Home » Meat » Beef » Layered Dinner

• 1 1/1 lbs rib eye steak
• 1 T of your favorite seasoning rub
• 1 T dried onion flakes (a fresh onion would be fine.)
• 2 T Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup tequila (or broth, apple juice, etc.)
• 2-4 potatoes
• 2-4 ears of fresh corn
• aluminum foil

Layered Dinner

1. Put meat in the bottom of the pot.
2. Rub with seasoning and onion, and flip over to get the other side.
3. Add tequila and Worcestershire sauce.
4. Wash potatoes and cover them with foil and add to the pot.
5. Shuck the corn, and wrap each ear in foil and add to the pot.

It doesn’t seem to matter if the potatoes are closer to the meat, or the corn. The new pots heat from the sides as well as from the bottom, so everything will cook through regardless of location.

Cover and cook on high for 5-7 hours, or on low for about 8. I cooked our dinner for 6 hours on high.

You can use whatever meat or vegetables you have in the house. The trick is to not use too much liquid when cooking the meat, so the potatoes and the corn (or whatever you’re using) isn’t floating in juice

Crock Pot Broccoli Casserole

Crock Pot Broccoli Casserole

This crock pot broccoli casserole is by far my husbands favorite crock pot dish. He has actually come in form work and smelled it with his great sniffer, bypassed me and our dollbaby, dropped everything he had in his hands and muttered "B R O C C O L I C A S S E R O L E, mmmmm". What is that all about? Every time I make it he acts like a kid in a candy store. I suppose it's good that after this many years he still gets excited 'bout my cookin' (at least that's what I'm gonna keep telling myself). For a while I only made it on special occasions and holidays (which it's perfect for). He likes it so much, it was almost like punishment only doing it a handful of times a year. Now I make it about once a month and surprise him.

Here is how I do it:

-2 -10 ounce packages of frozen chopped broccoli, thawed

-1 -10.75 ounce can of cream of celery soup, condensed and undiluted

-1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

-¼ cup onion that has been grated

-1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce

-¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper

-1 sleeve Ritz™ crackers, crushed

-2 Tablespoons of butter

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the soup, worcestershire sauce, pepper and onion. Once thoroughly combined, add 1 cup of the shredded cheese and the broccoli. Pour the mixture into a well greased 3 quart slow cooker. Top the mixture with the crushed crackers and dot with butter. Cover and cook on low for 2½ - 3 hours. Ten - 20 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese evenly on top and place lid on top to melt the cheese.

Pork Loin with Bacon and Brown Sugar Glaze Crock Pot

Pork Loin with Bacon & Brown Sugar Glaze
1 boneless pork loin
4-6 slices of bacon
Rub ingredients: 1 tsp chili powder; ½ tsp paprika; 1 tsp salt; ½ tsp pepper;
½ tsp cumin; 1 tsp cinnamon; 1/4 tsp onion powder; 1/4 tsp garlic powder.

Glaze topping: 1 cup brown sugar, 2 TB flour, 2 TB cider vinegar & ½ tsp dry mustard

1. Mix all of the above ingredients (the rub) and rub all over pork loin (I usually use the huge boneless pork roasts on sale and cut them down to about 2 1/2 lb roasts).
2. Place pork loin in crock pot and add about 1/4-1/2 cup of chicken broth. Cut each strip of bacon in half and lay them over top of pork loin.
3. Cook on low about 8-10 hours (if starting frozen, wet the roast and then rub the roast with the mixture. Cook on high 1 hour and then switch to low, it should work out fine).
4. About 45 minutes before eating, combine brown sugar, flour, vinegar & dry mustard in sauce pan. Bring to a simmer for about 1 min. Spoon over pork (it is more on top of the bacon at this point) and cook for about 45 minutes until ready to serve. This is just a glaze to go on top of the meat.

Delicious! I serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables. I also use the liquid left over in the crock pot as a gravy. Just put the liquid in a saucepan, bring to boil and add a little corn starch mixed with water to thicken up.
