Foodie Finds By Alaina Loughridge
Mississippi Pot Roast
I will be the first to freely admit I cannot even boil an egg properly. I can cook
the hell out of some Ramen noodles, but I never have had any desire to cook
or learn to cook. I have learned over the years to work the system: marry a
cook, work in the food industry, order pizza delivered. I got this! So now that
I’m waning into my later years, I kind of want to learn. Not like overboard or
anything and here is how it started.
I was cruising Facebook and saw the most amazing recipe! It literally
takes zero to no effort, so naturally I am down with that! Put forward by
Housekeeping 101, the recipe is this:
1. Buy a chuck roast
2. Put it in the crock pot
3. Sprinkle Hidden Valley ranch dressing on top
4. Sprinkle McCormick Au Jus mix on top
5. Put a stick of butter on top
6. Put about 5 pepperoncini peppers on top (buy them in a jar)
7. DO NOT add water. Cook in crock pot on low for 8 hours
Man, I read this recipe and knew I could do this! So off to IGA I go.
Fast forward 10 hours later. Yeah, no. Super easy, but has the taste of a broth
pot pie without the crust or the vegetables or the fun bits. It will get you
through basic body sustenance, but to really enjoy this you probably need to
serve this over noodles, rice or mashed potatoes. The moral of this story is
nothing is ever easy! Tybee Island Pizza you still deliver, right??
