When we have pot roast, we get this potroast "kit" that Tyson makes from Walmart. It is so convenient because in the "kit" is everything you need.....the meat, potatoes, carrotts, ect. The only thing is, whenever we cook it, my hubby does it all. So I have no idea how to do it. But if you can find one of those kits, I am sure there are directions on the box. Hey, if my hubby can do it, anyone can do it! :p :p :p

By the way, Cindy, I made those enchiladas last night and they were FABULOUS! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. My grocery store did not have the Wolf Chili, however. They only had Hormel chili. So I got that, but the chili was a little bland. Next time I am going to use the kind with tobasco sauce in it, since hubby and I like spicy things. But it is a recipe that I will definately use again! Thanks! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I know! I really only took me about 15 minutes to prepare. I like the fact that there are only a few ingredients. I hate going to the store to buy ingredients to cook something and it ends up being more than we would have spent if we went out to dinner!

lol.. i know....

I love meatloaf, yummy yummy in my tummy! Mine is just a simple one: 2 lb hamburger, crackers, egg, tomato paste and a little bit of onion soup mix. Told you I didn't care for cooking that well. But the guys love it, at least they told me they did. :)

[Jlynn]

That's pretty much how I do it too. I use onion salt instead of onion soup though.

MY pot roast is fairly simple too. I just cube some potatoes and cut some carrots throw the roast and the veges in the crockpot cover with water and let it go. I put a lot of salt and onion salt in it too. I don't like real onions so that's why I use onion salt so much. OH and most people wait til the end to put the veges in but I don't they do get softer but I just don't want to go back at the end and put them in. Oh and don't forget to save the water/juices and make gravy. I usually make it on the weekend and will put it on high in the morning and we will eat a late lunch with it then have leftovers for dinner as well.

Roast mashed potatos and corn is one of my favorite meals!!

That's how I do my roasts too!! We must have went to the same cooking school....LOLOL I don't like onions either, blah! But I am going to try the onion salt. Since I don't really like cooking that well, I usually cook the same stuff all the time. With all these new recipes, most are so easy.. I am going to try quite a few that have been posted. I just copy and pasted them in my Word and printed them out on index cards.

Have you guys ever tried the lipton onion soup mix in it it's yummy i just throw a roast in the crock pot put a little water in and put in a pack of the lipton onion soup mix it flavors it without all the onions (but i love onions) it's so good!!

[Janet]

I've never put a whole packet in, but I have put probably about a tablespoon or so. I'm just not big on the onion flavor, but the boys are.

[Amber_lv]

I love onions so much we eat them in everything!! LOL i eat it like an apple if i could lolo

[Janet]

My son loves onions too. He even takes them off of his sandwiches so he can geet their full flavor all by themselves. He sure didn't get that from me.

I have never been much of a meat loaf fan but loved this Meatloaf recipe by Emeril...YUMMY!

2 TBSP butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 tsp minced garlic, plus 1 tsp
1 tsp chopped thyme leaves
1 tsp chopped rosemary
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 cup ketchup, plus 1/4 cup
2 TBSP plus 1 tsp worchestershire sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 pound ground chuck
1/2 pound pork sausage (breakfast sausage)
1/2 pound ground veal
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp plus 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 slices bacon, cut in half
2 TBSP white or red wine viegar
1/2 cup canned tomatoes, chopped or crushed

In a large skillet heat butter over med.-high heat till melted. Add all but 1/4 cup of onions, the celery, and all but 2 TBSP of the bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegies are softened and starting to caramelize, about 6 min's. Add 2 tsps of the garlic, thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Cook for 2 min's. Remove from heat.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

When vegie mixture is cooled, transfer to a mixing bowl and add the eggs, mustard, 1/4 cup of ketchup, 1 tsp worchestershire sauce, and heavy cream. Mix until thouroughly combined. Add the breadcrumbs, ground chuck, sausage, veal, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper and mix till combined. Do NOT overmix. Transfer meat mixture to a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan and using your hands, form mixture into a loaf shape. Arrange the slices of bacon on top of meatloaf.

In a small saucepan combine the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup, remaining worchestershire sauce, salt, pepper, vinegar, and canned tomatoes. Bring to a boil and over med-high heat cook until thickened, about 5 min's.

Pour the sauce over the uncooked meatloaf and bake for 1 hour, or until the bacon and sauce are slightly caramelized on top. Remove from oven and cover loosely w/ aluminum foil. Let stand for 10 min's before serving to rest.

I served this w/ homemade Mac and Cheese, steamed pea pods. I don't recall what desert I had. :)

My favorite meatloaf recipe is a "little bit of this, a little bit of that" - no measuring! I take 1 pound of ground deer burger (or beef), add a package of onion soup mix, a splash of Moore's marinade, a couple dashes of garlic powder, a couple dashes of Tony's, one egg, and enough bread crumbs to hold it all together. Mix well, and bake on 350 degrees for about 45 minutes - YUM!! I also fix mashed potatoes and green beans and sometimes, brussel sprouts.

[Janet]

:) I love meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I mix them together sometimes or just pile the potatoes on top the meatloaf. Brussel sprouts are wonderful!!! I've never had any fresh, but I love the frozen one with butter, yummy!

Horseradish Meatloaf

2 pound Ground chuck or sirloin
3/4 cup Oatmeal
1 Oinion
1/2 cup of Catsup
1/4 cup of Milk
2 Eggs
1 tablespoon Horseradish
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teasponn Pepper


1/2 cup of Catsup
1 Tablespoon of Horseradish for glaze
3 tablespoon Brown sugar
2 teaspoon Mustard (prepared) or Dijion mustard



Combine first 9 ingredients;shape into 2 7.5 x 4" loaves. Place on a lightly greased rack of a broiler pan;bake at 350 degrees for 40 min. Combine 1/2 cup of catsup, 1 tablespoon horseradish and remaining ingredients; spoon over meatloaf and bake an additional 5 min.



I usually just make one big loaf instead of the 2. Then i usually cook it for a good hour or so. Put the topping on and just stick it back into the oven till the sauce has make a nice glaze. I have to admit that I thought it would be nasty with a sweet glaze but man was I wrong. It is really good and it is a nice change from the typical tomato sauce. I usually boil a few red potatoes to go with it or either I mash them. Makes for a good meal!
