RIVAL CROCK POT RECIPES POT ROAST RECIPES

Steps:

• Rub pork roast with salt and pepper.
• Make tiny slits in meat and insert slivers of garlic (or just sprinkle on some garlic powder).
• Place in broiler pan and broil about 15-20 minutes to remove excess fat. Check frequently.(I oftentimes just brown on all sides in frying pan).
• Mix hot water and soy sauce.
• Put one sliced onion in bottom of crockpot.
• Add browned pork roast and remaining onion and other ingredients.
• Cover and cook on high for 4 or so hours. (This is how long it takes in my Westbend slow cooker). Low setting would probably be 6-8 hours.
• To thicken gravy: Remove roast to serving platter. Blend 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water to form a smooth paste. Stir well and let come to a boil. Doesn't get too thick which is how we like it).

Steps:

• Crumble the ground beef into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Add taco seasoning and water; simmer for 15 minutes over low heat.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the salsa, cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup. Mix in most of the cheese, reserving 3/4 cup for later.
• Place a layer of tortillas covering the bottom of a slow cooker. Scoop a layer of the ground beef over that, and then spoon a layer of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layers until you run out of stuff, ending with a layer of tortillas on the top. Top with remaining cheese.
• Cover, and cook on High for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
