For me it would be pot roast. As simple as it sounds, I've never made one :o

Pot roast for me too, I wish I had a good simple recipe, my hubby said to me tonight I am tired of chicken, center cut pork chops, lamb, burgers, meat loaf, sausage/peppers etc., why don't you make a traditional pot roast, I said I can but my way unless you can tell me how to make it the traditional way.

Place your meat in a Dutch oven to brown; season with salt, pepper, garlic and parsley. Add a cup of water and let simmer for about an hour. Add cut up veggies - taters, carrots, onion; adjust seasonings (S & P); cook slowly till veggies are tender. skim off fat.

You can add a gravy - Mix 2 tablespoons flour with 1/4 cup cold water. Stir slowly into hot broth and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.

You can brown the meat in a skillet and transfer to Dutch oven and cook in oven - or you can brown meat and transfer to crockpot.

Couldn't be easier.

Sometimes I add crushed tomatoes for something a bit different.

I have always wanted to make a Baked Alaska and have never done so yet!

And anything that you ignite like Banana's Foster and Flombay dishes! I would love to start my food on fire and then let the alcohol burn off. I can only imagine I would burn my kitchen down LOL

But those are things that intriuge me and I would love to do!

Thanks much Mama Mangia I will definitely try out your recipe on Wednesday of this week, my hubby is flying out tomorrow, returning on Wednesday, then I will surprise him, thanks again, by the way what are taters?
