WELCOME

Welcome to this slow cooker/crockpot blog. I believe slow cookers are the best thing to happen to modern day cooks. I used mine often when I worked outside the home and continue to do so even in retirement. It is so nice to put food on and forget about it. Slow cookers also allow us to cook many things we would normally have to use the oven for; what a relief in hot Texas weather! Some of these recipes are mine, many are ones I have collected over the years.

CROCK-POT SWISS STEAK DINNER

1 1/2 lbs beef round steak cut into 6 pieces
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
8 new red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into fourths
1 lb whole baby carrots
1 med onion, sliced
1 can diced Italian-style tomatoes, undrained
1 jar homestyle beef gravy
fresh parsley, chopped; optional

Spray a 12-inch non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper over beef pieces. Cook meat 6-7 minutes, turning once, until browned.

Layer potatoes, carrots, onion and beef in 4 - 5 qt crock-pot or slow cooker. Mix tomatoes with gravy and spoon over meat in slow cooker. Cover, and cook on low setting for about 8 hours or until meat and vegetables are tender. Sprinkle each serving with chopped parsley, if desired.

Makes 6 servings.

This is an okay recipe for diabetics as it has a great protein to carb ratio. Per serving: 27 g protein and 20 g carbs.
