above ingredients in a mixing bowl. Make waffles according to your waffle maker’s instructions.

Crockpot Main Dish

Crockpot Balsamic BBQ Beef

This is a delicious crockpot bbq recipe with a surprise secret ingredient. Read on to find out what it is… I saw a recipe on Pinterest for Balsamic shredded beef which I started out to make, until I realized that I was out of brown sugar. Time to improvise. 😉 So I started scrounging around in the pantry and fridge for an ingredient to substitute for the brown sugar. I settled upon something sweet and brown and one of my favorite things to eat. Once I had dumped all the ingredients into the crock pot, put the lid on, and turned it to low, I ran out the door and headed to work. When I returned home, I took the roast out of the crock pot and shredded it. I spooned about 1/2 cup of the liquid from the crock pot over the beef. Fat by itself would be a terrific dinner but I had barbecue on the brain so I dumped in some sweet baby rays barbecue sauce and mixed it in. I wrapped up the barbecue in a low carb wrap with some shredded cheddar cheese and some French’s fried onions. This was truly the best crock pot balsamic barbecue beef I have ever had. Give this recipe a try and if you like it share it with your friends pin it on your Pinterest board.

Crockpot Balsamic Barbeque Beef

Ingredients:

4-5 pound chuck roast
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup apple butter
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Your favorite bbq sauce. I love Sweet Baby Rays or Sonny’s Sweet Sauce

Directions:

Coat inside of Crockpot with nonstick spray (I coat mine with Crisco)
Cut all the fat off of roast and place into Crockpot. Add the rest of the ingredients except the barbeque sauce. Spoon the liquid over the roast, put the lid on the Crockpot and cook on low for about 8 to 10 hours.

When the meat is tender enough to separate with a fork, remove from crock and put in a casserole dish. Slice the roast crosswise into 2 inch thick slices then shred the meat with 2 forks.

Spoon a few spoonfuls of the liquid from the Crockpot over the meat to moisten it. You could just eat it like this or if you like, pour barbeque sauce over and mix it in. Serve on buns, garlic Texas toast or, my favorite way, on a low carb wrap.

(I make my famously yummy low carb bbq wraps with bbq beef, shredded cheddar cheese and French’s fried onions. Wrap it all up and dig in. It’s soooo good! )

Beef Mushrooms Steak

Pepper Rubbed Beef Dijon

1-pound flank steak, all visible fat removed
2 teaspoons coarsely cracked black pepper
Vegetable oil spray

2 green onions, sliced
1/2 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Rub cracked pepper onto each side of the steak. Place steak on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 to 5 inches from the heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and broil meat about 5 minutes more, or until desired doneness.
Meanwhile, spray a medium saucepan with vegetable oil. Place over medium heat. Cook mushrooms, green onions and garlic in skillet until mushrooms are just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour. Add milk and mustard all at once. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly.
