Carols Pot Roast

• (1) 2.5 - 4 lb beef roast
• 1 Tablespoon of oil
• (1) 12 ounce can of Dr. Pepper
• 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
• 1 package of dry onion soup mix

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides. You want it to be browned evenly on all sides, but not cooked through. Place seared beef roast in 3 - 6 quart crock pot (just make sure it fits nicely in whatever size crock pot you use).

In a small bowl mix the dry onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup and the can of Dr. Pepper. Pour mixture over beef roast and cook on low all day (which is probably 7 - 9 hours).

Baked Mexican Cheese Sticks

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Pinch freshly ground black pepper
• 1 (12-count) package mozzarella string cheese
• Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Place the flour in a shallow bowl or plate. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon water. In another shallow bowl or plate, combine the panko, cilantro, salt and pepper.

Begin by coating the mozzarella sticks in batches of 2, first dredging in the flour mixture and shaking off excess. Then dip in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Finish by dredging in the panko crumb mixture and shaking any off excess. Transfer the breaded cheese sticks to a sheet pan greased with nonstick cooking spray. Cover and freeze until frozen, about 4 hours and up to 2 days (this will lessen the oozing of the cheese).

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Lightly spray the cheese sticks with nonstick cooking spray. Bake until the cheese is soft and the sticks are lightly browned, about 12 minutes
