Slow Cooker London Broil

My first recipe in this new blog.  Sweet!  For those who don't know me, I have another blog over at Walking Between the Grapevines  Where I talk about pretty much everything. 

 I've been wanting to get a food blog started for a while now.  So, without further ado, my first blog recipe. 

One thing you'll find is that I tend to prefer simple, easy recipes.  The less time I spend in prep-work, the more time for everything else I have to do. 

Most of my recipes are adjusted to feed my family of seven. 

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds London broil
  • 2-3/4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-1/2 (10.75 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
  • 2/3 cup and 2 teaspoons water
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Directions: 

Place the London broil in a slow cooker; add the garlic, mushroom soup, water, basil, oregano, and salt. Cover. 

Cook on low 6 to 7 hours.

Jen's Incredible Baked Meatballs

Image
Here is the long-awaited recipe for meatballs to go with the marinara sauce that my son made a few weeks ago. The meatball subs were delicious!  He does need some help in the kitchen but insists all of his weekly cooking be from scratch.  Like with the marinara sauce, We used a recipe fromThe Fountain Avenue Kitchen.






This meatball recipe reduces mess--and fat--by baking the meatballs instead of pan-frying. Parmesan and panko add great flavor and texture. Make them ahead and simmer all day with Basic Marinara sauce (your favorite store bought works, too) in a crock pot set on low. Or heat on the stove as you are boiling water for pasta.

Tip #1: Double the batch and freeze half to serve later as mini meatloaves. Or reheat with sauce, top with cheese and make into a mean meatball sandwich.

Jen's Incredible Baked Meatballs:

1 pound hamburger, grass-fed if possible
2 eggs, beaten with 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup panko or bread crumbs
1 small onion, minced or grated (1/2 a…

Basic Marinara

Image
William, my Aspie son, has decided that he wants one night a week to make dinner. No quick foods here, he insists it be from scratch.  Like he lectured everyone, they won't be at home forever and won't be able to rely on me to cook all their meals.  (Although Andrew's response was that he'll come back for meals.)  


Last night we made marinara sauce and meatballs for the meatball subs William chose to make for his night this week.  I'm hoping that eventually he'll be able to do this without my help so I can actually enjoy the day off from cooking.  For now, it's just another reason for us to chat.  About politics.  His favourite topic. Yay me.





I'm always looking for a better marinara sauce... this is the best one yet, from The Fountain Avenue Kitchen . In my next blog post I'll post the delicious meatball recipe that I also found there.

2-3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, diced
3 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
