About This Recipe

"Amazing flavor, and so simple! No salt needed here. In fact, you may wish to use half the ranch dressing mix to cut back on the saltiness. Found this Crock-Pot pot roast recipe on of a website called www.recipegoldmine.com. It's all the rage there, so I thought I'd try it."

Ingredients

• 1 (4 -5 lb) beef roast, any kind
• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packages brown gravy mix, dry
• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packages dried Italian salad dressing mix
• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packages ranch dressing mix, dry
• 1/2 cup water

Directions

1. Place beef roast in crock pot.
2. Mix the dried mixes together in a bowl and sprinkle over the roast.
3. Pour the water around the roast.
4. Cook on low for 7-9 hours.

**I added a bunch of vegtables to the bottom of the pot after putting the roast in.   Worked out great.
** Use only 1/2 the packet of Ranch to decrease sodium.

Malaysian Chicken Soup

(adapted from the Slow Cook Book)

3 lb. free range chicken
1 onion, quartered
2” piece of ginger, peeled sand sliced
6 cloves of garlic, crushed
Soy sauce, to taste
Fish sauce, to taste
Noodles (fresh, if available)
Scallions, sliced
Mushrooms, sliced
Greens, cut into small pieces (I use chard, bok choy)

Put the chicken in upside down in the slow cooker. Add onion, ginger, garlic, and season
with salt and pepper. Pour enough water to cover chicken. Cook on low 6-8 hours (high
3-4 hours).

Remove chicken and let cool. Strain the remaining stock. Discard skin and bones, and
add chicken back to stock. Reheat, adding in soy and fish sauce to taste.
If your noodles are not fresh, cook and drain them. Toss in the veggies to cook in the
soup for about 5 minutes. Toss in the noodles to warm, then serve.
