Root-Beer Pot Roast

I know, I know, sounds scary. You won't believe how yummy it is, though! This is my modified version of a recipe my sister-in-law found on allrecipes.com. I dare you to try it. It's fantastic!

Ingredients:

4 pounds beef sirloin roast
3 carrots, chopped
4 red potatoes, cubed
1 onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 packet dry brown gravy mix
2 tablespoons water
1 package dry onion soup mix
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
10 oz root beer

Directions:

Put roast, garlic and veggies in a slow cooker. Mix gravy, water, soups, and root beer. Pour over everything. Cook on low for 6 hours. Serve with homemade rolls and salad.

Lime-Grilled Flank Steak

This is one of my all-time favorites. I love the taste!

Ingredients:

3-4 lbs flank steak
Olive oil
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 T cumin
4 T Montreal Steak Seasoning
2 limes, zested, juiced

Directions:

Coat steak with about 2 T olive oil. Mix grill seasoning with cumin and add the lime zest. Rub over the steak and place on a hot grill until done. Remove from heat and let the juices redistribute for a few minutes then cover with tinfoil to keep warm. Sautee onions and arrange them on a platter. Arrange steak on top of onions and squeeze lime juice on top. Serve with rice and a salad.

Taco Soup

Just a side note, if you are in a hurry; this can be made in the morning and then just cooked later. I throw everything in the pot in the morning and then Jeremy will turn it on when he gets home and just lets it simmer for an hour and we're done! It doesn't have to be done in parts like the recipe says if your day just won't allow for that. I know mine doesn't!
