Soo many recipes, soo little time!

I put a pork roast in the crock pot, add 1/2 white wine, 1/2 water, enough to cover roast halfway, then sprinkle Mrs Dash table blend on top. Cover and slow cook for 8 hrs.

Great flavor, this is the most moist and tender pork I've had!

Some additions I've added are crushed rosemary, minced garlic. Use your imagination and experiment!

The pot roast recipe is great too! I use a 3 lb chuck roast, 1 can golden mushroom soup on top, then sprinkle onion soup (dry) mix on top. Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hrs. Makes it own gravy.

My mom makes this alot. Put 4 cube/minute steaks in crockpot. Add 2 cans of golden mushroom soup, 1 can mushrooms, pcs and stems along with juice. I added some instant minced onion. Cover and cook 7 hrs on low. Makes gravy that is good on noodles or mashed potatoes.

Happy cooking!
