So we had crock pot pot roast on Wednesday. It was very good - Lipton onion soup mix and two small cans of sliced mushrooms with the liquid and the water called for on the soup mix box. And Beau used the probe feature with the new crock pot. The meat was tender and the flavor was delicious.

The roast was 4 lbs, so we had a lot of leftover meat. So yesterday I was trying to figure out a good alternative for the leftovers to change things up a bit and I Googled “leftover pot roast recipes” and got a ton of hits. Two options stood out - beef pot pie or pot roast Shepherd’s pie. Since I didn’t feel like dealing with a crust, I opted for the Shepherd’s pie.

It took time to cube the roast, but it was totally worth it. The meal was hearty and wonderful.

And we have a lot of lovely broth and mushrooms leftover still - I think I’ll cook some chicken in the crock pot on Monday with it. A variation of my mother’s no fail chicken recipe.
