CrockPot French Dip Sandwiches:
I honestly don't remember where this recipe came from. It's either Pinterest or my mom. I just know it by heart we have made it and loved it so many times. I brown the roast and start the cooker in the mornings and its done by dinner time with only about 20 mins of work total. This meal is great with a green salad or your favorite potato or macaroni salad.
Ingredients:
1 - 3-4 lb. chuck roast
Montreal Steak Seasoning
2 tsps olive oil
¼ C soy sauce
¼ C water
4 whole black peppercorns
2 C beef broth
½ tsp dried, crushed rosemary
½ tsp dried thyme
1 TBSP minced onion
2 tsp minced garlic
6-8 french rolls
6-8 slices of cheese, we like swiss
Instructions:
Remove excess fat from roast. Season all sides with Montreal Steak Seasoning (I make my own)
Brown in heavy pan with 2 tsp olive oil. Brown on both sides
Place in crock pot
Mix together soy sauce, beef broth, water, peppercorns, rosemary, thyme, garlic, onion
Pour mixture over roast.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6. Cook until tender and easy to shred.
Shred with a fork and the place on sandwich buns.
Strain remaining juice and use for dipping (if you like a thicker sauce put strained sauce in a pan and sprinkle with Wondra[magic flour] then cook till desired thickness)
Slow cooker Tater-tot Casserole:
The family loves it. I love how simple it is to make. I goes well by itself or with some fresh veggies. I found this recipe here.

1 (3 oz.)bag bacon pieces
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup milk
salt & pepper, to taste.
Instructions:
Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Layer half of the frozen tater tots on the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the bacon pieces. Now top with 1/3 of the shredded cheese. Add diced chicken on top. Season with salt & pepper. Now add 1/3 of the bacon pieces and another 1/3 of shredded cheese. Put the rest of the frozen tater tots on top. Finish with the remaining 1/3 cheddar cheese and remaining 1/3 of bacon pieces. Pour 3/4 cup milk all over the top. Cover and cook on low about 4-6 hours.
Lemon Garlic Chicken:

2 Tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
