Pot Roast is OUT !!

[n2ize]

My Mom makes a delicious pot roast. Everytime I come over to eat downstairs and she makes pot roast I love it. But it looks like that will soon be no more. My dad is convincing my Mom not to make it anymore. he claims its "too greasy". Said he was washing the dishes and there was too much grease.

My Dad has always been an expert in getting good foods banned. If it were up to him I'd have grown up on dandelions, dried barley and rainwater. So, looks like in the future I'll have to make my own pot roast at home.Or marry a girl who makes it.

What is it about peoople who always have to put the KABOSH on good foods !!!

In hind sight, maybe you should have done the dishes.

Start cooking yourself, get the recept for that food, i'm the cook here meaning i decide what we get on our plate ;)
I love good food....doing the dishes? no problem

Ditto, Cor, I do most of the cooking here. Doing a potato and onion soup right now and I've already washed most of the stuff that I've used. That's the way the pros do it—keep a sink full of hot, soapy water and wash each item as you're done with it.

This doesn't have to be difficult . Think crock-pot.

Before you leave for work in the morning:

Put roast in crock-pot.

Surround it with cut up potatoes, carrots, onions, green & red peppers, zucchini, brocolli, cauliflower, whatever you have.

Cover in beef broth... or if you don't have any, dissolve a couple of bullion cubes in water.

Add seasonings to taste (pepper, onion or garlic salt, basil, oregano, teriyaki, whatever)

Put crock-pot on low, let it cook for 8 - 10 hours while at work.

Come home, turn of crock-pot, enjoy.

Same thing works with chicken, only use chicken broth instead.

The grease forms a crust when cold and is easily removed.

yes... same thing with certain soups. The grease flows to the top and when it chillls it hardens and you just remove it.

I make homemade soup all the time, five gallons at a time. We freeze it in Tupperware containers and then use it up over weeks or even months. You don't even need to wait until it gets cold, just turn the heat down a bit and the fat will float to the top where you can skim it off with a spoon.

I make damn good pot roast too.
