Easiest Pot Roast Ever with Amazing taste

The smell of my steak seasoning reminded me of the smell of porketta, which is probably my favorite choice for meat. So I decided to try and use the seasoning on a roast. I wanted to be hands free all day so I chose the crockpot to do the cooking. Wow my house smelled amazing all day and the taste Oh My God it was to die for. It fell apart in your mouth and just had this unique delicious wonderful flavor. I used the leftovers to make soup the following day and Lord that was one amazing beef soup. Both recipes are here and require easy and few ingredients. Give it a try and tell me what ya think.


Crockpot Roast..so tasty you will never spend hours on another roast

Ingredients:
1 chuck roast
montreal steak seasoniong
garlic powder
water

1. Place chuck roast into the crock pot

2. Season roast with montreal seasoning. (be generous)

3. Now season with garlic powder (again be generous)

4. Turn roast over and season the other side in the same way
5. Add water to crock pot (just enough to come up around sides of roast.

6. Cook on low in crockpot till roast falls apart when you try to lift it with a fork

Serve with mashed potatoes and some baked corn on the cob.

(put leftover meat and juice in a container for tomorrows soup)

Day 2 Pot roast soup

You will need:
Bag frozen mixed veggies
sliced potatoes (you can use fresh, canned or I actually used the potatoes from a box of scalloped potatos.i hate boxed scalloped potatoes so i took out the bag of potatoes from the box and used that..dont like waste)
Box orzo noodles

1. Return meat and juices to crockpot and turn to high. Heat on high until juices are hot.
2. Add your frozen veggies and potatoes

3. Cook until everything is cooked thru
4. In meantime boil water for orzos, cook orzos until al dente and drain
5. Put a nice scoop of orzos in each bowl and top off with soup.

No seasoning is needed. not even salt, It is just so delish. Serve with some nice toasted croutons or garlic bread.

Meatballs by the campfire

We go camping alot and love to cook on the open fire! These are tasty and pretty simple. A nice change from burgers and dogs!


1 lb ground beef
1 egg
1/4 c bread crumbs (i use progresso)
about a t garlic powder
about 1/4 t pepper
1/4 c water
2 zucchinis cut lengthwise and then sliced across into 1/2 in pieces
2 cups spaghetti sauce (you can use jarred like rago or prego etc)
mozzerella cheese shredded
parmesan cheese, grated
garlic bread, garlic sticks or rolls
onion, sliced thin
green peppers, sliced thin



Mix beef, bread crumbs, egg, water and seasonings together. Shape into about 16 meatballs.

Place equal amounts of meatballs, zucchini, onions, and peppers in center of 4 tinfoil sheets. Pour about a half cup of sauce over each.

Fold short edges of foil over loosely to allow heat to circulate. Now fold other two edges in and seal shut.

Put meatball packets on a grill over hot ash covered coals. Allow to cook about 20 to 30 minutes, or until meatballs are no longer pink in centers and veggies are tender. Be sure to turn the packets once.

When finished unwrap packets, sprinkle with grated cheeses and either serve in the foil "bowls with bread or breadsticks to dip in sauce, or spoon out onto rolls and serve as a sandwich.
