Crockpot made even simplier


On many blogs, women post these elaborate recipes. Great for you...but I get lost at 5 or more ingredients:) I am all about saving money and time. Here are two recipes for you that are less than 2 lines long.

Put 4 Sirloin steaks in a crockpot. Season with what ever you want. Put lid on and cook for 8-9 hours. No liquid nothing. Tear apart and serve.
Use as beef sandwiches, beef for soups, hot beef sandwiches, or what ever your heart desires.
Put 4 foil wads in bottom of crockpot. Put whole chicken (taking out the gross stuff in the middle of course). Season with what ever (Italian Seasoning from Pampered Chef:)). Put lid on for 8-9 hours.
As you can see in my picture, it was so tender that I couldn't take it out in one piece. YUMMY! I was extremely proud of myself to cross over to the "Great Grandma Wilma" or Grandma Jackie side today. I about threw out the chicken when I couldn't tap out the parts on the inside, but I withstood my stomach and reached in and got all the little giblets out. I am very proud of myself if you can't tell that I did cook a whole chicken tonight. I am even more proud that it was only $3.50 (.69/pound) on sale and I have two more meals out of it!

I am very impressed that you cooked a whole chicken! I am working up to it- now I can get meat off the bones of pieces but I'm not quite ready to stick my hand inside anything. :)

Do you make the banners for your blog yourself, or where do you get them? Teach me!! :)
