Slow Cooked Pork Roast with Veggies

Yesterday's dinner was a slow cooked quick dinner.  Its all in the prep and then let it cook all day and enjoy.  Here is what you will need to make this delicious meal:

1 Boneless Center Cut Pork Roast

10 Baby Red Potatoes (halved)

1 Small Bag Baby Carrots 

1.5 Bottles of Beer (I used Bud)

1 Package McCormick Smoked Applewood Marinade

Rub spice pack onto roast and add to lined slow cooker. Add veggies to the sides of the pot. Pour the beer over the veggies.  I let it sit overnight in the fridge and then turned the slow cooker on in the morning on low for 8hrs.  The roast just fell apart when it was done.

Best part, since there is only two of us we get to have the leftovers tonight! Enjoy, I know we will again! 

Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Veggies

Now that Valentines day is behind us, next up is St. Patrick's Day! My husband loves Corned Beef and never waits for St. Patty's Day to cook it.  I personally don't eat it but have a great recipe passed along from Scott's mom.  Since they are Irish and all it MUST be good right?!? Well I have heard its the best from both of them and easy to make too!  Now the traditional way is Corned Beef and Cabbage but we leave that out since he isn't a fan, feel free to add it if you like it. Here is what you need:

1 Corned Beef Brisket
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Whole Grain Mustard
1 Teaspoon of Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
1 Bottle of Beer
1/2 Bag Baby Carrots
5 Small White Potatoes
1 Small Onion

Place the Beef in a large slow cooker, fat side up.  Sprinkle with brown sugar and spread mustard on top of sugar.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper then add beer around the sides.  Cook on high for 5-6 hours.  Baste beef with liquid after 4 hours of cooking.  With 1 hour left add the veggies and continue to cook for an additional hour or until veggies are cooked.  Serve and ENJOY!
