Dinner Has Been Served

Slow Cooked Beef Roast with Veggies & Mashed Potatoes

• 2 1/2- 3" 3lb Beef Roast
• 2 T of flour, dust the roast
• 2 cups of water
• 2 large thinly slice onions
• 6-8 medium garlic cloves
• 1 celery stalk cut in 1 inch bits
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 6 Carrots
• 4 medium potatoes
• 1 lb of mushrooms
• 2 calabsitas sliced in 1/2" rounds (Mexican squash or zucchini)

You will need a slow cooker or you can put this in the oven. I have a 5 quart slow cooker with multiple cooking & time options. I love it.

Add the first 7 ingredients to the slow cooker...cook on low for 4 hours....then add remaining 4 ingredients and cook for additional 2-3 hours.
Note: I always purchase organic celery, potatoes & carrots...these veggies highly absorb soil toxins & pesticide residue.

Mash Potatoes

• 4 fully cooked potatoes
• 2 tbsp of butter
• 2 tbsp of sour cream
• salt & pepper

Pierce the potatoes with a fork to check for doneness. Put in a potato with the skin thru the potato ricer this leaves them really fluffy, discard skin & continue with the next potato till all potatoes have been mashed. Add the butter, sour cream, salt & pepper.

Garlic Bread

• French Bread
• Butter
• Garlic Powder
• Salt

Slice french bread long wise. Smear butter generously, sprinkle w/garlic powder & salt. Broil till top is lightly toasted. Yum.
