Perfect supper for a chilly night!

On a cold night, its nice to have a warm comfort meal. Although this wasn't a meal I have made before it looked promising. For one it was all done in the crock pot and it involved being able to use my homemade noodles. You could serve the noodles over mashed potatoes, but I decided KFC biscuits sounded way better. Although driving to KFC was not in the agenda, so I decided to make my own. If I wouldn't have told the fam I made them, they honestly thought they were KFC! That is a win in my book!!!

from Two Maids a Milking

1 Beef Roast
1 beer-can or bottle
1 package dry onion soup
3 cloves of garlic
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
10 cups of water
1 pound of homemade (store-bought) noodles

Place roast in crock pot and pour beer, onion soup, and garlic over top.

Cook on low overnight. In the morning, break meat apart. Add the mushroom soup and six cups of water. Add salt and pepper to your liking. Cook on low all day. An hour before you eat, add noodles as well as more water. Up to four cups depending on how moist you like it. 

*I used a roast that was almost 1 1/2 pounds, and only added the first 6 cups of water.

Pork Chops & Rice

Here's another food post! If you can't tell I love to cook/bake.

This recipe came from Mike's co-worker Mike L. The original recipe said to brown your pork chops then bake in the oven at 300 degrees for 2 hours, but it was a Wednesday night when I decided to make this and crock-pot meals are a must for this family that night. Everyone in the family LOVED this meal there wasn't much left. The pork chops were fall apart tender and wonderful!

* Gabby just informed me that if I would have left the rice out it would be perfect. Oh....kids.....
