Crockpot Roast with Ginger-ale Mushroom Onion Gravy

July 19, 2014 Sharon Leave a comment

This delicious crockpot roast has a delicious gravy with a surprising ingredient: Ginger-Ale!

This is now my favorite crockpot roast recipe as all others fall short in the flavor department.

Crockpot Roast with Ginger-ale Mushroom Onion Gravy

Ingredients:

3 pound sirloin tip roast
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 envelope onion soup mix (using full envelope makes it too salty)
1 envelope mushroom gravy mix (may use brown gravy mix instead)
2 cups ginger ale

Directions:

Grease the inside of your crock pot with Crisco. Place the roast in the crock pot. Whisk together the rest of the ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Pour over the roast, cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Whisk the gravy and flip the roast over every couple hours.

Slice and serve with mashed potatoes or cooked rice.

Crockpot Field Peas & Ham

June 11, 2014 Sharon 2 Comments

It’s summertime and this time of year you can find fresh field peas at your local farmer’s market. Here’s an easy way to cook those fresh peas in the crockpot. You can also use fresh frozen peas.

Ingredients:

6 cups fresh field peas (shelled and rinsed)
1 envelope onion soup mix
water
1 ham steak, diced

Directions:

Place the peas in your crockpot and add enough water to just cover the peas. Dump in the soup mix and stir in the diced ham.

Cook on low for approximately 2 – 3 hours. Check the peas for doneness by squishing the pea with your fingers to see if it’s softened up.

*You could do the same thing with dried blackeyed peas that have been pre-soaked and rinsed, but look for frozen peas and use them if possible. They taste so much better than dried peas.

Serve over steamed rice with diced onions (optional) and cornbread.

Soul food at it’s finest! I could eat this every day. 🙂

I hope you enjoy this easy recipe for field peas (blackeye peas) cooked in the crockpot.
