Crock~pot Beef Roast

 

I forget how easy a meal can be to put together with a crockpot! This was the best roast, and so easy! I didn’t have a package of onion soup mix, so I made up some with the recipe below. It was kind of fun hammering the bouillon cubes!

Crock~pot Beef Roast

1 can Dr Pepper

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 package onion soup mix*

1 tablespoon oil

Heat a skillet and pour 1 tablespoon of oil in it. Brown roast on all sides in the skillet. Place roast in crockpot.

In a bowl mix the Dr Pepper, cream of mushroom soup and onion soup mix with a whisk. Pour over roast and cover with lid. Cook on low all day.

 

Homemade Onion Soup Mix*

3/4 cup instant minced onion

1/3 cup beef bouillon powder

4 teaspoons onion powder

1/4 teaspoon crushed celery seed

1/4 teaspoon sugar

Combine everything and then store in an airtight container. 5 tablespoons of the mix equal one package of onion soup mix.

Turkey Sliders Recipe

 

I found this recipe over at Snack Girl and it sounded so yummy! I was craving meat, so I decided to give it a try. I don’t eat meat very often and I’m not a huge beef fan so turkey sounded perfect and low fat!

Turkey Sliders Recipe

(makes 11 sliders)
1 pound ground turkey
3/4 cup chopped scallions, I used green onions
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 1/2 teaspoons orange zest
2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 limes cut into quarters

Place all of the ingredients (except the lime) in a small mixing bowl and, using your hands, gently mix until everything is evenly incorporated. Form into a patty and make a small indentation about the size of a dime in the middle of each side; handle as little as possible: do mot work more than necessary.

Place a cast iron skillet over high heat and when it is hot but not smoking, add the burger to the dry pan. Cook until well seared on both sides, about 5 minutes. Garnish with the lime quarter.
